AN EXCITING DAY AT THE HAGUE

Sharp Controversy Between Russian
and American Delegates Regarding
the Inhumanity Of Asphyxiatin3
Gases and Submarine Torpedo Boats.
London, June 23.-The correspond
emit of The Times at The Hague says:
This has been one OF the most exciting
days Of the conference. There Was a
sharp controversy between the Russian
and American naval delegates. Cap
tain Mahan very pertinently asked why
the employment of gases should BE-
interdicted, while the more cruel,
wholesale destruction of human life
aimed at by the employment Of sub
marine torpedo boats should be per-
mitted. "A shell charged with asphyx-
iating gas need not necessarily destroy
human life," he said, ANY more than
chloroform. but might only place men
hors de combat for time, whereas
submarine boat, stealthily approaching
under cover Of darkness might send
thousand sleeping men to a watery
grave. Why forbid retail asphyxia-
ton by air and permit wholesale
asphyxlation by water?"
A Russian delegate replied that the
men might be picked up when the ship
sank Captain Ma-an retorted by re-
calling the case Of the British battle
ship Victoria. where, as he pointed
out, in a highly disciplined feet, in
broad daylight and smooth waters,
many hundreds of men were drowned,
80 sudden was the catastrophe and SO
short the available time to pick up
the men. He reminded the commits
sion also that this happened when an
immense fleet was close together and
intent on doing its utmost to save life.
Captain Mahan's arguments we're al
together logical and unassailable, but
this did not prevent the commission

4 A LARGE number of the parents
and others interested in the pro-
gress of the pupils Of High School,
corner Eighth and Adams streets,
paid that school a visit on Wednes-
day or Thursday and inspected
their work in the pattern, machine
and smith departments. There is
no doubt that the manual training
received by the youths is very bene-
fetal to them and fits the boys for
their battle with life. These de-
partments are under the supervis-
ion of John Whitehead, John Robin
son and William Taylor, who speak
ia praise of the advancement made
by the pupils this year. This de
partment has become a necessity to
the boys, who take delight in their
work and turn out some excellent
specimens Of their labors. The
February class in the machine de-
partment has built fine lathe and
the June class, a quarter horse pow
er electric motor, which were much
admired and favorably commented
upon by the visitors. In the work
shop two desks, a table, chair and
two Morris chairs reflected much
credit upon the boys who, by their
industry and skill, made them dur
Ing their spare times after study.
In the forge Stop numerous lamp
stands and umbrella racks attest
the skill and mechanical ability OF
those employed in this department.
It was one of the most creditable
exhibits ever made by the boys in
the Manual Training School.

CLEVELAND srRIkR CONTINUES

fbrs OF the COMPANY.
Cleveland, June 28.-The hope Of .
settlement Of the street railway strike
was shattered last night when the
strikers, at q meeting, rejected by .
unanimous vote the proposition sub
mitted by the company to the special
committee Of the city council, ana 70
which the strikers committee had
agreed in the afternoon. The propo-
sition of the company states that 1t Is
ready and willing to take back into It's
employment, as 1t has ever been, such
of its employees as its business de.
mands, aggregating at the present
time 80 per cent Of such employees. and
as vacancies occur will give preferences
to such former employees, excepting
always those that have committed I'M
lawful acts against the company, us
property or employees during the pres
emit strike.
1t was generally believed, after the
conference of the representatives CT
the company and the committee Of the
strikers was concluded, that the end
of the strike would come this morning
and the action Of the strikers last night
came a. surprise. After rejecting
the proposition OF the company the
strikers began the work of drawing up
a proposition of their own, which will
be submitted to the council committee

THE papers are full Of suicides
and would be suicides every day,
by persons who imagine they have
out1ived their usefulness or are bet
ter off dead than alive. A great
many of them are undoubtedly not
in their right minds and are not
accountable for their rash actions.
Evidently a great many persons
imagine that they are not re
sponsible for their actions and do
not stop to think what it means to
take their lives or of the hereafter.
Such actions on their part are to be
deplored and all should be enllght,
ened so they will want to live ana
not die an unnatural death by their
own hand.

voting them down. A suggestion, that
seemed to be made quite seriously, was
put forward by one delegate to the eff
feet that submarine boat would nat
urally do her best to save life after
she had sent the ship to the bottom.
In the discussion regarding dunn DUN
bullets the Russian delegate, Colonel
Jillnsky, did not mince matters, but
plainly expressed the opinion that the
dunn dunn was uselessly cruel. He re-
fused to accept the humanitarian
amendment proposed by Captain
Crozier, of the American delegation,
which would have been voted unani-
mously, that no bullet should be
adopted which caused unnecessary
suffering
Although it must be obvious to all
that giving specific technical interdic-
ton to certain features will not pre-
vent the introduction of other features
capable of producing more cruel re-
suits, this is likely to be the case. In
deed, an ingenious and simple means
of evading TIE Russian Introduction has
already been devised. What a strange
commentary on humanitarian con-
ference that one of its results may
very we'll be the introduction of a
more cruel missile than any at present
In use.
When the vote was taken Great
Britain and America were left in the
minority. England and the United
States, therefore. are branded by the
majority as uncivilized and anti
humanitarian states, while the Rus
SLAMS are to be congratulated on hav-
ing served the cause of civilization and
humanity. At least the eccentricities
of today's debate have almost put mat
tiers in that absurd light.

THE majority of men work hard
all their lives and then are not able
to earn sufficient to insure a re-
spectacle living TO- themselves and
families, while others, like the
champion pugilists, by one blow of
their fists, can earn fortune. But
puyilists, like all other heroes are
soon lost sight of and replaced by a
new champion in the arena. The
champion of two years ago is re-
placed by a new champion OF this
year. But it is well enough to con-
slider the life of these men and turn
to something more onorable to earn
q living than pugilism.

Chester, Pa, June 23.-An explosion
occurred In the chemical house Of the
Eddystone print works last night,
blowing the building to pieces and de-
stroying a laboratory valued at $685.
600. The loss is fully covered by In
surance. All the chemists happened
to be out of the building at the time,
and no one was injured. The explo-
sion was due to the burning Of some
British gum, which 1t is thought heat
ed q quantity Of chloride Of potash.
The conclusion blew barrels, bits Of
timber and other objects many feet,
while an immense column of pure
white vapor assembled In the air, form
ing a magnificent spectacle.
