DISARMAMENT Abandoned.
The Work of the Conference to Be
Directed to Arbitration and
Humanitarian Projects.
PLAN FOR A HI6H COURT OF NATIONS.
Outsiders with Plans Will BE snubbcd
by the Delegates and Petitions VIII Not
BE Received - The Dreibund United
Against Disar mamcut

The Hague, May l1.-Thc practical
Abandonment of the plans for universal
disarmament before the peace confer
bitter blow to Russia. The car would
never have called the conference but
for the hope that his disarmament pro-
posals would meet with success, thus
enabling Russia to stop the drain on
her finances and the crippling of her re-
sources brought about by maintaining
her great army. This was the prac-
teal reason for the issuance of the
peace manifesto.
The work of the conference will now
be directed entirely toward arbitration
and the success of humanitarian pro-
jects in which Russia has only an acad-
emic interest. The dreibund comes to
the conference united against disarm-
ament, but willing to consider other
subjects, one of which is practical
plan of arbitration. This con templates
the creation of an international tribu-
nal to which five countries shall send
judiciaries for a certain term of years;
then another five countries shall send
judiciaries to take their place and SO on
in regular rotation.
Another plan which will be consid-
cred is the establishment of a high
court of nations to which each country
shall contribute n member. This, how
ever, will probably be found too cum
brous. Outsiders with plans to sub
NIT to the conference will be snubbed
and the delegates will receive no petit
tions whatsoever.

enthusiast, and others are seeking re-
cognition at The Hague to-day, but the

THEY TALK AGAINST FUSION.
National Reform Press Members, In SEES.
sion at Kansas City. Oppose Future
Alliance With Any Other Party.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 17.-If the
populist editors of the country who
are here attending the session of the
National Reform Press ASSOCIATION are
able to mold the opinion of that
party it will never again fuse with
republicans, democrats or any other
political organization for the purpose
of gaining control of the national gov
ernment. Ignatius Donnelly, once the
populist candidate for president,
talked on national affairs to 80 popu-
list editors from all over the country
who are assembled in convention in
Lyceum hall. He was not eloquent
in his speech, but in forcible and
direct language he advised the popu-
lists against fusion and incidentally
excoriated William ]. Bryan and the
democratic party for treachery. The
burden of his speech was for the popu-
lists to keep to the middle of the road
and thus acquire success over ''totter-
ing and corrupt democracy. Mr..
Donnelly's remarks were heartily ap-
plauded and it was plain that his audi.
tors were in sympathy with him.
