PEACE CONGRESS.
America Not Bound by the Re-
ported Decision.

pOrCc0 OeC1S1On.
WASHINGTON, July 24-The United
States will not be bound by the re-,
ported decision of The Hague Confer
ence to prevent the use of the dumdum
bullet in warfare. So far we have not
been obliged to resort to the use OF
this bullet, but the ordnance officers
have been making experiments to Sc.
cure an Increase on the stopping eff
feet of the small caliber ball used in
the Krag-Jorgensen, and these expert
ments have proceeded somewhat on
the lines of the dumdum ball. Tho
specific reason why Captain Crozier
and the remainder of the American
delegates voted against the proposal to
prohibit the dumdum was because their
general instructions forbade them to
pledge this Government to any line oi
action that would retard the develop.
ment of inventive genius in war. Ad-
hesion to the protocols is voluntary.
Great Britain also refuses to prohibit
the use of dumdum bullets.
The final act embodying the results
of the international peace conference,
after enumerating the names and quai-
ifications of all the delegates, says:
In a series of meetings in which the
above delegates participated, inspired
throughout by the desire to realize in
the highest possible measure the gem
erous views of it's august initiator, the
conference has drawn up for the ap-
proyal of the respective Governments
the series of conventions and declara-
tions appended:
Convention for the pacific settle
ment of international disputes.
Convention concerning the laws and
customs of war on land
Convention for the adoption Of laws
against the use of asphyxiating or
deleterious gases for balloon prujec-
tiles, and for the prohibition of the use
of bullets that easily expand in the
human body"
The final act contains five express
sions of opinion, as follows:
''The conference considers that linl-
itations of the military charges which
at present oppress the world are great
ly to be desired for the increase of
the material welfare of mankind.
THE conference expresses the opin
ion that the question of the rights and
duties of neutrals should be inscribed
on the program of a conference to be
held at an early date.
''The conference expresses the ooin-
ion that the questions relative to the
type and caliber of rifles and naval
artillery as examined by it should be
the subject of study by the different
Governments with a view to arriving
at a uniform solution by future con-
ference.
1.-The conference expresses the wish
that an early convention be called to
revise the Geneva Convention
The conference has resolved that
questions relating to the inviolability
of private property in war on land
and the bombardment of towns or viii
lagos in naval war be reserved for
future conferences.
The convention was signed by all
the plenary delegates.

Died at His Residence al San Francisco
Last Evening.
His Sudden Demise Entirely Unex-
pected, Although He Had Been
Confined to His Home for Some
Time With Severe Cold
Was Identified With the
Growth and Development of the
State From the Days of the
Territorial Pioneer.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Lloyd
Tevis, the well known capitalist, died
tonight at his residence in this city.
The end was entirely unexpected, al
though he had been confined to his
room with a severe cold for about a
fortnight He had not been robust
for some time, and owing to advancing
years, he was unable to withstand the
complications which followed his orig
inal indisposition.
Mr.. Tevis was born in Kentucky, 10
years ago, but had been resident of
this State for fifty years. He came
to the Pacific Coast in search of gold
in 1S49. but fortune which smiled on
him so kindly in later years had no
encouragement for his earlier efforts.
He was unsuccessful at prospecting,
and was glad to accept clerical posi-
ton in the Office of the Recorder OF
Sacramento. Here he received a train
ing in the values of property, and by
carefully saving and shrewdly invest
ing his meagre earnings, he soon had
a few hundred dollars capital. In 1SoO
he formed a partnership with James
3. Haggin, which has ever since con-
tinued This firm entered upon a
career of almost unexampled pros
perity, buying and selling lots on a
small scale at first, and gradually in
creasing their operations until Haggin
& Tevis owned immense tracts of land
in the central counties of the State,
including some of the richest lands in
the San Joaquin Valley, and only one
firm, that of Miller & Lux, had more
cattle and sheep.
Mr. Tevis founded the Pacific Ex-
press Company, and afterward became
principally identified with the organ
ization and development of Wells,
Fargo &. Co. For many years he was
President and Managing Director of
that corporation, only retiring few
years ago on account of his health and
age, and still being the presumptive
owner of much of the express com
pany's stock.
Mr.. Tevis was one of the wealthiest
and best known residents of San Fran
cisco, and has been identified with the
growth and development of the State
from the days of the territorial pio-
neer. He was entirely self-made
man, and his wealth, variously esti-
mated at from $1O,000,000 to $20000,-
900, was largely invested in number
of well known corporations.
He leaves a widow, two daughters
and three sons.

GEORGIA LYNCHING.
Excitement in the Southern State
Not Yet Abated.

CAMBRIDGE (Ga.), July 24.-Deea-
tur and Early Counties are still great
ly excited over the recent lynchings
of negroes. One negro was lynched
by hanging after his body had been
mutilated, two had been found dead
and their scalps reported to be on ex
hibition at Saffold, while the bodies of
two others were found lying near d
railroad track in the disturbed district.
TIL cause of their death is in doubt
Crowds are still hunting for five 9TH
er negroes who were implicated by
Louis Sammons, one of the men
lynched, in the assault of the Ogletree
family.
The trouble is believed to have been
begun by the gang of negroes who es-
capped from jail last June at Augusta,
and have terrorized this part of the
State for several weeks. 1t is not
likely quiet will be restored until the
other five negroes are disposed of, If
they are still in this part of the coun-
trY.

AN AMERICAN WOMAN
Accused Of Shop-Lifting at the
CAPITAL of France.

PARIS, July PA sensational case
which recalls the case of Mrs. Castle of
San Francisco in London, about two
years ago is agitating Americans here.
A lady who is described by some of
the papers as Mrs. A., an American
millionairess, well known in New
York society, but who the Consulate
here says is Miss Hobbs, was caught
shop-lifting in the Louvre. Inspector
Albanet, the head detective of the
Louvre, followed her about the store
and noticed that she picked up some
thing at every counter she passed. The
woman was arrested outside the Louvre
and taken to the police station. A po-
liceman searched her rooms at the Ho-
tel Continental, where number of
stolen objects ware found. On paying
for the property the woman was re-
leased.
