FRUITS OF THE CONFERENCE.
Conventions and Treaties Received by the State Department In-
 dfcate Prowress Made.

Washington, July 19.-The work ac- complished by The Hague conference, as represented in the conventions and treaties which have just reached the state department, are divided into three classes. The first relates to the revision of the rules of war relative of the rescue of shipwrecked and wounded persons in marine battles. Included under this general head is . provision for extending to hospital ships immunity from capture in three tional vessels under proper insignia: second, private hospital ships fitted out by benevolent persons; third, hos pital ships fitted out by neutral pow CTS, benevolently inclined for the res cue of wounded and shipwrecked sail. ors.
 Conventions of the second class are plementing of rules for the conduct of war on land. These undertake to define who are and who are not prop CT combatants. They also provide for the proper treatment of prisoners of war, etc.
 The third class of conventions contain articles looking to the peaceful ad- iustment of international differences, including a scheme of mediation, a scheme of international courts of in- quiry, and scheme for permanent arbitration tribunal. All of these con yentions are under careful scrutiny, and if they comply in terms with the brief synopsis already furnished the government, they will secure the ad- hesion of the state department.

NAXIMS OF THE SMART GIRL.

Never mistake fads for fashions.
 Gloves and shoes too small are de. cidedly bad form.
 Ripped garments and frayed edges are fatal to smartness.
 Good grooming is the necessary pre-. liminary to smart dressing.
 A sense of appropriateness in attire is more desirable than riches.
 Never tie a necktie hastily, or ever look spot on collar or a rip in . glove.
 Learn how to carry the body correct ly if you expect to carry your clothes we'll.
 Fresh linen is as essential to the smartly dressed girl as to the correctly dressed man.
 Well-brushed skirts, well-cleaned shoes, and a trim waist-line cost noth- ing.-Demorest's Magazine.

ARE SICK OF THE kLONDIKE
Inside View of How looms are Got ten Up by the Transporta-
 ton Companies.


 San Francisco, July 19.-The steam CT Portland arrived here yesterday, H days from St. Michael, with l5O pas sengers and $1,ooo.000 in gold or board. The most of the returned pec pie are without means, and about $500,. 900 of the gold is owned by few lucky people, the balance being the prop cry of the Alaska Commercial Co.
 Indignant at Their Treatment.
 The miners speak indignantly of the treatment accorded prospectors who went to the Cape Nome district at the solicitation of the transportation com panies. The reports arriving yesterday fully confirmed the press advices re. ceived from Dr. Stone, formerly of this city, who went north during the first rush to the Cape Nome district.
 The District Has Been "salted."
 The Portland passengers say UT. qualifiedly that the district has been "salted' in the interests of the trans portation company, and great suffer ing prevails in the district, food, fuel and clothing being scarce.
 Few Lucky, Many Hungry.
 Reports of n similar nature come from passengers who went us far north as Rampant City. A few rich pockets have been struck, here and there. but no very important finds have been reported. As soon as some prospector makes a strike his joy gets the better of him, and he tells others, This causes a rush, and among the great numbers who join these rushes, possibly a dozen. or even less, may take out few hundred or possibly few thousand dollars.
 Unconscious Boomers.
 They generally make their way to the settlements, followed by a large number of the luckless ones, and the arrivals of so many miners at one time at settlement, accompanied by few who spend their money lavishly, give rise to the rumor of the great richness of a particular district. And the transportation companies are not slow to take advantage of the oppor- tunity to delude prospectors into go- ing into the districts. Many of the miners who returned on the Portland spent their last dollar to obtain trans portation to this city, and some had to sell all their possessions to get enough money to pay their transpor- tation charges.
 Pessimistfc View.
 R. F. Edgar, one of the passengers on the Portland, takes a very gloomy view of the state of affairs in Dawson.
 There is nothing doing there," he said Tt is frightfully dull. The place is so overrun with unemployed men that there are at least ten men for every job. No. there is no suffering. There seems to be food for all. but there are great many men who are without money, and who will undoubt. edly suffer. have no doubt that the government will have to step in and take care of these men.
 Would Leave If They Could.
 There are hulsAreds anxious to leave Dawson, and who would leave of they had the means, but they have not, and there is an end to it."
 How many left within the last month ?''
 Fully 2,o00.- A large number have worked their way down on the Port land. No, there have been no new strikes. There are certainly men up there who, have made good thing, and they are pleased, but the majority are heartily sick of the Klondiks country"

Louisville, Ky, July ,9.--A special to the Courier-Journal from London,
 Ky, tells of report reaching there of
 the outbreak of another feud in Clay
 county, by which five men lost their
 lives Monday.
 The dead are said to be: Robert Philpot.
 Ed Fisher.
 Aaron Morris.
 Jim Griffin.
 Hugh Griffin.
 These fatalities resulted from pitched battle fought near Little chester.
 The feud dates back nearly two years. On Christmas, 1897, James Phil. rot was killed by Aaron Morris, but
 before he died he shot and killed Will. jam Sunday, a friend of Morris. The Morrises and Griffins were closely af- filiated. Since then the feeling be-
 tween the two factions has been very
 bitter, and it has been aroused recent
 ly by the White-Baler hostilities.
 The Philpots, who are the strongest
 faction in the mountains. numbering about 750 voters, openly cspouscd the
 cause of the Bakers, while the GriT-
 fins took sides with the Whites
 The story that reaches here is to the
 effect that Bob Philpot was arrested Monday morning by Deputy Wash
 Thacker. While very circumstancial
 in other respects, the report does not show clearly the origin of the trouble nor give the reason for philpot's ar rest. It is said that while Thacker wns taking Philpot's bond the latter was
 shot from behind by member cf n crowd that had gathered. This pre-
 cipitated general fight with Win
 ehes1ers and revolvers, which was
 participated in by George Granville, Robert and Peter Philpot and Ed Fisher on one side, and Aaron Morris. Hugh, Jim and Green Griffin on the
 other.
 The battle began at about nine
 o'clock and ragged fiercely for ten or fifteen minutes. When it was over. it
 was found that the five men mention. ed above had been killed outright.
 three of the belligcrents were serious.
 ly wounded. while Pete Philpot was the only one on either side to escape injury.
 Granville Philpot is said to be one
 of the most seriously wounded. He is a Union veteran, having lost a leg at Stone River. He is an ex-member of
 the Kentucky legislature, and is said
 10 have killed three or four men. Ed Fisher, who is reported dead.
 was another man with several hicks in
 his cane He was but 9 years old, but
 was said to have killed three men. The situation at Manchester is de-
 plorable. Since Monday morning the place has been in a state of terror.
