Gar by the Delegates.
NJ. De Staal. Russian Ambassador to Eng
land. Made President.

The Hague, May 1S.-The peace con-
| ference called by the Car of Russia
/ was opened, at o'clock this afternoon,
in the hall Of the Huis Ten Bosch, or
the House in the Woods" two miles
| from The Hague.
| NJ. De Beaufort. president of the
council and minister of foreign affairs
| of the government of the Netherlands,
| delivered the inaugural address and
| welcomed the delegates. NJ. De Beau
| fort spoke of the high honor of the
choice of The Hague as the meeting
place for the conference and extolled
the noble initiative of the Car, saying
this would be a red letter day in the
| history of the century and expressing
the hope that His Majesty would be
! able to look back at today as the most
glorious day of his life. He concluded
with calling attention to the allegorical
group over the doorway of the hall.
| Peace entering to close the temple of
Janus" and said:
Il trust this beautiful allegory will
be good augery of your labors and
that after you have completed them
you will be able to say that peace,
whom art introduced into this hail. left
it TO spread it's blessings among the
whole humanity"
The delegates decided to send the fol-
lowing telegram to the Car:
The peace conference lays at the
feet of Your Majesty its respectful con-
gratulationS upon the occasion of your
birthday and expresses its sincere de-
sire to cooperate in the great and
noble work in which Your Majesty has
taken a generous initiative and for
which it begs you to accept its humble
and profound gratitude
NJ. De Staal, the Russian ambassador
TO Great Britain and head of the Rus
sian delegation, in formally assuming
the Presidency of the conference, said
his first duty was to express to Nj. De
Beaufort his sincere gratitude for the
noble terms in which he had referred to
his august master.
Continuing, NJ. De Staal said that be-
side the Cars initiative of the confer
ence we owe much to the Queen Of the
Netherlands for inviting us to her cap
ital. 1t is happy augury of success
that we have met under the auspices
of the young sovereign whose charge
is felt in wide circle. whose heart
is open to everything great and gener-
Gus and who has displayed such SYM
pathy with the cause which brings us
here.
After a reference to the historic
peace treaties concluded at The Hague
and expressing regret that NJ. De Beau
fort had not accepted the Presidency
Of the conference, NJ. De Staal said in
conclusions:
II cannot consider my election other
wise than inspired by my position as
plenipoteniary Of the Emperor, who is
the initiator of the conference, and on
this ground | accept with deep graft
tude the distinguished honor and I
shall use every endeavor to justify your
confidence, but | am perfectly aware
that advanced age is, alas, sad priv

the men off but not until there had
been 4 sharp chase.
When the two teams We're overhaul
ed the drivers asked what was wanted.
On receiving the reply that the officers
proposed to look into the load, they
said that they had nothing but ginger
