AT TIE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Delegates are Welcomed and Tel
egram Of congratulatiOn Sent
20 the Gar.


The sessions Of the peace conference
at The Hague called by car Of Russia
began Thursday afternoon in tho hall
Of Huis Ten Bosch, or the "house in
The wood, 4" two milos from The Hague.
NJ. DeBeaufort, president Of the coun-
ell and minister Of foreign affairs Of
the government Of the Netherlands,
delivered the Inaugural address and
welcomed the delegates.
The delegates decided to send the
following telegram to the car:
"Tho peace conference lays at the feet of
your majesty rs respectful congratulations
upon the occasion Of your birthday, and exc
presses IT'S sincere desire to cooperate in
the great and noble work in which your
majesty has taken generous initiative and
for which # begs you to accept its humble
and profound gratitude.
M. De staal, the Russian ambassa-
dor to Great Britain and head of the
Russian delegation, informally assum-
ing the presidency of the conference,
said his first duty was to express to
NJ. DeBeaufort his sincere gratitude
for the noble terms in which he re-
ferred to his august master, adding
his majesty would be deeply touched
as well as by the spontaneity by which
the high assem- blage has associated
itself Herewith.
After making his address, M. De
Staal, in behalf of the conference, tel
egraphed to the queen of the Neither
lands as follows:
"The members OF this conference assem-
bled for the first time in the beautiful Huis
Ten Bosch, hasten to lay at the feet Of your
majesty their best wishes, praying you to
accept their homage and gratitude for the
hospitality you have so graciously deigned
to offer them"
The reading of the message was
warmly applauded. Mr.. DeBeaufori
was appointed temporary president,
and the leading Dutch delegate, A. P
@. Vanekarnobeck, former minister Of
foreign affairs and deputy, was APP
pointed vice president.
After the appointment of nine seere
taries, NJ. De Staal's proposal that the
sessions be secret was adopted.

The dispatch of General Otis was
Immediately sent to the president at
Hot Springs. Secretary Alger said
that the situation was most encour-
aging and that it was apparent that
the Filipinos realized the strength of
the United States and saw that resist
ance would mean determination for
them if they persisted in defying
authority.
War department officials are firmly
convinced that tho end of the insured
ton in the Philippines is at hand, and
that the representatives Of the insur'
gent cabinet and of Aguinaldo who are
to meet General Otis will succumb t
the inevitable and surrender. Theil

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIas, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently vet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Commissioners Propose a Form
Of Government.
GOVERNOR GENERAL PROMISED.
President Mckinley, Himself, VIII Select
Temporary Ruler For The
Islanders.

A cable dispatch from Manila says:
The United States Philippine commits
sion has submitted to the Filipino |
commissioners a draft of the form Of
government the president is prepared |
to establish. According to this plan
governor general will be appointed |
for the islands by the president, as
will also be a cabinet, and later an
advisory council will be elected by the
people.
In spite Of the presence Of the Fill
Pine commissioners in Manila, the
military operations continue with un-
abated yigor.
The visitors were apparently igno-
rant Of the true condition of affairs.
Upon their arrival they were imme-
diately inundated with invitations
covering both day and night and ex-
pressed surprise at the condition OF
affairs within our lines.
They had been led to believe that
everything was chaotic, and are de-
lighted at the reception accorded
them.
Reports received from persons who
have arrived from the interior show
that no troops are left in the northern
province.
They were all drafted south after
the outbreak Of the war
The villages on the west coast are
almost deserted, and the Ilocanos,
especially, are DESTROYS of joining the
Americans, if only for the purpose of
crushing the Tagalos.
Many natives of Benguot and uOcos
said that if the Americans had not ar
rived civil war would necessarily have
ensued, owing to the friction between
the Tagalos and the inhabitants OF
other provinces.
1t is added that the only Filipino
troops now left are 1000 men under
General Luna at Tarlac, and about
1000 under General Pho del Pillar.
Even these are demoralized and short
of arms and supplies.
schurlnan Submits Proposition.
Professor Schurman, head of the
United States Philippine commission
has submitted the following writer
proposition to the Filipinos:
"While the final decision as to the
form of government is in the hands O.
congress, the president, under his mil
itary powers, pending the action o
congress, stands ready to offer the fol
lowing form of government
ga governor general to be appoint
ed by the president; cabinet to b
appointed by the governor general; al
the judges to be appointed by tn
president; heads of departments an,
judges to either be Americans or Fill
! ipinos or both, and also a general ad
: : visory council, its members to b
chosen by the people by form c
: suffrage to be hereafter carefully dc
9 termined upon.
"The president earnestly desire
: that bloodshed cease and that the pee
! pie Of the Philippines, at an earl
) date, enjoy the largest measures
self-government compatible with peac
J and order"
: The Filipinos have made no dehnit
u proposition, except for a cessation {
hostilities until they can present Tia
