The PEACE CONFERENCE.
Americans Still Hopeful CT Some tf their Ar.
biration Scheme Being Adopted.

The Hague, June 1.-THE chief dele
gates 70 the peace conference met, Sat
urday morning, to discuss German
complaints against the secrecy imposed
upon the delegates andthe consequence
OF misleading reports published, and it
IS understood that Count Munster, head
of the German delegation, was in
structed to propose that the protocols
for the plenary sittings Of the commit
tees be Immediately published after
they are drawn up.
American delegates say they are still
confident Of the adoption of some of
their chief projects for arbitration But.
the preliminary discussion Friday in
dicates the impossibility of maintain
ing them all. For instance ii Is i'm
possible to carry the proposal that the
Judges Of the arbitration tribunal be
elected by the highest court of justice
of each country. as some of the Euro
pean countries DO not possess a judi
cial organization permitting such pro-
ccdure. 1t is expected that the like
lest outcome viii be that each country
will be free TO choose the manner Of
nominating its own judges.
The Americans propose to insist up
on q permanent tribunal. If this is i'm
possible they hope to obtain at any
rate the institution of a permanent
commission. They will also insist on
other points.

Paris June 12-Yesterlay was an

There is no doubt that the fear of
disorders kept many society people
away from Longchamp. This is shown
by the receipts which were 1870, 600
francs below those of last years Grand

Later in the evening, disorderly

AT a late hour this evening, there is
considerable effervescence along the
boulevards, where the traffic is much
impeded. a few police charges were
necessary in the vicinity of the Offices
Of the Librc Parole. The only grave
incident of the day occurred after the
President had returned to the Elysee,
at one Of the garden restaurants in the
Alice de Longchamp. About 5.15, when
the adjustment was full of custom
ers, somebody made an objectionable
remark concerning the President, the
people took sides and a regular fight
cnsued. Bottles. glasses( decanters,
tables and chairs We're hurled about.
At the same time a crowd of Social

throng quickly swelled to several

Local Matters.
DID YOU LOSE ?
That Was The Great Question. Saturday.
Among the Sporting Men.

How much did you lose on the big
hght?"
One would have thought by the
queries Of this sort, Saturday. that
every one had bet on Fitzsimmons.
II was a great day for the sporting
men Of the city, Saturday, to go about
talking over the great fight. No very
large bets We're placed on either, the
largest reported being bet of $50 to
500 made between an Augusta ana a
Portland man. the Augusta man win
ming. But there was an innumerable
number Of small bets varying from q
soda to $40.
1t is rather surprising to hear people
talk of the prize fighting. Men who
are classed among the church members
and who if there was a suggestion Of
prize fighting in Augusta would at
once veto the idea with disgust, be-
come interested in these great mills
They read an item or two regarding the
men and as the date Of the fight ap-
proaches and they hear their friends
talking over the possibilities and max
ing bets. they are imbued with the
spirit Of taking d chance and picking
a winner, and they invariably choose
the man without a reputation. They
expect to see the champion win though
they hope the unknown one will Will
the winner and then they say they
want the winner of that battle whip
