tive Of the Gar, saying that it 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 the day as
the most glorious day of his life.
Baron De Staal, the Russian ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, and the head of the
Russian delegation, was selected president
of the conference. In assuming the chair
he said that his first duty was to express
to Mr.. De Beaufort his sincere gratitude
for the noble terms in which he had re-
ferred to his august master, adding that
his Majesty would be deeply touched as
we'll as by the spontaneity with which the
high assembly had associated itself there
with After the selection of nine secre-
tares and the sending of message of
greeting to Gar Nicholas of Russia the
conference adjourned until Saturday.

True ON the Face of tt.

The Brussels Gazette has the fol-
lowing: julien Atlas was sent by his
mother to buy an eel. For this she
gave him a five-franc piece. On the
road to the seller he played with his
money by throwing it up and catching
it, till at last he missed it, and it rolled
into the water of the Nord canal. With
an anxious eye he peered over the quay
after the retreating piece of money, and
a gust Of wind sent his hat after it.
Promptly he took his decision, got into
a boat, followed his hat, which had
lust got below the water, disappear
ing evidently for all time. Inside his
hat he found an eel-and this is just
where the story becomes interesting.
When he took the eel home his mother
found inside-well, not the five-franc
pierce, but eight pieces of half franc
each, viz: four francs in all. AS this is
Just what the lady expected to get back
after paying for the eel, the transaction
was complete and satisfactory to all
concerned, always excepting the eel.
The puzzle is, where did the eel find the
coins? Very probably where the story
came from.

Tesla Promises Wonders by Wireless
Te1egraphy.

Nicola Tesla, the electrical inventor,
proposes to establish communication be-
tween the earth and the planet mars with
an instrument so sensitive that it will feel
disturbances created anywhere on the
globe. Tesla says:
''The coming century will be the era Of
the atmosphere. From the moment / dis
covered that the air under certain condi-
tons was better conductor than a brass
rod, l saw possibilities which made me
grow fairly dizzy at their extent. The
transmission of force and influence to any
distance, the use of the suns energy for
all the needs Of man, the possibility of con-
trolling things with which there is no Wis.,
ible connection, these and an endless
number of smaller achievements have be-
come facts that, in short time, will have
their practical demonstrations.
1.-THE idea of wireless telegraphy which
arouses such interest now because it is de-
veloped to new basis, is not wonderful at
all compared to the principle of which it is
one application

PEACE TALK BEGUN.
CARS GREAT CONFERENCE
CALLED TO ORDER.
Dutch Minister Welcomes the Envoys
to The Hague-Baron De Staa1 Is
Chosen to Preside Over the Congress
Sessions Are Secret.

The ASSEMBLING at The Hague of repre-
sentatives of all the civilized nations to
consider propositions designed to prevent
war is one of the important events of the
closing years of the nineteenth century.
Despite skepticism as to immediate results
and despite imputations of insincerity on
the part of the Gar and many of those
who take part in the conference, it seems
harbinger of the decline of militarism.
AS the conference opened it was accepted
as settled that little would be done in
direct furtherance of the main object, as
stated in the call of the Czar-disarma-
ment. But as a result of the conference
mighty impetus is likely to be given to
the cause of international arbitration,
which, in the end will lead at least to par
tial disarmament and to the lessening of
the burdens of militarism. The discus
sions in the conference, as indicated at the
opening, cover three principal lines. The
first relates to restrictions of ornaments
and military expenditures-the least hope
full topic of the three, SO far as anticipa-
lions Of immediate results are concerned.
The second deals with the laws governing
civilized warfare, and the third with med
iation and arbitration. In both these lines
some specific results should come from
the conference. The proceedings will be
watched with interest by the entire civ
ilized world.
With brief formal session Thursday
afternoon the international disarmament
conference, summoned by Russia's ruler,
began it's deliberations. Representatives
of all the foremost governments in the
world were gathered in the Huis Ten
Bosch when Mr.. De Beaufort Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, called
the gathering to order. Mr.. De Beaufort
spoke of the high honor of the choice of
The Hague as the meeting place for the
conference and extolled the noble initia-

RACE WITH FIRE AT SEA.
The BarbarOssa Forced to Put About
and Run Into New York Harbor.

The series of accidents resulting from
the discovery of fire in the hold Of the
North German Lloyd steamer Barbarossa
after she had left port was perhaps the
most remarkable that ever occurred in
New York harbor. Her pilot was unable
to control her properly and her bow struck
an Erie float that was passing in tow Of
tug, punching hole in it. This sent the
Barbarossa still farther in toward shore,
and after narrowly missing a crowded
ferryboat she crashed bow-on into La
Bretagne, which was lying at pier Al.
The impact broke La Bretagne from
her mornings, and she shot forward and
crashed into the ice boats Richard J. Eos
ter and LIE Roy which were lying side
by side in front of her. They were cut In
two as by knife, and in less than a min
ute were at the bottom of the river. Their
crews escaped by taking to the water or
jumping to another ice boat near by.
Had the Barbarossa struck lie Bretagne
at right angles the latter would have been
cut in two. AS it was, she began to sink
at once, but the use of tarpaulins and
steady pumping kept her up, and all night
the stevedores worked to unload her
cargo.

PEACE MISSION A FARCE.
Aguina1do's ENJOYS Once More Ask
that an Armistice Be Granted.


that an Armistice Be Granted.
Gen. Gregorio del Pillar, commander OF
the insurgent forces in front of Gen. Law
tons division; Lieut.. Col. Alberto Bar
retto, Judge Advocate Maj. Zealcita of
Aguinaldo's staff and Senior Graciognzags,
a former member of the Filipino cabinet,
commissioners appointed to cooperate
with Senores Florintino Torres, Pablo
Campo and Teodore Yanco of Manila, for
the purpose of negotiating terms OF peace
with the American commissioners, reach
ed Manila by a special train from Malolos
Saturday morning.
The party was closeted with Gen. Otls
for more than an hour; but the interview
was decidedly unsatisfactory, the commls-
sion having nothing definite to propose and
being unempowered to negotiate terms.
The commissioners brought communlca-
ton directed from Aguinaldo asking for
an armistice pending the decision of the
Filipino congress as to what policy should
be adopted AS before, Gen. Otis refused
to entertain the proposition.
Gems. Luna and Rio del Pillar and their
forces are opposed to surrender. They
want to continue the war and have used
every influence in their power to prolong
hostilities. Gen Luna has always been
rated as one of the most irreconcilable of
the rebels, and his action some time ago, in
sending two of his officers to ask for u
truce, pending negotiations for settle
ment of the revolt, caused surprise. 1t is
evident now that his action was the result
of orders from Aguinaldo. The instruc-
tons given the commissioners, Gen. Luna
knew, the Americans would not accept.
He saw chance for delay, and probably
agreed to send the commission so that he
might, pending the parley, recoup his
losses sustained in the field.
Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong

Seven Men Declared to Be Working

Seven men, nearly all of whom are for

against the Transvaal republic. Further
warrants have been issued, many promi-

conspiracy. According to the authorities,

the prisoners, showing that they are en-
rolling men to cause a rebellion. Two
thousand men are said to have been enlist

An estimate of what the news costs q
big newspaper and how it travels may be
derived from the telegraphic tolls charged
for transmission. The expense of tele-
graphing war news from Manila is at the
rate of 1886 a word. From Manila to-
New York the cable route is: Manila to
Hong Kong, thence to Saigon in Anam,
Singapore, the Straits of Settlements and
Penang, on the Malay peninsula, to Mad
ras, India; thence by Eastern Telegraph
cable to Alden in Arabia, to Port Said and
Alexandria in Egypt; Malta, Gibraltar,
Lisbon and Plymouth, England; from
Plymouth by Commercial cable to Wat
erville, Ireland, and Canso, Nova Scotia,
to New York.
News comes that during the last winter
the submergence of Sable Island by the
ocean has proceeded rapidly. Sable Isl
and which lies eighty-five miles east Of
Nova Scotia and in the track of ocean
steamers, is the most notorious spot in the
world for shipwrecks. In the last ninety
years more than $50 ships have been
wrecked on it's treacherous shoals, and
two lighthouses placed on the island by
the Canadian Government have been
washed away by the ocean. During all
these years it has been gradually sinking
under the water, until now the island is
not much more than one-thrd as large as
it was at the beginning Of the century.
