According to the Hon. Arthur Ponsonby,
managing director of the Liberia rubber
syndicate, which recently guaranteed the
interest of Liberals public debt, the Mont
gomery's visit Is probably prompted by a
desire TO ascertain the extent of French
activity Mr.. Ponsonby said:
Bishop Hartzell, while in Monrovfa this
year, strongly urged the government to in
terest the United States in preserving the
boundaries, with the result that Liberia an

The feeling among British subjects COM
mercially interested in LIBERIA is that the
republics progress had better be under the
protection of either Great Britain or the
United States. But both the British gov
ernmcnt and those having interests there
believe that so long as Liberia can con-
tinue to struggle on in her present condi-
ton everything possible should be done to
support her.
Liberia decorated Mr. Ponsonby this weel,
with the Order OF African Redemption in
recognition of his services against encroach-

\ dispatch from London. dated yester-
tay, SAYS: II has been learned by the As
ISOLATED Press that the United States
cruiser Nontgomery's visit TO Liberia is
apparently the result of overtures made to
Washington by that republic. Though the
British government Is in complete ignorance
of the purpose of the Montgomery's mis-
sion. the establishment of a coaling station
in Liberia by the United States is regarded
as scarcely probable, as, 1t is asserted. no

that 4 far more important step is under

BLACKBURN IN THE LEAD.
Prospect That He Will Overcome All
Opposition for Senator.

A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky, last
night says: Although three days will elapse
before the assembling of the legislature
the state capital is already filed with legis-
lative and political leaders. approximating
the crowd usually here on the opening
day.
Although some of the thti-Goebel lead
ers are fighting hard to bring their forces
against Blackburn as well as against
Goebel, the anti-Blackburn movement does
not appear to be strong, and unless II can
gather strength as a result of the tangle
over the state contests Blackburn will win
for the United States senator with the ease
his managers have been claiming for him.
So far only two anti-Goebel democrats
have declared themselves positively as anti
Blackburn. The anti-Goebel leaders are
not doing much talking regarding their
plans of procedure, but they are making
some strong claims regarding their
strength on the matter of the contests
They assert with confidence that they have
a majority of one In the senate on the
contests, and that in both houses there are
several members who, though they NAV
vote to seat Goebel and Beckham, will
not vote to unseat any of the republican
legislators against whom contests are
pending.

Work Accomplished by the Meeting
Called by the Gear.


In conformity with the invitation ex-
tended by the Gar of Russia last year. the
international peace conference assembled
at The Hague on May 1S, where it was re-
ceived with every mark of attention by the
government of the Netherlands. NJ. de
Staal. the Russian ambassador to England,
presided. Twenty-six nations We're repre-
scented at the conference. These included
the six great European powers-Great Brit
ain, Russia Germany, France, Austria
Hungary and Italy; the three European
powers of the second rand-Spain Sweden
and Norway and Turkey; the eleven minor

Portugal, Denmark; four Asiatic nations
Persia, China, Japan and Siam; two from
North America-the United States and
Mexico.
country. but some countries sent only one,
and the actual number in attendance was
nearly one hundred. The Vatican urgently
sought an invitation to the conference. but
1taly's objection prevailed Bulgaria de-
sired an invitation, but Turkeys nominal
suzerainty stood In the way; Montenegro
was represented by Russia.
On July % the conference was brought to
a close. The convention on arbitration was
signed at once by sixteen powers. and the

resented. The conventions recommended
were as follows:

of international disputes.
Convention concerning the laws and Gus
toms of war on land.
Convention for the adoption of laws
against the use of asphyxiating or delete
rious gases from balloon projectiles and
for the prohibition of the use of bullets that
easily expand in the human body
The final act contains FIVE expressions of
opinion, as follows:
The conference considers the Limitation
of the military charges which at present
Cypress the world are greatly to be desired
for the increase of the material and moral
welfare of mankind.
The conference expresses the opinion
that the questions of rights and duties of
neutrals should be inscribed on the pro-
gram of conference to be held at an early
date
The conference expresses the opinion
that questions relative to the type and cal
iber of rifles and naval artillery, as exam
ined by it, should be the subject of study
by the different governments. with the view
of arriving at a uniform solution by a fu-
ture conference.
Inc conference expresses the wish that
an early convention be called to revise the
Geneva convention.

On March 23 Mallkfoa vas crowned King
of Samoa. The American and English off,
Gals attended the deremdnies, but the Ger
mans on the island took no part. A procla-
nation was made to Mataafa, stating that
if he would lay down his arms and return
with his followers to their peaceful occupa-
tons he would not be treated as a rebel
This proclamation Was unheeded and hos
ulities were renewed. On April 1 a force
of English and American sailors were sur
prised by the natives. and after sharp fight
ing two officers and two seamen from the
Philadelphia and three English sailors were
killed, the natives beheaGing their victims
On April II it was announced that joint
high commission had been appointed by the
three interested parties to the treaty. to
sion consisted of Judge Bartlett Tripp of
South Dakota, representing the United
States;
C. NJ E. Eliot, second secretary of the
British embassy at Washington, represent
ing Great Britain;
Baron Speckt Won Sternberg. first secre-
tary of the German embassy at Washing
ton representing Germany.
The commissioners sailed from San Fran
cisco on board the American gunboat Bad
ger, April % They arrived at Apia May
-. After considerable investigation. in
which the two rival kings were heard as to
their claims, the commission decided to
recognize neither. They also demanded
that the rival kings and their followers lay
down their arms, May - being the date APP
pointed by proclamation for this to be done.
Malietoa acquiesced at once. and Mataafa,
after asking an extension of time. also sur
rendered four days later. The outcome
was that the kingship was declared tenn
porarily abolished, and a provisional gov
eminent established, consisting of the three
consus. Their decision, when upheld by
majority vote was to be valid except where
the treaty of Berlin required unanimity.
Chief Justice Chambers was requested to
remain in office, and DR.. Solf was author
lied to act municipal president of Apia.
Finally, by treaty arrangement, made
between the three signatory powers. on No
vember 8, Germany and Great Britain
agreed to retire from the Island of Tutula,
on which is the harbor of Page Page, leav-
ing it in control of the United States. In
return, Germany got the two large islands,
Opulu and Sevaii, and the smaller islands
of the group Germany coded to Great
Britain some small islands of the Micrones-
ian group, unimportant, except for few
small ports.
