THE HAGUE july 2o.--l have seen
the American delegates ana they talk
ga freely about tine conference. but rec
fused To- make o. statement about the
results before the conference rises. The
following, however may be accepted
as "a fairy accurate summary of the
views they entertain.
The conference achieved a great sue
cess. much greater than the delegates
anticipated, and the result was aCnlev-
ed largely by the amour propre Of
capable men from al parJs OF the
world, determined to accomplish some
thing worth their assembling to-
gethcr.
The result surprised all of them. and
the magnitude OF the gains is imper-
fectly understood even by the confer
enCe.
The establishment of permanent
court of arDItrauOn on the American
principle of revision, plus the French
declaration of the duty of neutrals to
recommend disputing powers to resort
to the arbitration court, rather than
to war; represents vast progress in the
evolution of human society. The recog-
milton of the duty to represent to dis
putants the deSirability of resorting to
the arbitration court entails no obliga-
tions on the Americans inconsistent
with their traditional policy. This is
made absolutely clear by the declara-
ton signed by the American delega-
ton, read in full at the conference to-
day and entered on the records.
Mr.. Low was busily engaged today
upon the elaboration of the final act
recording the work of the conference.
Mr.. Hollis has achieved a position of
influence much greater than of many
of the first delegates, and Captain
CroZier Is much admired for his plucky
fight in support of his amendment to
the Russian resolution of the dumdum
bullet.
The relations between American and
other delegates, notably the English,
German and Russian, has been eX-
tremely friendly. The Englishmen and
Americans acted throughout almost
like joint delegation. This was due
to no arrangement or direction, but
solely because both nations found COM
mon ground of defense, common inter
ests, civilization and humanity.
The only point on which the English
delegates failed to support the Ameri-
cans was the resolution forbidding the
capture of private property at sea. To
this the English representatives were
not opposed, but British opinion being
divided, the delegates had no instruc-
tions regarding the matter and abb
stained from taking action.
After the arbitration convention is
signed, II Will probably be opened to
the adhesion of all other powers not
represented at the conference on con-
dition that no original signatory of the
convention object. This right to black
ball any power wishing to join the con-
vention was insisted upon by Italy, in
order to prevent the adhesion of the
Pope, and by England on account of
the Transvaal. 1t is hoped that all the
South American states will come in.
pf al he
American delegates that the conference
begins a new epoch and the good seed
now soWn will bear a rich harvest here
after. WILLIAM 7. STEAD.

HAS KRUGER RESIGNED.

CAPE TOWN, July 25.-Advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that President Kruger of the
South African Republic has resigned.
CAPE TOWN, July 25.-It is under
stood that President Kruger has defin-
itely abandoned the idea of resigning.
There is absolute ignorance here as to
the meaning of the momentous events
that are going forward in Pretoria. 1t
is held in certain quarters that Krue-
ger is merely an actor in a dramatic
plot that will in it's climax show the
Transvaal at an advantage over Great
Britain. 1t is also claimed that Krue-
gers actions are for mere theatrical eff
feet and that the opposition among his
own people is the enemy for whom he
is reaching.

KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS.
Progress in the Past, Prospects in the
Future.


The trustees of the Bishop estate in
their annual report, make the follow
ing remarks about the Kamehameha
schools:
During the year the work in the Agri-
cultural Department of the Boys school
under Professor T. S. Sedgewick has
been thoroughly inaugurated. The
students taking this course of instruc-
ton are enthusiastic, and the trustees
believed that knowledge impaired in
this department will be of the greatest
benefit.
Believing that a practical knowledge
of nursing and care of the sick would
be of benefit to the students of the
Girls school the trustees upon the be-
ginning of the next term will add to the
trained nurse to give instruction along
such lines in connection with other
duties.
An addition is being made to the
main building of the Girls school to
give increased bathing and dormitory
facilities.
Extensive Improvements have been
carried on during the year upon the
grounds surrounding the several schools
at a considerable expense.
Plans looking towards the putting in
Of complete new water system for
the various uses of the schools and
grounds connected herewith are being
perfected.
In the matter of attendance the sew
eral schools are filed to their utmost
capacity.

Persons troubled with diarrhoea will
