SALIENT
FEATURE
Of the Instructions Given To
the American Peace
Conferees
IS NOT DISARMAMENT
Bulls the Principle Of"lnter-
National Federation,"
Which Will Be Con-
tended For.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The in
structions to the American conferees
at the czar's disarmament conference
at The Hague have teen prepared by
Secretary Hay in person, and his best
efforts have been employed to make
them clear, concise, and. above all
things, American.
Disarmament will not be the salient
feature of these instructions. The
principle for which our representa-
tives " ill be asked to contend will be
international federation;" beyond
that but little is known about the in
structions, but the one principle is not
lost sight of throughout. and our con
ferees must agree to nothing that
would controvert that one great OBJ
iect,

BRYAN IN ATTENDANCE
All Sorts Of Great Questions
Will Be Settled To-
night ByDemocratic
Kickers.

NEW YORK, April 15.-According to
the statements of the committee In
charge of the arrangements for the
silver-dollar democratic dinner tonight,
the GrandCentral Palace will be crowd
ed with enthusiastic Chicago platform
adherents anxious to thus testify to
their loyalty to the silver cause and to
William j. Bryan, who Is to be the
star speaker of the occasion.
Though the menu is hardly to be
compared to that of the democratic
banquet at the Metropolitan opera
house Thursday night-the one pre-
pared at q Bowery restaurant, the
other at Delmonico' 's-vet the feasters
will doubtless find enough to satisfy
the inner man in the soup. turkey,
roast teef, potatoes and other whole
some if not dainty dishes that have
been prepared.
After the ice cream, coffee and cake,
the silver-dollar diners will be feast
ed with oratory, of which there will be
no dearth. Preceding Mr.. Bryan,
whose address on Democracy" will
come last, George Fred Williams OF
Massachusetts, will speak on TRUSTS
and Monopolies," Jerome O'Neil on
s'Our Industries" and G. h. Jones on
"The Platform of 1900"
Others who have accepted Invitations
to deliver brief addresses are ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld of Illinois, Charles A.
Towne of Minnesota and Judge Garvin
of Ohio.
New York, April l5.-The Chicago
platform democrats welcomed Bryan
today when he arrived on the Pennsyl-
vania train from the west, and with the
arrival of the silver champion the
plans of the committee on the dollar
dinner which takes place tonight are
complete.
Almost 5000 people will sit down to
dinner, which will begin at o'clock
In the balcony will be hundreds more
who will watch the diners and listen
to the speeches. The box holders will
dine at the same time in another room.

address 5000 people.

PULLMAN RATES
Reduced From Chicago To the pdCi
fiC Coast.

CHICAGO. April 15.-In order to meet
the lower charges for sleeping cars
lately put into effect between St. Paul
and Seattle by the Great Northern
road. which owns its sleepers, the Pull
man company today reduced its sleep
ing car rates between Chicago and the
Pacific coast from S15. so to S14.
The cut in the rates originated by
the Great Northern is thought to have
been caused by the proposed legisla-
tion in favor of lower sleeping car and
parlor car rates in several of the
western states.
It is thought that the reductions
already made are only the first steps in
a general reduction in Pullman tariffs,
which railroad men look upon gen
orally as being much too high and too
arbitrary.
