PEACE CONFERENCE.
The Drafting Committee Adjourns
It's Sitting to Monday.

THE HAGUE, June 16.-The Draft
ing Committee of the arbitration trib-
unal scheme, which should have met
to-day, adjourned it's sitting to Mon
day next. The ostensible reason for
the adjournment was the absence Of
Baron de Constant of the French dele
cation, who drew up the minutes. 1T
is possible, however, that the delegates
had not received sufficient instructions
from their respective Governments to
make further progress.
The delegates do not regret this op-
portunity Of a few days more time to
deliberate. The difficulty now chiefly
consists in reconciling a scheme of the
other Powers with the view of Ger
many, but the prospect is more hopeful.
Even if no agreement should be reached,
an arbitration organization will never
theless be arranged, and will remain
open to such of the Powers not able to
sign now. In the meantime every ef-
fort will be made to meet the German
views.
The naval section committee met to-
day and received the report of Count
Soltlk. A majority Of the section Will
favor the proposition of explosives i'm
tended to spread asphyxiating gases,
and the use of rams on warships. The
question of limiting gun caliber armor
plates and the form of powder remain
undecided, pending the receipt of in
structions from the various Govern
ments. The report was submitted
first to the committee and then to the
conference.

IRON MOUNTAIN STRIKE.
All Apprehension Regarding Trou-
BILE Allayed.

RElDDING, June 16.-The strike of
40 miners at Iron Mountain has come
to a peaceful termination, and appre-
tensions regarding troubles are allayed.
The miners who congregated at Reddlng
have been leaving by scores for Mon
tana, Colorado, Idaho and other mining
localities. Considerably less than 100
remain in this vicinity.
Great surprise was caused to-day by
about fifty of the strikers, few or any
of whom are first-class miners, return
ing to Iron Mountain and going back
to work at the old wage schedule. This
may have been due either to the fact
that nearly all the leaders of the strike
have left Redding, or to the report
that the Copper Mining Company was
considering raise of wages. Others
will be put to work at the mine as fast
as they can be obtained. The Secre-
tary of the strikers committee re-
ceived a telegram to-day from John F.
Mcdonnell of Virginia. City, New, Sec
retary Of the Western Federation OF
Miners, asking that the men be got
together, and he would come to Red
ding and form a miners union. This
cannot be done at present, as not
enough miners remain here for that
purpose

SHOOTING OF WEIGH.
Faustino, the Would-be Murderer,
Under Arrest,

SAN JOSE, June 16.-A. Faustino,
who shot and probably fatally injured
Nick Welch about 1890 o'clock last
night, just as he was in the act of
retiring in his bunk on the Gorden
ranch near Alviso, was arrested this
morning by Deputy Sheriff Pelle about
half a mile south of Alviso in the road.
Mrs. Pelle was with her husband in
the buggy when the arrest was made,
and held the horse.
Faustino called at the ranch about
6 O'Clock last evening, and asked for
accommodations for the night He was
given supper, and then taken to the
bunkhouse and shown a bunk on the
floor. Welch and his co-laborer were in
the act of retiring, when the visitor
shot WEIGH. At the time the ranch
hands were talking about breaking
some young horses. Nothing was said
or done at which the visitor could have
taken offense. Welch says he never
even saw the man before.
The foreman of the ranch says that
some two or three years ago Faustino
worked there. Nothing is known of his
history lately, though he says he has
been in Sacramento until two days ago
He speaks English fiuently. Since his
arrest he has been playing crazy. He
may be insane, though the officers do
not believe. it. Some of the people at
the ranch, the hands being Slavonians,
believe the fellow meant wholesale
slaughter He fred two shots, bu.
only one took effect
There is no hope for Welch's recov-
cry, the doctor says. The ball entered
below the left nipple and ranged down,
owing to Welch's STOPPING position in
untying his shoes. Neither Welch nor
the shooter has a family

Up to this evening the effort of the
fire fighters had not been effectual in
extinguishing the flames
All of the bodies have been recovered

Prof. BENJAMIN Ide Wheeler Of Cornell
Chosen on the First Ballot.
II at Present Professor Of COM
parative Philology and Greek
at the Eastern University, But
Is Expected to Assume His
New Duties at Berkeley at Once
His Salary Fixed at Ten
Thousand Dollars a Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-The
Regents of the University of California
to-day elected as President Professor
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, at present Pro-
fessor of Comparative Philology and
Greek at Cornell. His salary had been
previously fixed at $4,000 per annum-
Fifteen Regents were present, and the
vote was as follows:
Professor Wheeler II, Professor E. n.
Valfandingham of Delaware University
/, Professor Joseph E. Stubbs of the
University of Nevada 1. and Professor
William Carey Jones Of the University
of California l. Regent Jacob B. Rein
stein, who had been mentioned for the
place, did not vote.
1t is expected that President Wheeler
will assume his new duties at once.
The Regents elected L. Dupont Syle
as Associate Professor of English, plac-
ing him on an equal footing with Pro-
fessor Charles Mills Gayley.
The special report of the Finance
Committee was taken up, the question
of the salary Of the incoming President
of the University being first considered.
Regent Foote moved that the salary
for the next year be fixed ait $4,000.
A substitute was introduced by Mr..
Rodgers. who thought that $4,000 was
the proper figure, and that this compen-
sation should be the regular salary for
the President of the University.
Regent Pardee thought the figure too
high and a spirited debate followed,
Mr. Rodgers holding that the future
of the institution depended largely upon
the ability of the head of the school,
and the salary must be large enough
to interest such a person, and that a
good man could not be secured for
less than $4,000 a. year.
Regent Kirk thought that 5000 was
enticing enough.
The Chair stated the question before
the board to be a motion by Foots to
fix the salary at $1,000; substitute by
Rodgers to fix it at $4,000 and an
fixing the salary at $S,000
The amendment to. the substitute was
voted down, and the roll call on the
Rodgers substitute was ordered This
was carried by a vote of 10 to 5.
The question was then put on the
$4,000 salary as an original motion,
and it was adopted by. the same vote
10 to 5.
The matter of imposing a registration
fee of $50 on all students was taken I'D.
and brought forth a deal of discussion,
but no other remedy being offered to
tide the university over its financial
difficulties, the motion imposing the fee
was adopted by a vote Of IL to 4.
