TIE HAGUE CONFERENCE.


The Hague, June 21.-The best in
formed circles here do not share the
gloomy views of the European powers
regarding the peace conference. After
a weeks adjournment the arbitration
committee met for a short time to-day,
Dr. Zorn of the German delegation and
Frederick Hollis of the United States
delegation, attending. Mr.. Hollis ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the re-
suits Of the trip he took to Berlin in
company with Dr. Zorn and the Ger
man delegates have been instructed to
take part in the deliberations Of the
arbitration committee which now will
continue brisk work pending the fnal
decision of Germany.
The disarmament committee, to which
was submitted the circular of Count
Muravieff, has considered the second.
third and fourth paragraphs on the
subcommittee, the result being G Mega
tive vote upon all three on the ground
that it would be impossible to decide
upon a satisfactory plan for checking
the continued Importance of explosive
ordnance. This will be submitted to
the committee.
Inc HrSt paragraph OF Lne clrculan
which proposes to arrest the increase
in land and sea forces and war budgets
has not yet been touched. The Rus
sians 1t is said, intend to introduce
fresh proposals and it Is not doubted
that the conference will reach important
proposals on the last four paragraphs of
the circular, supplementing the Geneva
convention and the Brussels conference
and providing for mediation and arbi-
tration.

PACED BY Il LOCOMOTIVE.
Ricyclist Murphy Makes Trial Mile In
One Minute and Five Seconds.


New York, June 21.-Bicyclist Charles
Murphy who ON June 30 will try to ride
a mile paced by a locomotive in a min
ute or less, made a trial to-day on the
board track near haywood, l.. I. He
was paced by an engine and one car. A
big crowd, including party of promi-
nent wheelmen, watched the trial. The
stretch of track on which the trial was
made Is nearly level. From rail to rail
is a pine track for a distance of two
miles. It's surface Is smooth and more
even than any cycle track ever built be-
fore. The locomotive which pulled the
single car behind which Murphy trav-
elled is the largest and fastest on the
road At the rear of the car was Wind
shield and in the center of this black
streak which Murphy guided himself by.
The rider and train began the journey
at a moderate rate of speed about three
quarters of mile above where the con-
trivance was fixed to take the time of
crossing the starting line. At each putf
of the locomotive the pace grew faster,
until as the starting line was seen to
flash from under the car 1T
was thought a minute gait was
surely reached Murphy clung be-
low the car, every nerve strain
ed and his two feet chasing around the
pedals so swiftly that only an indistinct
blur was visible His eyes were riveted
on the black line in front of him. When
the finishing line was crossed and the
+roip heoau to slackeu IN Murphy was
cheered to the echo for his display OF
nerve and grit. Murphy's time was one
minute five seconds, better by several
seconds than has ever been made before
by a cyclst paced by train.

officials are confirmed. DIR. Wilhelm
Solf has been authorized to act as pres
ident of the municipality of Apia. The
commissioners expect to leave on June
2S, but they have requested Chief Jus
tice Chambers to remain. Their re-
port recommends the abolition of the
kingship and the presidency of Apia and
the appointment of a governor with an
executive council, consisting of three
nominees of the three interested powers,
assisted by native house.
Under this scheme the governor would
have veto over general and municipal
laws, the nominees would be the de-
partmental heads; consular, diplomatic
and judicial functions would be abol-
ished, revenue would be raised by an
increase of duties and a diminution of
the poll tax; the jurisdiction of the SUI
preme court would be increase, the mu-
nicipality under the mayor and council
would be extended, and the postoffice
would be under the general government.
The British cruiser Porpoise, Captain
Sturdee, left via Fiji Islands, on June &.
Apia and the country roundabout are
resuming normal conditions. Americans
and British express satisfaction at the
decision of the commissioners Among
the Germans it is rumored that DR..
Solf will be the administrator in the
new native government.
