Of The Hague, on the 18th, the cars
birthday. VI. De Staal, Russian am
bassador to Great Britain, was made
president of the conference. President
Mckinley sent cablegram to the czar
congratulating him on the auspicious
event. An eminent member of the
congress says it is simply an act of
politeness to the czar and will yield no
practical result, simply because it can
not. The powers, he asserts, are too
disunited and watch each other too
closely to arrive at any understanding
in their programme. His prediction is
that there will be q long discussion and
then first-class burial of the cars
peace proposals.
