to an Obligation to
Interfere
In Quarrels of Between the Eu-
ropean Nations, and Vice
Versa.
Work of The Hague Conference
Outlined Conventions and
Opinions.

The HAGUE, July 28.-An arrange
ment has been made on the objections
raised by the American delegates to the
peace congress to the use of the word
"duty' in Article ~ of the general act,
in way that would imply any obliga-
tion on the part Of the United States to
interfere in disputes between European
governments and vice versa. The word
"duty" is retained, but on the motion
of the American delegation, defnitive
declaration is inserted that nothing in
the arbitration convention shall impose
an obligation upon the United States to
interfere in European affairs or vice
versa. This arrangement will be pre-
sented to the plenary conference. 1t
has been decided that the various con-
ventions will remain open for signature
by the several powers until Dec. 81, 1899.

after enumerating the names and quail
ifcations of all the delegates, reads:

pended:

ties Of neutrals should be inscribed on
the programme of conference to be
held at an early date.
"The conference expresses the opin-
ion that questions relative to the type

as examined by it, should be the SUBJ

ments with view to arriving at a uni
form solution by future conference.
"The conference expresses the wish
that an early convention be called to
revise the Geneva convention.
