Such a convention could not do any

likely that the attendance will not be

The Opening Of the Peace Congress.

The peace conference at The Hague
has opened. unhappily, with some dis
agreements and ill-feeling. The repre-
sentative of the Vatican has returned
to Rome, indignant because he was not
allowed to take part. The people of
Holland are themselves showing some
anger because the representatives of
the Dutch possessions in Africa are al
so excluded from the conference. On
the very day in which the delegates
assembled there were disquieting ru-
mors in Europe with reference to an
alleged attempt of Russia to seize an
important piece of the Chinese empire,
and it has been rumored also that this
new move is in violation Of the recent
agreement between England and
Russia.
Meanwhile. the French delegates
have gone to the conference in the
knowledge that a recent speech of the
German Emperor in opening up a new
pie of France and has stirred up anew
the French threat that the lost prov
inces shall, be regained as soon as OPP
portunity offers. The Scandinavian
delegates, while at the conference. will
be watching eagerly for news of fresh
developments between Norway and
now threatened with civil war The
delegates from Austro Hungary have
left behind them a topic of dissension
which has already led to threats of the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that dual kingdom
Emperor disappears from the scene.
At this conference, also, there will be
the first official meeting between repre-
sentatives of Spain and those of the
United States, since the conference al
Paris to agree upon terms for the set
Element of the war between those two
nations. So, while the relations be-
tween the delegates personally are
likely to be of a courteous character,
those delegates know that the nations
which they represent have been for
years in a position where a slight
blunder might precipitate war.
So we'll recognized is this fact, and so
general are the expectations that a
European war may happen at almost
any time. that it is now. recognized by
all the delegates that the proposition
originally made by the Car will hard
ly receive respectful attention. The
project of the complete disarmament of
any nation is regarded as chimerical
and almost as unworthy of considera-
ton. No nation is even ready to pledge
itself to keep down its militarist ex-
penditures to any particular figure.
Even the impoverished and almost
bankrupt nations reject the Cars
well-meant original suggestion. But
there is a great field for work open to
the conference in the line of eliminat-
ing the horrors of war, of preventing
increased ornaments, and of bringing
about the establishment of a court OF
arbitration. The congress may yet
prove fruitful of great results.

The New York Herald has done
Maine an injustice on the subject Of
trusts. stating among other things that
absolutely no effort has been made to
outlaw trusts in Maine. The Port
land Advertiser promptly takes the
Herald to task for this as follows:
1T is true that we have too liberal
corporation law, under which all sorts
of schemes and enterprises may come
into the State and organize on the
payment of moderate fees into the
State treasury. But these are the
small fry. The amount of capital stock
OF any corporation is expressly limited
by law to 100000 and very few ii
any have ever awaited themselves Of
the maximum. The trusts need scores
and even hundreds Of millions in their
business. Nor is that all. By an act
of Legislature of ten years standing. it
is declared contrary to public policy
and unlawful to form or organize any
trust for the purpose OF manufactur-
ing, producing, refining or mining any
article or product which enters into
general use and consumption by the
people. Maine has sins enough to an
swer for, in chartering Jernegan
swindles and such like under an easy
corporation law, but at least they can
not lay the encouragement of trusts TO
her door. on the contrary she has out
lawed these"
