PLEA BY RUSSIANS.
Asked That Armament of Ma
tions Be Arrested.
PEACE DELEGATES URGED TO ACT.
VI. De Staal spoke and Another Russian
offered Resolution For Restricting
Armament For Five Years-Germany
Likely to Accept Arbitration.

THE HAGUE, June 24.--M. De Staal,
president of the peace conference, at a
meeting of the committee introduced
the Russian proposals looking to the ar
rest of armaments and read declara-
ton disclaiming all intention of propos-
ing q reduction of the ornaments at
present. But, he added, he was of the
opinion that if standstill could be
agreed upon, q reduction would soon
come of itself. All the powers, he ex-
planned, had conferred with the czar
relative to the immense evils of armed
peace, and he, M. De Staal, now ap-
pealed to them to devote their energies
howard the arrest of the continual in
crease in the cost of armed peace, which
he asserted cost more than tremen-
dous war.
Colonel Gilinslxy of the Russian dele
CATION moved chat the powers should
enter into an understanding for term
of say five years not to increase the eff
fective of the peace footing Of their
forces, with the exception of the colonial
troops, and not to increase the amount
OF their military budgets beyond their
present figure.
The speeches and the resolution were
ordered to be printed and circulated,
and the discussion was adjourned until
Monday,
A naval standstill resolution will be
introduced later.
The drafting committee of the arbitra
ton commission considered articles l
and of the Russian proposals. All
that was left now was the drafting OF
regulations for the boards procedure.
The information from Germany is
that Emperor William will not separate
himself from the other powers in the
arbitration question, and the German
delegates anticipate favorable decision
ON that point.
The work is now so far advanced that
the conference will probably take q
holiday after June 28, in order to allow
the delegates to refer to their respective
governments for final instructions.

AGUINALDO HAS TAKEN COMMAND.

Was Surrounded by FilIpinos.

MANILA, June 24.-Aguinaldo did not
seem 30 be satisfied with the attempt of
the insurgents to retake San Fernando
and he took command of General
Luna's army and massed the largest
rebel force yet mobilized, bringing 1000
men from the Antipolo region. Thurs
day night his men wounded two mem
bers of the Seventeenth regiment.
General MacArthur's men were con-
stantly ON the alert to repel any attacks
by the rebels, sleeping upon their arms.
The general sincerely hoped that the
Filipinos would give him another chance
for battle, for the soldiers really en-
Joy an opportunity to fight them when
they can do so without wading through
swamps to catch them Railway trains
between Manila and San Fernando were
stopped for several days while perma-
nent repairs were being made to the
bridges along the route, but Friday
traffic was resumed.
The transport Centennial, which ar.
rived here, had an exciting experience
while rounding Point Engano, on the
this port. She struck rock on Wednes-
during which time she was surrounded
by swarms of natives in cascoes, who be.
came menacing. Captain Eagle, who
commanded the transport, was COM
PEELED to throw overheard 100 tons of
supplies in order to tighten the ship
sufficiently to get her ahoat. Before
this was effected the F'ilipinos had
towed the cases ashore and were fight
ing over the spoils,
The cruiser Baltimore recently
grounded at the same point, but the
natives feared to approach her.

dated at Manila, May IL, and addressed
to Joseph Laurrman, a local merchant
said: "Two days after San Fernando
was taken our regiment had but 1870 mel

by surgeons along the line of railroad

hospital that men were ordered to th,
front whose temperature was l03 de
grees, and men from other regiment
Jared no better"

ALGER-PINGREE COMBINE.
Campaign Against McMillen to BE Anti
TrLst and Elect Senators by
Popular Vote.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Secretary of War
Alger arrived here from Detroit and
confirmed statement, made by Gov
ernor Pingree, that he would stand for
election to the United States senate.
Secretary Alger declared himself op-
posed to the trusts and heartily in favor
of the election of senators by direct vote
of the people.
81 do not believe in the concentration
of wealth." said the secretary. "Mo-
nopoly forces the middleman out of
commercial existence and the result is
disastrous to the masses of the people.
Governor Pingree stated my position
correctly when he said that L am also
opposed to the selection of United States
senators by legislative vote. Their cleo
ton by direct vote of the people will do
away with much political intriguing and
is bound to come, although it may take
years to accomplish it. Senator Bur-
rows will doubtless assist Senator Nc
MILAN in his campaign for reelection,
but shall enter the contest with all
possible strength"
DETROIT, June 24.--Governor Pingree
gave out public statement to the effect
that he had combined with Secretary
Alger in the interest of Alger's sena-
torial candidacy. General Alger will
not withdraw under any circumstances,
nor will he spend any money in the
campaign. The platform OF their cam
paign will include the features of oppo.
sirion to trusts and declaration in
favor of senatorial elections by a di-
rect vote of the people. The alliance
was made at coference held Thursday
night. at which several of the Pingree
state leaders and the general and the
governor were present.

Secretary Gage Attached No Importance

WASHINGTON, June "a. - Secretary
Gage attaches no importance to the en-
gagement at New York Of 81 900, 600 in
gold for export. ''It is Il mere incident"
he said. ut is possible that the expor-
tation of the gold which was paid to
Spain in the settlement of our treaty
obligations disturbed the equilibrium
somewhat and has necessitated some
considerable shipments to again restore
the normal conditions of exchange"
Treasury officials are Of the opinion
that the balance of trade between this
country and Europe has little or no IN
iuence upon gold shipments. 1t has
come to be a settled conviction that
large gold movements are controlled al
most entirely by the money markets at
home and abroad. The shipments at
this time are not regarded as indicating
any unfavorable conditions in this coun-

DUE TO COMPETITION.
Farmers View of Cause of Low Prices on
Products.


WASHINGTON, June 24.-Richman
Coles, a farmer of Salem county, n.
j.. was before the industrial commits
sion. He said the farmers of New Jer-
sey had no especial complaint, though
there was a general feeling that condi-
tions might be improved. Prices for
their products were generally lower.
while wages for farmhands were higher
than formerly. Within the past 20
years farms in his section had depreci-
ated in value about 80 per cent.
The depreciation in the price Of prod
ucts was not so great. He was inclined
to attribute the lower prices to competi-
ton from the west and south. He ad-
vocated a tariff on farm products, put
ting them on the same basis as the man
ufacturers. Such a policy would result
in saving to the United States the
$500, 100000 or $400, 200, 900 now sent
abroad for articles of an agricultural
nature.

A SLOW CONVENTION.
Kentucky Democrats Wrangled Third
Day, but Hoped to Accomplish Some
thing at Today's Session.


: LOUISVILLE, June 24.-For. the third
time in as many days the Democratic
state convention last night broke up in
disorder. 1t entered upon the fourth
day of its session today without having
accomplished anything more than tenn
porary organization. The report of the
committee on credentials was reached
in the order of business last night, but
its consideration was prevented by the
disturbing influence of persons who
were admitted to the floor of the con-
yention though not entitled to seats.
The Hardin people place the RESPONSE
bility for this on local sympathizers
with the Stone-Goebel combination, but
the latter candidates disclaim all
knowledge of an attempt to pack the
convention and declare the disturbance
was due to loose methods Of the ar
rangements committee. -aasaISzA IN
What influence the occurrence will
have on the chances of the candidates
can hardly be foretold, but Hardin is
most likely to profit by it. 1t was
thought the convention would get down
to work in earnest today.
During the day an attempt to adjourn
the convention by the temporary chair
man caused an uproar, the delegates re-
fuslng to leave. Bronston, Hardin
man, reached the stage and made hot
speech amid shouts of approval of the
Hardin men and hostile ones of the
Goebel-Stone people. An adjournment
was finally secured.

LOUISVILLE, June 23.-The second
day of the Democratic convention was a
blank, SO far as proceedings of record
go. Under the surface, however, it was
a busy day OF electioneering and wire.
pulling. Two short sessions were held,
one i'll the morning and one in the even.

evening to allow them to work. Last
evening, the credentials committee hay.

This was demonstrated twice in the
forcing of an II aIournnent.
The chairman and other temporary
officers, it was believed, would be re-
tanned in the permanent organization.
Last night the Hardin people were
busily working on the Stone delegates.
They were using the argument that the
Goebel followers were using the Stone
Goebel combination for purely selfish
purposes, and that they would attempt
to nominate the Kenton county leader
for governor regardless of the tacit un.
derstandin9 that Stone should receive
this prize, Stone or Goebel may be
nominated for governor. The makeup
of the remainder of the ticket will de.
pend upon the selection for governor
The platform will declare for Bryan

few ranks had passed the statue of the
queen before it was noticed that they
did not salute it.
The crowd on the streets howled their
disapproval at the neglect, which was
immediately remedied by the visitors,
after which there was nothing too good
for them in the way of cheers.
