ADJOURNMENT DELAYED.
The Pence Conference VIII Probably
BE In Session Until the Mid
die of July.

The Hague, June Is. - 1t is now ex'
pected that the peace conference will
not adjourn before the middle of July,
as it is thought the labors of the dele
gates will not be finished before that
time, and there is the additional ques-
tion of the acceptance by the powers
of the decisions adopted by the confer
ence.
The delegates who desire to see tan
gible results accomplished by the con-
ference recognize that if the members
are contented with simply transmit
ting the decisions to their respective
governments. the work of the dele
gates will simply be pigeon-holed in
the various chancelleries of Europe and
will not be executed. Therefore, the del
egates have resolved to adjourn their
sittings as soon as their work is com
pleted, and to submit the result to their
respective governments with the re-
quest that the delegates be empowered
to sign a definite document IT is ex-
pected the governments will keep track
of the progress of the work, and that
they will require about ten days for de-
liberation on their final decision, which
will bring their final adjournment in
the middle of July.
The refusal of Great Britain to ac-
cept the stipulations of the Brussels
conference if they are made definite
will not prevent other powers from
pledging themselves to action in the
matter. There is no doubt the Brus-
sells conference subcommittee will
reach a practical result. but it is pos
sible some powers, while reserving the
right to apply the new stipulations
when necessary, may not consent to
bind themselves forthwith.

drafts as the first spring clean up.
Skagway, Alaska, June 10, via Seat
tie, June IA large amount of gold
dust and nuggets was landed at White
Horse Rapids on June 0, from the first
three steamers to reach that point
from Dawson City. Over one ton of
it was officially checked off by the
officers at White Horse when making
the transfer from steamer to steamer.
The remainder was divided in pack
ages ranging from 10 to rs pounds,
carried by more than 300 passengers
of the three boats. They were in all
sorts of odd packages and made no at
tempt at concealment.
The gold is brought out largely by
merchants, with only a few miners
who have been in the Klondike all
the way from a year to three years.
Only about half of it is from the win

said, will prove to be the richest claim
in the Klondille. Mr.. Peacock OF Que

TO HONOR OLD GLORY.
American Flag Association Holds Its
Annual Session In New
York City.

New York, j une 15.-The American
Flag association held its annual meet
ing Wednesday. This society, formed
about three years ago, is composed of
flag committees appointed by various
organizations throughout the country,
associated for united work for the pres
ervation of the flag from desecration.
The annual report of the president, Col.
Ralph f. Prime, showed that material
progress had been made during the past
year in the direction of the objects of
the association, and that now nine
states had laws forbidding the desecra
ton of the flag. Among the states
which have taken protective action
during the past year is New York, the
net of whose Legislature in passing and
of Gov. Roosevelt in signing the pro-
hibitory statute was highly commend
ed. The following officers were elected
for the coming year:

BLAMES THE TARIFF.

of Trusts.

Washington, June 15.-Ilenry o.
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining company, was examined
by the Industrial commission Wedncs-
day in connection with its investga-
ton of trusts. His testimony related
almost wholly to the sugar industry,
and he opened with vigorous attack
upon the customs tariff, which he de-
clared was the mother of all trusts" ="
becoming such by providing "inordi-
nate protection to manufactured arti-
cles." This attack was made in writ
ten statement which the witness had
prepared before making his appearance
before the committee, and which he
read in a ringing voice.

SETTLED AT LAST.
Ambassador Chuntc Receives Satis-
factory Temporary Arrange
meut of Alaskan tnuir.

London, June 15.-Ihe United States
ambassador here, Joseph II. Choate has
Just received from the foreign office
communication on the Alaska question
which, it is understood, is a satisfac-
tory temporary arrangement of the af-
fair.
The officials of the foreign office,
while unwilling to discuss the details,
assure the press that the Alaska diff
culties are practically smoothed over
until the meeting of the high commits
sion in August.
Washington, June 15.-Though graft
fed to learn that Lord Salisbury and
Ambassador Choate have succeeded, as
reported from London, in arranging a
modus vivendi relative to the Alaskan
boundary line, the state department
had no official confirmation of the re-
port up to the close of business Wednes-
day. The British embassy also was
without information on the subject
from any official source, but there is no
disposition to dscredit the report, as
it is realized that the issues between
the parties had narrowed to almost in
significant proportions, and it was be
lieved to be a matter of only a few days
The point of interest in the matter is
that any modus that is signed by the
United States ambassador will leave
the whole of the Lynn canal within the
United States lines.

Racoor. June l5.-Gen. Lawton, with
a troop of cavalry, advanced Wednesday
morning and entered Bacoor, finding
the town deserted. 1t had been badly
wrecked by the bombardment of the
warships Tuesday. Two smooth-bore
cannon and a quantity of ammunition
were found concealed in the town.
A Spanish prisoner who had been left
behind said that the insurgents had re-
treated to linus in a fearfully demor-
allied condition. They brought back
from the battlefield Tuesday many dead
bodies and several hundred wounded.
The officers could not rally their com
mands, which had been reduced to
frightened mobs by their defeat.
The forces of Gen. Lawton have all
moved up to Bacoor, with the exception
of the rear guard, which remains at Las
Pinas.
Manila, June 15.-Filipinos retreated
southwark after Tuesdays engagement
to the strongly-fortitied town of linus.
The shelling of the American warships
drove the rebels from Bacoor, so the
Americans control several more miles
of coast. The next battle will probably
be fought at linus. The American
troops will soon control the coast to
Cavite.
The American officers estimate that
100 insurgents were killed and that 300
were wounded during the engagement.
Gen. Lawton, with his staff and a
troop of the Fourth cavalry, started to
ascertain the nature of the insurgents
position. He rode five miles along the
coast to BacoOr without discovering the
enemy. He found the town full of white
flags, but there were no soldiers there.
The women and children, who had fled
to the woods during the bombardment,
were camping in the ruins Of their
homes. The shells had almost knocked
the town to pieces. The big church was
wrecked and many buildings were
ruined. Even the trees and shrubbery
were torn as by haiIstorm. Several
hundred women and children came into
the American lines for refuge and the
road from Bacoor was covered all day
long with professions of them on foot
and in carts, driving animals and carry
jng goods on their heads. The appear
ance of the battlefield testified to the
