CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Times. Her
aid has been asking members or the
Democratic national committee whn,
should be their party's battle cry in
19oo-whcther free silver'' or down
with the trusts" or both. .s n
y To-day the Times Herald publishes
the answers Of those that have been re.
,ccivcd. While only one OF the replies
of these Democratic leaders, the repre-
sentative for Maine. the home state OF
Mr.. Brynn's running mate In 1896.
says: ''Drop free silver" they are nil
but unanimous in giving the trust
question 4 prominence It has never
had In the platform Of their own or any
other party. With one exception, ali
who spoke freely suggested that some
other issue will divide the stage equal
ly with free silver.
q Some say ''mititarism" or HrperIal-
ISM" will be one OF the prominent is
sues. Others. a few, frankly emphasize
the trust question as the big thing.
Still others speak for a twin battle
cry.
One committeeman says fatty: "The
issues of 1896 should be the issues Of
1900. This one Is Alexander Troup, of
Connecticut.
Half dozen of the committeeman
are either non-committal or refuse to

MISSISSIPPI FIGHT STILL ON,
ALLEN is NOT YET OUT OF THE
RING.
McLnurin Hns the Best of IL, But NAY
Get GrOggy i'm the Next
Few Days.
Especial to The Post

Jackson, Miss. July lit looks very
much like the senatorial race will be
practically over by the end of the pres
ent month OF the counties that have
ordered primaries a few will hold them
in August, but most of the primaries VIII
have been held by the date named. Smith,
Webster, Prentiss, Scott, Clark, Jasper,
Clay, oktibbeha and Lowndes will be the
last to be heard from. the first holding on
August l and the latter after the State
democratic convention At the present
stage of the proceedings the odds are
clearly in favor of McLaurin, but it is
we'll to remember that there are many
counties in North Mississippi, particularly
in Aliens congressional district, which
will probably take no especial action be-
yond simple declaration of the eXecu-
tive committee, but which may now be
placed certainly within the Allen coiUnn.
In the counties ordering primaries, Allen
clearly has the worst of the race. but tho
fight is not over just yet. McLaurin
needs something like twenty four votes to
make up the ninety necessary to secure
his nomination for senator. and from now
on he will probably have a hotter hgnt
than ever before in order to secure them.
Most OF the primary counties having been
heard from, the candidates are afforded a
better opportunity to concentrate their
forces in the doubtful territory and five
or six counties might be mentioned wnere
the fight bids fair to be unusually fierce
From now on the fun will be fast and
furious until the most bitter senatorial
contest OF recent years in Mississippi has
been decided.

UNITED STATES ACCEPT
The Protocols Prepared by the Hague
Peace Conference.
REVISION IS AN ESSENTIAL PARTICULAR.
The American Delegates Insisted on
1t and They Finally Car
ried Their Point.

The Hague, July 1.-THE first commit
this morning to discuss NJ. Won Karneb 9
report on the first four points OF NJ. Mu-
ravieff's circular. Such differences OF
opinion developed that It was ultimately
decided that the report must be recast.
II now appears that the first committee
rejected the recommendation of the sub
committee that clause should be append
ed to the declaration of st. Petersburg
of 1865 prohibiting the firing of explosives
from balloons and the use OF asphyxiat,
ms bombs and explosive bullets. Many
delegates had left the room, seemingly
not knowing the question at issue.
The third, or arbitration commission,
held plenary meeting, discussing intef-
national commissions of inquiry and
adopting, with certain amendments, article
55 respecting the expense of the tribunal
The section of article 81, providing Tor
the revision of arbtral rewards, which
tho Americans had succeeded in adding TO
the original project, was the subject oil
long debate on the motion of NJ DeMartens
of the Russian delegation TO eliminate the
amendment. Messrs. Hollis and Low OF
the American delegation made long speech
es in defense of revision
MIR Hollis, whose remarks were rapidly
translated into French by NJ. Des Tour
nelles, declared that the Americans would
be unable to agree to the arbitration
scheme If revision were stricken out I'M
less they received further instructions
from Washington. This announcement
created q sensation.
Prof Assor of the Dutch delegation pre-
sented fresh draft proposal which no
vigorously supported.
Mr.. Hollis finally accepted an amend
ment providing that the disputing parties
can reserve the right Of revision by spe-
cial agreement Thus the Americans prac-
tically won their point
An adjournment was taken until We'd
nesday.
Washington, July 17.-Secretary Hay has
received all the protocols of the proceed
ings of The Hague conference. Included
among the papers is the draft of the ar
bitrat!on and mediation treaty which is
regarded as the most important action of
the conference The document. like all
of the proceedings, is in French. the diplo-
matte language always used on such occa-
sions, and translations are now being made
at the state department. AS there is oc-
cason for the utmost haste in completing
the work of the conference. our govern
ment has concluded not to depend upon
the slow going mails to communicate TO
its delegates its approval of their work,
but Will, by the cable. empower them to
sign the protocols in the name of the
United States. The treaty will of course
be required TO be submitted to the senate
for its approval.
