mission will be held in the apartment

American peace commission.
The first formal meeting of the commits

The room where the tribunal will sit is

tration. Workmen have been busy all day

This morning the informal conference
adopted series of rules of procedure.
Prof. De Martens, the umpire In the dis
pute, who is professor of international law
in the University of st. Petersburg and a
prominent member of the council of the
ministry foreign affairs of Russia, as well
as a member of the Russia delegation at
The Hague, proposed the rules, to which
some amendments were made at the sug-
gestion of other members of the tribunal.
The hours of the session were fixed from
II a. m. to p. M. with an hour for lunch,
and 1t was agreed to hold five ses-
sions weekly afr Prof De Martens had
finished his work at The Hague, which he
expects will be about the end of next week.
M. Martin, an official of the French dele
cation, was elected secretary of the tri-
bunal. 1t is expected that arguments will
commence tomorrow after an inaugural ad-
dress by Prof. De Martens, Sir Richard
Webster, the British encouragement open
ing the case on behalf of Great Britain.
Several will speak, and the order of the
speaking is to be left to the council them
selves. The correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press saw De Martens this evening
and asked him regarding the delay in OPEN
ing the tribunal. He said:
az have been detained by the work at
The Hague. Ny arrival was with the con-
sent OF other members. The work begun
ah5 continued last October and postponed
at tJa Instance of the Americans will con-
tinle sir. Fuller, chief justice of the su-
preEe oourt, was obliged to attend to Off
cial daiies at home, which occupied him
until last month. l shall return to The
Hague after the first session, but shall
come back here next week. 1 expect to be
compelled to return again to The Hague
for few days, but on my return to Paris
i shall stay with the tribunal until it's
work is completed"
Questioned respecting the prospects of
peace conferences at Inc Hague, Professor
De Martens declined TO say more than that
he expected that proceedings would end by
the last of this month with distinctly prac-
tical results.

consented to consult his friends. Although
it is realized there are great difficulties IN
the way of his success. it is the general I'M
preston that if NJ. Poincare is In earnest
he will succeed in forming cabinet
Poincare's Difficulties
M. Poincare is continuing his efforts to
form a cabinet, but meets with numerous
difficulties. He has been especially desir-
Gus of having Mn. Bourgeois Krantz and
Delcasse in the ministry. Bourgeois de-
clines the mission at the Hague. NJ Del
casse declines to take anything but the
foreign office portfolio which M Poincare
wants him for minister of the interior or
the ministry of marine and M. krantz
raises difficulties concerning the Dreyfus
trial, pointing out that he has discussed
the matter with M. Casimir Perier
1t is understood that several other promi-
nent men have refused to enter the cabi-
net. These rebuffs are likely to discourage
M Poincare, who is modest and ditfident
and is inclined to steer clear of political
troubles,
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-06-15

counted in the list of the dead sent in. Four
bodies were found today, those of Mrs.
Kate Hawkins, Willy Hughes, John Prior
and Darsen. The Hawkins family. con-
sisting of Mrs. and Miss Hawkins and
three children, is wiped out with the ex-
ception of Mrs Hawkins, who is seriously
injured and recovery doubtful. Pror's
body was found today. The work of clear
ing up the town was undertaken in a sys-
tematic manner this morning, and much
progress was made. Numerous dead horses
lying around were all buried early in the
day. All the fires which had been smoul-
dering for thirty-six hours were extn-
guished and number of cellars in which
bodies were supposed to be were cleared
up. The militia kept strict guard around
the devastated district. Unless one could
show excellent cause for admission he was
refused. No one was allowed to look a
the remains but the soldiers unless they
could prove that they wished to do some
thing besides gaze at the ruins.
Supplies Coming In
+ Supplies have been coming in all day
from all directions and there is no scarcity
of anything to eat. Bedding is not too
plentiful and blankets are needed. The re-
lief committee made $500 today by selling
sandwiches and bread. Ten cents was
charged for thimbleful of coffee, and the
same amount for a very desperate sand
wich The cashier, moreover, seemed to
forget change and in numberless in
stances he worked off his sandwiches at so
cents apiece. When objections were offered
the kicker was told 1t was for the public
good and he must take his medicine. So he
went away with his sandwich and said
nothing at all. The relief from various
sources amounts to about $1,000. Enough
additional money is in sight, it is said, to
supply all immediate demands for cash.
Plans are already being formed for the re-
building of the town. A number of tents
were put up today for the visitors 1t Is
proposed to move as many as possible Of
the injured into tents and relieve the
crowded streets which are limited. The
wounded were doing well today. No more
deaths are looked for. Two thousand dol
lars was received from citizens of Min
neapolis and $4,000 from the Omaha rail-
way.

The loss of property aggregates $l5O.OOO
One hundred buildings have been COM
pletely destroyed, only six houses remain
ing intact. These comprise residences, the
school house and one church. Inc popule-
ton is in a pitiable condition. Those VINO
lost their homes are about 500, are abso-
lutely without homes and must depend on
public charity. Those who escaped with
out injury or loss of property are COM
pletely dazed. The work of relief has al
ready begun and in substantial manner.
About a hundred of the unfortunates are
housed at Blair. The latter town today
raised 5000 as a relief fund, and the Wash
ington county authorities appropriated
5000 for the relief fund. Tents were sent
out from Blair this evening, and are to be
occupied by the homeless. The Blair hre
department keeps depredators away, put
there is little left to steal. The advices
from Blair tonight state that most OF the
injured there are doing we'll. The dead
will be buried tomorrow. 1t is hoped that
in a few days the work of rebuilding Will
begin Materials are pouring in from all
quarters.

WHY THEY FAIL.
To lie Successful You Must lie Thoroughly
Equipped for the Venture.

a lot of people rush into the poultry
business without any capital or eX-
pcricncc. and the consequence is-fail-
IRE. They read of the success of
others. and imagine they can do as
well. without consn4ering for one mo-
incnt that they are not equipped for
the venture. SO many people start out
on a scale that is nothing short Of
ridiculous. We have known men to
quit jobs and start in the poultry
business with hardly enough money
on hand to pay for one months pro-
visions, expecting to make n living out
of the business from the start. TO the
amateur poultryman we have this to
say: DO not quit your job and expect
to make a living with poultry the first
year; for if you do you are certain at
the end of the year to be among those
who swear that there is nothing in
keeping chickens.
The best way to start in the poultry
business on a large scale is to start
with only a few. learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
all the good birds you can take care
of without crowding, the first year.
If, at the end of the year, you are
satisfied to go ahead, and have enough
money on hand to get everything ready
for Il larger breeding flock ,as well as
to carry you through the year for the
ne~cessaries of life. then you might
quit your job and start in.

When the great Harvey was whipped
at school for experimenting with a cat,
his teacher little thought that he had
trQunced the future %discoverer OF the

1t is possible that some of our customers
who painted their houses ten years ago
may be thinking now that it is time to
brush up their property, and this adver-
tisement is to remind them that the Chiffon
Paint is made to-day as it has always been
made, of pure Linseed Oil and Turpentine
Drier. 1t is measured by the United
States standard gallon, and it is just what
it purports to be, the best article of paint
that can possibly be. manufactured.
Most of the dealers who handled it
years ago continue its sale. They find
that it is an article of merit and it brings
them business in other lines. Other paints
may be bought cheaper, but the Chiffon in
the end is the cheapest paint of all. 1t
cannot look streaked, because the tints
are ground into the liquid paint. If you
buy a gallon you get a gallon and not part
of one. Tested by weight, measure, cover
ing properties and durability, it stands at
the head and is standard.
