WHAT is HOPED FOR.
william It. Stead Outlines the Prob
able Result of the Peace Farley.


NEW YORK, May ia dispatch from
William T. Stead, who is at The Hague
in the interests of the peace conference,
says:
While I cannot repeat directly any
thing the czar said to me during our in
terview few days ago, at st. Petersburg,
it is permissible to tell America that he
is in excellent spirits and full of hope for
results from the peace conference There
is no trace in st. Petersburg of the anti
American feeling, which found express
sion in the German delegate. Stengers,
pamphlet against peace. So far from re-
garding war. with the United States as
the inevitable destiny of Europe, the
czar expressed the utmost confidence that
the American delegates will stand by
those of Russia, France and England I'm
securing the establishment of some def
mite, practical system of international ar
b1tration for all disputes. The czar also
believes that the Americans will favor
recognition. of the principal of arbitra-
ton in all questions not involving national
honor and interest.
The tribunal which it is hoped will
issue; from the conference for the settle
ment of questions du droit will probably
be founded on the same principles as
those which have worked so successfully
in. the postal, telegraph and international
railway bureaus at Berne, Switzerland
That is to say, a small body of jurists and
practical men, chosen from one or more
of the minor powers, woud be authorized
to deal with such questions In the name
of and with the authority Of the powers
composing this conference
The question of mediation to be pro-
posed Is simply an extension of that
clause Of the treaty Of Paris whereby
the powers agreed, in the case of the
Turkish question, to invoke the media
tion OF other powers before fighting. By
the establishment of this principle the
powers would voluntarily refer serious
disputes to arbitration and the mediation
OF such powers as they might choose.
1T will be proposed that each power
name one of its highest court judges 10
act as permanent arbitrator, who shall
always be at the service of the other
powers when invited, thus effacing poll
tics and other influences in the selection
Of members of the court Of arbitration.
While [ cannot repeat what the czar
said to me about America, 1 may say
that he likes the United States and ad-
mires the principle of united sovereign
states conducting their affairs peacefully
without standing armies. While the
United States of Europe is still far in
the future. yet the cZars ideas are all
tending toward that. He is in earnest
about checking ornaments, and he hopes
for great beneficial results from the con-
ference. 1t is Germany which Is the
stumbling block on the question Of arma-
ments. France is thoroughly with Rus
Sia.
Russia, America, England and France
Will be able, l think, to rule the confer
ence."

TUG MEMS COMBINE.
Proposed Corporation to Control
Towing Business of the Lake.

Towing Businesss of the Lake.
CHICAGO, May 1s.-A corporation
whose backing is supposed to come from
the Rockefeller interests is said to be
negotiating to buy all the tug boats on
the lake and the good will of all the
companies operating them. The plan
Is to buy outright. and none of the pres
ent owners will own stock in the new
corporation. Pickands. Mather g. Co.,
of Cleveland, are said to be engineering
the plan. The idea is to control the
towing interests of every port from Buff
falo to Duluth and Chicago. The capital
is understood to be taken up already,
and none of 1t will be placed on the mar
ket 1t is understood the profits will
come in the great reduction in expendi-
lures in the operation of the fleet. Com
petition will find it difficult, it is ex-
pected, to exist with so much tonnage
directly in charge of sene company. Tow
ing charges will lnotsSbe advanced at any
point, but the endless tug wars which
have been SO destructive to profits in the
past will be terminated.
1t is said the new company will not
be trust, but single corporation con-
trolling all the tug lines now in business
on the lakes. The capital will be 81 Co.,
600.

Great satisfaction was expressed by
war department officials with the news
contained in the dispatch of Gen. Otis.
The belief was expressed that the end
of the insurrection was at hand. The
wisdom of refusing any terms to the
first commission and impreSsing the in

this account no doubt is expressed that

1t is not yet clear to the officials here
what concessions Aguinaldo expects to re-

full approval of the president and his
cabinet, has repeatedly declared that he
will consider nothing but the upcondi-

necessary preliminary to any negotiations
for cessation of hostilities. 1t is pos

BOSTON, May 1S.-Prominent Arme-
mans in this city are deeply interested
in the proceedings of the International

and the necessity of relief, and Mr..
Cleveland did as requested.

PHILADELPHIA GETS IT.

1t has been years since a republican
national convention has been held so
far east as Philadelphia. The city of
brotherly love lies on a direct line be-
tween north and south, but it is dar-
ing experiment to compel western dele
gates to travel 5000 miles. But the city
is in the heart Of the most densely pop
ulated strip of the country the Atlantic
seaboard, it has abundant hotel facili-
ties and a convention hall probably
without an equal in the country. Phila-
delphia is weak only as regards loca-
ton and telegraphic facilities.
The only two convention cities in the
country that answer all requirements
are Chicago and st. Louis. The latter
city was accorded the honor four years
ago. AS to Chicago, that city has be-
come too strongly identified with the
free silver movement to be in good odor
with republican managers. THE words
Chicago platform to denote a gold
basis would prove confusing. On the
whole, the choice of the republican ma
tional committee is to be commended.
Pennsylvania was the banner state in
the republican column in the last presi-
Dental election and will probably live
up to her reputation in the coming one.
The state deserves the honor.

SENATOR HOAR IS CONTENT.

There is a good deal of comment, pro
and con, just now, on the appointment
of Senator Lodge as chairman of the
Philippines committee. All sorts of
speculations are being made in Wash
ington as to what 1t means Some say
that he will be recognized as the
mouthpiece of the president in outlin-
ing the foreign policy of the country.
Others that it is slap by the adminis-
tration to Senator Hoar for his anti
imperialistic utterances, and that it
pits Lodge against Hoar. There are
those who look to see the venerable
senator from this city link horns with
his colleagues and pick up the gaunt-
let thrown down, making battle royal
that will rouse the country. if the issue
comes UP at this session. 1t is be-
lieved that President Mckinley has a
fear of opposition such as Senator Hoar
can start if he once attempts it. But
all this is mere theory, and does not
indicate anything, possibly, in the way
of truth It is more than probable
that Senator Hoar has no disposition to
perform such hard service as would be
required of him had he been appointed
chairman of the Philippines commit
tee. Senator Hoar is undoubtedly
quite content that things should be as
they are in Washington, just now.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER is, 1899.
THAYER'S SOUND VIEWS.

It is a curious fact that Mr. Thayer's s
first speech in the House should be
directed against the policy of the party
that elected him. He would doubtless
have preferred that the topic of debate
had been on some subject on which his
views were identical with those of the
rest of his party. But it was not so or
dered. The currency bill was first on the
list and Mr.. Thayer was given the op-
portunity to act according to party or
according to conscience. He did as he
had pledged himself to do previous
to election and spoke in favor
Of honest money. Next Monday he will
vote with the party across the aisle.
In so doing Mr. Thayer breaks no
pledge to his own party, who would
never have been successful in return
ing him a victor had he beer affiliated
with the George Fred Williams free sill
yer gang. Mr.. Thayer is also aware that
he owes hundreds of votes to repub-
licans. 1t will, therefore, doubtless be
q pleasure to him to discharge 81 debt
by voting for at least one straight re-
publican measure.
Mr.. Thayer's unequivocal argument
in favor of gold must have somewhat
startled the House. Republicans in con-
gress will be both surprised and graft
fed to find that Joseph H. Walker s
democratic successor is every whit as
orthodox as he on the money question.
