THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Will Not Adjourn Before the Middle
of July.


The Hague, June 14.-It is now ex-
pected that the peace conference will
not adjourn before the middle of July,
and it is thought the laborS Of the
delegates will not be finished before
that time, and there is the additional
question Of the acceptance by the
powers of the decisions adopted by the
conference. The delegates who desire
to see some tangible result accomplish
ed by the conference recognize that il
the members are contented with simply
transmitting the decisions of their re-
spective governments, the work Of the
delegates will simply be pigeon-holed,
in the various chancelories OF Europe
and will not be executed. Therefore,
the delegates have resolved to adjourn
their SittingS as soon as their work is
completed, and to submit the result TO
their respective governments with the
request that the delegates be empower
ed to sign a definite document 1t is
expected the governments will keep
trace of the progress of the work and
that they will require about ten days
for deliberation on their final decision,
which will bring the 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 prevent the other powers from
pledging themselves to act upon the
matter. There is no doubt that the
Brussels conference Subcommittee will
reach a practical result, but it is pos
sible some of the powers, while reserv-
ing the right to apply the new stipula-
tiOns when necessary, may not consent
to bind themselves forthwith.

NEW FRENCH CABINET
so lie Formed NJ. Poincare Entrusted
With the Task

Paris, June 14.-President Loubet re-
the purpose of entrusting him with
the task Of forming a new cabinet.
The interview between M. Loubet
and Poincare lasted half an hour. In
reply to the presidents request that
he form cabinet, M. Poincare de-
clared that for several years he has
kept aloof from politics and party
strife and was wholly unprepared to
accept under the present circum-
stances the responsibilities Of the pre-
miership.
M. Loubet, however, insisted, point
ing out that just for these reasons all
factions of republicans would accept
his leadership more readily, adding
that both M. Fallieres and the presi-
dent Of the chamber, M. Deschanel,
had clearly pointed him out as the
man best fitted to realize the cOncen-
tration of the republicans.
Finally M. Loubet appealed to M.
Poincare's patriotism, and the latter
thereupon consented to consult his
friends.
Although it is realized there are
great difficulties in the way Of his
success, it is the general impression
that M. Poincare is in earnest and
that he will succeed in forming a cab
met.
Later in the day it was announced
that NJ. Poincare had requested the
president to grant him until tomor-
row to form a cabinet, as he had been
unable to see certain statesmen he is
desirous of consulting.
NJ. Poincare is continuing his efforts
to form a cabinet, but meets with nu-
merous difficulties. He has been es-
pecially desirous of having NM. Bour-
geois, Krantz, and Del Casse in the
ministry M. Bourgeois declines to
abandon his mission at The Hague. M.
Del Case declines to take anything
but the foreign office portfolio, while
M. Poincare wants him at the ministry
of the interior, or the ministry Of ma
rine; and M. KrantZ raises difficulties
concerning the Dreyfus trial, pointing
out that he has discussed the matter
already with NJ. Casimir-Perie'
It is understood that several other
prominent men have refused to enter
the cabinet. These rebuffs are likely
to discourage NJ. Poincare, who is mod
est and diffident and is inclined TO
steer clear of political troubles.

Chicago, June 14.-Aceording to
General Anderson, commanding the
Department of the Lakes, the heavy,
losses of the American troops in the
recent engagement with the Philippi-
nos at Los Pinas and Bacoor, south
of Manila, were caused by the artillery
which Admiral Dewey presented to
Aguinaldo last winter. The batteries
in question, General Anderson says,
are being operated by Spanish prison
ers who have been released by Agui-
naldo with the understanding that they
enlist in tn insurgnt army.
General Anderson took the first de-
tachment of troops to the Philippines
last fall and was prominent figure in
the first negotiations with the Philip

Henry o. Havemeyer Examined I'm
Connection with Its fnvessigation of
Trusts

Washington, June N.-Mr. Henry q.
Havemeyer. president OF the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company. was ex-
amined by the industrial commission
today in connection with its investiga-
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 "an inor-
dinate protection to manufactured ar
ticleS.''
Continuing his statement, he assert
ed that tariff of 10 per cent was as
high as any tariff should be. He con-
tended that sugar is Disseminated
against in the tariff in the interest OF
the Louisiana cane growers, the beet
sugar makers and sugar growers OF
the Hawaiian islands. To these inter-
ests, he contended, the United States
contributed $4,000. 900. which was
taken annually out OF the pockets OF
the people. The protection on sugar
amounted to only isc a pound, or about
3l2 per cent. ad valorem. 1t ought TO be
twice as much.
What the sugar refining business
has paid, or is paying, represents moth
ing more than adequate return on the
capital invested he said
What congress should have done
was TO have put an internal revenue
tax in the American production of su-
gar. The representations made in
congress concerning the trust, he de-
clared, were untrue, and If il was
fact that the people suffered from
trusts they must blame the protective
tariff of which the trusts We're merely
the machinery.
The witness spoke very freely OF the
methods Of the company in preserving
and extending its business. OF the ear
lier history Of the enterprise he said
he did not fight the Harrison refinery
at Philadelphia But we had to fight
SpeckelS when he came into the field
with his enormous plant. We had to
do that or suspend our dividends. We
went into the fight and we kept il up
until we got the refinery"
Mr.. Havemeyer's statement aroused
great interest and the next three hours
were devoted to answering questions
asked him in rapid succession by men,
bers of the commission. He at first
declined to state whether the company
was making money at present, saying
that was the business Of the company,
alone, but he afterwards made an Incl
dental statement which the commits
sion construed into an admission thAk
the business was not profitable now.
The witness confessed that his COM
pany had very little regard for the
welfare of rivals in business, saying
that prestige, ability, experience and
wealth would win in the long run in
the struggle, and that trusts were an
example of the survival Of the fittest in
business.
On the question labor, Mr.. Have
meyer said the laboring element were
forced to form organizations, but that
in doing so they sacrificed much inde-
pendence and the unions had the effect
of bringing out her men down to low
level" He contended that he was a
friend OF labor and said that good men
in the empty of the trust were paid 10
per cent. more than they could get
elsewhere
