DELAY Of PEACE DELEGATE S
Drafting Committee Puts on Its Meet
ing and Members Meanwhile
Talk on the Curb.

THE HAGUE, June 16.-The drafting
committee for the arbitration tribunal
scheme, which should have met today, ad-
journed its sitting to Monday next. The
ostensible reason for the adjournment was
the absence of Baron Estiurnelles de Con-
slant of the French delegation who drew up
the minutes. 1t is possible however, that
the delegates had not received sufficient in
structions from their respective governments
to make further progress The delegates do
not regret the opportunity of a few more
days time to negotiate. The difficulty now
chiefly consists in reconciling a scheme of
the other powers with the views of Ger
many but the prospect.
Even il no agreement should be reached
an arbitration organization will nevertheless
be arranged, and will remain open to such
of the powers as are not able to sign now.
In the meantime every effort will be made
to meet the German view

SLOAN SMASHES A WAITER
Diminutive Jockey Breaks n Cham-

Face.

Copyright 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, June 16.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram )-Sloan was
the central figure of very unpleasant incl
dent which occurred at Ascot after racing
hours Thursday. Sloan was seated with
friends at table in a refreshment saloon
when waiter who was engaged in opening
bottle of champagne accidentally spilled
some over the Jockeys trousers. An angry
alteration followed between Sloan and the
waiter, which ended by the jockey in the
heat of the moment picking up the bottle
and either hitting the waiter with 1t, or
throwing 1t in bis face, which was terribly
cut Loud shouts of shame" arose from
the hystanders and many women are said
to have struck at Sloan with their parasols.
Sloan is said to have made compensation
to the unfortunate waiter with the result
that the latter will take no further action.
The stewards of the Jockey club would have
taken action had complaint been made to
them by the waiter, but this not being so
and the incident having occurred after rae
ing hours, when Sloan to certain extent
is not under their official control, they de-
cfded to let the matter drop.
