TO DROP AMERICAS PLAN.
The Peace Conference Favors the Brit
ish Arbitration Scheme.

Tho Peace Conference Favors tho Brit
ish Arbitration scheme.
THE HAGUE. June TO- The peace
conference entered to-day upon its
most important stage when the draft
ing committee of the third section took
up arbitration. According to for
eign delegate, the American scheme
does not seem to have obtained the
support of many of the delegates. The
Americans, it is added, have realized
this and have virtually abandoned the
idea of pressing its adoption, and
therefore it may be considered vir-
tually abandoned or, at most, it will
only furnish material for few
amendments which will be submitted
during the debate.
The Russian project is still kept
secret. M. DeStaal, head of the Rus
sian delegation, and president of the
conference, has voluntarily with
drawn all claim to priority in favor
of the Russian scheme Part of the
Russian scheme will not be pressed
and the other part will be in
corporated with the British pro-
posals in definite scheme. The
proposals of Sir Julian Pauncefote,
head of the British delegation, has
the advantage of not saddling the
powers with the expenses of perma-
nent sitting tribunal, especially as the
latter would have nothing to do during
the greater part of the year. The
adoption of the British scheme, with
notifications, is considered certain. An
appendix relating to organization in
the Russian scheme for an arbitration
tribunal, proposes that the confer
ence appoint five powers, which, when
request for arbitration is made, will
each name Judge, who will form the
tribunal

The exclusive publication in the Intel
ligencer yesterday morning Of the de-
mand made by the president and meme
bers Of the oflcial board OF the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly for
the resignation Of Secretary Thomas v.
salisbury, created a sensation In labor
circles on both sides Of the river yester-
day.
Mr.. Salisbury said yesterday after.
noon that he had been surprised ut the
large number Of his friends and ac-
Qualntanceswho had made 1t their bust
ness 70 come to him during the day and
express their confidence in his integrity
and their sympathy In this moment Of
persecution.
He also said that he would not allow
a prejudiced jury from the faction in
the trades assembly that Is prosecuting
him to pass Judgment on any charges
that may be brought against him. ON
the contrary, he win demand that he be
tried by outside parties who are known
to be dlsinterested. and he Will also de-
mand that the sessions Of this board Of
arbitration on his case be open to the
press. He is opposed to the dark LAM
tern methods that appear to have come
into vogue in the assembly Of late and
will have none of 1t in his hearing.
Afr. Salisbury will endeavos to secure
the services Of Thomas L. Lewis, the
ohio-slde labor leader. to defend him
when the hearing Is held-if one is now
desired by those who are pushing the
alleged case against the secretary Of the
assembly. This will be gan and worm
wood to the faction which recently
threw Mr.. Lewis out OF the assembly
and preferred charges against him Giat
grew out of the late street"car strike.
In fact, it is becoming apparent that
Lewis and Salisbury are a pair Of "hot
Goals" which the aforesaid faction will
find it exceedingly difticult'to handle.
