MUCH TALK, LITTLE DONE.
Long Session Yesterday of Peace Con.
Kress at The Hague

A dispatch from The Hague Yesterday
says: The drafting committee of the third
section on arbitration was In session for
three hours today, although not a single
conclusion was reached, with the excep-
uon of the acceptance of the British scheme
as the basis upon which to discuss the
establishment of tribunal of arbitration
After the session most of the members
Of the committee telegraphed to their re-
spective governments, indicating that the
discussion showed the necessity of having
their instructions amplified. 1t is under
stood that several of the delegates of the
permanence of the tribunal might be made
more effective, and then moved amend
ments In this sense.
The great powers, however, think 1t i'm
possible, it Is said, to go beyond Sir Julian
Pauncefotes proposals. Nevertheless, a de-
termined effort Is being made to secure
the institution OF a permanent tribunal
The American and Russian projects have
not been abandoned. Sir Julian Paunce-
Totes will merely be taken as the basis of
discussion, and the American delegates as
sure the correspondent Of the Associated
Press that the chief poin s in the American
and Russian proposals will be Incorporated
as amendments.
1t is rumored here that Count Nigra, head
of the Italian delegation at the peace con-
ference, will propose that the pope have a
permanent seat on the arbitration tribu-

called in the Police Court today Clerk Har-

Mr. McIntire said it was impossibIe for

"Shanty" COnnOrs Enjoys but Brief
Respite From Prison Life.

"Shanty'' Connors, who worked so hard
Thursday night to escape from the work
house, was captured last night in a saloon
near 10th and 3 streets northwest. When
he got out of the prison about 40 o'clock
yesterday morning, as published in yester-
days Star, he made for the woods across
the Eastern branch, and it is believed he
had a friend waiting for him with suit of
clothes. He did not make the change, how
ever, until he got near the District line
and there countryman found the discard
ed prison suit. The police of the ninth pre-
cinct sent out and got the clothes.
Connors made his way across the river to
Virginia and remained until about sun
down. Then a desire to return to his old
friends oVercame him, and when he got
back he went to the saloon where he was
first arrested, about a month ago. Police
men Voc and Berman, who took him into
custody that time, captured him last night
This morning he was sent back to the

The Commissioners are not to blame, Mr..
Wight declared, for failure to provide
more and better streets. He cited the fact,
in support of this, that last year the Com
missioners asked for an appropriation of
$3.50 eco for the improvement of streets, and
were allowed only about 100000 by Con-
gress. Mr.. Wight said he. was decidedly in
favor of improving the streets, for only in
this way would the various sections i'm
prove y.
The speaker went into District affairs in
detail, explaining the plans of the Commits
sioners for improved water supply, the
sewage disposal system, street lighting and
and school facilities, He gave some inside
light on the street railroad legislation of
the last session OF Congress, saying the
jealousy of two roads had blocked leg1sla-
ton that would have resulted in great bene-
fit to the suburban citizens. Mr.. Wight
said one of the great improvements of the
near future would be projected along the
river front. The Supreme Court had re-
Gently decided that this property belonged
to the United States. 1t has been placed
under the control Of the Commissioners.
Work of investigation is now going on along
the river front and when 1t is concluded a
bill will be drafted and sent to Congress-
providing for the construction of ADEQUATE
wharfage that will encourage and attract
shipping to this port.
Mr.. Wight said the citizens associations
and the Commissioners must all pull to-
gether, not selfishly. but for the benefit
of the whole city and its suburbs

Sundays tragedy at Nj. Desert Ferry.

The awful disaster at Mt. Desert
Ferry, Sunday morning, in which over
q score of human lives were lost, has
cast a gloom over the State such as
nothing has occasioned for many
years, except the loss of the Portland,
last November. In way, Sundays
tragedy sinks deeper into the hearts of
the people of the State because thou
sands of excursionists, pleasure bent,
were on the scene during the day, and
the sight of the many dead bodies and
of the suffering and grief of the survi
vors will be a vivid memory as long as
they live. The great wonder of the
whole affair seems to be that more
lives We're not lost when that slip
broke and suddenly precipitated 200
or more persons into the deep water
under the wharf. The scene that fol-
lowed, when this mass of humanity
struggled for life in that terrible trap,
beggars all description. Its like was
never before seen in Maine and we
pray it may never be seen again. The
wild panic that resulted among the
terror stricken hundreds on the wharf
was an inevitable accompaniment of
the accident, and in pleasing contrast
stands the story of the heroic rescues
performed by brave men in the water
whose wonderful presence of mind and
noble spirit of self-sacrifice alone pre-
vented the death list from being
double or quadruple its present length
1t was a perfect summer day for
excursions and from all of central,
eastern and northern Maine many
thousands of happy hearted excursion
lists had gone on the long special trains
to see the great warships at anchor at
Bar Harbor. Never did a more sad
dened sobered multitude seek their
homes at night, and in too many homes
there was that agonizing grief such as
only sudden death in the midst of
pleasures can bring. Such appalling
tragedies have happened not infre-
quently in the history of transporta-
ton in the country, but it is only when
it comes near home like this that we
realize. what it means. The rarity of
such disasters in Maine gives this one
all the more emphasis and prominence.
1t is not easy to place the blame, and
judgment must not be harsh on the
railroad company for having wharf
slip which could give way under any
load of human freight that could get
upon it, The slip had been built only
a few weeks, and it is certain that if
ii had defects no Maine Central 0ffi-
ciaI knew of the weakness. The rush
of hundreds eager to get upon the
steamer placed an enormous strain
upon the slip, which was of necessity
a movable structure without support
below. No one regrets the awful acct
dent more than the company, and if
the blame is theirs they will readily
assume the burden of expense that
will be involved.
