CONFERENCE At The HAGUE
Mediation and Arbitration to Be Subjects
of Discussion.
The Gar Sends Pleased AcknOxvIedG.
ment of the Message Sent Him
by the Congress.

THE HAGUE, May Cot was learned
during the day that M. De Staal placed the
question of mediation and arbitration in the
fore front during his speech before the
peace conference today. The question of
the laws of war rendering war as humane
possible by the extension Of the regula-
lions already existing was then touched
upon by the president. and he relegated the
question of the reduction of ornaments to
the third place.
The Indication modifies the order in which
the three points were placed in the circular
of the Russian minister of foreign affairs,
Count Muravieff, but it has the merit of
corresponding more closely to the views of
the delegates and it is now considered GER
tain that mediation and arbitration will
have the chief pace in the work of the
conference.
Further, the opinion is unanimous that
the American and British debates will take
the most important part in the study of this
question.
The conference decided today that all
delegates, including the technical represen-
tatiyes. are to participate in the sittings
and join in the discussions.
The date of the next sitting has not yet
been fixed. 1t depends upon the progress
which will be made by the committees.
M de Staal announced today that the
government of the Netherlands would give
an artistic fete on June IL in honor of the
conference.
Baron de Staal during the course of the
day, received the following dispatch:
The emperor begs you to be the inter
prefer to the conference of his sincere
thanks and warmest wishes.
My august master charges me to i'm
press upon your excellency how much his
majesty is touched by the telegram ad-
dressed to him.
"(Signed) MURAVIEFF"

Enthusiastic Receptions at Points in the
Shenandoah Valley,
He Visits the Building Where He
Joined the MasOns at Win
chester. Va.

WINCHESTER. Va. May 20.-As the
train passed through the historic battle
grounds of the Shenandoah valley the ride
became of Increasing interest to the Presi-
dent. Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek We're
passed and Mr.. Mckinley recalled with
great detail the various points and posi-
tons of the contending armies. At Win
chester a protracted stop was made.
The presidential party drove through the
town, and stopped at the present Masonic
Hall. about a block beyond the humble
house, now occupied barber shop, in
which the President was initiated into the
Masonic order
The many historic dwellings were pointed
out. including the headquarters of General
Washington during the revolutionary war
and General Sheridan at the time of his
raid through. this7 valley. The reception
here was most enthusiastic, crowds cheer
ing and waving hats, running along the
street beside the Presidents carriage.
Though no stop was intended until FISH
er's Hill was f,Feaehed. the people at many
stations We're given an opportunity to greet
the President- and as many hands We're
shaken as could be reached from the plat
form on the, end of the train. AT New
Market. Broadway and Mount Jackson the
stations We're crowded with people, many
waving the American flag. At the last
point huge cake was handed the Presi-
dent, with the following note attached:
The ladies and gentlemen of Mt. Jack
son gave buriesque on the old-time col
ored cake walk last night for the benefit of
the Methodist Chdfch, and they desire the
cake to go to the White House and herewith
present the same 20 to the President. and
Mrs. Mckinley.
Stanton was REACHED at an early hour

A SCENE OF OESOuATION
Awful Result of Storm on North Queens
land Coast.
Estimated That 1856 Lives Were Lost
and EiRhty-Stx Vessels
Wrecked.

VICTORIA. b. c.. May 2o.-Shortly be
fore the just-arrived steamer Niowera left
Sydney for this port the cutter Mystery
returned to Cookstown from the scene of
the recent disaster by hurricane on the
north Queensland coast, by which practi-
cally every vessel engaged in the pearl fish
cry was wrecked and much property lost
afoat and ashore. The sights that met
the eyes of the relief along the desolat tie
coast were Mortified beyond description. In
che place where a picturesque fishing VII
lage with a population of 300 had stood
neither house nor tree nor living thing was
left. The site of the little settlement looked
like new ploughed land, and the survivors
among the fishing folk had fled for safety
TO an inland town twelve miles distant.
There and further along the Goa ST
mangled bodies of men and domestic ami
mails were found. Several were rescued
with some difficulty, wedged in the branches
of trees that had defied the storm, where
they had been blown from distances as
great as a quarter of a mile. The Mys-
tery's officers and crew recovered in all
tifty-Cight bodies. of which eighteen were
identified and claimed by mourning rela-
tives. OF the remaining forty thirty-six
were natives, whose remains were given
respectable burial in one great trench.
The Mystery party found large fish and
water level, and trees and vegetation lev
eled for upward Of fifty miles along the
coast.
An official report says that eighty-six
vessels were wrecked and that 3S5 people
lost their lives.
The schooner Werfa which left Dunedin.
N. H., last September on an inter-island
trading expedition with a party of nine
teen. was wrecked, and all but one of
those who started out on her were lost.
The news Of the accident reached Sydney
just before the Miowera sailed. 1t came
in a message from the only survivor. The
message was in a bottle found at Stanwell
Park, near Helensburg, y. S. w, April 3.
1t read:
October 26, 1898.

WOULD BE GREAT ATTRACTION.
Not Deemed Practicable to Send the
Reina Mercedes Here Next Week.

The Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes.
which was sunk by the Spanish in the en-
trance to Santiago harbor, hoping to block
the channel, and was subsequently raised
sailed from Santiago May Il, and is due at
Norfolk tomorrow, although it is possible
she may be detained a day or two on ac-
count of the heavy winds which have pre-
vailed along the Atlantic coast during the
last day two.
No fear is felt in naval circles to the
safety of the vessel. She is in tow of
strong Wreckng tugs belonging to the
Chapman Wrecking Company and is con-
tidently expected to brave the storms of
the past two days.
1t has been suggested as an excellent
idea that the Mercedes be brought to
Washington in time for the peace jubilee
celebration. but the officials of the Navy
Department do not deem such thing prac-
ticable.
1t is explained that the vessel is in an
unfinished condition and will have 10 un-
dergo extensive repairs before she can be
of any service. Then again it is stated that
she will hardly reach Norfolk in time u
come to Washington before the conclusion
of the jubilee.
Norfolk is preparing to give the Spanish
prize a hearty welcome. and she Will be
escorted to her anchorage by a large pro-
cession of steamers and tugs. 1t is prob
able that she will be detained al the quar-
antine station at FiShermans Island. in
Chesapeake bay. for five days, unless the
authorities at Washington authorize her
TO go at once to the inner station off Fort
Monroe.
Even if the Mercedes were lost, which it
is sincerely hoped is not the case, the gov
eminent would suffer financial loss as
the contract for the wrecking of the yes
of Norfolk before any payment should be
made for her recovery.

ANSWER TO WIFE'S SUIT.

dant admits that the complainant and him
self lived as man and wife until November

squandered money given her for household
purposes, that she scOlded and berated him
when he demonstrated at this. until he as
serts. he was compelled to leave her: that
subsequently, upon her solicitation and
promises of reform. he returned. but it is
further alleged. Mrs. Quinan. without
cause. willfully deserted him and refused to
live with him thereafter, thereby compelling
him to give up his house and sacrifice his
furniture at great loss. -'s
The defendant also AYERS that his net in
come is only about $40 per month. out of
which he has 10 pay his living and other
necessary expenses. as well as interest upon
debts incurred. he asserts. for his wife.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK. May ao.-Today's stock
market showed lack OF public interest
and was consequently a narrow and profes-
sional one. The trading element is largely
interested in the short account and believes
prices are high enough for the present The
selling around the room now reaches pro-
portions which may make the foundation
of an early rally. There is still some inter
est manifested by commission houses, but
the buying is always on a scale and rarely
in round amounts.
In few of the specialties there 10 some
disposition to make higher prices. and
should the effort succeed the entire market
may respond sympathetically.
American sugar and Continental tobacco
are prominent in the list Of probable active
issues, but the movement in them is not
being forced upon the attention Of the
street. Considering what has been done
with the newer properties II would be some
what surprising il sugar interests should
pass over such favorable year for uu-
usual manipu alton.
The railroad list has been sold from time
10 time and all sorts of reasons have been
given for the selling. but none OF them
would have been seriously considered in a
broader market.
Selling has been continued solely because
Of a falling off i'm the demand. but unless
on a. NihtliN opens II VIII ne hlSNOHllnutu
because of the decrease in the supply.
There has been little liquidation during
the week. understanding the fact that
the market has come through the most
critical period of its career at the new price
level.
Small margins have given away to large
ones and unexpected ability to protect
holdings has been demonstrated. Many
stocks We're bought at the low level TO pro-
tect those bought higher. but many new
and semi-permaneUt purchases were also
made.
Resources have been shown to be far be
yond the ordinary and tho banking COM
munity sends out the assurances Of unim-
paired credit. The wholesale buying early
in the week was expected to go a long way
toward holding the total loans up TO recent
figures. but the weekly statement Of aver
ages shows a decrease Of 81 2i3.eo0 m the
loans by comparison with last week. Prices
are practically restored, and this without
asking new favors Of the banks. The finan-
cial and commercial community have the
assurance of further accommodations at
current rates.
The gain in lawful money is s.. 6S4 500
largely in specie. Interior shipments to
this center have resulted in a gain over
one million in legal tender holdings.
The decrease in loans reduces the in
crease in deposits To small proport ions
namely, S1tI.Gn but allows the gain i'm
lawful money to be almost wholly reflected
in the reserve, increasing the latter item
by SI.4@3.eto and bringing the total sur
plus reserve up to S}4. 'EIl. 80.
