THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Important Action Is Taken at FRI
days Session of the Belly at
The Hague.

The Hague, July 22.-Baron De Staal
presided at the plenary session of the
international peace congress Friday, to
place the final seal upon the lahors of
the first committee. The first point of
NJ. Karnebeck's report dealing with pro-
hibition of dropping explosives from
balloons was unanimously agreed to.
The second point, prohibition of the
use of asphyNiating projectiles, was
agreed to by all except the United
States and Great Britain, whose Austen
ton nullifies the agreement of the
others.
The third point, which relates to ex-
banding bullets, occupied the ior
part of the sitting, owing to the ques-
ton of the dumdum bullet used by the
British army. Sir Julian Pauncefote ex-
pressed regret that the plenary session
had been so suddenly summoned, as the
British government had intended to
make statement regarding the dunn
dunn bullet. The conference agreed to
leave the minutes of the session open
for the insertion of the British state
ment.
Mr.. Andrew D. White, the head of the
United States delegation, then made an
important speech in opposition to pro-
hibition of such bullets as the dunn
dunn. Mr.. Whites arguments made a
great impression upon the delegates,
especially when he explained that the
adoption of the proposal, as submitted,

ed, and which would attain the same
end as the dumdum. but in a more cruel
manner. The new missile, Mr. White
said. was outside the specific definitions
of the present proposal.
Capt. Crozier. the military member of
the United States delegation, proposed
as substitute the following:
THE use of bullets should be prohibit ed
which inffict unnecessarily cruel wounds.
such as explosive bullets, and in general
every kind of bullet exceeding the limits
necessary to put man immedia tely hors
de combat"
long discussion ensued as to wheth-
er vote should be taken upon the
original proposal of Capt Crozier's.
The latter was finally chosen to be
voted upon. Sir Julian Pauncefote an
nounced that he would accept Capt.
Crozier's proposal, but it was rejected
by vote of II to s. NJ. Van Karne-
beck's version was then adopted, Great
Britain and the United States alone yot-
ing against it and the Portuguese del
egates abstaining from voting.
The laborS of the conference are now
concluded, with the exception of the
work before the arbitration committee.

Chicago, July 19.-William A. S. Ora

A Suicide.

in the construction department of the
Northwestern Telephone company,
shot himself and several hours later
his body was found in the woods on
the southwest shore of Lake Harriet,
about ten yards from the boulevard,
and some 500 feet back from the shore.
3S-calibre revolver was found by his
side and bullet hole just below his
heart explained his death. When
found there was nothing which re-
vealed his identity. An old newspaper
was found in his pocket with fare
well note written on the margin. His
identity was not established, however,
until Mrs Emma L. Hanna called at
the morgue and recognized the re-
mains, Hinnant having boarded at her
house since October last.

State Fair Notes.

]. D. Gillispie of Morris has been Sc
lected as assistant to Secretary Randall
during the fair. Mr.. Gillispie has
served satisfactorily in that capacity
before and is we'll known to exhibitors
In the horse department, r. A. Stone
has been selected as clerk of the course
and ID. K. Stacy as assistant in the
speed department. Both these are re-
appointments fairly earned at previous
fairs.
c. c. Lyford, OF Minneapolis, has
been designated as official veterinarian
of the fair, and will have an office in
the building with the superintendent
of live stock departments. 1t will be
his duty to determine whether animals
offered for exhibition are sound, or
otherwise, and he will also be within
call in case the service of veterinarian
is needed.
Those interested in creamery, dairy
or print butter should note that eX-
hibitors get an increase in pro rata
premiums quite worth struggling for
this year. from the fact that all entry
fees in the dairy department are to be
added to the sum to be pro rated among
exhibitors. This amounts to a large
increase in these premiums, and makes
it certain that the exhibit will be
larger than ever before.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

The hot weather early in the week
was followed by general rain the 18th
and widely scattered showers in south
ern "a antics since then. In the mid
die west small area seems to have
had very little rain. South of the CEN
ter of the state the rains were locally
heavy, and south of the Minnesota val
ley, and eastward from Blue Earth and
Faribault counties, the rains are said
to have been very heavy, and accom-
panied by high winds, so that the
small grains were laid fiat on the
ground over large areas, and in some
cases without the probability of their
rising sufficiently to fill well. In
northern counties the early sown
spring wheat is much better than the
later sown. The heat, moisture, lack
of wind have been more favorable for
the growth of rust than in previous
weeks, and reports of some rust come
from nearly every direction. Notwith-
standing these drawbacks. the condi-
ton of. wheat in most of the state is
still very promising. Winter wheat is
being cut in southeastern counties.
