Are Kept Busy.
DEAL in WIDE QUESTIONS
COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO FA-
CILITATE TIE WORK.
Meeting Held Yesterday Morning,

strated Good Will and Concil-
iatory Feeling of All Repre-
sentatives-First Business Session
Today.

Julian Pauncefote, head of the British
delegation, were present, resulted in an
agreement to appoint three committees
to deal with the respective groups of
questions proposed for discussion,
namely. disarmament, laws of warfare
and mediation and arbitration
| With a view of facilitating the ap-
pointment of the committees, it was
agreed that each chief delegate should
nominate of his own delegation whom
| it might be desired to appoint to the
| respective committees, so that each ma
ton should be represented upon all.
Probably the committees will meet next
Tuesday or Wednesday to organize and
to arrange their procedure.
The opinion of the majority of the
delegates seems to be that the general
scheme to be presented to the confer
ence tomorrow has been conceived in a
broad and liberal spirit; and the re-
suit of this mornings meeting of the
delegation chiefs is regarded as demon
strating the good will and conciliatori-
ness of all the delegates, as we'll as i
common desire to facilitate the labors
of the conference. Perfect harmony has
prevailed thus far regarding all ques-
tons brought forward.
At the session tomorrow NJ. De Staale
will read the replies of Emperor Mich
olas and Queen Wilhelmina to the
dispatches sent to their majesties at
the opening of the conference, after
which he will deliver an important
speech upon the work of the confer
ence, and will propose the adoption of
the general scheme arranged this
morning The various delegations met
this afternoon to assign their members
to the grand divisional committees.
Tomorrow's session and all subse-
ouent sessions will be secret.

house of commons to Zachary Malcolm,
Conservative member for the Stowmar-

asked how long the British consuls in
Spain would continue their extra work
and expenditure by acting for the
United States, and how they would be
remunerated, the parliamentary secre-
tary of the foreign office, William st.
John Broderick. said the government

expenses had been incurred.

undertook the protection of American
interests in Spain at the beginning of
the war, and would continue to protect
them so long as it was considered con-
venient by the United States govern
ment. He explained that it was the
usual practice for a belligerent govern
ment to place its interests in the hands
of a friendly power, and that in such
cases there was no question Of remu-
neration.

But One Case, and the Patient Is
Out of Danger.

Havana, May 19.-The man who was
reported to be suffering from yellow
fever is now out of danger and no new
cases of the disease have developed

majority of the employees have been
discharged from the navy-yard here,

.COLORS FOR SALT PALACE
DIRECTORS INVITE SUCCESS
TIoNs FROM THE PUBLIC.
A Combination of White, Green and
Gold Has Been Suggested-Union
Labor to Be Employed.

meeting of the directors of the Salt
Palace association was held last even
ing, at which it was decided to adopt
the best suggestion for the colors of the
association, designs to be submitted not
later than Monday next. One sugges-
ton has been offered already, the COM
bination being white, representing the
salt; emerald green, typical of the color
of the water at the Great Salt Lake,
and yellow, or gold, emblematic of the
sunsets OF course, this suggestion may
be improved upon, and those having
ideas can send them to the secretary
not later than the day fixed. Then
MessrS. Gardner, Thomas, Kletting and
Anderson will make decision as to
the adaptability.
Mr. Anderson, who was the designer
OF the beautiful floats used during the
carnival, was engaged last evening to
work under the supervision of the arch
itect as designer of the interior deco
rations. Mr.. Anderson has had much
experience in this line, and the board
considers it has made a good selection
He will enter upon the duties of his
office on Monday.
The stock has been printed, and is
all ready to be issued. The board an
nounceS that it desires all subscribers
to pay for and take the certificates as
rapidly as possible, in order that plenty
of funds may be available at any time.
A committee representing the Fede-
ration of Labor attended the meeting
last evening, and requested that where
contracts were to be let for work a
stipulation be made with the contrac-
tors that union labor shall be engaged
wherever practicable. This request wa 6
considered, and the board agreed this
should be done.
Registration of labores will doubtless
cease, beginning with today, as there
are so many on the list as to render it
unnecessary to add any more The
board will meet again next Friday
evening.
