international Peace Conference at Paris
Declares That Europe Should Abandon

Paris, Oct. 6.-The International
Congress of Peace, now being held in
Paris, has passed several resolutions
concerning the policy in China.
Among the resolutions are the fol-
lowing:
That the action of the missionaries was
often intolerant; that their religious prop
agancy should not be backed up by dip
lomatic or military force; that they
should go into China at their own risks
and perils; that Europe should abandon
any religious protectorate in China; that
forcfble annexation of territory, especial
ly that held sacred by the Chinese, should
cease; that the powers should attempt
to establish a stable native government,
capable of undertaking internal reforms,
and that the open door for the honest
commerce of the world on equal terms is
the only policy which gives any guaran-
tee for the country's future peace and
stability.

HANNA's NARROW ESCAPE.
While AT Republican Meeting in Chicago
He Was the Target for a Ten-POund
Chunk of Ice.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Senator NJ A.
Hanna was the target for ten-pound
chunk of ice last night at the Thirty
first ward republican meeting at Sixty
fifth and Halstead street. The missile
was dropped through an aperture in
the tent directly over the speakers
stand. 1t did not miss Hanna's head
over two inches and had it struck him
would have knocked him down and
probably fractured his skull. The po-
lice who surrounded the speakers
stand were astounded for moment
and then made rush for the street.
The police found the place where the
ice had been placed on the sidewalk
but could get no trace of the person
who threw it. They said it was prob
ably the work of some mischievous
boy who had secured the ice from a
neighboring saloon.

NEARING a SOLUTION.
A Feeling of Buoyaas Optimism in WASH
tngtOn Over the Outlook in the
Chinese Matter.

Washington, Oct. "A feeling OF
buoyant optimism prevails among Of
icials here relative to the Chinese
troubles that warrants the belief in
the existence of a sound foundation
based on very recent developments in
pending negotiations. 1t is evidently
the conviction among officials that .
rapprochement among the powers is
near at hand. The-encouraging out
look has been brought about very
largely by the harmonious sentiments
which have developed between this
government and Germany Nncerning
the course of future events in China
Germany is understood to have
withdrawn from the position of in
sisting that the responsible authors
of the Chinese outrages be surren-
dered to the allies as a condition pre-
cedent to negotiations. In her new
note she has suggested that the min
listers in Pel1in should be empowered
to designate those whose punishment
viii be insisted upon and that the
powers determine the character of the
punishment
Meantime plans are under consider
alton by which the powers will see
that China carries out her purposes of
Furnishing the guilty parties. 1t is
felt to be proper that the punishment
shall be carried out in such public
manner, either with the knowledge of
the foreign ministers or in their pres
ence, that there can be no question
as to the completeness of China's rep
aration.
