PEOPLE ENTER
VIGOROUS PROTEST..
Committee to Go to Atlanta
About Railroad Rates.

From all sides are coming the most
vigorous and earnest protests against
the action of the Passenger Associa
tion in raising the railroad rates to
the State fair this year These pro.
tests do not come alone from the
people of Columbia, but many Of the
most vigorous ones have come from
people all over the State The adiu
tant generals Office began to feel the
effect of the increase yesterday when
letters came from several companies
who bad given notice that they would
be here. saying that the rates made
it doubtful if they could come The
Charleston battalion is one of the
organizations that is likely TO be kept
away if the circular stands Gen.
Floyd promptly wrote the railroad
commission an earnest letter, end
asked that the matter be taken up i'm
mediately with the several railroads
The State society, the city associa
tion and the Merchants and Manufac.
turers club have already prepared
protests President Evans of the
State society, who is also chairman
of the railroad commission, was here
yesterday lie was as,on,shed a,
the association's rates, and after
consultation he will probably go to
Atlanta on Sunday accompanied by
Gen Floyd and others representing
the business interests of the city.
Mr. Evans said yesterday that the
roads got virtually the only profits
arising from The fair, any other
profits going to the business men of
Columbia, who are the chief patrons
of the roads. and be for one felt like
saying to the roads if they wished to
injure the fair with increased rates
The society had no objection to call
It off altogether and telling the
people of the State exactly why.
This sentiment has been frequently
voiced in the past few days by men
'f more than ordinary standing and
influence The State, Oct 6.

TIE PEACE CONFERENCE AT THE HAGUE:

Der Of the Conference from the United States.

ington Brentano's.
Mr. Hollis believes. as he expresses in his
preface, that the peace conference is not
even yet properly appreciated It's initial
motive was clouded by the misappre henson
tlat 1t was primarily disarmament con-
ference. Thus when it was disclosed, early
in the proceedings as was inevitable. that
q reduction of ornaments was out of the
question, in fact could not even be dis
cussed. there very general DISPOSE
'tion on the part of the press Of Europe to
pronounce the conference failure and to
withdraw representatives from The Hague.
As a result. Mr. Hollis notes. the world was
treated to very inadequate report Of the
proceedings. some Of the accounts of what
was done and discussed at The Hague being
Inaccurate as well as fragmentary.
In consequence. he continues. and also
because the official records of the confer
ence have only lately been published~-and
not even yet In the English language-'it
may be said that hardly upon any recent
event of importance Is even the reading
public less completely informed than upon
the work actually accomplished at the
peace conference and its practical value"
Mr. Hollis believes that the conference
did. in fact. accomplish great deal. in hui
manizing warfare and codifying the laws of
war. and in promulgatng the Magma
Charta of international law the binding
together of the civilized powers in a fedora
ton of justice and the esta bShment of a
permanent international court of arbtra-
ton.
The work Is treated In both chronolosical
and in topical form Thus. chapters are ar
ranged with reference to leading subjects
such as the arbitration treaty. the laws and
customs of war, the limitation of arma-
ments, The humaniZing of war private prop
erty on the high sea and the methods of
naval warfare. while another section tells
the story of the conference day by day An
appendix contains the complete text of the
final act, the treaties and declarations of
the conference and the reports of the Amer
lean commission. The work proper con-
cludes with an account of the Grotius cell
ebration, July 4. at Delft. The index refers
comprehensively to persons and topics in a
manner to facilitate the reading of the stu
dent. The book thus prepared with evil
dence of great care. becomes valuable
text upon one of the most notable world
movements of the closing century.
