Peculiar Conditions Under Which
Convention Was Drawn Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-There will
be no exchange Of ratifications of The
Hague treaty and owing to the pecu-3
liar conditions under which the con-
|vention was prepared all that the
United States need do to complete it's
agreement to the arrangement is to
communicate to The Hague it's final
acceptance Of the document through
the minister at The Hague. It is like
once and send it to the United States
minister at The Hague for deposit. It
lis the duty of The Hague authorities
upon the receipt of such document to
draw up what is known as the process
verbal, notifying each power party to
the treaty of it's ratification. This will
comply with the formalities necessary
upon the United States at this stage.
Within six months after the ratitica
tion of the treaty, however, it will be-
come the duty of the president to name.
four persons of well known capacity
| in questions of International law and
good character to serve as commits
sion with others appointed by the other
powers signatory to the treaty. No
provision is made in the treaty for
compensation, but the state depart
Iment will find means to defray at least
the necessary expenses. 1t is probable
that Mr. Newell, our minister to The
Hague will be named as one of the
administrative council, which resident
body will establish the international
bureau, install officers there and en-
|ploy necessary help. There will be an
|apportionment for the expenses of this

Says Whitaker Knows About Assas-
sinatiOn of GOebeI.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 9.-The authorities
expect to obtain important evidence re-
garding the assassin of Gov. G0ebel from
Sias Jones' who was arrested this morn
ing
Jones has already made a partial con-
fession. He declares that he personally
knows nothing of the crime, but says that
Harlan Whitaker who was arrested i'm
mediately after the shooting while run
ming from the executive building, from
which the shots were fired, knows a great
deal about the crime.
1t is believed that Jones gave more in
forma ton than that regarding Whitaker
and that what he told the police may lead
to further arrests in the neighborhood of
Richmond, Madison county, Kentucky.
Whitaker and Jones are cousins. The
latter says he came with the mountaineer
excursion. Both are said to have slept in
the executive building the night before
Goebel was assassinated. Jones says he
applied ID Taylor and Finley for pay
for coming here. He says this was PROM
ised him by others in advance, but they
would not settle and he could not get out

been permitted to see or talk to him. The
detectives believe this to be the most inn

have been sleeping in a vacant house only
coming out at night, and had been here
for week prior to the. assassination.
This afternoon T. c. Campbell the New
York criminal lawyer, who is assisting in
ferreung out the crime, went TO George

from Fort Myer, and then the solemn

winding avenues of the great city of the

of Is There All Right.

Quite an excitement has been created in
Berryville, Va, and vicinity by the an
nouncement that cave had been discov-
cred on the farm OF Mrs. Hattie w. Dortch
and her sister, Miss Selma Williams. This
property was formerly owned by Mr..
James t. Tyson of Baltimore, a brother
ln-Iaw of the present owners, and is about
three miles from Berryville The circum-
stances which led up to the discovery of
the cave seem almost too strange to be
true, but the prominence of the parties
who vouch for their truth leaves no room
for doubt. Mr.. Henry A. Williams, a
brother of the ladies above named, tells
the following story;
He says that some weeks ago his sister.
Mrs. Dortch, was visiting in Baltimore.
In the same house where she was stay
ing was an old blind lady. recently from
Scotland, her native country. Mrs.
Dortch was told that this old lady had al
various times foretold the discovery of
money, and one day. more from curiosity
than from any real belief in her powers
of divination, she said to her: II wish
you would tell me where 90 find a fortune
on my farm In Virginia"
For a few minutes she said nothing,
then, turning TO Mrs. Dortch, sne descfiD-
ed accurately the farm; told her that just
west of the house was an old spring: at

that If an opening was made at point
