Seeks to Learn How Other Govern
ments Would Look on Summoning
of Another Meeting of The Hague
Tribunal to Consider Matters Left
in Allegiance at Former Session.
Status of NeutraIs and Rights of
BeIIigerents to Be Discussed


right and justice of the relation of SOW
eTeign states. which were then relegated
to a future conference. We're: The rights
and duties of neutrals; the inyiolability
of private property in naval warfare, and
the bombardment of ports. towns and vii
iages by a naval force. The other mat
ters mentioned in the final act take the
form of suggestions for consideration by
interested governments.
Scope of Questions
The three points mentioned cover "a
large field The first. especially. touch
ing the rights and duties of neutrals, is
of universal Importance Its rightful dis
position affects the interests and well be-
ing of all the world The neutral is some-
thing more than an .onloolser. His acts
of omission or commission may have an
nfiuence-indirect, but tangible-on a
war actually in progress; whilst, on the
other hand. he may suffer from the exi-
gencies of the belligerents. 1t is this
phase of warfare which deeply concerns
the world at large Efforts have been
made, time and again. to formulate rules
of action applicable to its more material
aspects, as iff the declarations of Paris.
Other matters closely affecting the
rights of neutrals are: The distinction 10
be made between absolute and conditional
contraband of war. and the inyiolabiiity
of the official and private correspondence
of neutrals.
As for the duties of neutrals towards
the belligeFent, the field is scarcely less
broad. One aspect deserves mention from
the prominence it has acquired during re-
cent times; namely. the treatment due te
refugee bellige!ent ships in neutral ports

John A. Johnson, Democratic candl-
date for governor, in good voice, in
superb physical form and for the first
time during the campaign willing to
declare that he is supremely confident
of election, was in the city yesterday.
After a thorough tour of the Ninth
congressional district Mr.. Johnson
came to st. Paul, ready for the first
time during the campaign to urge on
to certain victory the men who are
fighting his battle. On his previous
visits Mr.. Johnson was willing to say
that from appearances he would be
governor of the state, but yesterday
there was a confidence in his voice and
practical facts back of his assurances
when he said to Frank A. Day, chair
man of the state Democratic commit
tee:
After a week in the enemy's country
4 am able to say that there is now no
question but that I will be the next
governor of Minnesota. My confidence
is based upon what I have seen and
heard, and want my friends in Ram
sey county to feel assured that victory
is in sight. Personally, I feel absolute
ly confident of election"
Mr.. Johnson. conservative and care
full in his estimates, had just returned
from a tour of the Ninth district, where
it was expected that he might be re-
ceived eoolly. Instead the people went
to hear him, and after the meetings
remained to talk with him. Republic
ans innumerable assured him of their
support, and joined with the Democrats

RESCUE WORK STOPPED

No Bodies Recovered From Mine Ac,
cident in Colorado


TRINIDAD. Col. Oct 3o.-No bodies
have yet been taken out of the mine
at Tercio, where an explosion entomb-
ed forty-nine miners Friday, according
to statement of the coroner, who re-
turned last night and so reported to
the coroner's Office here, and are still
in the mine.
A miner was lowered down an air
shaft by rope and saw and identified
the bodies, but they were not removed.
1T was thought the bodies could be tax
en- out within an hour, but while re-
lief workers were preparing to rescue
them another slide of rock occurred,
making the progress of the rescuers
slower and more dangerous than ever.
So great was the explosion that huge

the climax of a battle" said Chairman
Day afterwards Throughout the can-
paign Mr.. Johnson has persisted in
working for success and has refused at
all times to predict that he would win.
But now he says that personally he has
made up his mind that he is to be the
next governor. The great earnestness
of the man in his effort to be able to
carry out the principles of government
in which he believes, coupled with ab-
solute confidence after a tour of a part
of the state that has been accredited a
Dunn stronghold, would Indicate that
there is no doubt of the outcome. Min
nesota is due to have a Democratic
governor for the next two years.
and as to the greatly increased
registration in st. Paul." said M. F..
Kahn, secretary of the state commit
tee, there is no reason to believe other
than that it is for the benefit of the
Democratic party. A careful analysis
of the returns Of the. -precincts shows
that the Republicans have not made
half the increases that the Democrats
have. There are exceptions, where
some active worker has brought out
the vote in his neighborhood, but there
is no question in my mind but that in
the increase the Democrats have gain
ed two where the Republicans gained
one. This means that johnson, the
Democratic candidate for governor, will
carry Ramsey county by quite a ma
jority, and that there is every indica-
ton that the entire Democratic county
ticket will be elected !"

WASHINGTON d. c.. Oct. 30-In a
circular note to the representatives of
the United States government accred-
tied to signatory powers. Secretary Hay
has carried out the presidents instruc-
tions relative to proposing a second
Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the
assembling OF The Hague conference
for the consideration of questions spe-
officially mentioned by the original CON
ference as demanding further atten-
ton. such as the rights and duties of
neutrals: the inviolability of private
property in naval warfare and the
bombardment of ports by naval force,
but goes further by practically indors-
ing the project of a general system of
arbitration treaties and the establish
ment of an international congress to
meet periodically in the interests of
peace.
The issue of the call while the pres
ent war is in progress is justified by
the fact that. the first Hague confer
ence was called before our treaty of
peace with Spain was concluded.
Would Sound Ministers
After outlining the accomplished
facts of the first conference at The
Hague, and the result of the Inter-
parliamentary union convention at the
worlds fair, by which resolutions urg-
ing further consideration of the matter
left open by The Hague conference
were adopted, he says:
The president directs that you viii
bring the foregoing considerations to the
attention of the minister for foreign af-
fairs of the government to which you are
accredited. and. in discreet conference
with him, ascertain to what extent that
government is disposed to act in the mat
ter.
Should his excelIency invite suggestion
as to the character of the questions to
be brought before the proposed second
peace conference, you may say to him
that, at this time, it would seem pre-
mature to couple the tentative invita-
tion thus extended with a categorical pro-
gIamme of subjects of discussion. 1t. is
only by comparison of views that a gem
eTaI accord can be reached as TO the
matters to be considered by the new
conference. 1t is desirable that in the
formulation of a programme the distinc-
lion should be kept clear between the
matters which belong TO the province OF
conventional as between individual gov
eInments The final act of The Hague
conference, dated July % 1889. kept this
distinction clearly in sight. Among the
broader general questions affecting the

railroad conductor, was out of the city
and Mrs. Elmer was away from home
A neighbor saw one of the men in the
rear of the Elmer home and called to
him, telling him that no one was there
He then went around the house and
was not seen again.
When Mr.. Elmer returned home yes
terday he found every indication that
burglars had ransacked the rooms
thoroughly. Every room in the house
was searched for valuables, but only an
overcoat and some articles of jewelry
were taken. On the bureau in bed

family heirlooms, including gold
watch, We're left by. the burglars.
At the home of Albert E. Hendricks
son, a motorman employed by the
street railway company, the burglars
repeated their performance. but Sc
cured more plunder. Mrs. Hendricksor
had left the house to go to grocery
store, and when she returned she could
hardly recognize the rooms of hel
home Furniture had been moved
bureaus had been emptied and beds
disturbed.
Making an examination she found
| that several checks, amountinss to $500
had been taken. and that her jewelry
including a diamond ring. was missing
The loss of the Hendrickson family is
estimated at $500.
People of st. Anthony Park who saw
the pair of heuseworkers say that one
of the men carried small valise os-
tensibly filed with soap samples. They
were both well dressed and middle
aged.
