FOR PEACE CONFERENCE.
President to Send Invitation to Powers
 Within Two Days.

Washington, Oct. 21.-In the course of two days the president will dispatch formal invitations to the powers to name delegates to the proposed new peace conference to be held at The Hague. The powers are invited to sug- gest a date or dates for the meeting of the conference. Secretary Hay submit ted draft of the invitation to the cab inet to-day. Notice of his intention to issue this call was given by the president several weeks ago, upon the occasion of the visit to the White house of the dele gates of the nterparliamentary union, and the formal invitation has been in course of preparation ever since. There was no hesitation on the part of the president in naming The Hague in the invitation; hence, of course, it is as stunned that the government of the Netherlands was first consulted. The date of the meeting was left open, be- cause it is stated that any one of the powers has as much right to suggest a date as the United States. Conse- quently there must be considerable cor respondence on this subject before an agreement is reached. It is not ex- pected that the conference will meet during. the continuace of the present war, unless this should continue indefl- fnitely.
 It cannot be learned that any consid- eration has yet been given to the per sonnel of the delegation which will rep- resent the United States at the con- Igress.

ASKSSSO, ,OOOAPPROPRlAfION.
E. c. BUSHHELL,S ESTIMATE FOR
 SPEEDWAY.

No Authorized Amounts Giyen-scnti-
 ment Unanimous at Public Hearing
 in Favor of PIan-Expected That As-
 sociation VIII Raise Over s5,oOO---
 Speedway Necessary Adjunct to
 Park. ..--- ..
 The petition of the New Haven Driv- ing club for an appropriation from the city for the construction of a public speedway at the base of East Rock came up for a public hearing last even ing before the special committee from the board of aldermen, headed by Al derman Montgomery Quite number of interested citizens appeared in the aldermanic chamber at the calling of the meeting.
 After the reading of the petition MT. Montgomery called attention to the fact that the amounts of money rep- resenting the cost of land to be ac- quired, the cost of the speedway and of the money which the club expected to raise were not filled out in the pe- tition, and suggested that perhaps some of those appearing in favor of the petition could give some idea of tho figures.
 MT. F. c. Bushnell was the leading advocate of the plan. He stated that he supposed the matter would ultl- mately have to receive the sanction of the park commissioners, and he said that they were in full accord with the scheme. He remarked that almost .ev- cry city of the size of New Haven had a public speedway. A speedway bene- ficiaI to the city is what is asked for. Mir. Bushnell especially emphasized the statement that the club was not. ask ing anything for a selfish motive. While he was not authorized, as he said, to name any sums. his own per- sonal idea was that the city appropri- ation should be not less than s30,000. Five thousand dollars or more addi- tionaI was his estimate of the sum which would be raised by the club and by private subscription.
 He said that at least 100 feet of land was wanted for the track and when Alderman Montgomery asked him if eigthy would not be enough he was emphatic in the opinion that it must be 100, or that nothing should be done about the matter.
 Charles H. Downs, ex-superintendent at Peck Brothers, expressed the opin- ion that the speedway was ia necessa- " adjunct to the park
 1 Abner Hendee, the Broadway grain dealer, and F. Bishop spoke in favor of thi idea.
 Thereupon Mir. Bushnell suggested a rising vote to show how many of those present were favorable to the petition and how many opposed, The sentiment in favor of the plan was unanimous.
 At the conclusion of the public hear ing the committee met in executive session.

 lst. Petersburg, Oct. 22.-2 a. m.-The
 val armies of Russia and Japan en-
 enched short distance from each ther south of the Shakhe river are reed to continue inactivity until the
 he weather now prevailing dries the bdden ground and the tired warriors re sufficiently rested to resum oper-
 ions. A dispatch from Mukden to Ae Associated Press reports that the
 ussians yesterday confined themselves a bombardment of Shakhe station 'ld the adjoining village of Lamatung,
 e Japanese feebly responding. This ews clears up an interesting point and tlows that Shakhe station is not held g the Russians.
 Russian correspondents report that bme regiments of the Fifth Siberian brps have been engaged in slight skir- Rishes on the advance line the past few Ays. The fact that sthe First and Iifth Siberian were the only corps Etherto unnentioned in reports of the ghting on October 19 shows that Gen fal Kuropatkin has sent the reserves b the trenches, giving other much tired brps a thorough rest. Meanwhile the ossacks are raiding the Japanese hes.
 lit has been developed that after the Sone Tree Hill rout the Japanese were. nable to remove a number of cannon
 addition to those left on the hill, and .hich remained midway between the sussian and Japanese trenches. As hey lay, these guns were so exposed the fire from both sides that it was Impossible for either Russians or Jap- hese to get possession of them during hylight and repeated attempted have ben made, both by Russians and Jap- lnese, to secure the guns under cover darkness Up to the present time |ossack detachrnents have succeeded
 securing three of the guns. The exterity of the Cossacks in this sort f work was repeatedly illustrated dur Ag the Russian army fnanoeuvres. On he occasion they abstracted the artil- Try harness, completely disabling all he batteries of their rival eombatants.
 more famous occasion was four years lgo when General Kuropatkin conn landed the southern army marching fom Moscow against the northern fny commanded by Grand Duke Ser Jus. Kuropatkin's Cossack leader 9ienriichs, surrounded the hut in which 'ergius' chief of staff, Soboleff, now bmnanding the Sixth Russian corps, nd his subordinates were asleep and luietly went off with their dispatches nd maps.
