he was opposed TO a decision in favor
of any candidate as the result Of con-

to which of five departments Of the
government should deal with it. 1t was
finally decided by the president that the
state and navy departments should
treat the case, acting jointly, a decision
calculated greatly to simplify its hand

over night came telegram from
Admiral Goodrich at San Francisco

had caused one Of his expert officers
to make a preliminary examination Of
the Lena; that temporary repairs would
occupy six weeks time, and that new

mirals action.
Agreeable to the presidents instruc-
tions, Acting Secretary Adee, for the
state department. and Captain Pills
bury, for the navy department, had two
conferences during the day, and the
result was the preparation of instruc-
tions to Admiral Goodrich. There is
good ground to believe these instruc-
tions contemplate the allowance of
sufficient time to the Lena to make
temporary repairs.
However, there is growing belief
here that the vessel will be obliged to
intern in the end for it is altogether

far-reaching Importance, In one tAc
powers OF the world are asked to In.

In the other the nations of the world
are invited to participate In second
session Of The Hague conference, and
President Roosevelt was requested to
issue the call.
The measure looking toward inter-
vention In the far east was adroitiy
amended. originally the resolution
provided for intervention "at the proper
time" The last four words. however,
we're stricken out, on the ground that
immediate intervention was necessary.
Count Goblet d'Alviella OF Belgium was
responsible for this amendment. II
was also the Belgian senator who
brought about the insertion OF phrase
calling for Intervention Of the powers
"JoIntly and separately" and the hint
was delicately but informally thrown
out In this connection that the presI-
dent OF the United States could most
properly tender the mediation.
The proposal for the second session
of The Hague peace conference pos
sessed the most far-reaching posslbil-
tiles. II had already caused heated de-
bate In the council, and It's phraseol-
ogy was decided upon only after com
promise of wording was preponderated.
