Invitations soon
TO Be ISSUED
FORMAL NOTICE OF NEW PEACE
CONFERENCE ABOUT TO BE
SENT TO POWERS.
LATTER REQUESTED
TO SUGGEST DATE
Draft Of the Document Submitted to
Cabinet by Secretary Hay-Meet
ing Will Be Held at The Hague,
But Probably Not Very Soon.

Washington. Oct %. - In the course
of two days the president will dispatch
formal invitations to the powers to
name delegates to the new peace confer
ence to be held at The Hague. The pow
ers are invited to suggest date or
dates for the meeting Of the conference.
Secretary Hay submitted draft of the
invitation to the cabinet Friday.
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 delegates
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 presi-
dent in naming The Hague in the invi-
tatiOn, hence OF course it is assumed the
government of the Netherlands was first
consulted.
The date Of the meeting was left open,
because it is stated that any one of the
powers has as much right to suggest a
date as the United States. Consequently
there must be considerable correspond
ence on this subject before an agreement
is reached. 1t is not expected that the
conference will meet during the contin-
uance of the present war, unless this
should continue indefinitely 1t cannot
be learned that any consideration has
yet been given to the personnel of the
delegation which will represent the
United States at the congress.

colonies and the general remained on

Entire Force Wounded.
Mukden, Oct. %. - Every man of the
200 Cossacks commanded by Can't Tour
genieff, who on Tuesday night recon-
noitered the Japanese, left southwest,
ward, and who, near Sandopu, unex-
pectedly encountered gOOd-sized JAP
anese force with machine guns. was
wounded, and every horse, except Capt,
homogeneous, was hit by the bullets
from the Japanese machine guns
Tourgenieff, though mortally wounded,
carried OFF one man behind his saddle.
While others managed to creep back to
camp. But, as already cabled, not one
man was killed on the field. There is
the greatest fear on the part of the Rus
sian wounded of falling into the hands
of the Japanese, the Russians being
convinced that they torture their pris-
oners.
The weather and the condition of the
roads have made extensive operations
impossible, but the roads are now dry
ing hard, which forecasts events in the
near future. The war correspondents
in the field are kept in the dark and it is
difficult to say when and how this
dreadful slaughter will end.

OF administrative extravaganza, an

particulars will be given, he said,

fell in torrents, streams oyerflowed,
the roads were converted into brooks
and made nearly impossible for pedes-
trains. Nevertheless the New JERSEY
delegations formed a procession at
the Esopus station of the West Shore
railroad and marched to Rosemount.
Reaching Judge Parker's house the
delegation surrounded the veranda
Though the rainfall had ceased the
trees were dripping and umbrellas had
to be raised. When Judge Parker
stepped from the house he was greeted
by cheers and hand-clapping.

WILL REMAIN ON ISTHMuS
AMERICAN MARINES TO BE RE-
TANNED AT SITE OF CANAL.
Panama Government Loyal, But Dis
gruntled Element Might
Cause Trouble.

Washington, Oct. %. - American ma
rines Will be retained On the lsthmus OF
Panama tor the present, prepared to meet
any emergency which may arise as the
result of the disgruntIed elements in the
new republic. This decision was reached
Thursday, and orders have been issued
for new battalion Of marines to go TO
the isthmus about November Is to re-
lieve the battalion which has been there
for a year. The new battalion will be
commanded by Lieut. Co.. Thomas n
Wood. The exact number of men in this
new battalion has not been decided en-
but it probably will be of about the same
which is to be brought home and dis
persed among the marine barracks in the
northern part of the United States
That the situation on the isthmus is
still not all that could be desired is the
news which came to Washington in a
personal letter from an official now il
Panama. While the Panama govern
ment is entirely loyal, it seems that there
are certain disgruntled elements in the
isthmus, and in view of the ease with
which revolutions are started in Central
and South America it is the official opin-
ion here that the marines should remain
there for the present
1t is hoped that the mission of Secre-
tary Taft will have far-reaching effect
in bringing all elements on the isthmus
into harmonious accord with this gov
ernments policy.
Panama, Oct. g. - The news from
Washington that Secretary of War Taft
is to come to the isthmus next month. &C.

Why does the dog hate the cat:
Scientists have been Investigating the
enmity between these animals, and
they believe that the instructive
hatred which certain beasts feel for
each other, is due to inheritance from
ancient times, when the animals met
in wild state and preyed on each
other. The enmity between cats and
dogs seems to be due more to hatred
on the part of the dog than of the
cat The latter animal apparently
hates dogs because dogs chase her,
she is cat.
