SWITZERLAND IN THE WAY.
Peace Conference Can Not Be Held as
Soon as Previously Expected.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The state de-
partment has been informed that the
effort to arrange a date for the reas-
sembIing of The Hague conference has
been suspended for the time being and
it is now believed to be impossible for
the second conference to meet early
next year as was once expected. The
delay does not arise from any indis-
position on the part of the great pow
ers to accept the Russian emperors
invitation, but simply because an im-
portant feature of the programme
can not be agreed upon until the gov
ernment of Switzerland has acted.
That government some time ago issued
invitations to the powers to send dele
gates to a convention to assemble at
Berne to consider. amendments to the
Red Cross convention The first
Hague conference considered some
topics appertaining to that convention
and in addition it suggested a number
of kindred topics for consideration at
the next Hague conference. Some OF
the governments invited to attend the
second conference at The Hague have
made the point that they are thus con-
fronted with the possibility of being
obliged to twice consider the same line
of subjects relating to Red cross meth
DDS, and it has been suggested that
the Swiss government Withdraw its IN
vitations to the Independent confer
ence at Berne or that Red Cross mat

HARBOR AT LONG BEACH
Construction of One to Cost s1,7OO, 900
Has Been Commenced.

Los Angeles. Cal. Dec. 1s.-The Los
Angeles Dock and Terminal company
struet a deep water harbor within the
city limits of Long Beach, yesterday
made their first effective effort in that
direction. Upon request of the harbor
company, the Salt Lake railway COM
pany removed the bridge of their switch
track across the narrow inlet which
opens into the extensive marsh where the
new harbor is to be made, to permit the
passage of a dredger to begin the deep
ening of the harbor. After the dredger
had entered and before the railroad COM
pany could replace the bridge structure
the dock and terminal company secured
a temporary injunction in the United
States court restraining the railroad
company from replacing the bridge. The
dredger then began the work of dredg-
ing the harbor.
It is the intention of the company to
build a free harbor which will accommo-
date the largest shipping vessels and be
a competing factor with the San Pedro
harbor. The cost of the work is esti-
mated at LOO 600.
Approval of the United States has been
sought and obtained and the harbor will
be finished in five years.

HE WANTS new DEAL.
Japan sprang Cold Deck on the
Emperor OF Korea.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Homer B. HUI
bert, the special messenger from the
emperor Of Korea, is in receipt of a
cablegram from Korea, in which the
emperor declares that the agreement
between Korea and Japan is null and
void because it was obtained by force.
He also declares that he Will never sign
this agreement in its present form, and
that the disturbances which attended
the outrage OF November II are like
" to occur again.
Concerning the cablegram from the
emperor of Korea, Mr.. Hurlbert said:
This is the first genuine word that
has been received from Korea giving
the real attitude of that government
toward the treacherous act OF the Jap
anese. For several weeks the emperor
was practically in confinement and
japan gave out the false statement that
an amicable agreement had been made.
ms Is now proved to be untrue. The
agreement was made under duress and
at the point Of the sword, but the en-
peror has at last succeeded in piercing
the Gordon of Japan and getting in
formation into the outer world
AS my mission to America is no
longer a secret, may add that the
emperor anticipating some such act of
bad faith on the part of Japan, tried
through me to forestall it by lodging an
appeal win GTeSlQenC Roosevelt. The
object of my coming was surmised and
the coup in Seoul was hastened, so that
it occurred on the very day of my ar
rival in Washington. The emperor felt
certain that If President Roosevelt
could be made aware of his sentiments
the American government would hest
tate and ask a few questions before
accepting Japan's statements alone. The
authorities in Washington were almost
Immediately notified that this petition
was here, but no arrangements were
made for its reception until after Jap
ans statement was accepted and acted
UPON
THE object of this cablegram is to
disavow any acquiescenee in the so
called agreement and, incidentally. to
call attention to that clause of the
treaty between America and Korea IN
which the United States definitely
promised to use its good Offices in case
Korea is oppressed or wronged. The
United States was in full treaty reIa-
tions with Korea up to the time when
upon the representations of Japan alone
and apparently without consulting
Korea, this government took the LEAD
in cutting off direct diplomatic reIa-
tfons with Korea

Other Standard Oil People Have Been

New York, Dec. 13.-Henry Woll-

yesterday that subpoenas had been

GAS INSPECTION LAW.
Test Case VIII Follow the Arrest Of
ComeyviIIe superintendent.

Independence, kan, Dec. 13.-The
drst step has been taken in what will
no doubt be "a long and stubbornly
fought legal battle. when County Gas
Inspector Seely L. Brown of Corey
vile. caused the arrest of John NJ.
Landon, superintendent of the Kansas
Natural Gas company Mr.. Brown
called at the gas Office, and before his
identity became known had very
comprehensive knowledge Of the COM
pany's ideas of the state gas inspection
law.
Later Mr. Brown was informed by
authorized representatives Of the COM
pany that it would render him every
possible assistance in his endeavor to
stop useless waste of gas. They even
assured him that no matter who
brought the information they would
make it their business at any cost to
conserve the gas wherever it was in
their power to do so. They would
consider it a friendly act on the part
of anyone to notify them of any leak
or waste. They Informed Mr.. Brown
that they had lately been spending
hundreds Of dollars shutting in leaking
wells, and would continue this policy
as a matter Of economy in their own
interests, but they emphatically and
positively refused to permit Inspector
Brown or anyone else to open ana
waste of gas for the simple purpose
of making a record twice a year of the
capacity Of the wells
Mr. LaudOn furnished bond for his
appearance. The gas company will
carry the case, If need be, to the court
of last resort, in order to test the con-
stitutionality of the law. It is not be-
Heved the law viii stand the test. The
contention is that the government new
er contemplated interfering with or
prying into private business, or causing
loss of property. The Kansas Natural
Gas company, it is claimed, is spend
ing thousands of dollars in its efforts
to conserve its supply Of gas Just as
It gets its wells shut in it objects to the
gas inspectors or a man wholly with
out knowledge or gas wells, or how to
operate or handle them, coming along
and disturbing them for several rea-
sons. In the first place the disturbance

TRIAL TRIP DELAYED
By the Fact That the Government Is
Building the Connecticut.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Because she
is being built in a government navy
yard the battleship Connecticut, now
nearing completion at New York, will
probably not have her builders trials
until after the vessel has been placed
in commission and carries a regular
navy crew. The Connecticut is a sister
ship of the Louisiana now under con-
struction by the Newport News Ship
Building and Dry Dock company and
now having her trial. The two yes
sells were authorized at the same time
and their construction is being closely
watched by the navy department so
that a report may be made to con-
gress as to the comparative time re
quired for the construction of battle
ships by the government and by pri-
vate ship yard companies. The Con-
necticut is ready for trial, there being
little appreciable difference in the de-
gree of completion of the two ships but
she will probably not be commits
stoned before April. The Louisiana
viii be commissioned also in the
spring and the time Of building will
probably be reckOned from the time
of the award Of the contracts to the
time of the commission of the Louis
lana and the trial of the Connecticut
inasmuch as both ships viii be com
nissioned as soon as possible and the
latter viii be tried as soon after com
missioning as possible.

She took a large and snowy ring of
turquoise and cheap pearls from a shelf
by the stove and held it out for my inspec-

You know that I've a11us said that

and the first thing l bought out of my
windfall was that ring. Amt it sweet
purty?" She slipped it on one of her
moist red fingers as she spoke and looked
at it admiringly.
Il don't think that anything sets off a
body's hand more than a nice ring or
two and | don't begretch the ten dollars
| paid for this. Jewelry amt bad in
vestment, for you can always pawn it
easier than most anything else. | got

"Oh, l amt spent it all l put an

the services OF Mrs. Puter IN my laundry.
The day after my return | was walking
along one of the most fashionable thor
oughfares in the city in which | live,
when | heard my name called. Looking
in the direction whence the call had come
| saw pudgy hand incased in a white
kid glove waving toward me from the
open window in the door of handsome
public carriage. At the window ap-
peared the round rosy face of Mrs. Puff
fer beaming with smiles On her head
was huge Gainsborough hat with nod
ding green plumes, and the ends of
a handsome white feather and chiffon
boa fluttered from the window as she
leaned forward. Making sort of
speaking trumpet of her hands by clasp
ing them around her mouth, she cried
out:
I'll tell you all about it next time |
see you! Shall l come Monday as
usual?"
| nodded in the affirmative, and she
drove on, waving a lace-edged handker-
chief from the window.
Naturally enough, my curiosity
prompted me to pay a visit to my
laundry soon after the arrival of Mrs.
Puffer the following Monday. She
greeted me cheerily, and said as she
wiped one of her wet hands on
her apron and then offered it to me:
Got back, amt you? Have a good
timer"
YES, I had very pleasant time in
deed"
That's good. The older l grows the
more | believe in folks gettin all the
inioynint they can out of this world.
Mebbe there's another one, and mebbe
there amt. | think there is; but that
amt no reason why a body shouldn't
injoy themselves here below You can't
make me think that the good Lord put
it into our hearts to want to injoy all the
nice things He has put into the world,
and then expects us to keep in the self
denyin' biz ness all the time not injoyin
EN-. I'm real glad the world is comm to
take reasonable view of the Lord. La!
when | was little girl | used to think He
was some one to be dreadfully afraid of,
judgin' from what the preachers used to
say about Him.
Did you ever go to one o them old
fashioned hell-fre and birthstone revival
meetings? No? Well, you've been spared
good deal. | used to get SO wrought up
and scared at 'em | imagined | saw the
old devils horns stickin' out from behind

I'm poor ignerant skeezicks of a thing,
and | amt no clear idee of what the
advanced thought is in religion; but |
know that it wants to make the Lord
the patient and lovin' and forgivin per-
son l feel sure He is, SO I'm in for it.

was fastened in the middle and was
loose at both ends.
