Nicholas II Invites Powers to
Conference at the Hague
to Discuss Peace.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 19.-Em.
peror Nicholas again appears before
the world as a promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japa-
nese war over and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified than his
majesty issues invitations to a second
peace conference at The Hague.
That the emperor has done so was
learned from a source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as to Its authenticity.
1t Is officially announced that 'the
Russian government proposes to adj
dress the foreign powers with a view
to the holding of d second peace con-
ference at The Hague" but 1t is known
that negotiations preceding this an
nouncement that the government PRO
posed to address the powers were
entered into especially with the United
States and We're conducted with the
greatest secrecy, there being not the
slightest inkling that Russia contem-
plated anything of the kind.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here, and that Russia
should plan u second conference de-
spite the steps already taken by Presi-
dent Roosevelt was also heard with
amazement. 1t is clear that the step
could not be taken by Russia without
first reaching a complete understand
ing with President Roosevelt. The
fact that President Roosevelt is re-
ported as being entirely in sympathy
with the proposal and that he is said
to believe that to the initiator of the
frst Hague conference should belong
the honor of %convoking the second and
readily and even gladly acceded to the
Russian proposal is clear proof that
the conference has already been called
and that President Roosevelt relin-
pushed his part in it to the emperor.
Russia as the power convoking the
conference will probably submit an
official programme, the other powers
submitting suggestions.
The emperor has ordered a state of
siege to be proclaimed in the town and
district of Bielostok owing to the dis
turbances there. .
At Baku serious o%utrages continue,
and many of the shops remain closed.
General Shirinkin, at Tilis, COM
mander of the troops there, has re-
ceived a telegram from the officials of
the copper works at Elizabethpol re-
questing him to send Cossacks to the
district. The district Is surrounded
by bands of Tartars and property and
the lives of the employees are in i'm
minent danger.

Morton Says Equitable will Con-
tribute No More Money to
Campaign Funds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, has stated emphatically
that in the future the Equitable will
not be a contributor to political CAM
paign funds. The same view was ex.
pressed by Senator Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, both of whom were seen after a
meeting Of the executive committee OF
the society.
Mr.. Morton was at first unwilling to
answer questions, but when he was
asked:
"Will the Equitable be a contributor
to future campaign fundsf' he answer
ed with decided emphasis;
Not hereafter" 40
Senator Depew was asked the same
question, and his reply was:
Not If l have any Influence to pre-
vent it. l am strongly against life III
surance companies being contributors
to campaign funds. l favor the Eng
lish method, which requires that not
only shall the candidate for Office state
the amount the campaign cost him. but
the campaign managers shall publish d
list showing where their contributions
come FROM
1T has been shown that the New
York Life contributed $150,000 to Re-
publican campaigns In the last three
presidential elections. Did the Equi-
table contribute as muchT Senator
Depew was asked.
He shook his head and laughed as he
answered:
