the gigantic plot whereby employees,
with the connivance of outsiders. were
robbing the company by means Of fraudu-

The company is receiving confessions

IN exchange for nickels. The company
has been robbed of nearly 100000 in the
last year.

CONFERENCE INAUGURATED.
First Step in Project to Form Interna-
 tiOnal Parliament.

Rome, May 2S.-In the historic hall of the capitol today King Victor Elm manuel and Queen Helen, surrounded by members of the cabinet and other State dignitaries. inaugurated their in- ternational conference on agriculture
 in the presence of the diplomatic corps and 150 delegates. Minister of Agri- culturS Rava delivered the address of
 greeting to The illustrious representa-
 ttves of the civilized nations, convoked
 in a parliament of knowledge, justice
 and economic concorn in favor of the
 first and greatest of human endeavors,
 agriculture"
 The invitation of the young head of
 the Italian people. the minister said
 to this conference had been received as
 a plebiscite of faith by the nations,
 because they found that his ideal com
 prised the thoughts and desires of this
 modern age. The meeting place, he
 pointed out, could not have been better
 chosen, as, after the Vindication of her
 rights Italy stood forth in Ron1e as the
 herald of the Brotherhood of Peace;
 and the history of Italy proved that the
 Italian people. always were nation
 of agrIculture King Victor Emmanuel
 understood the needs of the agricul-
 tural world and he sought to find
 remedy for the evils now afflicting
 that world by convoking this confer ence with the view to the formation of an international institute so as to bring agriculturists into an alliance
 for their general good. His majesty had listened to a voice from distant
 America. from that great country of will and energy. addressed to him by citizen who worshipped the ideal that had made the conference possible. Da- vid Lubin, of California, who felt in his own country the spiritual breath of Franklin and of Washington. Thus, the plan which had been conceived un- der the auspices Of the great Victor Emmanuel by the sovereign intellect of his prime minister Count Cavour. who was an agriculturist before he became a statesman, was about to be brought to fruition. Minister Rava
 concluded by laying down the lines for the conduct of the institute
 The Turkish Ambassador. Rechid Bey spoke as the dean of the diplo matic corps, saying that the ideas to be discussed in the conference were numerous and fertile. He compliment | ed King Victor Emmanuel for the in itiative he had taken and thanked the people of Rome for their hospitality
 to the delegates.
 The King and Queen conVersed briefly with those present. His Majesty shook hands with Ambassador White and then with the American delegates, A. | Woods and w. F. Hall.
 l Two ideas with regard to the con l ference already have been put forth one to the effect that the outcome | should be an international institute at Rome, which would generally speak | ing, be an offiee for the collection Of

body occupied this. Night stopped the fighting and before morning the Rus sians had rteired. in haste, leaving two hundred dead. while the Japanese had eight hundred casualties The last stand of the Russians before Tiehling was on a chain of hills three thousand metres southeast of the city equipped elaborately with trenches and we'll con- structed gun positions which they held with twenty-four guns. While tn Gen. era1 of Division was reconnoitering the positions on the afternoon of the fif- teenth another Japanese brigade from the south began to engage one of the Russian batteries. This partly exposed the Russian flank to the enemy and thirty-six Japanese guns were concern trated in abombardment of that posi- tion. Darkness again interrupted the work after an hours bombardment and again the Russians retreated, abandon ing without serious resistance their most valuable depot between Mukden and Harbin. which was their strongest miI9ary position al well. General Ku- roISItkin had been there in his special train until the afternoon of tn fifteenth 1t was said. When the first Japanes company entered the settlement at one in the morning they captured the sta tion master and two other officers who had been left with orders to apply the torch at the last moment, but only few buildings were burned and there were valuable stores of munitions un- damaged.
 No more dramatic encounters oc- cured during this eventful week than the capture Cf the 5th and 18th regi- ments of Russian rifles by Kuroki's left division on the morning of the 11th. In the panic which prevailed at Mukden then these two regiments left at 8 in the morning with no general commanding them, and a mixed crowd Nof soldiers from other organizations and camp followers attaching them selves to the retreat. When the two forces discovered one another they quickly formed into fighting line and the Russian came on with the officers in front of the ranks to attempt to cut they way through. The contact was so sudden that there was. no confusion at first in which the Japanese general and his staff with two foreign attaches came under the fire of the Japanese ri- fies and guns.
