PEACE CONFERENCE
RUSSIAN EMPEROR WANTS ALL
NATIONS AT The HAGUE.
He Wants to be the Promoter of Uni
hersal Peace-Has Sent invitations
Asking For a Secod Conference -
News Created Sensation at ST.
Petersburg-Date Not Set.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10. - Emperor
Nicholas has again appeared before
the world as a promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-J apan.
ese war over and even before the peace
treaty is ratified, than his majesty is
sued invitati ons to second peace con-
ference at The Hague.
That the emperor has done so was
learned today from source which
leaves no shadow of doubt as to its
authenticity. 1t is announced that it
is the purpose of the Russian emperor
to address the foreign powers with a
view to the holding of second peace
conference at The Hague, but it is
known that negotiations preceding this
announcement that the government
purposed to address the powers were
entered into especially with the United
States, and were conducted with the
greatest secrecy. there being not the
slightest inkling that Russia oontem-
plated anything of the kind.
The news created the greatest sur.
PAAoo hoAOt anu oudO nuSSld SuOulu pan
q second conference, despite the STEP
already taken by President Roosevelt,
was also heard with Armament. 1t is
clear that the step could not be taken
by Russian without first reaching q
complete understanding with President
Roosevelt The fact that the president
is reported as being entirely in sympa'
thy with the proposal and that he il
said to believe that to the initiator Of
the first Hague conference should be
long the honor of convoking the second
and readily and gladly acceded to tn,
Russian proposition, is clear proof tina
the conference has been called and tina
President Roosevelt relinquished hi
part in it to Emperor Nicholas.
In this connection an interesting
question arises as to how the invitation
of the lack of diplomatic relations, bu
the invitation may be delayed until sue
relations have been resumed or it ma
have been forwarded through the Uni
ted States, 1t is impossible to learn tn
proposed date of the second conference
or to gain even an approximate idea II
garding it, but it will probably not /
greatly delayed.
Russia, as the power convoking tt
conference, will probably submit 8
official program, the other powers sui
uniting suggestions.

Peace Helps American Trade.

The removal of retaliatory duties on
American imports has already proved
great stimulus to American trade in
st. Petersburg. The agents of the
American houses have wired directions
Tor the shipment of engines, pumps
and other machinery as soon as the or
der resinding the duties takes effect.
The prompt action onf the agents is
necessary III order to land goods at
Cronstad before the close of navigation.
SO as to avoid the heavy costs of rail-
road transshipment from the ice free
ports in the southern Baltic, and also
III order to take advantage of the favor
able rates under existing treaties, as
before navigation is reopened the new
est and highest scale of duties based
on the traety recently made with Ger
many will be in effect. This treaty
provides increases ranging from 10 to
70 per cent on machinery.
The result of this increase, however,
will be less prejudical to American
trade than would equivalent retalia-
tory duties, as the increases affect all
nationalities equally, and as Ameri-
cans, since the opening of the peace
negotiations and the favorable recep-
ton received by the Russian members
of the peace mission in the United
States, are rapidly regaining their old
status in commercial and industrial
centers.
The Baku disaster will indirectly
be benifit to American commerce, as
it will stimulated the trade in Ameri-
can pumps, which are largely used in
the oil district.

Washington Sugar Beets Best.

The agricultural department has just
published the report prepared by DR..
Harvey W. Wiley devoted to the pro-
duction of sugar beets, which will be
read with much pride by the people of
Washington.
For some years the agricultural de-
partment has been testing sugar beets
grown in the various states in the I'M
ion, endeavoring to secured a seed
which would increase the average
yield, After many tests and expert
ments the department finally purchased
from E. H. Morrison of Fairfield,
Wash. a comfortable quantity of seed
which have produced wonderful results
in other states.
The sugar reports states that the beets
produced on Mr.. Morrrison's farm con-
tain more sugar per pound than any
produced in the western states which
have been brought to the attention of
the department.

Fire swept the heart of the business
section of Nome on the night of Sep
TENDER ID. From the meager informa-
ton it was gathered that from 90 to %
buildings were burned in the vicinity
of Lanes way, and that the fire area
covered two to three blocks. No de-
tails are given, andl no loss of life is
reported. If the fire burned in both
directions from Lanes way it is esti-
mated by persons familiar with the
class of business houses in that vicinity
that the loss will reach $500, 900, and
may exceed that figure, although any
estimate made at present would be
mere guess.

1.-THE Japanese do not attempt to

"The immediate provocation of the
riotous outbreak was the action of the
police, who sought to prevent a polit-
ical mass meeting, and not the slight
est feeling of hostility against for
eigners in general, and Americans in
particular, entered into the spirit of
the mob. OF course, there are many
japanese who are disappointed at the
terms of the peace treaty, and it is
natural that they should express their
disappointment, but the majority of
the thinking classes of my country
