 Some Foolish. ..

The meeting re- mained in session until the return or the deputations, the time being occu- pied by further discussions or the sit- uation and the delivery or. the speeches of the most revolutionary character, all of which were loudly app1auded. Those present included large num- Der of students.
 The deputation returned toward midnight without having succeeded Tn sence at Peterhof, where he was mak- ing a report of the railway troubles to Emperor Nicholas.
 Tbev found Count Witte, who receiv- ed them, but he insisted that the inter view must be of private character, ne' as president of the committee or minis ters having no right to accept an ad- dress. He said. however, that he had no ohiection to the publication of the con- versation. ..
 He pointed out that the address con tained many demands which would not he realized in any country and also manv which were worthy of attention He said that a constituent assembly was quite impossible and contsnded that the suffrage and other problems had nothing to do with the railways
 The Count promised that the liberty of meeting and of the press would doo De nromptly granted and said that the con p,.,,ad nnnIIcation of martial law to the railroads was due a misunderstanding and would be remedied. He declared declared that he was friendly to all reasohaoIe ne demands for liberty and promised 10 confer with Prince Hilkoff as to the best means of dealing with the railroad question. At the same time' he adVlsea the deputation to end the strike ana then peaceably to formulate the de- mands of the men. .A
 Having listened to the report the meeting decided to postpone action un- til the deputation had an Interview with Prince Hilkoff.

VATICAN AT THE HAGUE.
May be Represented at the Coming
 Peace Conference

Peace Conference. Rome Oct. 25.-The Italian Govern ment expects to receive in the near
 future the program of subjects to be discussed by the second peace confer
 ence at The Hague, called by the Em- peror of Russia. It Is thought that
 the conference will meet next spring
 and that Russia will be represented by
 a delegation headed by M. Nelidoff,
 Russian ambassador at Paris, and M. DeMartens. former professor of inter-
 national law at the University of St.
 Petersburg.
 Pour parlers have passed between The Hague and Rome regarding the participation of the Vatican in the con- ference. When the first conference
 was convoked Emperor Nicholas, who
 was on very cordial terms with Pope Leo sent to the Vatican a note identical with that addressed to all powers, ex- blaming his intentions.
 The Italian cabinet which then had
 general Pelloux at It's head successfully took the ground that the presence of a Papal delegate at the conference
 would be offensive to Italy and would
 be interpreted as the recognition of the Pope as a temporal sovereign. Great
 Britain assisted in this opposition. As a protest against its exclusion. the Vatican withdrew from The Hague
 Monsignor Tarnassi, the Papal inter- nuncio. who afterwards died, it was
 said from grief
 The relations between Italy and the Vatican have become somewhat amel-
 iorated. the cabinet of Premier Fortis
 has no objection to the Vatican being
 invited, but a plausible reason must
 be found for the change. so that what
 in 1899 was a victory for Italian dip lomacy should not now appear to be a
 defeat, or to be due to too good un- derstanding between church and state,
 which both have no desire to em- DhasiZe.

Outlook is Now Bright For Settlement
 of Wage Question

OutlOOk IS NOW brEKnt F1Or Settlemen nt
 of Wage Question.
 Fall River, Mass, Oct 25.-At the very moment when strike of more than 25,000 textile operatives employed in seventy-five mills In this city semed a certainty, the situation was suddenly cleared by the action of the Manufacturers Association and the out look tonight is brighter than at any time since the wage question has come to the front.
 Meetings of the various textile workers union had been called for tonight to take action on the question of calling a strike in all the cotton factories controlled by members of the manufacturers association. Late this afternoon. however, committee rep resenting the manufacturers held a conference with the committee from the Textile Council. The manufactur- promise might be reached and request ed that the unions take no action on the matter of calling a strike before next Monday night. This request was made 1t was explained, In order that the manufacturers and operatives, through their representatives. might hold further conferences.
 The committee representing the Tex tile Council acquiesced and the secre- taries of the various unions were in structed to bring the request of the manufacturers before the various or ganizations. Tonight the weavers, spinners, carders and loom ftXers un- ions voted unanimously to postpone strike action until next Monday night. when the unions will again meet.
 A conference between committees representing the manufacturers and the operatives will be held at 2:30 o'clock next Monday afternoon.
 It is now believed in union circles that there will be no strike. The man. ufacturers have shown a desire to eff feet a compromise, and 1t Is thought that the wage question will be adjust ed satisfactorily.
