CONFERENCE
RUSSIAN EMPEROR WANTS ALL
NATIONS AT The HAGUE.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10. - Emperor
Nicholas has again appeared before
the world as a promoter Of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japan-
ese war over, and even before the peace
treaty is ratified. than his majesty is
sued invitati ons to a second peace CON
ference at The Hague.
That the emperor has done SO was
learned today from a source which
leaves NJ shadow of a doubt rs 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 a 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 contem-
plated anything Of the kind.
The news created the greatest sur =
prise here, and that Russia should plan
a second conference, despite the step
already taken by President Roosevelt,
was also heard with Armament. It is
clear that the step could not be taken
by Russian without first reaching a
complete understanding with President
Roosevelt. The fact that the president
is reported as being entirely in sympa-
thy with the proposal and that he is
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 the
Russian proposition, is clear proof that
the conference has been called and that
President Roosevelt relinquished his
part in it to Emperor Nicholas.
In this connection an interesting
question arises as to how the invitation
was communicated to Japan, in view
of the lack Of diplomatic relations, but
the invitation may be delayed until such
relations have been resumed or it may
have been forwarded through the Uni
ted States. 1t is impossible to learn the
proposed date of the second conference,
or to gain eve an approximate idea re-
garding it. but it will probably not be
greatly delayed.
Russia, as the power convoking the
conference, will probably submit an
official program, the other powers SUBJ
hitting suggestions.

FISHING TUGS
CANADIAN BOAT SENDS A few
SHOTS AFTER YANKEES.
The Fourth Incident of Poaching on
Lake Erie During the Past Week.
Over the Line When Canadian Boat
Appeared, but Made Its Escape.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 18.-The fourth of
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in the middle of Lake Erie
Sunday, when the Canadian cruiser
Vigilant riddled the big steamer tug
Harry G. Barnhurst with small shot
from the rifle on the patrol boat. Cap
tain Nick Easel of the tug admitted,
after he escaped, that the Vigilant
could have sent her to the bottom if
Captain Dunno had SO desired. They
ran more than eight miles under full
head Of steam before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
Canadians.
More than 80 shots struck the ves-
sci and of these Is of the small shells
landed with telling effect on the upper

man, Magnus Johnson, tainted in the
hold from overexertion in keeping the
steam going ahead. He was reported
killed, but survived after reaching
shore. Two of the fishermen were cut
in the face by splinters shot away by
the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Easel, was about five miles over the
line, drawing nets, when the Vigilance
appeared. The other Lake Erie tugs,
the Alma, Valiant and the boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunno or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead Of doing SO, Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line.
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Vigilant.
After the first two rounds from the
V,igilant the Americans say they heard
snouts IF "Kill Them "Sink the Yam
KEGS" coming from the Canadian
cruiser. Captain Easel says he was
aware he was close to the line. hut

Huge Money for Schools.

Olympia, Wash. Sept. 21.-The levy
for school purposes to be adopted BY
the state board of equalization should
provide a total revenue of about ST.
zoe, 900, according to figures prepared
by the superintendent of public in
%struction. The law requires that the
state provide a levy for school proposes
equivalent to $40 per school capita.
The school census, as certified by the
state superintendent, is 2O7, O99, and
the amount to be raised is therefore
$2,070, 900. Revenue from other sources
for IL months has been $500, 1854, leay-
ing 8 1,770, 1877 to be raised by taxation.
The law contains a proviso, however,
that the levy shall not exceed 5 mills
on the total valuation, and heretofore
it has never been possible for the state
board to levy a sufficient tax to provide
a per capita of $40.

JAPAN EXPLAINS RIOTS.
Provoked by Police Who Sought to
Prevent Meeting.

Prevent Meeting.
An official report concerning the re-
cent antitreaty riots in Toxic has been
received by the Japanese legation at
Washington, D. G. Mr.. Hiogi, charge
~d'affaires, says:
The Japanese do not attempt to
minimize the importance Of affairs as
they existed.
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 thai they should express their
disappointment, but the majority of
the thinking classes of my country
d%eprecate the riotous action and re-
greet the injurious impression created
by these disturbances, which appar-
emily led some people to regard them
as an indication of a feeling of hos

Lawton, Okla, Sept. 1S.-At sunrise
Sunday the Apache Indians closed
their green corn dance" at Hyles
Hole, nine miles north of Lawton, on
the Sill reservation. The dance proper,
with old Geronimo leading, closed at 2
O'Clock, when all visiting white people,

that the dance was over and departed.
After this came the lovers dance. In
this only the young squaws and bucks
took part, the squaws being allowed to
choose their partners for the dance.
During this dance is the only time that
the young buck is allowed to spoon

he must content himself by talking to
her father.
Early in the evening they held a
healing dance, in which an old squaw
was almost instantly cured of some at

Although Mr.. Rockefeller states that

which Mr.. Rockefeller did not

There are SIS men in it, four station

other things, it is their duty to mix
with the men employed by the Stand

NO WAR IS E
Delegates Of Norway and Sweden Are
About to Reach Agreement.

Karlstad, Sept. 1S.-The first Off

delegates of Norway and Sweden were
approaching an understanding in their
effort to establish a modus vivendi for
the countries as separate governments
was given out tonight at the close Of
the joint session Of the delegates. The
announcement reads:
The probabilities are that in the
near future negotiations can be
brought to a definite result"
This somewhat cryptic announce
ment is accepted as indicating that the
negotiations have reached a stage
where an agreement is in sight, and
a resort to arms, which might have
involved either power, may safely be
considered to be out of the question.
