AMERICAN FISHERS FIRED UPON
Tug B%arnhurst Struck by Shots From
Canadian Cruiser.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 1S.-The fourth OF
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in Lake Erie when the Ca
madam cruiser Vigilant riddled the
big steam tug Harry G. Barnhursi
with small shells from the rifle of thu

the tug admitted after he escaped
that the Vigilant could have sent hei

so desired. They ran more thar
eight miles under full head Of steam
before they crossed the boundary line
and escaped from the Canadians.
More than thirty shots struck the
vessel and of these fifteen Of the small
shells landed with telling effect on
the upper parts SO that the boat ca.
reened to n side with the mass OF
wreckage when she came into port.
Having been used formerly for O

closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. 1t has become
quite the custom for the Erie fisher
men to cross the line regardless OF
strict orders from the companies EN-

never think of surrender when there
is a chance to run away. The Barn

paymasters have embezzled $165,O0O

ment has been calmly received by the
public, but the knowledge that the
commission of the crime extended
over the period of a year without dis

OF distrust and uneasiness toward the

weapon to the political parties that

EMPEROR PEACE
ISSUES CALL FOR SECOND CON
FERENCE AT THE HAGUE.
President Made First Move In Favor
Of Such a Meeting, but R%elinquished
His Part In II to Emperor Nicholas
Invitations Already Accepted.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Emperoi
Nicholas again appears before the
world as a promoter of universe
peace. No sooner Is the Russo-Japa
nese war over, and ever before the
peace treaty hes 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 It's authen
ITCHY. It Is officially announced that
"the Russian government proposes to
address the foreign powers with o
view to the holding of a second peace
conference at The Hague" but 1t Is
known that negotiations preceding
this announcement were entered into
especially with the United States and
were conducted with the greatest Sc.
crecy, there being not the slightest
inkling that Russia contemplated any.
thing of the kind.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise here, and that Rus.
STA should plan a second conference
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt was also heard
with amazement. 1t is clear that the
step could not be taken by Russia
without first reaching a complete I'm.
derstanding with President Roosevelt.
The fact that President Roosevelt Is
reported as being entirely In sympathy
with the proposal, and that he said
to the initiator of the first The Hague
conference should belong the honor OF
convoking the second, and readily and
gladly acceded to the Russian pro-
posal, Is clear proof that the confer.
ence has already been called and that
President Roosevelt r%elinquisned his
part In 1t to the emperor.
There is strong reason to believe
that the news even of the intention OF
the Russian government would not be
given out unless invitations had al.
ready been sent to the powers, and
possibly their answer nad been re.
ceived. In this connection an inter,
esting question arises as to how the
invitation was communicated TO ia
pan, In view of the lack of diplomatic
relations, but the invitation may be
delayed until such relations have been
resumed or 1t may have been for
warded through the United States.
1t was impossible to learn the pro.
posed date Of the second conference
or to gain even an approximate idea
regarding 1t, but 1t probably will not
be greatly delayed. Russia, as the
power %convoking the conference, will
probably submit an official program,
the other powers submitting sugges,
