WANTS "bUTT IN"
China REQUESTS A HEARING AT
PEACE CONFERENCE.
Claims She Is vitality Interested in
Proceedngs-Russia Favors Sugges-
ton, but Japan Will Not Consent
Armistice Looked for Middle of
August.

Washington, July 11.-China's re-
quest to be represented in the Wash
ington conference, on the ground that
she is vitality interested in it's pro,
ceedings, has been received by the
president and informally transmitted
to the belligerents. Whether the presi-
dent has received the formal replies
can not be learned. but it can be
stated that while Russia is inclined to
favor the suggestion Japan will not
consent to it.
Japan has already made public her
assurance that Manchuria is to be re-
stored to China. That is one of the
principles for which she says she has
been fighting. Japan regards herself
as fully capable of executing this
promise without the assistance of
China, and in view of China's inability
before the war to cope with Russia in
Manchuria, the Japanese government
is unable to see what possible service
Chinese representative would be in
the Washington conference.
Moreover, the Japanese have all
along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus
STA. 1t is altogether unlikely that the
Washington government will press the
claim of China. and the official view
here fails to sympathize with the idea.
The past week has seen few develop
ments in the plans for the negotia-
tons. Negotiations for an armistice
are not expected to be concluded un-
til after the plenipotentiaries meet 1t
is pointed out again that the beginning
of the rainy season in the war zone
removes the necessity for the imme-
date signing of an armistice. Little
doubt is felt, however, that this will
be the first subject discussed by the
plenipotentiaries and probably their
initial act will be the signing of a
protocol providing for the cessation of
hostilities for a limited period.
No place has yet been finally select
ed for the holding of the conference,
but some place in New England will
certainly be selected. 1t is believed
here that the choice lies between
Portsmouth, N. H., and Portland, Me-,
with the chances in favor of the
former.
1t is believed here that instead of
the president making the tedious trip
to Washington to meet the plenipoten-
tiaries, the plan which will be adopted
is for the plenipotentiaries to go to
Oyster Bay, where they will be jointly
received by the president and formally
presented to each other. They could
go by boat thence to the place selected
for the conference, returning to Wash
ington at the conclusion of their labor
fer the formal signing of the treaty of
Washington, provided their labors are
SO successful.

SAYS ENGLAND IS UNPREPARED
Lord Roberts Delivered Hot Speech
on Their Military Protection.

London.-Field Marshal Lord Rob-
erts created sensation in the house of
lords Monday evening when in lengthy
and well considered speech he deliber.
ately Expressed his opinion as a praci-
teal soldier that the military force Of
Great Britain was inadequate, imper-
fectly trained and totally unfit to up
hold Great Britain as a first class
power.
Lord Roberts did not blame the gov
eminent, which, he said, was actuated
by a national feeling, but he scathingly
attacked the people Of England, who,
he said, showed no antional feeling to-
ward the military until danger arose.
Then, said Lord Roberts, the soldier
was the pet of the people, but this was
only an evanescent enthusiasm which
did not entail self sacrifice and passed
away as soon as the danger disap-
peared.
The speech was delivered in connec-
ton whit a motion introduced by the
Earl of Wemyss and March (conserva-
tive) traversing Premier Balfour's
statement regarding the impossibility
of the invasion of Great Britain and
urging the necessity Of keeping up
sufficient lnad forces to repel any poss-
IDLE invasion.
Lord Roberts said the lessons of the
South African war had been forgotten.
He had no hesitation in saying that
the armed forces of Great Britain as
body were now as absolutely untitled
and unprepared for war as they were
when the South African trouble broke

BRAVE WOMAN is KILLED.
Attempts to Defend Her Home and Is
Shot.


Shot.
Bakersfield, Cal, July 11.-Mrs.
Mary Van Dorse was murdered at her
home in this city. Her husband re-
turning from work at 4 o'clock found
her lying in a pool of blood in the
doorway of their house with bullet
wound in her breast. Apparently the
woman had been dead about an hour.
BY her side was small caliber pistol,
with one empty chamber.
About 3 o'clock in the morning six
shots were heard in the vicinity of the
Van Dorse home. 1t is thought that
Mrs. Van Dorse was awakened by
some one trying to enter the house,
got up and went to the door to investi-
gate. Seeing the intruder, she fired
at him, and was in turn shot and
killed.

MAKE DAY OF SOBRIETY
Anti-Saloon League Intends to Re-
deem the Fourth of July from
Misuse.

Columbus, o., March 24,-The
American Anti-Saloon league has de-
clared for the redemption of the
Fourth of July from its prevalent mis-
use" National superintendent p. A.
Baker outlined the plan yesterday.
1t is proposed to interest every tenn
perance organization in the United
States, and as far as possible to hold
patriotic temperance meetings in
every county in the country on July 4,
1905, and every year thereafter.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of every national church or
ganiZation. The Methodists through
the secretary of the executive commit
tee of the board of managers of the
temperance society of the church, re-
quest the Anti-Saloon league to con-
duct the movement.
The league has A churches or
ganized and has sub-district societies
and upon the latter will largely de-
pend the success of the movement.
They are to secure prominent speak
ers, music and various attractions for
meetings to be held in public places.

EXPLOSION KILLED MINERS
Six Men Dead and Four Injured Is
the Result of a Disaster at
Princeton, Ind.

Princeton, Ind, March 23.-Six
miners dead and four injured, two fa-
tally is the result of an explosion in
the mine of the Princeton Coal and
Mining Co. Wednesday afternoon.
OF the dead all but Dill were dead
when found in the mine. Their bodies
were rescued two hours after the ex-
plosion, the delay being caused by
the inability of the rescuers to combat
after damp. The five injured, includ-
ing George Dill who later died, were
brought to the surface 80 minutes af-
ter the explosion. They were found
heaped together in an unconscious
state. When the explosion occurred
most of tthe miners had left the mine.
Whether the explosion was prema-
ture shot or an overcharge is not
known.
Within a short time after the ex-
plosion the wives and relatives of the
miners surrounded the mouth of the
shaft and anxiously awaited each as
cension of the cage. The miners
worked heroically and a number were
overcome by the foul air which filed
the mine. The explosion hurled sup
porting timbers in every direction.

Six Men Drowned.

Charleroi, Pa, March 24.-During a

a ferryman at Lock No. 4, attempted
to row five men across the Mononga-
hela river in a skiff When in mid
stream the ferryman lost his way and
the boat was carried over the dam and
caps:zed. The occupants were thrown
into the stream, but before their call
for assistance could be answered they
were swept out of sight. Several
hours later the ferryman's yawl was
located over a mile below the dam,
but none of the bodies have been re-
covered. The names of the five men
are unknown.

ti-Kissing Women.

A little red button worn by some 300
women, old and young, married and
Indifferent among the leading social
sets of the City of Mexico, marks a
new departure, or, rather, new step,
in progress, says the Los Angeles
Times. This little, round, red button
signifies membership in what is known
at the AntiKissing league. Members
1f the league take solemn pledge not
to kiss each other in public or private
but put it on the ground that kissing
is contagious, or. rather, the means of
conveying contagious diseases from
one fair lip to another. There is moth
ing visible to the naked eye in the con-
stitution of this league against kissing
other than members of the female per-
suasion, and, in fact, the practice,
aside from the supposed danger of in
fection, is decidedly, to the male sense,
not only deplorable, but unnecessary.
When one woman takes two or three
minutes of time in a street car to kiss
three or four other women before
alighting from the car she certainly
violates the golden rule by making all
those passengers wait. How far this
new league will conduct its offensive
and defensive campaign remains to be
seen.

THE DEADLOCK IN DELAWARE
The Legislature Adjourned Sine Die
Without EIecting United
States Senator.

Dover Del, March 24.-The forty
seventh Joint ballot for United States
senator was started at noon Thursday
and resulted as follows: Addicks Is,
Henry A. Dupont Ia, Salisbury 10,
Hughes s, Coleman Dupont 2. Total
vote 81; necessary to a choice q; no
election. A motion was then made for
the separation of the joint session. but
it was debated by q nays to % yeas.
Two more ballots were taken, the
only change being the transfer of T.
c. Dupont's two votes to State Sena-
tor Simeon S. Pennewill. There was
no change in the fourth ballot and a
recess was taken until 1870 p. IN.
Immediately after the reassembling
of the joint session Senator Rose,
democrat, moved that the joint assem-
bly, separate. A viva voce vote was
taken and President Pro TEN. Conner,
of the senate, who was presiding, de-
clared the motion carried.
Senator Pennewill demanded a di-
vision and called for the ayes and
nays, but President Conner told him
he was too late and declared the joint
assembly separated.
The vacancy in the United States
senate from Delaware will therefore
continue until the next session of the
legislature, which convenes in Janu-
ary, 1907, unless there is an election
by an extra session.

THE RIVERS ARE FALLING.
Crest of the Flood Reached Wheeling
Late Last Night.

Wheeling, W. Va, March 23.-The
river reached its maximum height
here at 10 o'clock last night with AZ
feet inches on the gauge. 1t began
falling shortly after 10 and at mid
night was receding an inch an hour.
The city is all but entirely isolated,
only the Baltimore & Ohio being able
to run trains east and west on the
main line. Most of the large indus
trial establishments are idle for four
days or longer, throwing 10000 men
out of employment and causing a
wage loss of $150000 to $250,000,
Pittsburg, March 23.-With both
rivers receding, normal conditions, it
is thought, will prevail within 4S
hours. Much suffering is said to exist
among the poor in the flooded section
of Allegheny and the police were busy
yesterday patrolling the district in
skiffs, supplying the needy with coal,
bread and provisions. One of the fea-
lures of the flood which will be Sc
verely felt in Pittsburg before the
week is out is the butter and egg
famine which it is bringing about.

A Double Execution.

Pittsburg, March 24.-Two men
were hanged here Thursday and the
first unsuccessful hanging was record
ed in Allegheny county. Reno Dardaia
went to the scaffold first and his neck
was broken. William ]. Byers follow
ed him and when the trap was sprung
the loop of the moose pulled away,
precipitating him to the ground. For
a minute he staggered around under
the scaffold and then Sheriff Dickson
caught him. The rope was again ad-
justed and Byers was again placed on
the scaffold and the trap sprung. This
time there was no mishap.
