TIE HAGUE CONFERENCE.


Washington, April 4.-Unexpectedly
the Russian government Tuesday made
another movement toward the recon
vention Of The Hague conference when
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador
presented to Secretary Root proposal
for the reconvention Of the conference
at The Hague early in the coming
summer, and indicated that the Ne
therlands government had assented TO
the proposal.
It had been supposed that owing TO
the completely of the problems IN
volved in the arrangement OF even a
tentative programme for the confer
euce and the delays caused by the ne
cessity Of persuading the Swiss govern
ment to make the time and programme
for the approaching Red Cross con-
vention conform as far as possible
to The Hague project. it would scarce
ly be possible for the conference to
assemble earlier that a late date next
fall. There were seasonable ob1ections'
however, to such a date and it was in
timated that it might be necessary to
defer the convention until next year,
The matter had been left In large
part to the governments of Russia and
the Netherlands to adjust.
The fact that they have agreed
makes 1t probable that the other sig
natory powers to the original Hague
convention which have accepted the
invitation to attend the next confer
ence will agree to the proposed date
although the short period of time avail
able will make 1t necessary for some
Of the powers which have given little
attention to the subject recently to dc
some rapid diplomatic work in order tc
arrange programmes according to theii
own desires.

HEARING BURTON CASE.
Attorneys Prssenting Arguments e
supreme Court IN Appeal Of
Kansas Senator.

washington. April A-Argument
was begun Tuesday in the supreme
court Of the United States in the case
Of the United States against United
States Senator Burton, OF Kansas lne
government was represented by AS
sistant Attorney General Chas n
Robb. and Mr.. Burton BY long array
Of counsel consisting Of ex-Judge john
y. Dillon, Battle P. Waggoner, Henry
Hubbard, W. H. Rossington. w. Knox
Haynes, p. L. Lehman and W. r
Hackney.
The charge against Senator Burton
in this case Is the same as that pre-
ferred when the case was before the
court last year except that IN TINS
case the receipt Of money BY Burton
in 81 Louis is alleged. The reversal
Of the decision Of the circuit court ON
the former appeal was based upon the
failure to show that fact the tesu-
mony as then adduced only showing
that he was paid for his services with
checks which were cashed In TINS Guy
Mr.. Burton took especial exception
to the oonstitutionality Of the law
under which he is prosecuted. MI.
Burton's defense was summed up In
the following language:
1--WE maintain FIRST that the pres
emf Indictment does not state case
in which the United States is inter
ested' within the meaning Of section
1882 and, second. even If interested
nevertheless, the proof shows that
Burton neither agreed to render nor
did render any services in respect OF
any matter in which in any view the
United States had any interest d.
rect or indirect.

CHICAGO ELECTION.
Municipal Ownership of Street Rail-
ways, the Main Issue, Only
n.t Partially Carried,

Chicago April 4.-Under the result
of the city election held Tuesday In
which the question Of municipal ow-
nership of the street railways was
the vital issue, the city Of Chicago
can proceed to acquire and control the
railways but can not operate them. At
the same time the, voters, while de-
claring that the city shall not proceed
to operate the railroads declared that
as a question Of policy it would be
desirable for the city to do SO.
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
of the S75,OO00OO certificate and pub
lie policy propositions as a victory for
municipal ownership, but he expressed
his disappointment over the defeat Of
the propositions for municipal opera
ton.
The election was one of the most in
teresting to Chicago voters that has
been held in many years. The vote
was much larger than had been ex-
pected and all day the contest for and
against municipal ownership was BIT
terly fought. Party lines we're largely
ignored and the eligibility of candi-
dates depended more upon their atti-
tude toward municipal operation Of
street cars and high license for saloons
than upon their party records.
