Boston Home Market Club Denounces
Congressman's Free List Ideas.

BosToN, April 13.-In a series Of resolu-
tions adopted by the Home Market Club
to-day, Congressman George p. Lawrence
was practically read out Of the party be-
cause of his declaration in favor of free
hides, coal, iron ore, lumber and pulp wood.
The resolutions say, apropos of this eclara-
tion:
we regard this as Democratic doctrine.
1t is precisely what the Democrats in Mas
sachusetts are demanding. II is contrary
to the belief and practice Of the Republican
/ party, as expressed in its national plat
forms and in the speeches of its most dis
tingllished statesmen. If carried into exc
cution it would not only fail of its object,
but would tend to undermine the whole
fabric of protection"
The resolutions go on to say that such
misconception puts Massachusetts in a false
and compromising attitude before the ma
ton %andthatthe club asksthe Massachusetts,
Republicans in their several conventions
this year to repudiate such n dangerous
extension of the policy Of free raw ma

and fell.
Mr.. Bell hurried around to his home and
telephoned to the headquarters Of his

pan Of hot water and meal. The horse
was too far gone to eat. ,

COULDN'T ENTER NAPLES.
steamship singapore Forced to Run From
shower OF stones and Ashes.

Special cable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, April ia correspondent Of
THE Sun who was aboard the steamship
Singapore, from Alexandria, describes an
attempt which she made to reach Naples
on Monday last. The passengers had
seen a dense cloud of smoke rising from
the point at which Mount Vesuvius was
supposed to he while they were many
miles away. Early in the morning the
captain tried to communicate with the
agents of the line at Messina, but found it
impossible to do so. Then he sailed toward
Naples.
The ship slowly entered n dense fog OF
ashes, which grew gradually worse until
she was sailing in a smothering Inferno.
Great quantities of powdery dust filtered
down, covering the decks deeply. Soon it
was almost impossible for any one to re-
main on deck. Everything was closed,
but still I'm impalpable powder penetrated
the cabins, and the passengers were cough
ing and choking.
The captain alone remained on the bridge
and he tried, with the aid of wet towels, to
hold his place there till he could bring the
vessel through the awful cloud.
He managed to get within from four to
six miles of Naples, when a great darkness
fell and the atmosphere became unendur-
able. The captain was nearly strangled
and the passengers were in severe distress.
II was then 0 o'clock.
Suddenly there was a heavy explosion
and soon afterward stones began to fall.
The captain then turned the ship about and
ran away at full speed. In a few minutes
the air became less suffocating and the light
increased. After n while another attempt
to reach Naples was made, with a similar
experience.
The effort was then abandoned and the
vessel was headed for Leghorn, where she
arrived the next day.

Affairs has determined to stop these unlaw-

ST. PETERSBURG, April 13,-1t is officially
announced that the Peace Conferencea The
Hague has been adjourned to September.
1t was originally intended to hold 1t in
July.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-The second peace
co Inference at The Hague will probably
not be held until next October, az all events
not until after September 20, the date Of
the return of Secretary Root from his pro
posed South American trip. Mr., Root
desires to he in Washington when the con-
ference opens md his present plans will
not permit his return until September 20
at the earliest. This fact was communi-
Gated to Baron Rosen, the Russian Ambas-
sador, who in response, after consulting
with st. Petersburg. told Mr.. Root to-day
that the Russian Government agrees that
the conference shall not convene until
after September 20. 1t Is probable, that
the date finally selected will be in October.
Baron Rosen also discussed with Mr..
Root to-day the status of the South and
Central American governments which Will
participate in The Hague conference for
the first time at the coming meeting, The
Latin-Americans, who now have no voice
in the proceedings leading up to an ar
rangement of a programme for the con.
ference. nave made anxious inquiries OF
! Mr.. Root as to just how the delegates they
| send will stand when they reach The Hague.
II is believed that the best idea will be to
have a discussion Immediately among the
Powers now signatory to The Hague con.
vention to settle the question Of how and
on what basis the South Americans will
be received next fall.
The Russian Government thinks that
the South Americans should, before the
conference. formally agree to the arbitra-
ton declarations adopted by the last con-
ference at The Hague. Most Of the South
Americans are willing to do this, and as
the matter is considered the most import
ant point involved, it is quite likely that
| the Latin-American delegates may go TO
The Hague in a position to enter immedi-
ately into the conference,
