With Senator's Daughter.

MARITIME carried on correspondence with
Miss Ruth Mason. daughter of the former
United States senator from Illinois, and
was at one time reported engaged to her.
Through the Masons he met prominent
government officials, daughters of senators
and representatives, and was favorite
with the younger social set In Washington
Ex-senator Mason, speaking TOT MS oaugh-
ter recently, said
MARITIME was introduced into our nome oy
some of the best people in Washington. For
a time he appeared as sutton for my daugh-
ter;s hand Then we heard things that
made his association with my daughter OBJ
jectionable, and she dismissed him. We stun
liked the young man as a friend, Dut found
him impossible as a sutton. II / thought ne
had given out my daughters letters for
publication ] would go to New York and
horsewhip him. If he has become the sort
of man who threatens to talk scandal he
has greatly changed.
a trim to Europe last summer proved to
be Marines undoing. He sailed in the
company of a striking-looklng woman,
whom he called "the baroness She, 1t
is said has since become the Wife OF a
prominent New Yorker. In London Mar
tine and the baroness were lnseparaDie.
He had taken an automobhe from New
York across with him, and together ihey
went. on long touring trips. An American
who met them at Claridges, In Bendon,
asked him how long he would remain
abroad.
'Oh, [ haven I thought IL over, MARTIN
remarked Il may stay month, three
months, or a year; It all depends how
feel"
MARITIME had a suite of rooms at the Con.
tinental In Paris. Mclaughlin heard OF
it. and began to wonder how his s3-a-
week clerk could afford such luxurious
APARTMENTS. MARITIME travelled all over the
continent visiting Switzerland, Austria,
German Spain, Italy and again back to
Iordon. When MARITIME returned to his JOB
behind the counter in the mems furnishing
goods store his employer hired detectives to
watch him After months work they Sc
sured a warrant for the arrest OF MARITIME
and a search warrant for his apartments.
There they found hundreds of dollars worth
of goods which Mclaughlin claimed as his
property His employer has several Wit
nesses who declared MARITIME sold them fur
uishings of the finest quality for half price
MARITIME accounts for his living az the
rate of $1,000 year by saying: Il got on
the average of 500 a week as society en-
tertainer | often received big tips from
wealthy customers. They can't send me to
prison. / know too much scandal in high
life
Marines room was decorated with photo
graphs of some of the best-known society
women in the United States and Europe.
More than LOCO love letters, written by
fifty different women, We're found by the
secret service men, who also found at least
two hundred photographs of MARITIME, IN
forty different poses.

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE.
Secretary Root Wants Appropriation
for Delegates Expenses

IN a communication to the House of Rep
resentatives Secretary Root asks for $4,000
to enable this government to participate in
the second international peace conference.
In his letter Secretary Root says:
His imperial ma jesty the Gar of Russia,
as initiator of the peace conference of 1899,
has approached the governments with a
view to their taking part in new interna-
tional conference which will be called to-
gether as soon as favorable replies have
been obtained from the states.
THE President, whose keen desire for the
perfection of the agreements of the first con-
ference by a second conference was shown In
the two circulars of October u and Deem
Der rs of last year, has received the pro-
posal favorably.
While no time has as yet been fixed for
the meeting of the second conference, it is
probable that it will convene some time dur
ing the coming summer or next autumn"
The Secretary submits the draft OF a sec
ton which approprates the money and
states the conference is to be held at The
Hague.

CRISIS IN PORTUGAL.

before the parliament.
According TO the local press. In these disc
tricts whose products in prosperous times
are chief source of the country's wealth,
many of the vineyard owners have In their
cellars the harvests of two years grape
growth which they are unable to sell, ex.
cept at a huge sacrifice. and, not being
able to obtain the cash on which they
counted or financial help from bankers and
others to tide over bad times, they have re-
solved this year to discontinue in many
vineyards the hoeing and other iudIspen<
sable labor. This has led to the non eln-
ployment of some thousands of hands who
could otherwise have counted upon employ.
