 Hague Conference.
 RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 2S. The in- ternational American conference adopt cd unanimously the resolution recon mending the submission of the Draso doctrine on the matter of the use of force for the collection of public debts to The Hague tribunal. The preamble states that no definite conclusion was proposed by this conference, composed exclusively of representatives of Amer ican countries, but that the principles in question should be passed upon by an assembly composed of represents tives of all nations, as the principle af- fleets the internal sovereignty and rights of nations. It further expresses the opinion that the declaration should be extended to cover all controversial exclusively pecuniary origin
 The resolution recommends "that the governments represented in this con ference consider the point of inviting the second conference of The Hague tribunal to consider the question of the compulsory collection of public debts, and in general means tending to dimin- ish between nations conflicts having an exclusively pecuniary origin"
 In the committee on location of the next conference Chile. demanding that precedents be followed, had made strong opposition to Argentina's plea for the selection of Buenos Ayres. Chile is now compromising owing to the bond of sympathy created by the calamity which befell that country last week and Buenos Ayres' prompt tender of aid to the stricken city of valpa- raiso. The report of the committee will adhere to the proposition for the choice of City of Mexico for the next confer ence, but it will be accompanied by a recommendation in favor of Buenoe Ayres for the conference of 1910, the centenary of several of the South American republics.
