BLOW TO pRAeo DOCTRINE.
Rio Conference Acts On Matter OF Col
lecthg public Debts.

Rio de Janeiri. August A-The SUD-
committee of the international American
conference on the Drago doctrine today
agreed on a resolution even more general
than the one on the PROF amfne 1t rec
commended that each Amg, fan nation at
its discretion request The Il Ngue tribunal
to study the questions of the forcible col
lection of public debts and pecuniary
claims of all nature. The Argentine repre-
sentatives alone opposed the resolution
which finally was agreed on.
Later 1t was annowYced that the Uru-
guyan representatiy had withdrawn
fiom the Drago doeriI sreement, which
resulted in a slight h aent to throw
the whole resolution Of the pro-
gramme by a two-thirdA However,
it w9s still considered pro- that the
resolution would be adopted
The Pan-American railroad committee
of the conference discussed two projects,
one to the effect that the construction Of
the entire road be turned over to pri-
vate company in the United States and
the other that each government under
take to construct that portion of the road
which is within its own territory.
An amendment to the report az the COM
mittee on the reorganization of the bu-
reau of American republics provides that
no maps issued by the bureau shall be
considered official unless approved by
all the countries interested.

ODBLL OPENLY
OPPOSES HIGGINS
SAYS HE WOULD BE CANDIDATE
FOR FACTION AND is NOT THE
MAN TO LEAD REPUBLICANS TO
VICTORY.


New York, August 14.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say:
Governor Odell at the Fifth avenue
hotel last night. after comforting with
various members of the state commit
tee, friends of Governor Higgins among
the rest, came out squarely against the
denomination of Governor Higgins.
He said that he regarded Governor Hig-
gins as a weak candidate. so that he
would If nominated be the candidate Of
a faction, and that his own experience
four years ago in running q second time
convinced him that the old-fashioned re-
publican precedent of refusing governor
a second term In this state was wise
one
Mr.. Odell took pains to say that he
had no personal feeling against the gov
ernor but was giving expression to his
best Judgment of the political situation.
from the republican point of view. When
Mr. Odell saw the newspaper men he was
asked:
Are you in favor of the denomination
of Governor Higgns?'
II am not" he replied, Il don't think 1t
would be wise for the republican party
to renominate. 1 don't think the repub-
lican party can afford to waste any votes
this year If Governor Higgins is renomi-
mated he will be the candidate of fac
tion What we need is a candidate for the
whole party"

A FAR-REACHlNG EFFECT ON

the insurance cases, involving the earth
quake clause, was called for trial today
by Superior Judge Hebbard. The case IS
that of the ROsenthal Shoe company
against the williamsburg Insurance COM
pany The attorney for the insurance peo-.
pie asked that the case be not set for
trial until opportunity could be given
the judges to mutually arrange with
the insurance companies for test case.
He said that the insurance companies
would demand a jury trial In each case,
and unless proper arrangements were
made for a test case the courts would
be occupied for years in hearing in
surance litigation.
The attorneys for the plaintiff declared
that there we're points of fact in this con-
nection that could not be settled by
test case The court then asked the IN
surance attorney If he waived a jury
trial and was answered: NO"
The Judge then asked
''Do you demand a jury trial?"
No direct answer was offered.
The attorney for the shoe company
then announced to save time he would
formally decided in favor of a jury trial.

NO SURFACE CARS
RUNNING TO CONEY
THE TRACTION COMPANY ADOPTS
THIS MEANS OF STOPPING THE
RIOTS WHERE SECOND FARES
ARE DEMANDED.

New York. August 14.-Following the
arrest tonight of six division inspectors
OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
on charges OF assault in the third de-
gree, the company shut off entirely all
of it's surface lines leading to Coney Is
land, taking the position that this was
the only way to stop rioting which has
been in progress since Sunday morning
at the points where a second fare was
demanded by the company's employees.
The elevated and express train services
to the seashort resort were augmented.
The arrested inspectors were taken into
custody on warrants sworn out by pas
sengers who had been elected from cars.
The employees were bailed in the SUM of
$500 each.
The stoppage of the surface car traffic
had the effect of quieting the disturbances
tonight and the company claims that it
will not attempt to run the surface cars
through to Coney Island at rush hours
until all danger of rioting Is past.

SPECIAL RULE FOR
The COAL FIELDS
czA2 ifAkEs THE DISTRICT SUB
JECT TO A SPECIAL GENERAL
GoVERNoRsHIP IN ORDER TO
PRESERVE PEACE,

st. Petersburg, August 14-In view Of
the representations of the foreign mining
interests in the Donets basin with regard
to seriousness of the situation at useovka
and elsewhere, the government has erect
ed the whole coal and iron district affect
ed into a special general governorship
in order to be the better able to control
the situation and has taken the unprece-
dented step of creating a special advisory
commission of mining representatives to
act in concert with the new official of the
district
His jurisdiction embraces Tekaterinos-
Law province, the southern part of Khar-
kov, and parts of the Don Cossack ter
ritory.
The step is comparable TO the creation
of the much-abused. 'satrapien" to deal
with the agrarian disorders in central
Russia last autumn of which the as
sassinated General Sakhaloff was one of
the governors, and indicates that the gov
ernment considers the situation to be
equally serious. Disorders and collisions
with troops continue. At Useovka today a
meeting was dispersed by Cossacks
whips.
On account of attempts to continue rev.
olutionary agitation at Cronstadt, Com
mandant Adlerberg today published an
order forbldding the use of streets after
midnight, except on pass, closing restan-
rants and saloons at 10 O'Clock and for
bidding altogether the sale of liquor on
Sundays and holidays. Adlerberg, who
was promoted TO a lieutenant generalship
as a reward for the suppression of the
mutiny, has issued an order quoting the
Emperor's personal telegram Of comment
dation and thanking from the depths of
his heart all from general to private by
whose cooperation he was enabled to
gain such signal honor

BERG AGAINST THE
FIELD IN NEBRASKA
BOTH PoPULlsTs AND DEMO-
Gratis WILL FUSE ON STATE
SLATE, AND SUPPORT BRYAN IN
1908.

Lincoln, Neb., August H.-Prospects
seem good for fusion between Nebraska
democrats and populists, both OF whom
will hold their state conventions here to-
morrow.
The conventions will meet Simultaneous
ly but in different buildings. Sole interest
centers in the nomination for governor.
George w. Berg of Lincoln has no oppc-
sition in the populist convention, and Will
probably be named by acclamation.
Among the democrats it is Berg against
the field, with the opposition apparently
unable to unite If there is to be split
between the two parties, 1t will be over
the head of the ticket.
The democrats will give the heartiest
endorsement of Bryan as a presidential
nominee and 1t is possible the populistz
may declare for him also.
