PEACE WORK AND THE HAGUE

The announcement by the Dutch government
that there will be peace congress at The
Hague this year is not surprising. It has on
the contrary, been eXpected-or something equiv
alent 10 il has-by thoughtful observers ever
since the little controversy which arose when
II was perceived that the date first chosen for
the meeting at The Hague would conflict with
that which had long before been fixed for the
Pan-American Congress at Rio Janero. We
would not, Of course. intimate that there has
been any direct relation of cause and effect be-
tween that controversy and this postponement--
that the Russian government has been moved
by pique at the attitude of the American states
10 dismiss 10 the indefinite future a business in
which the whole civilized world is interested
But II nay be said without offence that imme-
diately upon the abandonment at Americas be-
hest OF the date first selected there became man.
ifest a disinclination 10 select another date for
the meeting at The Hague, and it seems not
unreasonable TO suspect that advantage has been
taken of that incident as pretext for post
ponement which was desired on other and quite
different grounds
II is easily TO be imagined, for example that
| In It's present gravely troubled condition of do
| mestic affairs the Russian government has no
mind nor heart for such diplomatico- iuridicaI
adventure at The Hague and that it realizes
| that If IL did, in such untoward circumstances
| engage in the undertaking IL would find itself
| embarrassed and handicapped, and its appro-
pirate authority in the congress much impaired.
1t would not be pleasant for il 10 proclaim
openly that such were its reasons for postpon-
ing the congress- but neither is there any disre-
spect or unkindness in assuming that such was
| the case. When President Roosevelt took the
initiative in calling for second congress at
The Hague. and then courteously RENTED to
Russia the actual selection of date and issuing
or Invitations, 1t recognized that Russia
would and fittingly should. be governed in such
acuoh oy the progress OF her peace negotiations
with Japan Nobody expected her TO call a
worlds peace congress while she herself was
sun at war On much the same ground we NAV
expect her TO delay such call until her owr
government is reestablshed on a basis com
manding the confidence and respect of mankind
Meantime peace work may continue though q

THE DEUTSCHLAND AND Ia PROVENCE.

Contests between Transatlantic steamships
like that begun yesterday by the Deutschland
and La Provence should not be eagerly encour-
aged Within certain limits an exhibition of the
ability to develop high speed is a legitimate adj
vertiSement but a race involves rlsks whlch
though small too real to be ignored. The
spirit of emulation may betray a competent
navigator into taking chances which he usually
avoids.
Right wrong. wise or unwise, these tests
of speed appeal 10 the fancy of people who
have sporting blood in their veins" Thou
sands of newspaper readers who have no imme-
date expectation of visiting Europe and no
practical interest in the outcome of the race
will await the result impatently. The ships are
pretty we'll matched Nominally, at least, the
Deutschland is the better. When she first began
running five or six years ago. her engines de
veloped $4,000 horsepower Those of La Pro
vence are rated at only 10000. Early in her
career the German steamer maintained a speed
of 2312 knots for an entire voyage across the
ocean. Apparently she is not quite equal 10
that performance now. and the main question
to be determined seems to be how much or how
little sha has lost. Again. though the French
vessel does not seem TO have shown her ability
to exceed % knots an hour. she is new. having
made her advent only a few weeks ago Now
that her machinery has been fully 'lmbered up
by four or five long trips. she may be able TO
afford both her admirers and her critics fresh
surprise.
BY the officers of the Deutschland their de-
feat early in the current month is attributed TO
the poor quality of their coal and To the fact
that La Provence took a shorter route than
theirs. All inequality in respect to fuel has
now been removed, and if the two steamers fol
low the same route during the next few days
there should he thoroughly satisfactory trial
of their merits.

The Grand Sachem Of Tammany. in his Fourth
of July programme furnishes additional evidence
of the proverbial Indian memory.

An alluring field for the exploitation of Amer
lean farmers is pointed out by Secretary Wilson
This is the raising of drug plants to meet the
domestic demand. Last years imports of drugs
and dyes were valued at about S64.Uo,oS. the
greater part of which, the Secretary says. might
have bee produced from plants grown in this
country Camphor trees will grow in many of
the Southern States; about a million dol
lars worth of the gum annually. The ioorice
plant is hardy far north as Pennsylvania.
The entire American demand for pepper could
be satisfied if American farmers would give
proper attenti on to the raising of that condi-
ment. Many plants regarded as weeds have
valuable medicinal properties and might be cul-
tivated at profit. The Department of Agri-
culture has for years urged development of such
lines of enterprise; it may be that in time agri-
culturists who are not too conservative VIII

true the postnonement is 10 be regretted, on its
own account. as we'll as for its presumptive

the causes conduct and outcome of the Russo

detail of that war its prologue and It's epilogue,
is matter of jmperis liable record, and will be
considered pondered and discussed from now
until such time as it may be hnally made the

Bv way of contributing to the consideration
of topics which will come before the next
Hague congress. whenever it may meet, we may
recall that the conference on international ar
bitration at Lake Mohonk a few weeks ago
adopted resolutions in favor of three measures
to be urged at The Hague. The first was the
transformation of the congress into a perma-
nent international parliament, with advisory
powers" That last clause is the saving one.
An advisory congress might be acceptable and
benefcent, but have no idea the nations
would ever agree 10 a legislature with manda-
tory powers, such as some have suggested. The
second proposal was for a general arbltration
treaty, uniformly accepted by all signatory ma
tions. That within suitable limitations, might
prove convenient and expedite international adj

New-York tribune., 1906-06-29

Mr.. Ingersoll, the engineer of the Brooklyn
Bridge, has persuaded the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company to add a fifth car to the local
trains operated during rush hours. That change
will enlarge the service at the busiest period in
the day about % per cent. Now that Mr.. Inger-
soil has discovered that he has influence with
the powers that be- perhaps he will make an
other recommendation. At present it is Gus
tomary to diminish the number of local trains
considerably at $50 o'clock every evening.
Unfortunately the demand for accommodation
does not correspondingly decrease at that instant
every night. 1t would be great boon to the
public to maintain the rush hour schedule until
ESQ or { O'Clock.
