RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The Interparliamcntary Union Tells
 What It Wants.

London, July 25.-The conference |of the interpariiamentary union, after a prolonged debate to-day, adopted the following resolution: The interparliamentary union, now assembled in London. expresses the view that the second Hague con- ference should:
 First. By treaty define contra band of war as being restricted to arms. munitions of war and explo- sives.
 Second. Reassert and confirm the principe that neither a ship car rying contraband of war nor other goods aboard such ship not being contraband of war, may be de- stroyed.
 Third. Affirm that even be- tween belligerents private property should be as immune at sea as 1t is on land"
 The conference also adopted reso- lution in favor of the discussion by The Hague conference of means to cut down the ''intolerable expendi- ture on armaments."
 Another resolution provides that each national group shall apply to its own government to grant funds to aid future conferences of the in- terparllamentary union.
 The decision as to the time and place of the next conference was left in the hands of the international council. It is expected that 1t will be held in Berlin in 1908.
 The conference then concluded its sessions.
 The deegates were entertained at luncheon at the house of lords. A deputation of the visitors will be re- celved by King Edward at Bucking- ham palace tomorrow.
 Lord Chancellor Loreburn pre- sided at the luncheon. and Ambassa- dor Reid and other members of the diplomatic corps. the speaker of the house of commons. Mir Lowther. Chief Secretary for Ireland Bryce, William J. Bryan and Prince Hilkoff were among the distinguished guests. Mr Bryan made the hit of the occa- sion with a speech describing the glories of peace. his text being that noble life is better than death on the battlefield. Prolonged applause greeted Mir Bryan's oratorical effort.

Members of Defunct Parliament Say
 Emperor Acted Within His Con- 1 .stitudonal Rights
PREPARE FOR NEW ELECTION
l. the Watchword of These Men Resistance With Force is Not
 What is Wanted.

St Petersburg, Judy 25.-Count Heyden, Prince Lvoff and NJ. Stako- vich, the three members of parlia- ment who refused to sign the parlia- mentary address to the country issued at Viborg, July 9, to-day issued separate address, appealing to the people quietly to submit to the i'm perlal decree dlssolving parliament and to prepare for the elections of members to the new parliament. The address declares that the emperor acted within his constitutional rights nnder the fundamental law and says that the signers of the address in of fering this advice act from the pro- found conviction that it would be a crime in the midst of the present dangers to attempt to shake the pow CT of the sovereign. After firmly setting forth the views of the sign- CTS of the address regarding the so- lution of the agrarian and other ques- tions and their dissent from the gov erfimeslt program. which made CO., operation between parliament and the ministry impossible the address says the emperor only exercised his legal prerogative In submitting the is- sue again to the people to decide whether the views of parliament act ually coincided with the sentiment of the nation It then appeals to the people to prove by their calmness that they are fitted for self govern ment, at the same time to show the monarch by the representatives whom ''they consciously elect" what they desire, and adjures them not to at- tempt to use force. which would be criminal madness as 1t surely would provoke severe measures. adding:
 ''The government is compelled to maintain the integrity of the state and the safety of the citizens at any price. Resistance with force not only means an enormaus number of fruit less sacrifices, but will also bring holy Russia to final economic and pc liticAl ruin"

WANT TO TALK IT OVER.
Connecticut Business Men Have In- vited Insurance Men to New Haven.

New Haven, July 25.-It was de- cided at the meeting of the special committee of the Connecticut Busi- ness Mems association, held in this city last night, to invite the New England Fire Insurance Underwrit- CTS association to send representa- tives here early in August to discuss the matter of raise in the fire in- surance rates. The committee repre- sented 1000 of the largest policy holders in the state, and the mem bers of 1t were from twelve of the largest business mems associations. The committee will formulate list of questions to which answers will be expected from the firewriters, and the line of questioning will be deter mined by the answer returnd to the query as to whether the underwriters have the authority to define insur- ance rates in New England. If the underwriters prove that they have this right the business mems com- mittee will ask why the present rates are not right. It Is stated upon good authority. that If the underwriters do not give satisfactory answers to the questions propounded and which are now being formulated. the spec ial committee will have the power to report back to the State Business Mems association whether it will be better to defy the underwriters by refusing to pay the increased rates. or make passive resistance until bill can be introduced into the state legislature legalizing municipal in- surance. It is stated that the meet ing in August will be friendly one. but that the future course of action of the Connecticut State Business Mems association depends upon the attitude of the fire underwriters who it is claimed have dictated the con- ditions under which fire insurance Is placed fn the New England states.

WRECKED SCHOONER
 IN PATH 0f LINERS The Wandering Dsrslist is a Menace to All Vessels, and Many Con-
 pIaints Are Made
HAS BEEN OUT 40 DAYS
And it is Supposed the Wreck Has Travelled More Than 5000
 Miles.

New York, July 25.-With her hull just awash. the wandering derelict John s. Deering. of Bath, Me, was sighted on July IS, about 1000 miles west of Queenstown. by the White Star line steamer Cevic, from Liver pool. which arrived to-day.
 Captain Clarke of the Cevic said the derelict was low in the water with only the stumps of her fore and mainmasts showing. He considers the derelict serious menace to navi- gation because 1t is directly in the path of all west bound steamships on the north Atlantic passenger route. Captain Clarke gives the ex- act position of the Deering as latitude
 47.13 north and longitude BIAS west. He sighted the wreck about 6 o'clock last Wednesday evening. It was slowly drifting eastward.
 The John s. Deering was formerly Ia three-masted schooner. Late in February last she left Wilmington, N. G., with cargo of lumber for New York. Heavy storms were en- countered and the Deering became dismasted and waterlogged. In this condition she was abandoned on March 1 by her master and crew, who were rescued and landed at Phil adelphia. It was off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, that the derelict started on her wanderings, and she has had remarkably long life as a menace to navigation. Since she was left by her crew she has floated with the gulf stream in northeasterly di- rection. It is estimated that over 5000 miles have been covered in the 140 days since she was abandoned. During this time she has been sight ed by number of ships.

Secrecy the Watchxord.

St Petersburg, July 25.-No word of the military disorders is now per- mitted to be published.
 The Rech to-day says that the quotations of Russian securities here and abroad are not true barometer. The paper adds that financial crash is impending, as the government is resorting to Count Witte's old sys- tenn by which millions are used in Berlin and Paris as well as in St Pe- tersburgN to bolster up Russian bonds. This is the only indirect reference made by the press to the parliament tary appeal to the country to cut on the governments supplies by refus- ing to pay taxes.
 In the provinces the suppression of newspapers and the arrest of agita- tors continues unabated.
 Up to the present there Is no evi- dence of the expected general rising of the peasantry. but news travels slow in the country. The only sudden growth of disorders among the peas ants thus far reported Is at Kostro- ma, 200 miles northeast of Moscow.
 .a recrudesence of the revolution is also reported in the Baltic provinces. near Demitrovsk.
 In Orel province the peasants on the crown estates are reported to be in eruption.
 The refusal of the authorities to send troops to save the estate of Bar on Fredericks, aide de camp to the emperor. forty miles from the capital. which was plundered by peasants yesterday seems to indicate that un- tIl the danger Is passed the war of- ice intends to keep the troops con centrated in the cities and protect the lines of communications between here and Moscow and St Petersburg and the frontier. so that fin the event of serious troubles in the army be- coming apparent troops can retire on St Petersburg. where the last stand 0iu be made.

ALL CARS NOT RUNNING.
New Bedford Trolley Strike Is Mov.
 ing Along Very Quietly.

New Bedford, Mass. July 25.-The street railroad strike situation showed little change from yesterday when early cars were sent over the lines to-day. As was the case yester- day, the company attempted to run only part of it's cars. While these were not capable of accommodating the usual morning rush of trafiic, ap- parent sympathy with the strikers and fear of possible violence served to reduce the patronage greatly.
 The night passed quietly. all the cars on the city lines having been drawn into the car barns at 6 o'clock last evening, while on suburban lines no car was run after o'clock.
 Practically the same number of men were at work early to-day. The Fall River, New Bedford and Onset. Mt Pleasant, Purchase street, Kings ton street and Padanaram lines were in operation. The belt line was not operated for passengers, though the mail and express cars were run.
 At an early morning meeting to- day the strikers voted to go to the company's offices and draw their wages. Such action, 1t is believed. will prolong the strike because of President Crapo's statement that all men who failed to report for duty at g o'clock this morning would be regarded as having left the employ of the company.
 Superintendent Potter said he hoped to maintain better service to-day than on yesterday. David s. Fitzgerald. the district organizer of the carmen's union, stated that as the strike progressed the operation of cars would be less efficient. He made the claim that to-day several non-union men had joined the union.
