The International American Conference
The International American Con.

ut
The International American Con.
ference at Rio de ]aneiro yesterday
adopted, with slight technical modif-
cation, the Mexican convention relative
to the exercise OF the liberal professions.
The resolution recommending the sub
mission of the Drago doctrine on the
matter OF the use OF force for the collec-
ton OF publig debts to The Hague Tn
bunal was adopted unanimously. The
preamble states that no definite conclu-
sion was proposed by this conference,
composed exclusively of representatives
of American countries, bnt that the
principles in question should be passed
upon by an assembly composed OF repre-
sentatiyes of all nations, as the prnci-
pie affects the Internal sovereignty ard
rights of nations. Ii further expresses
the opinion that the declaration should
be extended to cover all controversies
having pecuniary origia.
The resolution recommends Chat the
government represented in this confer
ence consider the point of inviting the
second conference of The Hague tribunal
to consider the question Of the compul-
sorry collection OF public debts, and 10
general means ter ding to diminish be
tween nations conflicts having exclusive
ly pecuniary origin"
IN the committee on location of thu
next conference, Chill, demanding that
precedents be followed, has made strong
opposition to Argentina's plea for the
selection of BnsnOs Ayres. Chill 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 Valparaiso The report
of the committee will adhere to the
proposition for the choice of Mexico City
for the next conference, but it will be
accompanied by recommendation in
favor of Buenos Ayres for the Conference
of 1910, the centenary of several OF the
South american republics.

Lawyer and Witness.

Sir Henry Irving was once the guest
of honor at a lawyers banquet in New
York. In the course of Il graceful add
dress he said:

Remedy of One Who Knew.

Julian F. Trask, now city clerk of La
COMA. n H., but formerly labor commits
sioner of New Hampshire and private
secretary to the late Gov. Busiel, is per-
haps one of the most famous stammerers
in the Granite state, and naturally his
popularity of speech attracts attention
wherever he goes.
While in charge of the labor bureau at
Concord he was approached one day by a
well-dressed stranger, who informed him
that he was a business man from the
Queen city, and after some beating about
the bush confessed that he had q son
about 8 or 10 years of age who was COM
mencing to stammer badly and having
talked the matter over with his wife, and
knowing of Mr.. Trask's infirmity, decid-
ed to come to him and solicit his advice
as to what they had better do with the
boy to remedy his defect in speech.
Mr.. Trask reflected very briefly and as
soon as he could screw his mouth into
position to utter the words responded:

THE SEA WITCH.

Endlessly fell her chestnut flowers,
Faint snow throughout the hOneyed dark
The myrtle spread his boughs to drink
Deep draughts of salt from the seas
brink,
And like moon-dial swuEG her towers
Straight shadow DER her warded park.
From her calm coasts the galleons fed
The fisher Steered him further west.
No port was hailed, no keel came home
Across that pale enchanted foam,
But by her roof thrusheS fed
And wandering swallows found their rest.
The shadows touched her tenderly,
The red beam fingered OH her dress,
The white gull and the osprey knew
Her tower across the leagues of blue.
The wild swan when he sought the sea
Was laggard through her loneliness.
