 Washington. Dec. 21.--Secretary of State Root in accepting the tentative program for the approaching confer ence at The Hague has reserved tne right On behalf of the United States government to propose for discussion the subjects of disarmament and the Drago doctrine.
 Thls latter subject was injected in the program of the Rio conference by the United States after the program had been practically completed at the meeting of an international committee in Washington last winter.
 This article, which is the outgrowth of Doctor oalvo's famous dictum, in- volving the right of a nation to use force in the collection from other na- tions of public debts gave rise to more and excited more feeling and was generally of greater import ance than any other article discussed ,,e the Rio conference.

IN AN AIRSHIP.
Hellmal and SaRtOS-DumORi Are To
Make The Trial.
A NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. l, 1906. =
The announcement was made YES
terday that Walter Wellman. the
Chicago Record HeraId's Washing
ton representative had been given

comment, and all of a favorable
naure. Wellman'S orders are:
Build an airship, go find the

the progress of your efforts"
The airship, the order for which

supervision of NJ. Santos umont.
and will be completed by the end
Of next April.
No definite date has yet been de-
cided upon as to when the explOr-
ers will start on their journey, but
it is expected that everything
will be in readiness to get away
next July Or early in August.
Of the airship and its capacity,
Mr.. Wellman says:
The airshiD in which we pro-
pose to attain the North pole will
be the largest practicable airship
ever built. 1t will be 1876 feet
long, and its greatest diameter
will be fOrty-nine feet. It's sur
face will measure $4,000 square
feet and its volume will be 226,O
cubic feet. Inflated with hydro

plete, leaving 5000 pounds for
cargo. The ship will be provided

more than they help and there are
no delays, this ship can motor
from North Spitzbergen to the
pole in fOrty-fve hours.

HORRORS OF THE
RUSSIAN TROUBLE.
Mothers Beaten With The Dead
Bodies Of Children.
TERRIBLE TALES They TELL.

New York, Jan. Stories of
horrors so revolving as to be al
most beyond belief, are told by
many Of the 1900 Russian refu-
gees who arrived here Friday on
the Hamburg-American steamer,
Graf Waldersee. Although COM
ing from widely separated parts of
the Russrian empire, the stories
OF all OF them we're markedly SINH
lar. Torture and death in all their
most revolving forms were wit
messed. Children were snatched
from their mothers and their little
bodies rent and torn. Mothers
and fathers we're struck down in
the midst of their families.
One little girl, Rosa ROsenski, a
child of 8 years, came over with
her brother, Isaac, about the same
age. These two are what remains
OF a family of ten persons, the
other eight having been killed by
the COssacks in Moscow.
HiSch Siedlitz, who was a store
keeper in Kief, told of his fight
from that city after a
massacrae of Jews in the market
square.
At midday on a Friday three
weeks ago a bugle sounded two
blocks distant. A second, third
and fourth bugIe answered the
first and next came a clatter of
hundreds of horses hoOfs and the
COssacks rode pellmell through
the streets leading to the market
place and fell upon the market,
men and the women and child
rem.

the time. | don't know howl es-
capped. The women wore on their
breasts tiny red roSettes, the EN-.
blem of the revolutionary party,
and these we're selected as targets
for the lanceS held by the Cos.
sacks. The lances seldom missed
their mark. The women and
children were kicked, shot down
and trampled upon. Everywhere
was blood. Dead children were
used as clubs for women suspected
by the Cassacks as being the moth
ers of these children. Thousands
of corpses were gathered up after
the carnage"
