THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Hague Meeting Will Probably Follow
 Lines of Former Meeting.

The Hague, June.-The general plan of the proceedings at the second peace conference probably will follow closely the procedure of the first con- gress held in 1899. Practically noth- ing has been worked out in advance. The government here realizing that the representative of the forty-six powers who will assemble here June 15, must be complete masters of the situation, has refrained from in any way attempting to control or arrange the program or method of procedure. It simply offers it's hospitality to the conference. The same is true of Rus sia. Although the czar was the Alad- din who rubbed the lamb and sum- mOned the Genii once called into be- ing they are beyond his control. The arrangement up to the present time, therefore simply cover the opening session, when MT. Nelidoff, the Rus sian ambassador to France, will call the conference to order and make an address extending his sovereign's $ greetings to the delegates. Dr. Jonk- heer D. A. w. Van Tets Van Coudrain, the Dutch minister for foreign affairs, will reply ill an address of welcome on behalf of Queen Wilhelmina. There after it will remain for the conference to decide how it will proceed.
 It is safe to assume, however, that the general line of procedure of the former conference will be duplicated. The first thing in order will be the ap- pointment of committees to consider the various subjects inscribed upon the Russian program. These will hard ly number more than five. Unless the question of the reduction or limita- tion of armament is injected into the proceedings at the outset, in which event the main struggle may be at once precipitated the plenary body probably will not meet again for ten days or a fortnight in order that the committees have an opportunity to prepare reports for submission. In general, it is not expected that the full conference will meet more than once a week until the work of the committees justifies the more frequent sessions. The opening session, it is expected, will be public to the eX- tent of at least admitting a few dis tinguished guests and press represen- tatives, but the sessions of the confer ence and of the committees will be secret.

Oppose Cotton Speculation.

Vienna, June.-The International Cotton Congress came to an end May 29. The attitude of the congress from the standpoint of America, was on the whole favorable. The most important thing the congress did was to reach and understanding as to how cotton could be ginned, baled and delivered, An interesting feature was the fact that both growers and spinners were united in opposition to speculation in cotton futures and in this connection a resolution was passed in favor of the compression of the cotton at the gin neries or at the point or production. In the matter of the question of tare, the congress adopted resolution es- tablishing a maXimum allowance of tare at pounds per bale, instead of the six per cent of the gross weight of the cotton as is now the custom. This arrangement works in favor of tLe American growers.

HOW HE BROKE A RECORD.
Took Last Jump from Forgotten Rub
 Der Home Plate.

Billy Powell, greatest hurdler the west has produced, was referring to his college days on the Berkeley track
 There were five in the race. l drew the extreme outside lane, which gave me a bad finish stretch. But I got a peach of start, swept the curve like a yacht on her beam ends and came down the straight taking the jumps in beautiful style. l felt I had varsity record in me at that clip, and l threw all my power into the final strides. Spring ing for the ninth hurdle l fairly flew through the air, and, flashing to the finish, broke the tape, the worlds record for the low hurdles, for the 220-dash, and for the rum ming broad jump, the time being q flat, and my last jump over two hurdles at once, clearing 43 feet and some inches.
 "Whew," exclaimed Ole Snedigar, "why weren't the records ever al lowed?"
 Well" continued Powell, when they went to measure that leap, Col. Edwards started to shove his cane in, to indicate my foremost spike mark, and the stick jumped out of his hand. They scraped the short grass away and found a solid rubber home plate imbedded where the varsity bat tery used to practice. San Francisco Chronicle.
