The Hague. July 27.-The British dele
cation laid to-day before the commission
that is dealing with the rights and duties
Of neutrals in maritime warfare a copy
Of the treaty Of Washington, Of 1871, In
which England ane America defined the
positions Of belligerents and neutrals
upon the declaration OF war.
Count TornielI. Italian Ambassador to
France who presided over the commits
sion. explained that England considered
the present a favorable opportunity for
other powers to give their adhesion to
that treaty
The subject under discussion by the
commission was the regime that should
govern belligerent warships in neutral
ports and waters. The interposltion Of
England with the treaty of Washington
was received by many OF the delegation
with gratitude as helping 10 mark other
wise uninteresting proceedings
Any interested power could have given
adhesion to il, since the treaty is in ex-
istence without the assistance Of the ma
chinery of The Hague conference. But
its formal presentation to-day marked the
only progress made. The discussion took
the form of a series OF oratlons In which
the delegates explained the political geo
graphy Of their respective countries.
NOrway's Littoral Too Long.
Hagerup, Of Norway, insisted that the
length Of his country's Ettoral. with its
fjords and inlets, precluded his govern
ment from requiring belligerent vessels
from leaving within twenty-four hours.
Denmark's representative. speaking for
a country placed between two great
neighbors. pleaded that neutrais should
not have obligations placed upon them
beyond their power to perform, and he
considered that Japan's proposals con
stituted such obligations
Russia's spokesman Tcbrykoff. whose
c0untry's waters are not likely 70 be used
as refuge by any belligerent vessels,
pleaded only for the tightening Of the
charges placed on neutrals and the
strengthening Of their rights
Renault. Of France. resumed his habitual
role Of friend Of all nations and thought
the conference should above all maintain
the sovereignty of neutrs! powers.
FOrcshadOws American Plan.
Sperry, Of America, joined In the chorus.
and thus foTeshadowed the American
plan He said the conference should be
inspired above all by respect for neu-
trality and by impartiality
The result Of the commissions proceed
ings was that no vote could be taken on
any set OF proposals, although the evident
desire of the majority was TO MAKE things
easy for neutrals during war rs against
Japans and England's proposals. which
would imp0st strict duties on neuuals, 10
prevent belligerents from abusing their
neutrality.
TorniellI's main proposal on behalf Of the
commission was that there should be re-
ciprOcal recognition among the powers of
all leg gslation relating to neutrality. which
was regarded as Illustrating the hopeless
ness OF the entire discussion

ACCEPTED RAILROAD PASSES.
City Official Will Be Put On Trial
 Monday Morning.

Bristol, Va, December 14-Jere Blunt ing of this city, police justice and pres ident of the City Council will be tried Monday morning on a charge of accept Ing passes from the Bristol Belt Line railway, in violation of a provision of the new constitution of Virginia. He is also under indictment in the federal court for alleged conspiracy with labor agent to commit peonage. The charge in con- nection with the railway company was preferred by a bill filed in the corpora ton board by w. J. Cox as relator. MT. Cox employed attorneys to prosecute Bunting.
 Proceedings for the removal of Bunt- ing have been predicted for some time, though the two cases against him have created considerable surprise. He was for number of years general agent of the Norfolk and Western Railway com pany in this city and local representative of brewery, previous to the beginning of his official connection with the city, over & year ago. He was elected to the City Council and immediately selected by that body as it's president and later ap- pointed police justice. There ars rumors to the effect that If the charge of accept ing passes from the railway does not result in his being busted other graver ones will be preferred. -

OBJECTION MADE
 TO H0BSON'S BILL
GEN. STEPHEN D. LEE WRITES TO CAPTAIN ROBSON SAYING VETERANS DO NOT WANT FED- ERAL AID. .,.,a,ai..

Jackson, Miss, December 14-(Special.) ) With reference to the bill which Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, congressman from Alabama and hero of the Merrimac. proposes to introduce in Congress, asking for an appropriation for pensioning Con- federate soldiers, Gen. Stephen D. Lee, commander of the United Confederate Veterans, has written Captain Hobson, vigorously but courteously protesting against the presentation of the bill, which would not, he says, represent the wishes of the surviving Confederates and while serving no useful purpose would do pos- sible harm.
 He pointed out to MT. Hobson that most, if not all, the southern states have provisions for pensioning of the Confed- crate soldiers, that most of the local chapters of the United Confederate Vet erans are prepared for and do look after the actual needs of their dependent mem bers, that there appears to be no neces- sity for the introduction or passage of the bill, and the discussions that would probably follow it would be calculated to open up old wounds now happily healed, . as 1t has been expressed.

STERN MEASURES
 FOR THE RAIDERS
GOVERNOR WILSON TAKES STEPS TO METZ OUT PUNISH MENT TO THE pEsTRoYERs OF BARNS,

Frankfort Ky, December 14.-(Special.) In its mission of peace establishment throughout the dark tobacco district of Kentucky the military arm of the state has behind it the full power of the civic administration This is made plain by the commission furnished Adjutant General P. P. Johnston by Governor Augustus D. Wilson. In his orders to General John- ston the governor says in reference to the raid on Hopkinsville and the incidents of violence in which property was de- stroyed and citizens abused and intiml- dated:
 "No sheriff, deputy sheriff. constable or other peace officer has taken any steps to bring to justice any of these men. These officers, possibly due to fear, have not prosecuted or offered to prosecute or ar rest the criminals"
 Having thus stated the situation, the governor defines what he expects:
 "You will call upon the peace officers of Christian county and Trigg county and in auire explicitly upon each of whom you call why the power of the county has not been called out to prosecute and ar rest the people guilty of this crime, and what, if anything, has been done to pros ecute them and uphold the law. Spare no one You further will make dillgent in auiry of all persons whom you shall have any reason to believe have any knowledge that will help discover and lead to the arr rest of this band"

Gifts In Taste,

If you are able and wishful to give your pastor something. see that his tastes, so far as you can ascertain them, are consulted rather than your own, says The Delineator for Decem- Der. Nine people out of ten give other people things they would like to have themselves, without the slightest re- gard to their appropriateness for the recipient. If you want to know what the minister would like, consult his wife; if he has no wife, consult his nearest friends.
 By this means you will avoid giving him an ice cream freezer which he does not need, cream being an expensive article and the modern breakfast foods requiring so much of 1t to make tn em palatable--or an elaborate engraving which you get at a reduced price, because it has been unstable until you came along looking for bargain for the parson; or set of books whose value is in the binding rather than the contents, when there are hundreds of serious books which he really needs and cannot afford; or a handsome smoking jacket, several sizes too small especially If he has neither time, money nor inclination to smoke; or tn e typical pair of embroidered slippersl If you must give him slippers buy him a pair and be sure to ascertain the right size before you purchase them.

MutiIated Magazines.

Australia has placed a heavy duty on all magazines containing advertise ing matter in proportion of more than one-ffth of the general contents. Mutt lated magazines are one of the first results of the new tariff. Subscribers to many popular monthlies are writ ing to the Melbourne papers,. indig- nantly complaining of the condition in which the last numbers reached them. Nearly all the advertising pages were torn out by rude force. This was done by the agents with the permission of the minister of customs, who has grant ed the publishers four months grace to make fresh arrangements. The Mel bourne manager of one well known magazine says that 1t has hitherto been sold in Australia at 12 cents. but if this proyision in the new tariff Is passed the price in future cannot be less than 30 cents.

TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.
Educator Declares That They Do Great
 Things for the World.

Minneapolis, December 14-"Men have no organization in the world at the pres ent time that is doing as much for civili- zation as the National Federation of Womens clubs,'' was the sweeping statement made by Prof. Charles Zueblin of the University of Chicago before the Minneapolis Women's club today.
 He spoke on 'Women In Public Life," tracing the life of women and her in- dependence from the days of earliest his- tory to the present time.
 Mans supremacy is now almost thing of the past" said Professor Zueblin, ''and it is high time it Is so, for while woman Is regarded as the weaker, physically, she is in many respects the stronger men, tally and morally. From the time brute strength received second place and the mind became the dominating power of the human being, woman has risen until she now threatens to be not only the equal of man in every respect, but the superior.
 Regarding the physical strength even 1t might be said that woman is stronger than man for the human being should be graded according to the performance of functions for which it is intended. Taken as a standard, woman is the strongest for she endures more in life than the av- craze man can imagine'
