PEACE MEETING,
DISMAL FAILURE
Nothing Of Importance Has Been
Accomplished by Delegates to
The Hague Conference.
Prevailing Opinion is That Absence Of
Results in Great Questions is Due
to the Lack of Preparation by
All the Countries Repre-
scented.

The Hague-After having been in
with adjournment probably month in
the distance, 1t is recognized gener,
ally, and even by the most optimis-
tic in the peace movement that the
second international peace conference
has been and will be, at it's conclusion
barren of results leading to perma,
nent measures of benefit to the peace
of the world. Even the proposition
for future meeting of the conference,
which was unanimously adopted on
Saturday, has been so altered as to
suppress it's most important part,
namely, the perodicity of meetings,
merely providing for the calling of a
third conference, but establishing moth
ing with regard to the converting of.
the future conferences.
The prevailing opinion, as expressed
by one of the leading delegates, is
that the absence of results in the con-
ference on the great question was due
to the lack of preparation by all
the countries represented. This, he
said, was especially striking in the
case of the American delegation, which
was supposed to have come here in
complete accord with the Latin-Ameri-
can countries. This accord, however,
neither existed, nor had it been reach.
ed during the conference. Indeed, the
chief result of the conference will be
growing feeling of diffidence on the
part of the South Americans toward
Washington, as, rightly or wrongly,
they accuse the United States Of hav-
ing neglected them and of caring only
for working in accord with Great Brit
ain and Germany.

ROOSEVELT PLANNING TRIP.
Will Sail Down the Mississippi From
keokuk to Memphis.

Washington.-Wh the prepare
tons for President Roosevelt's west,
ern trip have not been completed, the
program has been sufficiently arranged
to make 1t certain that the tour will
be one of the most spectacular ever
undertaken by him. He will leave
here next Sunday, and will be absent
from the seat of government until, the
23d or oath of October. The trip has
three distinctive Objects The dedica,
ton of the Mckinley mausoleum at
Canton, O.; the inspection of the Mis-
sissippi river with view of arousing
interest in the ship channel from it's
mouth to keokuk, Ia, and the Great
Lakes, and the securing of period of
recreation for the chief executive be-
fore the beginning of the duties of the
winter.
Incidentally there will be some
speeches on the return journey, which
will deal with current issues.

ADMIRAL DEWEY OPPOSES
SURRENDER OF ISLANDS
Regards Philippines as Gateway to
tanning the Open Door Policy.

Neutrality-suspicious. Dewey strong.
ly resents the proposition that has
| been discussed in a more or less AGA
demic way to surrender the Philip.
| pines, which, of all men, he was lead
ing factor in bringing under the Amer
lean flag. In an interview, the admiral
sets out the reasons which impel him
to insist upon the retention of the
| islands. Nhe strong point of his ar
gument is nat based upon the military
or naval impostance of the islands,
but upon the great value, present and
prospective, of the Philippines to
America in the exteIsion of our trade
with the orient.
The admiral says: Nbandon the
Philippines? l don't belidke our coun-
try will ever do that. CERTAINLY it
should not, because it has altogether
too much at stake. 1t is only or con-
troll over the Philippines that makes it
possible for us to insist upon the open
door in the east, toward which our
diplomacy has been directed for years.
We want our share of the enormous
commerce of the east and we can't
keep the door open for it unless we
hold the islands Why did Spain for
200 years dominate the commerce of
the orient? Just because she had the
bay and harbor of Manila as a great
commercial and naval base. That
base can be just as useful to us COM
mercially as it was to Spain For ten
years every strong European nation
has been trying to get a foothold for
commercial and naval purposes in the
far east. Through the fortunes Of war
the United States obtained the best
position possible, giving us superior
commercial advantages over the ma
tions What sort of a common sense
would it be for us to give up such a
position?
Suppose we should dispose of the
Philippines and Japan should acquire
them. See how the islands stretch
along the coast. Here are the Philip
pines and Formosa If Japan had them
she could command every gateway to
the orient and the United States would
be completely shut out Every one
comedies that the orient is the future
great field for the principal CONNER
cial operations of the world We ought
to be the leaders, but we must at least
have share in the enterprise, and
In order to do so we must maintain
the position we have occupied.
think 1t is plain that we must have
commercial base such as Manila, and
then in order to protect our commerce
we must have naval base, and at SUI
big bay such base is being devel-
oped."

BRAKE REFUSED TO WORK;
MINERS DASHED TO DEATH
Heavily Loaded Cage Drops 700 Feet
In Shaft of Michigan Mine and
Bodies of Victims Are Mashed
to Pulp.

Negaunee, Mich.-By a cage plung-
ing 700 feet down the shaft of the
Jones G Laughlin Steel mine, eleven
men were killed and seven fatally in
jured. The cage with it's human
freight was being lowered on it's first
trip of the day, when the brake
suddenly failed to hold. The other
men sprang to the assistance of the
one at the brake wheel, but their eff
forts did not avail, and the wire cable
continued to unreel from the drum
like thread from bobbin.
The cage shot down couple of hun
dred feet before kink in the too rap
idly paying out cable caused it to part
and from that point the cage had a
sheer drop to the bottom of the shaft
The safety catches with which is was
equipped failed to operate. The surg
ing of the cable in it's mad flight tore
out part of the side of the engine
house and ripped out several of the
sheaves in and about the shaft house.
Workmen at the bottom of the mine
Immediately set about the task of re-
moving the dead. The bodies lay in
one pile, mass of lifeless flesh and
blood. The bones of the bodies were
so shattered that the men when they
fell We're piled on top of each other like
so many pelts of leather. Seven were
found still alive.

MORE FIGHTING IN MOROCCO.
General Drude Resumes Offensive and
Burns Moorish Camps.

Casablanca.- Negotiate for the
cessation Of hostilities having failed,
General Drude on Sunday resumed the
offensive and burned the Moorish
camps at Sidi Brahim, south of Casa
blanca, and dispersed the tribesmen,
who offered but little resistance.
These operations were chiefly notable
for brilliant forced march of the
French troops, who covered forty kilo-
meters inside of twelve hours. The
expedition, consisting of 1000 in
fantry, with detail of cavalry, artil-
lery and native auxiliaries, left camp
before dawn and formed into two hol-
low squares, one behind the other. In
this formation they marched some
distance under the cover of darkness
and unobserved by the tribesmen. A
heavy morning sea-fog came up at
daybreak and forced half hours
halt, during which shots fired by the
advance guards gave the alarm to the
enemy.

object to Enforcement of Food and
Drug Act on October I.

Observation-Disclosures of food were
before the board of food and drug in
spection, on Wednesday, protesting
against the regulation for the enforce
ment of the food and drug act which
provides that the rules in regard to
labels shall go in effect after Oct.
next.
The regulation provides that after
that date the principal label or can
shall state the substance of the pro-
duct and the name of the place of
manufacture. This regulation has
been extended from time to time and
Gamers now want further extension.
Gamers represented at the hearing
asserted that they had a half a
million dollars worth of labels on
hand, which will be worthless if the
regulation becomes effective at this
time. These concerns declared the
law to be confiscatory The board will
submit its recommendation to the Sec.
rotary of agriculture.

TWo-Cent Fare Law Knocked Out.

Harrisburg, Pa.-The 2-cent fare law
enacted at the recent session of the
Pennsylvania legislature was adjudged
invalid, unconstitutional and void in it's
application to the Susquehanna River
& Western Railway company in an
opinion rendered Friday at Bloomfield
by Judge Shull, of the Perry county
court. The law, he declared in his
decree, is in derogation of the Pennsyl-
vania constitution. He quotes figures
of the earnings to show that the en-
forcement of the rate ordained by the
act would be confiscatory.
