gress today announced the presidents OF
the four commissions which will con-
sidered the various subjects to come be-
fore the conference. They are NJ. Bour-

Italy; Prof. Martencs, OF Russia, and M.
Beernaert, of Belgium.
President N.lidoff offered one of the
presidencies to Joseph H. Choate, who
heads the American delegation, but it

Trouble of mild nature promises to
be stirred up in the congress at the
very beginning by demand made by
Italy that PERI Triana, the second dele

from the conference. The Italian govern
ment claims Trians is an anarchist from
Naples.
BY the decision of the delegations the
protest against Frains retaining his seat
in the conference will be referred to the
Dutch government. 1t is not known
whether Italy will be satisfied with this
decision, however, A pleuisry meeting

ROBES RECOVERED.

The waters OF Hampton Roads yester-
day gave up the three bodies Of the six
midshipmen lost with the launch OF the
battleship Minnesota. The bodies are
those of Midshipmen Philip II. Field, OF
Virginia, class of 1906; w. II. Stephen
SOD, of North Carolina, class of 1906,
and +. p. Holcom6, OF Delaware, class
of 1907. Each OF these was found shoat
yesterday morning at widely divergent
points, one near Thimble Light, six
miles from Old Point Comfort, in the
Chesapeake; another of Ocean View,
and the third up toward Newport News.
The body near Thimble Light was dis
covered before 6O'clOck yesterday morn
ing by Capt. Thomas J. Mann, of the
steamer Washington, Of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, as the
steamer IVES coming in from Washington.
Captain Mann reported the finding Of the
body to Rear Admiral Emery, at Old
Point, and later to Supervising Inspector
of Steam Vessels CAST at Norfolk. Cap
tain Mann is forbidden by law to disturb
Me body, but he made careful note of
the location, and the three launches sent
for it from The battleship Ohio had no
trouble in finding it. The body of New
port News was also found about the
same time and that off Ocean View was
found by fishermen somewhat later.
Each of the bodies was taken to The
battleship Minnesota. The faces and
hands had been so much eaten by crabs
that it was necessary to identity them
by marks on the clothing and articles
in their pockets. Late yesterday after
noon a tug was sent from the Norfolk
navy yard TO the Minnesota and con-
ed the bodies to the naval hospital.
1t is believed that the bodies of the
others still missing--three midshipmen
and four seamen-will soon come to the
surface, ard close watch is being kept
for them.
The body found by The fishermen was
identified by the clothing and the mono
gram on a watch as that of midshipman
Holcomb. Because of the bruises on
Holcomb's body the board is of the
opinion that he must have been struck
by the steel cable which cent the launch
TO the bottom.

saying that the lines between the DIFF

TIE ANARCHISTS in Rome obtained
permission from the police TO hold &
congress, which was inaugurated last
Sunday, and is now going on. Many
delegates are in attendance. The build
ing where the congress is held is decorated
outside with black and red flags. The
programme contains an affirmation that
anarchists are bound 10 combat religion,
which, like governments and capitalism,
represents authority. Hence, efforts
must be made TO promote irreligion
smong the rising generation by the cult
Of nature, truth, beauty, labor, liberty
and love. Anarchists have been prOpa-
eating their dangerous creeds for many
years, and have invaded every civilized
country on the globe. There is every
reason to believe that mighty struggle
between these cut-thrOats and religion,
law and order will be the prominent
feature of the programme of the future.

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE IS, 1907

The PRIMARY ELECTION for the pur-
pose Of nominating democratic csndi-
date for Congress from the 9Th district
TO succeed the late John +. Rixey will
take place tomorrow. Three well-known
and capable gentlemen are in the race,
each anxious to be selected as the stand
ard bearer of his party, and either of whom
would make an earnest and satisfactory
representative. 1t is unnecessary to
name the gentlemen who have been
appealing to voters during the past few
months. They have made themselves
known or renewed scqusintances through
out the district. There is no real issue
confronting this district at present, and
tbe matters that have been discussed
would be handled we'll by either of the
gentlemen that may be selected. AS is
natural. voters ia the localities from
which the candidates hail are vigorously
pushing the claims of their respective
favorite but during the canvass, so far as
is known, no bitterness has been shown,
all realizing the fact that personally
each candidate meets all requirements
as to ability. Hence, after sill, the
voters will merely be called upon to
select one out of the three good men who
are candidates for Congressional honors
1t is a friendly contest in the demo-
cratic camp, and while all have by this
time determined for whom they will
vote, when the result shall have been
Announced a motion will be immediate
ly made and carried to make the nomi-
nation unanimous.

adopted the following resolutions:
The persecution of our compatriots is
deeply to be regretted, for the sake Of
both America and Japan, but we must
not forget that there exists between the
two nations the closest friendship,
which might almost be called an ALI
ance. In the face of the profession

CURED must not be taken as expres-
sions of their will. IL is believed,
therefore, that the question, if properly

gent solution. We must refrain from
becoming excited over unlawful conduct
on the part OF the people and thus in
juring The national cause. We expect
that a proper settlement will soon be
reached through peaceful diplomacy.
The spirit OF the above should be taken
as an indication that sensible people in
