For Coming Conference at The Hague

ton impcrtant--Late
Foreign News.

ST. Petersburg, June Russia s
attitude and line of action Eefore The
Hague conference are now BEGINNING
to take shape and she has definitely
shaped her course on various import
anr questions to be presented.
In regard TO the limitation Of arma
ments, Russia maintains the positions
laid down in its note Of March l6
1905, and with Austria and Germany
is frankly opposed to any discussion
Of this subject which it still feels can
lead TO no useful result. Russian au.
thorities however have not abandoned
hope that an eleventh hour agreement
which will enable the question to be
disposed of before the conference
amicably and without bitterness.
Russia regards II as highly de-
siiable that the questions of mari
time war and rights and obligations
of neutraIs, now so important after
the Russo-Japanese war should be
systematized
The Russian program provides for
discussion Of principal problems
which arose during the recent war.
Russia is anxious that the marine
powers. par excellence should par
ticipate yearly and with good will In
this labor and that England and
Japan should not persist in their atti.
tude of reserve toward the discussion.
Contraband Question First
OF first importance in tAis depart
ment Russia considers the question of
at present a situation of
utter chaos. The difficulty of adjust
ire English and continental views on
conditional contraband, such as coal
horses, etc, is realized
but it Is hoped by Russia that the
can elaborate conven.
ton, enumerating what articles shall
be considered contraband and under
what conditions. and provid'ng inter-
national regulations for prize court
perhaps even an intaraas
.ional prize court Of the highest In
stance
A corolorary question which Rus
;la hopes will also result IN lnterna
ional regulation, concerns obligations
VI neutrals in supplying bellgerents'
With coal and similar quasi munitions
If war. This question was of acute
n crest during the Russo-Japanese
var. Definite rules concerning the
light of asylum in neutral ports also
lre desired.
Russia has as yet made no official
regarding her attitude
n regard to discussion Of the Drago
doctrine, proposed by the United
'tates. but the appointment of NJ.
'rosor, Russian authority on this
mestion, indicates Russia's willing
less to participate in the discussion
