THE PROGRAM
 OF RUSSIANS Before the Hague Peace Conference
Not Fully Made Up but a Partial Outline of 1t.

St. Petersburg. June 3.-Russia's at titude and line Of action before The Hague conference is beginning to take shape at a series of con>erences be- tween NJ. Nelidoff. the first member of the Russian delegation, his associates and technical advisors and officials of the foreign offices. A series of prop ositions mainly drafted by NJ. DeMar- tens. the celebrated Russian expert on international law, and second member of the delegation, furnishing the basis of discuss sion for the various points of the Russian program will be consider ed. Whether these will be presented to the conference depends largely up- on the attitude of the other delega- tions, Russia having no desire to shape the direction which the discussion shall take and which subject shall take precedence to the proposals of other powers whenever these are found un- satisfactory.
 Nevertheless Russia has now very definitely shaped a course on various important questions to be presented. In regard to the limitation of arma- ments Russia maintains the position laid down in the note of March 19, 19Os and with Austria and Germany is frankly opposed to any discussion of the subject which it still feels can lead to no useful result.
 Russia also regards it as highly de- sirable that questions of maritime war and the rights and obligations of neu- trals should be systematic. Russia is anxious that the maritime powers par excellence should participate heart fly with good will in the labor and that England and Japan should not persist in their attitude of reserve toward the discussion. Another question which Russia hopes will result is an interna- tional regulation concerning the obli- gations of neutrals in supplying bel ligerents with coal and similar quasi munitions of war.

MANY ATTRACTIONS THERE.
jamestown Tercentennial Offers Much
to the Intelligent Visitor.

! While Vermont visitors to the
jamestown Tercentennial no doubt
will pay much attention to the mag
nificent exhibit the state has in the
various buildings, some of the time
will certainly be devoted to the amuse-
ment and spectacular features with
which this great exposition abounds.
The scenes of the War Path during
the afternoons and evenings are en-
livening and enchanting in the ex-
treme. All nationalities jostle each
other in good natured carnival spirit,
while the familiar yet ever strange
music lends foreign aspect to the
surroundings.
But the War Path Is not all. There
are balloons In the aeronautical con-

done well and faithfully.
Rhode Island is by NO means behind
her sister states in her exhibits. The
display that she will have on her state
day, which will be on the anniversary
of the battle Of Lake Erie, Tuesday,
Sept. 10, is sure to be deeply admired.
The orator of the day on that occasion
will be President w. II. z. Faunce of

Connecticut.
Connecticut has one of the hand
soonest state buildings at the James
town exposition, beautifully located
on the shores of Hampton Roads. Its
exhibit in the States Exhibits Palace
is also we'll worthy of comment The
Connecticut building was constructed
after the general plan of the old Tai
mage home at Litchfield, the architec-
ture being closely followed with the
interior somewhat changed to conform
to modern ideas and conveniences.
The historical features of the Con-
necticut building are not confined to
the house alone, for its walls contain
many articles of historical value. Here
is preserved the celebrated "constitu-
ton tablet" consisting of the Connect
cut coat of arms, beneath which are
the words Connecticut State On
both sides of this tablet are quotations
from famous writers and historians
who played prominent parts In Amer
can history.
