The Second
Hague Peace
Conference.

TN HE second peace conference at
81 The Hague is spoken of in diff
m ferent terms from those EN-.
ployed when the first confer
ence met in 1899 on the call issued by
the Russian emperor. At that time the
project of holding such a conference
was looked upon as one might view
movement for ushering in the millen-
MUM. Most people then thought that
not until the millennium arrived would
the era Of peace between the nations
be in sight. But, though there have
been two dreadful wars since the meet
Ing Of that conference and though the
leading powers Of the world still main
tain large military and naval arma-
ments, there yet is a feeling that uni
versal peace is not so far away after
all and that the peace conferences are
really doing something to hasten its
approach. This is because something
practical in this direction has been ac-
complished. A permanent peace tri-
bunal or court of arbitration was es-
tablished by the first conference, and
to it important international questions
involving disputes that might have led
to war have been referred. Among
these were the dispute between Next
co and the United States over the pay
ment of moneys to the Roman Catholic
church in California by the Mexican
government, which was amicably ad.
justed through The Hague court of ar
bitration, and the Venezuelan case, in
which European powers had threaten
ed to use force in the collection of
debts. This was satisfactorily settled
by The Hague court, arbitrator being
appointed by it whose decisions were
accepted. The rules laid down at The
Hague for the conduct of negotiations
looking to settlement Of International
disputes have been of value already.
The conference Of 1899 was held in
the House In the Wood, provided for it
by Queen Wilhelmina, and was attend
ed by representatives Of twenty-six ma

tons. Several other nations partici-
pate in the second conference, and
practically every civilized country is
represented in the body which was
called to assemble at The Hague on
June Is. This year the meetings are
in the ancient Ridderzaal, or Hall of
the Knights, which has recently been
restored. Probably by the time the
next conference assemblies the splendid
Peace palace, to be erected through
the generosity of Andrew Carnegie,
will be ready for occupancy.
The American delegates to the con-
ference are Joseph H. Choate, former
ambassador to Great Britain, chair
man; Horace Porter, former ambassa-
dor to France; Judge U. M. Rose, for
mer president Of the American Bar as
ISOLATION; William I. Buchanan, former
minister to Argentina; DR.. David
Jayne Hill, American minister to the
Netherlands; Judge James Brown
Scott, solicitor Of the state department,
who is the expert of the delegation on
international law; Brigadier General
George W. Davis, Judge advocate gen.
eral Of the army, military attache, and
Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, presi-
dent of the Naval War college.
A leading figure at the conference is
DR.. Hill, who was appointed minister
to the Netherlands after a service as
an assistant secretary in the state de-
partment. He was formerly professor
Of international law In Rochester uni
versity and was also president of this
institution. Mr.. Buchanan will be
looked to for advice on some of the
important questions to come before the
conference on account of his expert
ence as delegate to two pan-Ameri-
can conferences, his diplomatic service
as minister to Argentina and to Pan
anna and his arbitration Of the dispute
over boundaries between Chile and Ar
genttna. His knowledge Of the ques-
tons involved In the Drago doctrine
that European powers should not at
tempt the collection Of debts In Ameri-
can republics by use Of force will make
bis services at this conference espe-
cfally valuable.

WHEN MABEL SKATES.

Around the block there's sense of woe;
Where next will fall the sickening blow
We dread to think, we fear to know
Since Mabel got her skates.
The children all have ceased their play,
On doorsteps now they sit all day
Their playmate doggies sneak away
Since Mabel got her skates.
For, running like an engine wild,
She's bowled down many a hapless child
And midst her havoc beamed and smiled
Rash Mabel on her skates.
Her outset I can hear affair."
Like loosing of the dogs of war,
Like flying squadron, Gathering car,
When MabeTs donned her skates.
With far less fear I think I'd see
Sweep round the corner down on me
A charge of Cossack cavalry
Than Mabel on her skates.
The danger great to shun and flee,
I leave her all the sidewalk free,
The center of the street for me
When Mabel wears her skates
But yet she takes me unaware,
Till I, with Shrek of wild despair
Instructive jump three feet in air
From Mabel and her skates.
Last eve she nearly broke her knee,
And thus ray of hope we see
And coming sweet delivery
From Mabel and her skates.

AIDS WINE ZEN,
New Laws Promulgated Will Assist in
Removing Grievances.

Paris, July 1.-The government
Saturday, after defeating it's foes in
the chamber of deputies Friday, pro-
mulgated the wine-fraud bill, which
was passed by the senate Friday
evening, and which is designed to cor
rect a number of the abuses com
planned of by the disconnected wine
growers of the south of France. The
bill, it is hoped, will go a long way
toward removing the feeling of dis
content in the recently disturbed dis
tricts.
The measure, which has just be-.
come law, requires, among other
things, that all growers make an an
nual declaration at the mayoralty of
their commune of the acreage, cultiva-
ton and total quantity of wine pro-
duced and in stock, and whether it is
intended for sale or otherwise, the
government being of the opinion that
when in possession of this informa-
ton it will be in a position to keep
track of the wine from the grower to
the dealer, and thus prevent watering
or sugaring.
The finance minister is also pre-
pared, as an inducement for the wine
growers, to abandon grape growing
in favor of other crops, to remit the
land taxes in such cases for five years.
The government advises the organi-
cation OF wine growers to regulate the
output and discontinue the manufac-
ture OF poor wine, and urges the grow
ers to assist the government to sup
press outside frauds by themselves ex-
posing wholesale buyers who refuse
to purchase products unless adulter-
ated to suit their market.

CLEAN STREETS UNDER GUARD
New York City Trying to Remove
Rubbish in Spite of Strikers.

New York, July Under a tsrong
police guard the first systematic clean.
ing of the city streets since the strike
of the department of street cleaning
drivers was instituted was begun
Saturday. Progress was slow, how
ever, the health department, which
now has charge of the work having
much difficulty in hiring men to take
the places Of the strikers. Crowds of
strikers gathered at many points and
bombarded the new men with sticks
and stones. and in some cases went
SO far as to pull the drivers from
their seats on the wagons.
The conditions in some OF the side
streets, particularly in the upper East
side, are regarded as extremely seri-
GUS. Great heaps of refuse which
have accumulated since the strike be-
gan are piled up along the curbs, a
menace to the health of thousands in
the crowded sections. So great had
the quantity of rubbish became in
some places Saturday that household
ers built bonfires in the streets to con.
sumo the garbage.

Baker G. Eddy was capable of intel
ligently managing, controlling and
conducting her financial affairs and

during such time before that date as
may to the master seem reasonable.
No limitations are made as to the
evidence to he introduced. The mas

tees appointed by Mrs. Eddy to man
age her property, that the reasons
be given in writing for the courts de-
cision against their petition for leave

Chamberlain says that the deed of
trust given by Mrs. Eddy did not give
the trustees a legal right to intervene

mitted that justice did not require
such intervention.
