William I. Stead Says America
 Should Go Farther
AT THE HAGUE CONFERENCE
Comes to America to Attend the Dedl- cation of the Carnegie Institute and National Peace Conven-
 ton in New York.

New York, April 3.--William T. Stead, who has recently made d tour of the Eu- ropean capitals in connection with the next Hague conference, and who comes here to attend the dedication of the Car negle institute at Pittsburg. was a pas senger on the steamer Caronia which arrived today. During his stay in this country, MT. Stead will attend the na- ional peace convention, which is to be held in this city April 16 and 1T.
 In his tour of the European capitals MT. Stead discussed the peace situation with many leading statesmen, among them the German chancellor, Con Buelow,
 In speaking of The Hague assembly, he said America should carry cue step fur ther the principles which the American delegates incorporated in the convention of 1S99-the recommendation that usage in duels should be extended to wars.
 Article of the convention, which con tans this recommendation, has not been acted upon although the recommendations were made unanimously" said MT. Stead. Tt recommends that when two towers have had dispute which they were un-
 
 macy, they should not resort to hostili- ties the moment they suspend diplomatic intercourse, but that they should each call in special mediator corresponding to second in duel, who shall have a period not exceeding thirty days in which to try and compromise the dispute and avert war If they had been actad upon in this manner, neither the South Ameri- can war nor the Russo-Japanete war would have broken out when they lid. pause of thirty days and a freal deal with new negotiations would gAe the world absolute security against kudden outbreaks of war and place the dlirium of war fever under the control of sober, common sense of the community."l
 MT. Stead said he does not look fir any thing more than an educationalI result from the discussion of the queston of armaments at the next conferencel

WILL NOT DISSOLVE
 RUSSIAN OUMA
Various Rumors Circulated Are
 Positively Denied
CRUCIAL MOMENT TODAY
Social Democrats Have Succeeded In AIigning Social RevoIutionists-A Close Vote Is Expected on Re-
 actionary Forces Scheme.

St. Petersburg, April 3.-The Associated and categorical denial of the various rumors that have been in circulation here and been telegraphed abroad to the ef- feet that the cabinet had decided to dis solve the lower house of parliament. The correspondent learned that a few of the reactionary members of the cabinet maintain that the lower house should be dissolved on an pretext, but the mat ter has not been discussed at any one of the three last sessions of the cab inet
 The crucial moment. however, is ex- pected tomorrow. when vote will be taken upon the constitutional democrat motion to refer the budget to commit tee. There is a social democrat amend ment to reject the motion totally. and the cabinet has been informed that the passage of this amendment would be regarded as justification for dissolution. The vote Is expected to be very close. The social democrats have succeeded in alignng the social revolutionists, the pop ulists and q part of the group Of toll together 102 deputies, on their side. The social democrats have slight lead, they expect to have 240 deputies. But the reactionary forces who arc scheming to nverturn the douma, may repeat the precedent established March 2S and vote with the social democrats against the constitutional amendments.
 The council of the empire has rejected by 104 votes to twenty-five proposal to disqualify Prof. Maxim Kovalevsky as member of the lower house His dis- qualification was urged on the grounds that he was a -supernumerary professor and upon this basis he had already been disqualified by the senate

PROSECUTION OF GREENE AND GAYNOR Government Argues Statute Limitations Don't Apply REVIEWS HISTORY OF CASE All-Day Speech of Marion Erwin. Defendants Were Fugitives From
 Justce-Exceptions
 Too Late.
REVIEWS HISTORY OF CASE

New Orleans, April 3.-The govern ment's side of the argument in the Greene Gaynor appeal was presented in an all day speech by Marion Erwin today.
 In rebuttal of the claim that the statute of limitations applied in this case, Mr. Erwin said the evidence showed Greene and Gaynor to have been fugtives from justice and he referred to statute pro- viding that persons fleeing from justice cannot have the benefit of the statute of limitations.
 He claimed that the defendants had filed their exceptions to the charge of Judge Speer in Savannah, upon which the appeal is based, too late, according to decisions of the supreme court of the United States. They ought, he said, to have filed them before the jury left the bar, but they had waited two days. Judge Speer had certified to the excep- tions even at that late day, in order to give the defendants all the rights claimed. Nevertheless MT. Erwin held, neither the attorneys nor the judge, under the law. could make such exceptions valid To allow exceptions long after trial, which should have been made during trial, would result in the revival on mere tech ncalities, cases which it took months to try.
 Previous to taking up the legal points, MT. Erwin reviewed the history of Greene and Gaynor's operations with Captain Carter. He claimed that the three as early as 1891 entered into an agreement for defraudlng the government by letting contracts at exorbitant prices.
 He said that the profits were shared in thirds. and that in five years they amounted to over two and one-quarter millions. He said the evidence showed that Carter. in 1891, jumped up the prices to be paid the contractors for their work over 300 per cent and increased these prices to 400 per cent in 1892, at the same time shutting out competition He claimed that this was accomplished through the shortness of advertisements the withholding of specifications and the manipuation of the options reserved to the engineer to be exercised after specifi- cations were let.
 He said also that the work was in- ferior and that the defendant Greene had admitted in cross-examination that the estimated profit on putting in brush mat tress in Savannah hargor had been in- creased from $300,000 to $1.500,000. This in- crease, Mir. Erwin said. was due to using material inferior to that called for in the specifications.
 Mir Erwin had not finished his argu- ment when court adjourned until tomor- TOW.

HIT THE ROADS, HURT THE PEOPLE FINLEY 0vereapitaIization Popular Er- TOT Says Southern President STEAKS IN NORTH CAROLINA Says Capitalization Affects Investing Public, But Cannot Control Car
 riers' Rates or Affect the
 Shipping Public.
STEAKS IN NORTH CAROLINA

Greensboro, N. C., April 3.--At the an- nual banquet of the Merchants and Man ufacturers' club tonight, w. W. Finley. president of the Southern railway, re- sponded to the toast North Carolina and Its Relations to the Railroad Prob lem" He said
 "The interests of a railway and of the people dependent on it for transportation are so completely identical that l have no hesitation in saying that every leg islative proposition that is inimieal to the railroads will be found, on careful eX animation, to be equally inimieal in it's ultimate effects to the interests of the people of the state served by their line"
 President Finley said that while the capitalization of each railroad must be considered on it's merits, he was con- Yinced that there was serious popular error in supposition that there is any considerable overcapitalization of rail- roads in the United States
 Leaving aside the question as to whether the railroads of this country are overeapitalzed, wish to say to you that the idea that railroads are controlled by capitalization is entirely without justifi- cation. Capitalization may affect the in- trnsic value of company's securities and thus affect the investing public, but it cannot control q carriers rates, and hence cannot affect the shipping pub
