The Hague, July 1S.-At the commit
tee meeting held this morning. Joseph
Fl. Choate. one of the American pleni-
potentiaries, made an important state
ment of the reasons that had induced
the American government to propose
a general treaty of arbitration. He
said:
THE dangers and mischief threat

ration for war and the accumulation of
arms have been somewhat mitigated
by the excellent work of the first peace
conference in recommending arbitra-
ton to the nations as substitute for
war and the establishment at The
Hague of a permanent court.

occurred and two terrible wars which
inflicted untold mseries upon many ma

ROOSEVELT AND FORAKER.
Story Told of Bitter Personalities If
Speeches.

For the first time perhaps in its
dinner Saturday night the best OF feel
ing give way, according 10 reports cir
culated widely today, to bitter person
alities between the president of the
United States and man who is con-
sidered presidential possibility, SEN
ator Foraker of Ohio.
Where statesmen and Journalists
get together and talk, half in jest and
half in earnest, about natioral and in
ternational affairs, sometimes things
are said which should not be made
public, and therefore ii Is we'll
known rule of the club that its pro-
ceedings are as inviolably sacred as
the executive sessions Of the United
States senate. But when the annual
dinner at the New Willard broke up
with four courses still unserved, many
OF the guests fingered downtown dis
cussing affairs. The president, so Cos
sips say, in mis- usual breezy, direct, I'M
equivocal manner, was discussing mat
tiers which had been attracting more

daily press. AS it happened, his homily
was on the text of brotherly love. His
Illustration was the Japanese incident
The president struck out boldly on the
Brownville incident after proceeding
to sccld California. In security OF the
secrecy supposedly guaranteed by the
club, he talked very plainly" as one
gossip puts it.
When he had finished President
Blyth called on Senator Foraker The
senator did not disappoint his audi
tors. He told the president it is said,
that he had convictions of his own on
the Brownsville affair; that one negro
did not look like another to him, and
that he considered his senatorial oath
as binding on him as the presidential
cath was on Roosevelt. He expressed
himself, it is reported, with even great
er franhnesS aud vigor on the presi-
dents record in the Brownsville af-
fair than he did in the senate, and
finally sat down amid a painful hush
President Roosevelt arose and essayed
to reply to Foraker. He did not speak
at length and evidently was taken
somewhat by surprise at the manner
in which his speech hid been received.

In Control.
At recent meeting in fIew York
representatives of the smaller metal
dealers in New York, New Jersey and
New England organized the Northeast
ern Metal Denl r., association and de-
cidei 10 cali on United States Attorney
General Bonaparte to bring suit to pre-
vent the formation of a combination Of
copper mining companies alleged to
be now forming.
The following teIcg. am was author
lied sent to the attorney general at
Washington
Proposed copper mine trust most
harmful to us. Beg you to investi-
gate this in the interests of middle
men and customers. Have sent par
ticulars by mail
NORTHEASTERN METAL DEAL
Frs ASSOCIATION"
The letter to Attorney General Bona
parte was not given out, but it was
stated that it called attention to the
present high prices of copper and that
it was proposed by the so-aclled trust
to maintain the price or to increase it.
The letter asserts that a foreign cop
per combination has entered into an
agreement with the metal selling agen-
cies in this country not to compete
with the American concerns and that
a division of territory in Europe has
been made by them. 1t is also alleged
that this trust has stored large sup
plies OF copper, both in this country
and In Europe, causing an artificial
scarcity of the metal.
President James Norton, speaking OF
the complaints made by the associa-
ton, said that rs members in the as
ISOLATION represented buyers of from
100000 to 30,000,000 pounds of cop
per annually, and that the western cop
per buyers were in thorough sympathy
with the objects of the association.
MI. Norton will go to Washington
next week to see the attorney general.

GREAT PLANT AT
MOUND HOUSE
DEPOSIT or GYPSUM IL BEIxG
CONVERTED INTO
PLASTER.

+. A. Regan. Is here from Carson
and Mound House. Mr.. Regan is the
promoter and principal owner OF a
big plaster plant at Mound House,
and is rapidly developing one of the
greatest industries of this section OF
Nevada. He has there an immense
deposit of gypsum, which is being
converted into plaster for finishing
houses both outside and in.
1--WE had been shipping the gyp-
sum to California and there convert
ing 1t into the plaster, but the San
Francisco fire wiped out our plant,
and we resolved to build one right
at the deposit and ship the finished
material We put up a plant that
cost us $4,000, and are shipping all
over the country. l think that this
is just what is needed for the finish
of the houses here and in Goldfield,
and this is the object of my trip this
time. We have made arrangements
with the Nye Mercantile Company to
handle the product here, and l will
have an agency in Goldfield There
is no more durable material for the
purposes for which it is intended and
am quite sure. that we will meet
with the success here that has greet
ed us elsewhere.
I'VE have deposit there which
will last for many years. We could
take out one hundred tons a day,
and don't think that there would
be perceptible decrease in the sup
ply in twenty years. ~
