COMING PEACE CONFERENCE.
Secretary Root May Consent to Take
The Place of Honorary Chairman.

Washington, Oct 29.-While the poo
gram for the conference Of delegates
from the Central American states has
not been definitely formulatd. it IS not
improbable that Secretary of state
Root may consent to take the place of
honorary chairman. In that capacity.
while not in any way interfering WITH
the actions of the delegates. he would
be in position to call tn conference
together and deliver an address of well
come which might in diplomatic Way
be Il suggestion as to what the United
States ard Mexico would like to see
the gathering accomplish.
AS honorary chairman it would not
be necessary for Secretary Rot to al
tend all Of the meetings. but it would
be in order for him to name a delega tie
from each country as vice chairman
and allow each stat , at one time or
another TO have q representative in the
chair Secretary Root doubtless will
designate some one to attend the con-
ference on behalf of the United States
but such representative Of course will
have no voice in the deliberations.
1t is expected that the work of the
conference" will be confined almost en-
tirely to formulating a plan or a basis
Of arbitration whereby any differences
which may arise in the future may be
settled without resort to warfare If
this is accomplished. the United States
and Mexico will be Well satisfied with
the work of the delegates

Russo JAPANES TREATY.
Provisions of Navigation and Fisheries
Pact Reach Washington.

Washington. Oct. 29.-The state de-
IartIncnt has received copies Of the
treaty Of commerce and navigation and
the fisheries treaty recently negotiated
between japan and Russia, which were
ratified by these two powers Sept. I
last. The treaty of commerce and naVl-
CATION is based on an article of the
Treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the
war between Japan and Russia.
The new treaty follows closely the one
in force before the recent war. 1t pro-
vi,ieS for most favored nation treat
ment instead of q tariff: for liberty Of
residence ana travel; the ownership Of
personal property; for equal rights be-
fore the courts with the subjects of
the country: the transmission of per-
sciiIn property by will and the dispos-
III e any property which may be legal
" held; for liberty of conscience and
tEc DU'ning Of the dead and the most
favored nation treatment as to the
c.ra r.hip of land. The treaty OF COM
.nci'ce a.id navigation Will go into effect
two moths after notifications are eX-
changed and will expire in 1911 if de-
n"unced By either party one year
earlier.
The fisheries treaty will remain in
force .or II years and gives the Japan
csc he right to engage in fishing and
/" take and prepare all kinds Of fish and
rlnriIlc products. except fur bearing
seal; and sea otter. along the coasts Of
the Sea Of Japan and of Okhotsk and
Boring seas. japanese subjects will
have all the rights that the Russian
fishermen ENJOY in regard to the fish
cries. The Japanese government agrees
not to levy duty upon any fish taken
in the Maritime and Amoor provinces
ana imported into Japan.
With the completion of these treaties
and of the recent political convention
all the questions growing out of the re-
cent war have been settled except the
delimination CT the RuSSian-Japanese
horde, III Saghalien and the payment
of the sum due by Russia to Japan on
account of maintaining the Russian
prisoners of war in Japan.
