The daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1906-1907, 1907-03-19

GOLDFIELD, March 19.-The situa-
ton grows tenser here every hour.
There is hardly any sound on the
streets but the monotOnOuS schutiie
of feet and conservation seems at
standstill. When a man is approach
ed by another and is asked anything
regarding the labor trouble the per-
son addressed generally walks away
and makes no reply. There is some
thing omneous about this deadly sill
ence which hangs over the Main
street.
The street is packed and men meet
and pass and say nothing. Every
man in the camp is armed and all
waiting for the first spark of disturb
ance which would set off this indus
trial powder magazine. Diamond

MURPHY SLAMS HEARST.
Tammany Hall Leader Says Editor
Will Be Showed Under

NEW YORK. October 3O-CharIes F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. said
last night that the Hearst-Parsons fusion
county ticket would be SO badly beaten
next Tuesday that William r Hearst
would afterward cease to be n poIftica
factor in this city. and that his ambition
TO be reckoned as one of the runners for
the democratic nomination for President
next year would be effectually suuaIcbed
Mr.. Murphy and the other big Tsmmanv
leaders are particularly incensed against
Hearst because of the attacks he has
made on them. Murphy. knowing that his
ticket will win. has decided to rub It into
Hearst by working up as !iveiy cam
ign as is possible in the remaining few
days before election
lie came in from his country home on
Long Island. yesterday afternoon and
summoning the district leaders TO the
Wlgwam. ordered them to MAKE things
mum from now on until election day AT
least two mass meetings will be held dur
ing the next few days. and about a doZa
theaters have already been engaged in
which meetings will be multaneously
held Sunday night.
Murphy has suddenly reached the idea
that if the Hearst fuso on ticket can b.
beaten by an unexpectedly large majority
next Tuesday it Will mean the end of
Hearst, so far as his political influence in
this city is concerned, for a good long
time to come. Murphy frankly admitted
last night that he felt arSonalIy yindic-
tive toward Hearst because of the abus
the Hearst papers had hpaped on the
Tampany candidates, particularly on Tom
Foley. the Tammany nominee for sheriff

subjects of the signatory powers. with
the exception of contra band of war, shall
be exempt from capture or seizure on the
sea by armed vessels or by the military
forces etc.
The proposition was debated at great
length. The strongest opposition came
from the British delegates who made a
great deal of a recent magazine article
by Capt. Mahan of our navy. in which
he opposed the attitude of the United
States. When the vote was taken twenty
one nations supported us eleven were re-
corded in the negative including Great
Britain. France. Russia and Japan.
The delegates from South America as
sented to obligatory arbitration with a
reservation that negotiations among the
governments shall be conducted on the
basis and true to the principle of the
juridical equality of the states" The
word ''juridical" was a stumbling block
because of its broad definition. and even
now no one seems to know exactly " hat
the reservation means.
Proposed Permanent Court.
Thirty-eight nations voted in favor of
a permanent court of arbftrators at The
Hague. No nation voted in the negative,
but Belgium. Denmark Greece, Roumanta,
Switzerland and Uruguay declined to vote
on the ground that they were not prepared
to "a sent to the proposition; exico, Brazil,
Columbia. Salvador. Guatemala, Haiti,
Venezuela, Santo Domingo, Paraguay,
Panama. Ecuador. Bolivia. Nicaragua,
China and Greece ii ed reseI vations con-
corning the details of the organization.
The original proposition. as presented
by the United States, was a tribunal of
fifteen Judges to hold regular terms each
year at The Hague and to sit as long as
business requires their attendance. All
disputes that do not involve the independ
ence of a nation or the loss of territory
or national honor are to be submitted
after the usual role of procedure in the
Supreme Court of the United States.
At the beg .nning it looked if the plan
would be unanimously adopted. The gen
eral proposition was cOrdia ly approved by
all the delegates but when it became nee
esSaTy to arrange the details the learned
doctors differed. Animosity and distrust
made it impossible for them to agree upon
the number of Judges the manner in
which they should he chosen or how the
proceedings should be conducted Every
nation insists upon having a representative
on the tribunal. which. of course is i'm
practicable. because bench of forty-four
judges would be very cum berSome But
now that the prin cDle has been accepted
and a court has been agreed upon It is
hoped that these details can be satisfac-
torily arranged in the future

recommended by the conference: and as
