erai Session for a Month.

The Hague, June 21.-The various
delegations to the peace conference
met during the day and selected mem
bers to be assigned to the four gen.
eral committees AS in many in
stances, especially in the case of the
smaller delegations, the members will
be assigned to two or more commit
tees it will be necessary for the COM
mittees to assemble on different days.
The real work of the conference will
be done in the committees.
A month is expected to elapse be-
fore the next plenary sitting, as the
plan is to have the committee work
we'll advanced before again calling a
full conference together. This was
the procedure in 1899, when therapwas
period of twenty-eight days be-
tween the appointment of the commit
tees and the presentation of the first
report
NJ. Nelidof has received petitions
from the committees of Armenian and
Albanian organizations praying that
the conference consider some measure
for alleviating theskeplorable position
of these people. Similar petitions are
pouring in on the conference from all
over the world. The petitions are
filed with the secretary and are &C.

OPPOSES GENERAL STRIKE
Russian Social Democratic Conference
Adjourns.

St. Petersburg, June 21.-The Social
Democratic conference, which has just
ended in Finland, adopted resolution
against the proclamation of general
strike on the ground that an attempt
to walk out now would only play into
the hands of the government.
Many of the Social Democratic dep
uties have returned to st. Petersburg,
but several others, including A. G.
Feedoroff Of Ryazan and M. NJ. Fo-
micheff of Tauride, have been arrested
and incarcerated in the fortress Of st.
Peter and St. Paul. The fortress is
crowded with high political prisoners,
even the soldiers barracks being given
over to the prisoners uses, tents be-
ing erected for the garrison.
Judging from the precedent of the
signers of the Viborg manifesto, whose
trials are announced to begin only
next month, the recently arrested So
cial Democratic deputies are facing a
long period of preliminary imprison-
ment.

Chicago, June 21.-Tt was agreed be-
tween the attorneys in the Standard
Oil case that the information asked
for by Judge Lands relative to the
financial condition of the Standard Oil
company shall be given by June rs.
Before this agreement was reached At
torney John S. Miller, acting for the
Standard Oil company, said:
I'VE do not desire to be misunder-
stood in this matter of agreeing upon
da+o-We dasirn tn have it under
stood that we make no promises to
furnish that which the court has asked
from us and we reserve the right to
oppose it. There is some question in
our minds as to the materiality, rel
evancy and propriety of the courts
action. Such an occasion as this has
never come within our experience
For the information of counsel
said Judge Lands, Il will say that =
has been the rule of this court to find
out the condition of defendant to be
fined before imposing a penalty. Re
Gently considerable time was con-
sumed by this court in sitting out the
financial status OF the church and
school furniture companies before the
fines were imposed"
I'VE are unable to see," said Attor-
ney Miller, why the wealth or pow
erty of a defendant is material when
it comes to deciding the guilt or inno-
cence or in fixing the punishment. OF
course our experience is very limited
in these matters and we may be in
error"
The court cannot presume to have
greater experience than COUNSEL"

just pointed out is rule of this

LOODSHED IN FRANCE
Serious Conflicts Between Troops
and RebelliOus Peasants.
SITUATION SEEMS CRITICAL
Three Persons Killed and One Hun
dred Injured at Narbonne-Presi-
dent Countermands State Banquet
in Honor of the King of Siam.

Paris, June 21.-Owing to the fact
that the censorship is in operation in
the South only brief items of news
from the scenes of the wine growers
demonstrations are reaching Paris.
These, however, show that the con-
flicts which have taken place between
the troops and mobs were more san
culinary than at first suspected.
At Narbonne three persons were
killed and fully 100 soldiers and civil
ians, including q score of women, are
said to have been wounded, several of
them sustaining fatal injuries. The
troops, who were ordered to fire in the
air, shot straight at the mob besieging
them in the courtyard of the sub-pre-
lecture.
A whole army corps has been put
in motion to deal with the rebellious
wine growers, but the government
claims that the forces now are so dis
tributed as to isolate the different Sec
tons and render 1t practically impos-
sible to effect a general mobilization
of the disaffected people. Three of
the Argelliers committeeman who fled
to escape arrest have surrendered to
the authorities and were placed in
Jail at Montpelier.
It is announced that the state ban
Quet which was to have been given in
honor of the king of Siam has been
countermanded in consequence of the
bloodshed in the south of France.
Action Causes Excitement.
The presidents decision created
some excitement and it emphasized
the gravity of the situation.
The newspapers report another at
tempt to burn the sub-prefecture at
Narbonne A mob piled straw at the
gates and then set fire to it. Gen
darmes fired from the upper stories
and the attackers fed.
It is also announced that there has
been further shooting in the streets of
Narbonne and many persons have
been wounded.
Narbonne is described as presenting
remarkable spectacle after the
nights battle. The paving stones
used in the assault on the troops en-
EuInber streets, the walls are
marked with bullets, windows are
broken and the cafes are wrecked, the
furniture having been used for build
ing barbados. Broken bottles used
as clubs litter the streets everywhere.

READ |: Al TO THE JURY |
Articles in Miners Magazine De-
mandatory Of Steunenberg.
OFFERED TO SHOW ANIMUS
Court Permits the Introduction of All
Those Published Prior to Govern
or's Assassination but Excludes
Everything Since That Date.

Boise, Ida, June 21.-The articles
denunciatory of Frank Steunenberg
and other figures of the labor wars of
Idaho and Colorado, published in the
Miners Magazine, sRre read to the
jury that is trying Gillian d. Hay
wood for murder Judge Wood per-
mitted the introduction of almost all
of the articles offered by the state as
showing the animus toward Steunen-
berg of Haywood and the other lead
ers OF the Western Federation of Min
ers and excluded all of the articles
published after Steunenberg was
killed.
The most important of the articles
read to the jury by Senator Borah was
entitled The Passing of Steunen-
berg" 1t appears in the magazine
issued for January, 1901. It begins:
"On the 10th day of January, 1901,
Frank Steunenberg of Idaho will sink
into obscurity from public view,
where he shall forever lie buried,
damned for the outrages he committed
upon the workingmen of the Occur
d'Alenes during the past twenty
months"
Continuing, it says:
Helped Elect Him Governor.
-Four years ago, when the president
of the Western Federation of Miners
helped make this monstrosity gov
ernor of Idaho, he said he did not have
$40 in cash, but four years later, in
1900, he was able to spend $4,000 to
manipulate the Democratic state con-
vention.
In conclusion the article says:
when men and women will bless
the name of Paul Corcoran, the model
husband, the honest man, imprisoned
by this filthy reptile, Steunenbergs
name will be uttered with loathing
Farewell, Steunenberg, once governor
of Idaho; your political career is end
ed. You have done everything in
your power to send the men who made
you governor to the penitentiary and
worse than all you stand before the
world a convicted perjurer before a
congressional Investigating commits
sion But srn"+~01r00i. has long since
lost the blush of shame and your
damnable deeds will never appeal to
your manhood, for such you never
possessed. Your sole ambition was
money, which, in your estimation, was
superior to honor but you are gone
and upon your political tombstone
shall be inscribed the indelible words
Here lies hireling and traitor"

pears that the district attorney, in dis
cussing a decision of the supreme
court granting a change of venue in the
case of Dwyer, convicted of the muir
der of Williams, made a severe attack
upon the supreme bench and chal-

in deciding the case. When he had
finished speaking the court endorsed
his violent language and said that if
they erred through ignorance it was
pitiable. and if from design, 1t was
lamentable. The court made an order
that the attorney general ascertain if

ney for contempt if the language i'm
puted to them in the papers is correct
