the article providing for the election OF

ernments consider among themselves how
best to overcome the difficulty which had
baffled the conference. This measure was
carried by votes to 5, there being one
absentee.
In battling for his proposition Mr..
Choate delivered a strong speech.
Senior Esteva, representing Mexico, gave
magnificent dinner to all the leading

was the failure of the proposal for
permanent court of arbitration. Speaking
OF this matter Baron Marschall Won Bieb-

"The great powers are too few to trust
themselves In the hands of the small
powers, but at the same time perma-

COPPER MINES
TO WORK ON
HALF TIME

New York. Sept. 19.-After protracted
sessions OF the directors OF the Amalga-
mated Copper company 1t was announced
yesterday that the output OF the mines
will be cut down TO half the normal
I'VE are prepared 10 meet the situation
squarely," said an officer OF the company
For 80 days and more the output has
been less than the ordinary. We shall now
cut this down definitely To half, and II
there is not any sign or an Improvement
In the situation we shall keep on with
this half-production. There is no sense In
digging stun out OF the ground TO have It
lie idle, and II no betterment is shown
we will make further reduction OF out
put.
'The consumers have very little copper
on hand and they will have to come into
the market for more very soon. The other
mines in the Montana district are no bet
ter of than we are. on account OF the
large increase in the beet industry the
railroads have been tied up on their
freight business. To handle the beet crop
this year $4,000 cars will be needed and
this makes IL difficult to get coal. Amalga-
mated, however. has coal mines OF its
own and has been able TO surmount this
difficulty"

SOUTH CAROLINA =.

Columbia -S--C--Sept- lathe state OF
South Carolina Is finally out OF the liquor
business. on the first OF last February
there was in the warehouse In this city
about 100000 worth of liquors belonging
to the state. When at that time the leg
islature determined to abolish the system
a commission was created to close up the
business, and the last has just heen sold.
So, after IA years. one month and Is days,
the Palmetto brand" Is known no more.
According to predictions Of the friends
that stuck TO the sinking ship. South Car
olina, six months after the revenue from
the whiskey monopoly was cut off should
be financially embarrassed. The actual
condition is confusing TO the friends OF
state control. The indicated cotton yield
is 10000 bales, and this, together with
the seed for which oil mills are clamoring,
will fetch the producers something like
SIS, 100000. or about $l4.000.00O more than
the value of any previous cotton crop pro-
duced in this state. The year will also
be remarkable for the corn production
The value OF this years crop is estimated
at So, 10000. The total value OF these two
crops is about 100000. 600 more than $50.

WEDS AGAIN ;
IN NEW YORK

Syracuse, N. Y. Sept. 19.-William Gould
Brokaw, the millionaire New York society
and clubman and yacht owner, married
Monday at Chittenangp, N. Y. near here,
Miss Mary Morris Blair. the daughter or
James A. Blair, the rich New York
banker.
The ceremony was performed at the
country home at Chittenango. only after
Mr.. Brokaw had tried in vain for several
days to induce clergymen in Syracuse to
tie the knot.
The ministers here fought shy on ac-
count OF the fact that Mr.. Brokaw came
under the ecclesiastical interdction as TO
divorced persons, his first wife, Coralie
C. Coudert niece OF the late Frederic w.
Coudert, the eminent lawyer. having OBJ
tained a separation from him In 1898, in
Providence. r. L. on allegations of cruel
ty and non-support.
Mr.. Brokaw, who came up from New
York several days ago and had been visit
ing at the home OF the Blairs. first broach-
ed the subject of his proposed marriage
10 Miss Blair TO the Rev. DIR. Cardington
of Grace p. K. church, Syracuse.
He refused promptly on the ground that
the canons of the Episcopal church POSI-
lively forbade him marrying anyone who
had been divorced. especially the defend
ant in such a proceeding.
1t is understood that a number or min
listers in other denominations In Syracuse
were also appealed to.
Mr.. Brokaw came into considerable nc
toriety In 1903 when Mrs. Katherine Poll
Ion sued him for s250.000 damages for al
legged breach of promise OF marriage. He
won the case.

. FIXED STAR.

The Hague, Sept i9.-The plan for the
organization of a permanent court or ar
btration which for some days past has
been under the consideration OF special
committee has failed to pass.
A final strenuous effort was made yes
terday to reach an agreement In the mat"
ter of the selection of judges, but 1t prov
ed futile.
Joseph H. Choate of the American dele
cation brought forward yet another Amer
lean suggestion for the election of the ID
Judges by direct vote of the governments,
but this was defeated by nine to five
DR.. Barbosa (BraziD, then withdrew the
Brazilian proposition, but in so doing ne
maintained that the only possible solu-
ton OF this question was for all states
to participate equally in the court. whicn
would insure TO each the nomination of
a Judge and the right of the parties IN
dispute TO choose the judges to deal with
each case

court and remit the complete convention

A dozen bales OF cotton on a low

flames and the fremen summoned by
an alarm from box i31 at Benefit and

AUTOS SPEEDED
TO RUIN BY
GARAGE FIRE

Fire last evening in the garage and au-
tomobile repair shop OF the Providence
Motor Car company at IL Walnut street
almost totally destroyed II automobiles
and damaged considerably dozen more.
The machines damaged and destroyed
and their owners are as follows: Ford.
6-cylinder. property of c. Prescott Knight,
243 Elmwood avenue; Searchmont touring
car, property Of Dutee Wilcox; Franklin.
property Of James Smith. Pawtucket;
Ford, belonging to Eugene NJ. Gavin, this
city: large touring car of James Orr. At
tleboro Mercedes. William Rogers, New

city; touring car, William Loeb. and four
Enrds, the property of ID. W. Flint, owner
OF the garage. There was no insurance
on Mr. Sawin's handsome car. nor on
those belonging to Mr.. Flint, but the 9TH
ers destroyed or damaged were insured.
Dutee Wilcox Flint head OF the Motor
Car company. estimates the loss at s15.-
900.
The fact that the garage was on fire
was discovered at o'clock by J. j. Drew,
who sounded box 237 at Empire and West
minister streets.
The fire started on the ground floor and
swept with rapidity to the second floor.
breaking out on the roof before the arrival
OF the firemen.
The firemen had stiff fight before they
brought the blaze under control. for when
the first pieces OF apparatus arrived the
flames were bursting from the windows
and roof of the building, brick structure.
and the entire garage seemed in danger
Of total destruction. The spread OF the
flames to the roof rendered II necessary
TO pour great quantities OF water into the
building from the Paine street side, as
we'll as from yards adjoining the burning
building.
No one was in the building when the
fire broke out and II had gained such
headway when the department arrived
that Il was practically impossible TO run
any OF the autos outside.
Mr.. Flint thinks electric wires were re-
sponsible for the fire. The short-circuiting
OF a wire in the garage only week or so
ago started a blaze, but at that time the
damage resulting was trtfling. Last eve
ming shortly after o'clock. the foreman
OF the shop. James Myers. with his assist
ant John Sutcliffe. left the garage, being
kept there late on account OF having extra
work to do. IL was a few minutes before
o'clock that Mr.. Drew, boarder In the
house adjoining the garage. saw the blaze.
The gasoline tanks stored in the base
ment was nearly empty last evening and
the fire did not reach the basement. There
was gasoline. however In many OF the
autos, and this caused the flames 20
spread quickly from one machine to an
other.
Several OF the automobiles involved In
the fire were on the first floor and many
others were on the second floor.
The building, which is owned by the
Paine estate, was badly damaged.

OVER 100000 MEN

London. Sept. le.-Between 10000 and 5o,-
600 members of the Boilermaker's society
VIII be locked out Oct 5. Notices TO that
effect are being posted by the shipbuild-
ers Federation. The men affected are en-
pioyed chiefly at the east coast ports, at
Barrows and on the Clyde
Some time ago lockout notices were is
sued because of number OF strikes in
which the men left work without giving
notice and without discussion of their
grievances.
These notices. however, were withdrawn
and what Is known as the Edinburgh
agreement" was entered into. Under this
the representatives of the men stipulated
that such annoying strikes would be
avoided in the future
The society repudiated the action OF it's
representatives and the federation is now
determined to fight the men to finish.
