Kentucky Gone To the Bad.

Louisville. November 5.--Augustus k. Wilson, republican candidate for gov ernor and the entire republican state ticket have been elected by majorities ranging from 5000 to 10000 and the republicans have carried the city of Louisville for both state and city tickets. James F. Grinstead. republi- can, is elected mayor of Louisville by $500 majority. The next Kentucky legislature will have democratic ma iority on joint ballot and stands pre- sumably for Governor Beckham for United States senator, although there is already some talk of a bolt of some of the democrats to defeat him.
 These are the results of one of the warmest and what seems to have been the squarest election Kentucky has had for years At midnight complete re- turns from 73 of the ll9 kentuck counties had been received and the' gave majority of s6 for Wil!son as against approximately 11.0ep .natorily for Reckham at the last slate election. In addition 10 the 73 counties mentioned

Two Propositions Fail.

One of the two things which failed to take positive form at the conference was obligatory arbitration The United States delegation pressed this opposition to vote and it received 9 out of A votes in the conference. But two or three large powers were not willing to so that far al ths time. They would only agree to announce their indorsement of the principle of the thing The conference, you know, was not one where a majority ruled. Neither were there rules for cut ting off debate and demanding a vote. Diplomacy had to be the rule in bringing results and there was no attempt at force The conference dissolved in the best of harmony
 The second proposition which failed was that dealing with limitation of arma- ments. The attitude of several of the great nation, taken in advance of the conference, made it known that this proposition could not be accomplished. One nation wanted to remain as 1t IS. Another continental nation. which had been subject to attack in the past. was reluctant to reduce its means of defense. Some thought that for a power like Amer lea to urge another power to diminish it's right to arm for protection was good deal like that nation to ask New York to reduce it's police force.
 Tt Is difficult to tell just what con stitutes military power. It is made up of navies and the extent and protec- ton of fortihcations It may consist also of international administration with n power to levy enmasse upon the people. But the conference ex- pressed unanimously q desire to have the governments study the question seriously between now and the next meeting.
 Neutral Attitude.
 "The American delegation stood in favorable position as il was not member of the European concert and our country Is separated widely geo graphically from the great powers and occupies generally neutral attitude. It therefore found itself In a position to take the initiative and to intro duce the many measures which tt pre- sented and was successful Tn carrying through Our delegation made a per i sisteut effort 10 have established i permanent court.

General Porters Views.

Discussing the work of the conference, General Porter said today ''I think it will be fully recognized when the work of the conference is studied and under stood that if this conference had suc- ceeded in adopting only one of the four teen conventions finally agreed upon it would have repaid the nations for bring ing it about.
 War seems remote now. but we have done much to ameliorate the horrors Of 1t, If 1t should occur We have provided for the better protection of prisoners and wounded and for a fuller recognition of the Red Cross and other societies in the interest of humanity.
 This was the first time that all the nations of the globe ever met in amicable conference. The debates were interesting and intelligent There was no acrmony; not a harsh word was uttred.
 "Everywhere was evident an earnest desire to bring the people together. and when the text of the 14 adopted conYen- tions is studied everyone will be struck by their importance, not only affecting the present but as indicating still better results at the next conference. One of our most important works was the agree ment to hold the next conference in eight years-the same period that elapsed be- tween the first and second meetings at The Hague. This, VIC believed, will in sure hereafter the automatic gathering Of peace conferences.

F'rankness compels the prediction that the efforts of the commercial men of the state to prevent further railroad legisla- tion at the special session that assemblies Thursday will be of no avail. Governor Conner has said that the pressure of a. few men of business will not stand with him at the same time that the great body of the citizenship of the states does not join in the movement In other words petitions from commercial clubs are taken to be from few men. while the voters who put him in the office on a strenuous ant-railroad plantform, are legion and he takes 1t that he is obliged by the size of the vote and the expression of the platform to work the problem out
 However, a man or set of men may feel on the question and however much the business men may feel that the extra ses- sion is bad policy at this time, the facts in the case are that the opposition has not made a specially strong showing against it. Thoughtful men believe that there is a strong feeling of regret that the lawmakers are to meet just at this time and 1t is indicated by many things that this feeling Is widespread. but 1t has not been centralized and presented in tagible form so as to show up any thing like its strength. There are many men who believe that the litigation should be fought out to the end and a decision arrived at so that there will be no more trouble about the law.

Garber Files Answer.

Attorney General A. M. Gaiber, with associate counsel for the state, has made answer in the United States court to the applicat ton of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company for an injunc- tion to prevent solicitors and sheriffs from interfering with the road for refusal to obey rate and regulation laws that have been enjoined by the federal court. It is denied that the governor of the state has acted in such way as to reflect upon the federal court It is also denied that the federal court has the right to enjoin criminal proceedings.

General Porter Tells of Work
 Bone At The Hague
GREAT RESULTS ATTAINED
Vie"'s of General Porter Are Extreme ly Optimistic Over The Hague Con ference and the Results Which
 Will Accrue.

New York November 5.-Gen. Horace Porter and Joseph H. Choate. two of the American ambassadors to the recent peace conference at The Hague. returned home today on the steamer Kron Prinzessin Ce- cilia and will go on to Washington in a few days to submit a report to the President.
 Both General Porter and MT. Choate expressed themselves as being entirely satisfied with the results of the second conference. Because two of the princi- pal propositions before the conference, obligatory arbitration and limitation of ornaments, failed to take positive form, MT. Choate said the idea prevailed in some quarters that little had been ae complshed. This view, he declared, would be dispelled when the results of the con ference were studied and their far-reach- ing effect fully realized
 No less than IA conventions, dealing with various phases of war were adopted, and the conference also declared in favor of many more propositions, among them the doctrine of obligatory arbitration. One of the principal conventions adopted unanimously was the proposition offered by the American delegation through Gen eral Porter and designated the Porter proposition" This convention prohibits the use of armed force for the recovery of contractual debts until all efforts at arbitration have failed. The importance of the convention was emphasized by the fact that 1t was signed by every cred itor and debtor nation. Article of the
 onvention reads: I'd contracting pow Y. not fffal In armed force for the recovery of con tractual debts claimed from the govern ment of one country by the government of another country as due to it's citizens. However, this stipulation shall not ap- ply when the debtor state refuses or leaves without reply an offer of arbitra- ton, or in case of acceptance. renders impossible the establishment of a com- promise, or after arbitration does not conform to the award"

NEW YORK. April 4-E. H. Har-
riman made the following statement
relative to the recent exchange Of
correspondence between himself and
President Roosevelt:
Il do not intend to continue this
controversy. Everybody knows there
was a contest for the senatorship in
1904 between Black and Depew and
there could not possibly have been
any other candidate. There was no
bargain whereby money was to
be raised in consideration OF
having Depew appointed am
bassador to France or made United
States senator. and my letter to
Webster does not 50 state. That
part of the agreement was for the
purpose or narmonizing the Black
and Depew forces. il it became neces-
sary.
