w. T. Stead, the editor of the
Review of Reviews, has arrived in
New York city on the Cunarder
Caronia. He is here to advocate
worldwide peace, and will be the
guest of Andrew Carnegie while in
this country. He also, he says,
wants to learn the wishes of Amer
leans and the American govern
ment concerning The Hague con-
ference.
NEW YORK, April civilian T. Stead,
editor CT The Review of Reviews, and
international advocate of peace, is here as
the guest of Andrew Carnegie to attend the
opening of the Carnegie Institute in Pitts
burg. and also to attend the peace confer
ence in this city. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Stead. who visits America for the first
time. In discussing his visit he said that
besides coming the guest of Mr. car
negie to attend the celebration in Pitts
burg on April IL and the peace conference
in this city April Is and II, he had
third reason for visiting America, and
this was to take soundings in influential
quarters as to the wishes of Americans
and the American government concerning
The Hague conference.
lone idea that 1 have in coming to
America is this: That Americans should
carry one step further the principle 7hich
Mr.. Hollis incorporated in The Hague
convention of 1889. Article recon-
mended that the usages Of duels-Wh1ch
are nothing less than private wars-Shouid
be extended to wars which are interna-
tional. No action had been taken on this
recommendation, though it was unani-
mouSly made.
Should Be Obligatory.
"The conference should make it obliga-
tory. Article 8, you may remember, rec
ommends that when two powers have a
dispute they are unable to adjust by the
ordinary means of diplomacy they should
not resort to hostilities the moment they
sever diplomatic intercourse, but they
should call a special mediator just as the
principals in a duel would have their Sec
onds, make last appeal for peace, who
shall have a period not exceeding thirty
days in which to try and settle the dispute
and so establish peace without recourse to
war and so avert the awful bloodshed
which must accompany the settlement Of
trouble by war;
How would this operate in practice?"
Mr.. Stead was asked.
ut would give the world an absolute
guarantee from the sudden outbreak of
war and so restore more confidence to the
world. Again, it would place the delirium
of war under the control of the common,
sober sense of the community, and there
would be no action taken when nations
were hot with anger. If this section had
been acted upon neither the South African
nor the Russo-Japanese war would have
| broken out as they did"

geIes-scoffs at Idea of American
Japanese Hostilities.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 28.-Kibu-
jiro Ishii, director of the department
of commerce of Japan, arrived in Los
Angeles Tuesday. In an interview he
said:
Il find that great change has come
over the japanese who have left their
land for America, and especially
those In California. They seem to be-
come imbued with the American spir-
it of progress and all seem very happy.
Surroundings and conditions here are
much better than any place which
have visited so far. OF the 1900
japanese In and about Los Angeles
l have not found single case of
want"
When questioned about the possibiI-
ity of hostilities between the United
States and Japan, Ishii smiled and
said:
Japan would not fight America un.
der any circumstances. The people
of this country have done so much
for our nation that II is an absolute
absurdity to imagine anything of the
kind. 1t is what you call joke"
Speaking of conditions in the Phil
ippine islands, he continued:
"The greatest defense for Japan
against foreign powers at this time is
the ownership of the Philippine
islands by the United States. Korea
and Manchuria are fully adequate to
care for our rapid increase In popula-
tion, some 100000 people emigrating
to those countries each year"
Ishii was rendered banquet Tues
day night by prominent citizens of
this city.

COURT AT ALBA.

Special to Daily Herald.
Abba, Aug. 2S.--Lelia Sheffey Tay-
lor, formerly of Oskaloosa, has filed
petition with the county clerk, in
which she is asking damages in the
sum of $4,000 from |. H. Hutchinson

that shall prevent either Hutchinson
or his wife from coming on her prem
