Colonel Quinnox brought news from
the castle. Yetive's uncle and aunt, the
Count and Countess Halfont, were
eagerly expecting her return, and the
city was preparing 10 manifest its Joy
in the most exuberant fashion. As
they drew up 10 the gates the shouts OF

travellers. Then the boom Of cannon
AMI the blare Of bands broke upon the
air, thrilling Beverly TO the heart She
wondered how Yeuve could be SC

this homage.

PROPOSAL OF THE BRITISH
Septennial Peace Conference With
Cut and Dried Program Ar
ranged by Big Powers.

The Hague. July 30.-The British dele
cation are working on a proposition

considerable surprise
As already cabled, the representatives
of the United States have been privately
discussing with other leading delegates
the ACCESSIBILITY of the United States pre-
sentinS a proposition for the periodical
meeting of the conference, this PROPOSE
ton suggesting that it should meet quiz
ennially on June 2, beginning in 1912
The British delegation went ahead of
the Americans, having already communi-
Gated in the strictest secrecy to only a
few delegates its proposition on the same
subject establishing that the conference
should sit septennially. but that two years
before the meeting special representatives
of Great Britain, France. Germany, the
United States, Russia, Italy, Austria and
japan should meet to prepare the work
for the conference, prearrang1ng every
thing connected with its organization and
the matters to be taken under Amusement
Thus when the conference meets again
its program will already be so studied by
each country that satisfactory agreements
will be the more easily reached. In addI-
ton, although nothing has been said
against Russia, the conference will no
longer be mOnopOliZed by one nation, and
will not depend, as heretofore on the will
of the sovereign of that country for its

Near virqen City.

Rudolph Kuchler returned yesterday
from the oil fields near Virgen City,
Utah, where he, with David Mattson,
spent some time looking over the prop
erty owned by Nevada people upon which
Is located well that produced 100 bar
rels day. Mr.. Kuchler and Mr.. Matt
son were representing ID. H. Peery and
Harry s. Joseph, who are interested with
them in the venture and together they
have purchased $50 acres of land adjacent
to that upon which is located the original
well The purpose is to sink well with
in one thousand feet of the present one,
the capacity Of which ii is claimed can
readily be doubled. II is the intention to
incorporate a new company. AT the pres
ent tme Mr.. Joseph is negotiating for a
rig. The original well is located one and
one-haf miles from Virgen City, and can
be reached either by the way of MOdena
or Lund. If the present plans are car
r1ed out, the new company will build a
pipe line into Moapa. The quality of the
oil is said to be the same as that used by
the Southern Pacific company for the OPP

KuchleF is very enthusiastic over the out
look and is satisfied that the venture
will be a success.

GOOD PROSPECT
OF BIG STRIKE

speaking at the annual meeting of their
respective companies this afternoon. en-
phaucally refused to recognize the ANAL
gamated Society of Railway Servants
the executive committee of which had de-
manded the right to represent the rail-
road employees in an effort to settle their
alleged grievances. This, it is feared
may result in momentous labor troubles
next month.
4 conference of delegates representing
all grades of employees of every railroad
in England and Wales was held i'm Biz
mlngham last November, and a program
was drawn up which included demands
Tor an eight-hour day, increased wages
and the recognition of the Amalgamated
society by the companies. Last Nav there
were series of demonstrations through
out the United Kingdom by railroad en-
ployeS agitating their demands and res
olutions were passed to call a strike in
August If the men should fail in their
efforts to get concessions from the rail-
road companies concerned.
Both the chairmen declared today that
their directors always were ready to dis
cuss grievances with the employees them
selves, but they absolutely declined to
permit the interference of a third party
Lord Claude John Hamilton asserted that
he intended at all costs to preserve for
the directors of his company and the
staff they employed the right to con-
tinue to enjoy the privileges of free Cit
liens, untrammeled by the coercion or
tyranny of an outside, irresponsible body
of men,
1t is understood that the mana gements
of all railroads in the United Kingdom
have similarly agreed to refuse to recog-
nize the Amalgamated Society of Railway
Servants as an intermediary between the
directors and the men.
