GREAT BRITAIN TO TAKE iNITlA.
TIVE At SECOND CONFER.
ENcE At THE HAGUE.
STEAD nAkIns Tous OF WORLD
NOTED EDITOR STARTS ON LONG
TRIP IN FuRTHERANcE OF.
PROPOSED PLAN.

Paris, Jan. 9.-William T. Stead of
London, who has arrived here, says in
an interview that he is on his way
around the world in the interest of
peace. He further declares that he is
authorized by the British premier, Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, to say
that Great Britain, If no other country
does so, would at the approaching Sec
ond peace conference at The Hague
raise the question of taking steps to
provide for the maintenance of inter-
national peace. This, MI. Stead says,
will be done in the form of two propo-
%sitions, as follows:
First-That each country participant
ing in the conference appropriate a
sum of money to be used in the propa-
cation of the idea of maintaining in
ternational peace.
Second-That each country partici-
pating in the conference render OBJ
ligatory the observance of article VIII.
of the act of the peace conference of
1899, permitting a third power to ten
der mediation, without giving offense,
between two disputing powers, and
also that the participating powers ex-
tend the scope of article VIII. so as to
bind the s~ignatories, in case of a dec
laration of war, not to begin hostilities
for a fortnight, in which interim
friendly powers would have the right
to intervene in al attempt to adjust
the quarrel.

became anxious about him and
started out to look for him. When
they at last learned of the drowning
accident they at once went to Dora
lake and joined in the efforts to re-
cover the bodies. They are still
there and are being assisted by
several men, among whom are two
or three from the range who came
here to 60 hunting.
Coroner Russell of Grand Rapids
was here today, but decided that no
inquest was necessary. He aided in
preparing the bodies for shipment
to Hibbing, The searching party
from that town will leave here at
2:30 in the morning for Swan River,
from which place they will take an

three men from that village who
were drowned in Dora lake last
Thursday, more definite information
as to the sad accident is at hand

received.
The last of three bodies were re-
covered yesterday afternoon, that

rods from those of Seibel and Healey,
and it is supposed he had made an
attempt to swim to shore after the
boat was overturned.
Seibel's body had been recovered
on Saturday and that of Healey on
Monday. These two were not far
apart and Healey's pack was found
near the body. The boat was up
