RUSSIA AT THE HAGUE
Her Policy Will Be to Do Nothing
That Will Lead to Any
Friction.

St Petersburg June 5-The deliber-
atoms concerning the policy to be pur-
sued by Russia at the Hague peace
conference, has come to an end and
Foreign Minister Iswolsky has taken
the final draft of the instructions to
the delegates to Peterhof for the ap-
prevail of the emperor.
The keynote Of these instructions
is to avoid everything that might pos
sibly lead to friction with other ma
lions and interfere with the success
OF the conference, and this programme
will involve the abandonment of sew
eral points at issue between Russia
and Japan over the latter's conduct
of the late war.

TROUBLE FOR COAL CARRIERS
Rod in Pickle for Them-Other Rail-
way Affections.

Washington, June Sit is under
stood that the matter of prosecution
of the coal-carrying railroads charged
with violation of the Sherman anti
trust act was considered at the cab
met meeting The question was gone
into fully, and it is believed that the
department of justice will soon take
steps to bring the matter into the
courts. Attorney General B6naparte
said he had not yet had a conference
with the president on the subject Of
the proposed suits, but it was his ex-
pectation that he with other members
of the cabinet would meet with the
president within the next two or three
days and determine upon a line of ac-
ton.
New York, June 5.-The demurrer
interposed by the Great Northern Rail-
way company to indictments charging
the granting of rebates was overruled
by Judge Holt in the United States
court. The court holds that although
the contract upon which the indict-
ments were based was made prior to
the passage of the Elkins act it was
not completed until after the act went
into effect. This. he rules, would be
sufficient, If the charges are proven, to
place the company on defense at a
final hearing.

life, Frederick William Hoen, the fug-

bing a safety deposit box of about $780,
600 worth of securities, was brought to
Indianapolis from Cincinnati by de-
tective. A surprise came to the police
department when Mrs. Mold, through
one Of her friends, telephoned to Cap
tain Bray and announced that she
would aid in the prosecution Of Hoen.
She Changed Her Mind.
The speaker told Bray that the wo-
man had decided that Hoen had caused
her so much trouble that she now
thinks that he ought 60 be punished,
Mrs Mold said she would defray the
expenses of bringing Hoen back to In
dianapolis. Mrs. Mold at the time of
signing a warrant alleging grand lar

the police that she did not wish her

the warrant because ic was the best

Paris. May THE celebration of
the annual festival of Joan of Arc at
Orleans commenced today and will
extend through tomorrow. The festi-
vities cOmmemorated the anniversary
of the delivery of the city from the
English. A great military torchlight
parade will be held this evening, and
the principal procession from the bat
tlefield to the cathedral will take place
tomorrow. The military will have
precedence over the clergy in the
pageant. the latter being allowed to
participate only in their capacity of
private citizens. The clerics may
wear vestments and carry banners as
usual, but any display of crosses or
reliquaries has been strictly prohibit
ed. Civil and military officials will
take no part in the religious rites at
the cathedral, but will hold secular
services in the city hall, where the
procession will begin and end. The
benedictiOn formerly pronounced on
the site of the battle will be abolished.
The entire garrison at Orleans will
take part in the festival. Owing to
the strict rules laid down by Premier
Clemenceau, the observance will be
stripped almost entirely of its re-
ligious significance as rebuke. says
the premier, ''to those who now dare
advertise themselves by means of

Hitchcock Was Nearly Stung.

Raymond Hitchcock, the star of
Henry w. Savage's "a Yankee Tour
list" Company, was in New Orleans not
many months ago and took the OPP
portunity of going to the races.
During the afternoon the comedian
cashed several tickets. the result of
good guesses ON which horse would
win. He was feeling happy after the
last race and started for the automo-
bile which was to convey him back
to his hotel. AS he was about to
climb into the machine he felt hand
on his arm and man shouted in his
ear:
Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put crimp in the bookies
today"
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man
and not wishing to show 1t.
"Say, want to speak with you, con-
fidentially," said the stranger.
"All right, what is it," asked the
comedian.
"Well, 1 am up against some hard
luck today. They cleaned me and I
want to get home. Now, don't let any
one of these people see you, but slip
me- enough foor car fare, will you?"
Sure" said Hitchcock, placing his
hand in his pocket. Then he passed
and queried: Where do you live?"
Vancouver" was the answer.
Hitchcock took flying leap for his
machine, and unless the visitor at
New Orleans are more gullable, the
impecunious one is still looking for
car fare.

Second class mail matter, including

Canada will advance the rate from 1

be according to all expectations that
the circulation of American news

will be considerably cut down. The
principal reason advanced by Canada
for the increase in rates is that the
