Delegates tc Peace Conference Have Had Good Time.
 The Hague. Oct. 19.--While the Hague Peace Conference has failed to accomplish anything in the way of limitation of armaments, it has been a great social success.
 Entertainments of all kinds have been given for the delegates. who although they consider the time spent in the meetings of the conference has been entirely wasted. have had the time of their lives.
 The hero of the conference was the Brazilian delegate. Senor Barbesa. who is a probable future President of Bra gil. He had a notable struggle with the American delegates on what is called the Drago doctrine (named af- ter the Venezuelan delegate There were stormy. scenes between Barbesa and Joseph H. Choate. who tried to browbeat the Brazilian in courtroom fashion. but was beaten. The affair ended in something like personal en- mity between the two delegates. and called forth reprimand from Wash ington for the American delegates.
 The Marquis de Several, Portuguese Ambassador to England. and King Ed wards Court Jester" was another pop ular delegate. His wit and charm of manner gained him a host of friends and he was much in request for social gatherings.
