MASSACRE in POLISH TOWN.
Hundreds OF People Are Killed Or
Injured.

Warsaw, Poland (By Cable). =
Hundreds of persons were killed or
injured in an anti-Jewish massacre
at Skonitz, a Polish town on the
Austrian border. Peasants were in
stigators of the pogrom and they
are still wildly excited. Cossacks
have temporarily restored order.
Hundreds of Jews fed from the
city and are seeking safety by cross
ing into Austria.
Men, women and children were
cut down indiscriminately by the
rioters. In many instnces women
and girls were mistreated before be-
ing put to death.
Agitators who persuaded the peas
ants the Jews were responsible for the
failure of the agrarian plan for the
appropriation of land instigated tho
pogrom. Just at dawn hundreds of
peasants, armed with scythes. old
swords, harvesting knives and clubs
entered the town and invaded the
ghetto.
One party of 81 Jews was over
taken and 90 killed. while the others
were badly beaten and cut.

cat the proper time he said,
I'VE shall ask for an opportunity to
explain our views on the project we
offered for fortifying the present
permanent Court of Arbitration and
for the organization therefrom of a
tribunal which shall compel the con-
fidence of nations and be the neces-
sary sequel to the general arbitra-
ton agreement which we now Offer"
The committee dealing with the
bombardment of undefended towns
and villages approved the Italian
proposition forbidding such acts.
Upon leaving the sitting, Brigadier
General George B. Davis, one of the
American delegates, remarked ironl-
cally:
Since the time of Julius Caesar
no example exists of an undefended
town being bombarded, but the con-
ference took three weeks to realize
it,
The American delegation has pre-
sented to the peace conference this
proposition:
eff for any reason captured
neutral vessel cannot be tried, the
vessel must be released"
The Peruvian delegation has pre-
septed the following amendment to
the American proposition regarding
the collection of contractural debts:
"The principles established by this
proposition cannot be applied to
differences arising from contracts be-
tween the government of one coun-
try and the foreign subjects of an
other, when the contracts provide
that these differences must be sub
mitted to the judges of local tribu-
nails"
The Venezuelan delegation pre-
sented a declaration on the same
subject, making the same objection
as Peru, with the addition that in
case no contract exists, all diplomatic
means of reaching an understanding
must be tried before recourse is
had to the permanent court of arbi-
tration. The Venezuelan declaration
ends with these words:
"It is understood that said differ
ances are to be settled through
peaceful means without recourse to
coercive measures implying the emf
ployment of military or naval
forces"

HON. JOSEPH H. CHOATE
PLEADS FOR ARBITRATION
Suggests a World Convention Fol
That Purpose.
BIG DAY AT PEACE CONFERENCE
A Declaration That Spain Adheres to
the Principles of Moderation Which
Inspired the American Proposition
Limiting Force for the Collection of
Public Debts.

The Hague (By Cable).-The sit
ting of the Peace Conference Thurs
day was one of the most important
yet held, for interest in the ques-
lions discussed as well as for the
powerful speeches delivered by JOS
eph H. Coate, of the United States,
Luis M. Drago, of Argentine, and
Perez Triana, of Columbia, while in
addition, Spain made declaration
which attracted much attention as
revealing the desire of the Spanish
government to assume kind of
moral tutelage over the Latin-Ameri-
can countries.
SPANS declaration says that that
country adheres to the principles of
moderation, which inspired the
American proposition, limiting force
for the collection of public debts,
these being the principles that the
government and the King have fol-
lowed and will always follow.
Spain sees today" says the dec
laration, las an accomplished fact
what shehas ardently desired since the
last conference, namely, the presence
at The Hague of the representatives
of the Latin-American nations, which
are sisters of ours in language and
In race Spain is disposed to accept
every proposition tending within the
limits of international law to IA
cilitate the legitimate and peaceful
development of the Spanish-Ameri-
can republics. The doctrine just
enunciated by its illustrious author,
DIR. Drago, was not included in the
program; therefore, it could not OBJ
tain our support, but as an earnest
protest against possible wrong from
the use of force, it deserves all SYM
pathy."
In concluding his address Joseph
H. Choate made an eloquent appeal
to the nations to enter into a general
convention, which ought to be en-
tirely distinct and independent, for
the settlement of disputed questions
arising in arbitration.

ACCESSION OF new EMPEROR
Fierce Clashes Between the Japanese
and Natives.

Seoul (By Cable) With the city
guarded by Japanese troops and dis
turbed by grave apprehension of at
tacks, the ceremonies attending the
accession of the Crown Prince to the
throne were carried out at 10 O'Clock
Saturday morning, when the former
Emperor took his leave of the Cabi-
net.
Despite proclamation issued ear
| ly in the morning calling on the peo-
pie to remain in their houses and the
mountain of machine guns intrenched
behind breastworks built in the
| patrolling of the suburbs by militia
and other warlike preparations, the
capital was repeatedly disturbed by
disorder and severe fighting.
The streets were being cleared at
noon, when desultory rifle firing was
heard in different parts of the city,
presumably by the deserters from the
Ping Yang Regiment, whose plotting
continues.
Houses of Ministers Burned.
A concerted effort was made at 2
O'Clock to murder the entire Cabinet!
After haranguing at the Temple of
Heaven a mob of 1900 marched a
mile to the mansion of Lwanyung,
which they sacked and burned. Tha
same fate was then visited on the
homes of the Prime Minister and
others.
The same mob then proceeded to the
home of the Minister of War, near
the old palace, but here they were
met by Japanese guards, who repuls-
ed the rioters, wounding and killing
many.
The rioters surrounding the Pre-
mier's residence were dispersed by
the Japanese police with the assist
ance of the artillery. The Premier
sought refuge in the palace, the other
Ministers going to the Japanese Resi-
dency- General.
The new Emperor is performing
his duties in a purely perfunctory
manner. He is said to show little
strength of character, and the out
look for his administration of public
affairs is not promising.
The Korean Cabinet formally no.
titled the Japanese Government of
the abdication of the Emperor and
the accession of the Crown Prince.
During the night the Imperial Depu-
ties visited the niausoleums and
made the same announcement to tho
spirits of their departed ancestors.
The new Emperor will occupy the
North Palace, the former Emepror
remaining in his old refuge, adjoin-
ing the American and Russian Con-
suIates. The Cabinet continues i'll
office, but on account of their alarm
two men have in turn refused to
accept appointment to the vacant po-
sition of the Household Ministry.
