erNrENo1NG Harry Orchard to B

SENTENCING Harry Orchard to be
executed on May Is. Judge Wood at
Caldwell, Idaho, yesterday, not only
recommended remission Of the punish
ment he was compelled under the law TO
decree. but mads it the occasion Of
charging William D. Haywood and
George A. Pe;tibone with having es-
capped conviction, when not innocent, oil
participation in the murder OF former
Governor Frank 5teuuenberg. The judge
declared Orchard had told the truth
against these defendants, aud ought not
TO die after he had performed that SerV-
ice The fact that Haywood and Petit
bone escaped verdict Of guilty did not
impesch Orchards remarkable story
the court held, because, under the Ia"
of Idaho, the testimony alone of an &C
complete was not sufficient to produce
their conviction. This crime was an
atrocious one and TIE public shares
Judge Woods opinion that Haywood
and Pettibone were equally guilty With
Orchard.

TOR the examination Of the Secretary OF
the Navy, regarding submarine idstters,
the committee sat at one end oil the

of the charges, sat at the other. Mr..

ALL but three Of The treaties agreed
to at The Hague Conference have been
ratified by the Senate. The excepted
treaties, which are still held under con-
sideralion, are the most important ana
are those relating to the pacific settle
ment of international disputes, the liui'
tstion Of the employment Of force In
the collection of eontractual claims
and the establishment Of an interns-
tional court of appeals 10 priz' cases.
These are the very three conven'
tons about which all the discus
sions at the conference turned; they alone
mark steps in advance. The other seven
or eight, while important, we're not sub
jec,s of controversy, and were concerned
with the conduct of warfare. The peace
treaties seem to have as much difficulty
in getting through the Senate as they
had getting through the conference.

today that Roger O. Sullivan, present
