Washington, July 3O.-Secretary

British ambassador, spent more than
an hour in conference Saturday dis
cussing, it is understood, the details
which must be arranged prior to the
delivery of formal invitation to the
proposed conference on the limitations

No official report was afforded, but
it was said the British government
probably would not insist further upon
preliminary conference and would
not interpose any serious objection to
having the conference convened early
in November.
1t also developed that the French
government is not adverse to November

as the date for the first meeting and
that unofficially Japan and China have
indicated their willingness to accept
that date.
Satisfaction with recent developments
was expressed by officials and there
were indications that the invitations be
sent out early next week.

Embargo on Dyes and
American Valuation

Washington, July @-Whether the
American valuation provision shall be
retained in the Fordney tariff bill and
whether the dye embargo section shall
be retained will be decided by the
senate finance committee before hear
ings are held on Thursday.
Monday and Tuesday will be given
over to discussions Of the domestic
valuation plan and the dye question
viii be considered Wednesday, after
which the committee will meet execu-
lively to thresh out its program.
Agreement as to the course on both
questions was reached after discus
sions made it evident that the two
subjects would crop up continuously
and delay the hearings. Chairman PEN
rose had said earlier in the week that
the committee probably would decide
the policy on American valuation next
week and the agreement was made to
include dyes as a means of speeding
up action.

Seluer Explosions Rock
Minneapolis; Fifteen
AreTalcetl to Hospitals

Crowds began to gather and forced
their way to the scene of the explo-
sions in spite of the efforts of the
police to keep the people back.
Men in the crowd finally assisted
police and firemen in forming a fire
line Hardly had the crowd been driven
away from the blazing manholes, how
ever, when second explosion across
the street, in front of the United
Cigar Store, wrecked the store and in
jured more than a score of men and
women.
One man standing near a manhole
when the top blew out was thrown
several feet and severely bruised. Two
other men standing near were thrown
down by the force of the explosion and
fell into the manhole, from which
flames were shooting, as in the case of
the earlier explosions. Firemen rush
ed to their rescue and they were pull
ed out before being seriously burned
The third explosion occurred half
way up the block on Nicollet avenue
The manhole in front of the Stiles
building at this number, caused prop
erty destruction, but no one was in
jured, the crowd by this time being
kept away by fire lines established at
Fifth street and Seventh street.
The Stiles building is a five story
building, with jewelry stores on the
first floor and offices above.
Every window in the building from
the first floor to the roof was blown
out, glass falling into the street The
stocks Of the Weld & Sons jewelry
store and that of the Joseph III. Green

Minneapolis, July 3O.-Fifteen per-
sons were taken to hospitals and con-
siderable damage caused by a series of
explosions in the downtown sewer
system here late Saturday. Fire
started after the. explosions and flames
shot high into the air from manholes.
The fire is believed to have started
from short circuit in an electric pow
er cable. The first explosion occurred
shortly after 1890 p. M, at Sixth
street and NicolIet avenue, in the
heart of the loops district.
Several thousand persons quickly
gathered and police had difficulty in
keeping the curious ones out of the
danger zone. Many persons were
knocked down by subsequent explos-
ions and others were cut by flying
glass.
Fear was expressed by firemen and
police that the fire would spread
through the entire sewer system of the
city. Fire Chief G. W.. Ringer said
the fire department was powerless to
stop the flames. An effort was being
made to have the electric light and
power currents shut off in the hope
that further explosions might be pre-
vented.
fnteen years ago similar eXplO-
sion occurred and fire spread through
the entire sewer system, causing great
damage.
Five explosions had rocked the
downtown section up to midnight. They
at various intervals at Fifth
street and then Sixth street and Nicol-
let avenue.
The United Cigar Stores COM
pany's store at Sixth and Nicollet was
badly damaged by the third blast.

MOULD
nation 8 VIEWS
Viscount Bryce Discuss
es International
Relations.

Williamstown, Mass. July 3O.-The
development of international relations
as begun in the days of ancient people
and as continued to the present day,
when they have been shattered by a
desolating war and not resettled by
real peace" was taken up by Viscount
James Bryce Saturday night in the
first public lecture before the Insti-
tute of Politics now meeting at WI
liams college.
Broadly speaking" he declared,
international relations are what the
leaders of peoples make them, because
under every political constitution that
has been devised the many are led by
the few"
The opening Of the Iectare of the in
stitutes series attracted an audience
that filled Grace hall to capacity. the
members and guests being augmented
BY hundreds of visitors from all parts
of New England.
War and Peace.
There are two relations in which
nations stand to one another-that of
war and that of peace. Our present
aim is therefore to understand what
have been the causes of war and what
may be the sources of peace" said Wis
count Bryce.
The starting point for an inquiry
into the relations of communities is
the nature of man, or, shall l say, man
as he was in a state of nature. Let
us try to remember through the whole
course of our inquiry into the rela-
tons Of nations, two fundamental prop
ositions. One is that every
independent political community is,
by virtue Of its independence, in
state of nature towards other COM
munities. being subject to no control
except that which public opinion, or
the fear of consequences that may fol-
low from disregarding public opinion,
may impose.
Improve Human Nature.
'The other is that the prospect of
improving the relations of states and
peoples to one another depends on the
possibility of improving human nature
itself. A sound and wide view of ma
tional interests, teaching the peoples
that they would gain more by the CO.
operation of communities than by their |
conflict, may do much to better those |
relations, but in the last resort the |
question is one of moral progress of |
the individual men who compose the
Lord Bryce briefly sketched the
careers of Napoleon Bonaparte, Bis
narck, Cavour, Kossuth and Mazzini.
II note the careers of these men,"
le went on, "as instances to show how
arge is the unpredicable element in
he field of international as well as in
hat of domestic politics. Modern
writer's claiming to be scientific try to
'epresent the general cause as every
hing and the. individuals as no more
han particular beings in whom the
endencies of an age are embodied"

.F0RDNEY WANTS
TAX BILL GUT Of
HALF A BILLION
No Definite Decision
Reached on Proposed
Revisions So Far.
General Shifting of
Burden Is Predicted
by Committee.

Washington, July 30-RepubIicans
OF the house ways and means com
mittee conferred Saturday for a devel-
opment of views on tax revision Many
divergent opinions were developed but
no decisions were reached. Emphasiz-
ing that he was speaking solely for
himself, Chairman Fordney said after
wards. that the goal toward which he
would strive would be a cut of half q
billion dollars in the tax bill next year.
his opinion was that by the exercise
of rigid economy the government could
be operated for three and half billion
dollars in 1922 instead of the four
billions estimated by the treasurer.
Members were less optimistic
Favor Repeal Freight Tax.
Practically all members of the COM
mlttee are IN sympathy with the re-
peal of the transportation tax both
passenger and freight but they have
not yet fixed upon q new Source of
revenue to offset the loss of $3.50, ,0OO,-
600 to the treasury that this would in
volve.
Chairman Fordney's idea is that if
the repeal of the whole is found i'm
practicable. a start might be made by
cutting them in half next year and
eliminating the balance the year fol-
lowing.
May Shift Burden.
While committee Republicans-and
they will frame the tax billhave reach
ed no definite decisions on the proposed
revlsions. it appears to be fairly well
that there will be no alter
ations in the normal rates on individ-
ual incomes or in the amount of exemp-
tons allowed. There probably will be
some shifting of tax burdens in other
directions and new sources of taxation
nay be found.
Asked about the repeal of what the
has characterized as ''nuis-
lnce" taxes such as that on soda water,
Mr.. Fordney said smilingly that all be
axes in the bill were ''nuiseces.'
