to again block the progress OF the

the delegates appeared confident
that the decision would be for a

Both Of the meetings planned for
today by subdivisions Of the con-
ference were cancelled because Of
the storm. The postponed Japan

reached on collateral subjects.
In the Chinese eastern railway dis

developed which seem likely to de-
