Prior to the formal assembling the com- missioners met in their private conference room and selected Reginald T. Tower of the British diplomatic service, formerly attached to the legation at Washington and recently minister to Siam, to be secre- tary of the commission. J. R. Carter, sec- ond secretary of the embassy, and Mr Pope, a representative of the government, were appointed as the secre- taries. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone was subsequently chosen chairman of the com- minsion. It was announced that oral arguments would commence September 15 and Lord Alverstone exprossed the hope that they would be finished by October 9. Magnificent Conference Room, The conference room of the Forelgn office, where the conferees met, is the chofcest apartment In the British public -buflding. It {s a magnificent salon, with Gothie celling and paneled walls, and has been the scene of many notable gatherings. It was generally used by the late Lord Balisbury to recelve the guests after din- ners to the diplomatic corps. At the end of the room a platform had heen constructed and on it was a long desk with a blus covering. Behind this desk were six comfortable chairs, which were occupied by the commissioners, whose fpternational reputations emphasized the nportance of the occasion. Eithu Root and Lord Alverstone sat in the center. Beparate tablés were provided for counsel. Canadian counsel were the first to arrive In the chamber. They were followed by John W. Foster, formerly sec- retary of state, and his assistants, who ‘were accompanied by Ambassador Choate. The commissioners came in a few min- wutes later and immediately began a private conference, which resulted In the selection ©f the officers, after which they exchanged eredentials and took the oath required by the treaty. Take Their Seats. A few minutes after 11 o'clock the com- ‘mipefon took thelr weats, Senutor Turner on the extreme right, then Prof. Bir Louls Jett, formerly of the superior court of Que- ‘Bec, Neutenant governor of the province of Quebec, and professor of ‘civil laws; Mr. Root, Tord Alverstons, Senator Lodge, A. B.

Lord Alverstone, after formally an- nouncing that the commission was in ses- slon, and stating that he had been selected president, an honor which he highiy appre- clated, asked counsel when they desired to begin the oral arguments. " Sir Robert B. Finlay, the attorney gen- eral, on behalf of the British counsel, sug- gested that at least two weeks would be required for preparation, to which Judge John M. Dickinson, representing the Amer- foan counsel, assented, though he said the ‘American counsel would be ready in a week. Lord Alverstone asked when the oral ar- guments would be finished, and Attorney Ceneral Finlay suggested October 15, but his jordship remarked that he thought a shorter period was advisable, and October 9 was fxed upon. ¥Five Dinys Each Week. The commlssion’ decided to sit five days per week, commencing Septamber 15, and excluding Saturdays, and to be In session from 11 &. m. to 4 p. m. dally, and granted permission for a iimited number of repre- wentatives of the press to attend the sit- ags. In order thut the presentation of the cases may be exbaustive, It has been arranged that three of counsel for each government shall make arguments, the British opening and being followed alternately by Ameri- cans and Mritish, the former securing the wvdvantage of delivering the closing argu- ment. The commission then removed the in- Junction of secrecy on all documents hither- to exchanged, and the, sitting was ad- journed, the commissioners, agents and counsel proceeding to the quadrangle, where they were photographed. The documents covering the American presentation of the case make a total of about 1100 pages. In addition there ave 4lso two volumes of maps. The largest of the volumes of text contains the original statement by the American commissioners, lle one of the smaller volumes presents the other countries in rejoinder to the Brit- ish case. ? There also Is an extensive discussion of | the extent of the strip along the coast of the mainland that Russia conveyed to the United States by the treaty of 1867 It ap- from the document that Great Britlan conceded that the line begins at Cape Muzon. The United States contends that it was the Intention of the powers which signed | the treaty of 185 to comfirm in full soverelgnty to Russla & continuous strip or lsiere along the continental shores of th northwest coast of America extending from Portiand channel to the liist meridian ot longitude west of Greenwich, and that such strip was to be ten marine leagues meas- ured from the heads of all gulfs and other arms of the sea, unless there was within that district a range of mountains. The contention Is further made that there is no such mountaln range. It also s urged that the United States has occu- pled this strip of territory ever since Ita soquisition from Russla and that Russia had controlled it since the treaty of 1835, until ceded to the United States In 1567, Counter Statement of United States.

The alleged ! sples were selzed and thLreats were made to burn them alive, The police rescued them from the mob after they had been severely mauled. THIEVES TEACH LESSON By Taking Cheap Articles They Show Inefliciency of Devices for Protection, ROME, Sept. 3.—The museum of Napies has sustained a robbery which, while not | important In itself, [llustrated the ease with which an object of great value might be stolen from the institution. The thiet or thieves boldly pried open the door of the museum, went upstairs to the stand of the celebrated Farnese cup and carried away bodily two snakes which encircled the cup. The snakes, which were of gilded bronze, were of no great artistic value. The cup itselfy fortunately, was uninjured. The cup stands on a pillar under a glass case which revolves in order the better to display the cup. The marvel is that one or more of the objects of incalculable value with which the room is filled were not carried oft by the thieves. ITALIAN KING WILL VISIT Prepares Go to Paris and Lon Accompanied by the Queen. ROME, Sept. 3.—The French government having expressed the desire that the queen of Italy should accompany the king on his coming visit to Paris negotiations to that end are now proceeding. Before the death of Pope Leo it had been decided that the visit of King Victor Emmanuel to Paris should be distinct from that which the king will make to London, in order that Paris shall not appear to be a stopping place on the journey to England. Now that the two visits will come close together, the French government has recognized the uselessness of King Victor Emmanuel re- turning to Rome before going to London, and unless a change is subsequently made the king of England will proceed direct to England tfrom Paris.

One of the chlef objects will be the settlement of labor difficulties invblving 'Japanese employes. It is pro- posed to establish hospitals for the Jap- arese and schools for the children, and to counteract as much as possible the ten- | dency of some portions of the Japanese population to lead lives of idieness and ig- norance.

Of 1,30 male membeys of the tribe whose signa- tures were required less than half were secured to the agreement, secure the necessary three-fourths being due to the demand for § per acre for the land. It is probable that no further effort will be mude by the Interlor department to secure an agreement this fall, but it will let the entife matter rest until addi- tional legislation can be secured from con- gress. Representative Burkett this morning called upon the supervising architect to urge that official to hasten to completion the working plans for the new public build- ing at Lincoln. The so-called sketch plans have been completed and have been ap- proved by the cabinet board, and work on the working plans has been commenced. Mr. Burkett was Informed by Architect Taylor that he thought the working plans would be ready early In the spring and that the building could be put on the market at that time. Mr. Burkett thought otherwise and after some argument induced the su- pervising architect not only to make the Lincoln buflding spectal, but put an addi- tional draughtsman on the work, and If this is done it is promised Mr. Burkett that his pet building will be ready to go on the market the latter part of October. Oreston Building About Done, The attorney general and postmaster gen- eral were today notified by the acting sec- retary of the treasury that the new federal bullding at Creston, Ta., will be ready for occupancy some time between the 1st and 15th of October.

Mr. Kinsler | appeared for Mrs. Bowes and the case is considered of importance, as there are no doubt a great many other entries in Ne- braska and elsewhere depending on the out- come. This case involves the question of the right of the widow or children of sol- diers or sallors to make a homestead entry under the act of 1872, and make final proof | without residence on the land; also the question of thelr right to make agree- ments for the sale and disposition of the land before making final proof. Mr. Kin- sler says that hundreds and perhaps thou- sands of entries depend on the outcome of this case.

It observing members of the street car riding public begin to notice within the next two or three months that the con- ductors and motormen in charge of the public carriers are wearing union buttons of varlous hues, they will understand that these are not giving vent to personal taste, but that the explanation lies in the action taken at the division meeting Wednesday night. If the freckled faced car chaffeur with the tan whiskers changes about the | first of the month from a mauve-colored button to one of bright blue, whils the pale conductor continues to display the first tint, It is not because the motorman feels that the new sign will harmonize better with his color scheme, but because he has promptly paid his monthly dues, while the man behind the car has not. The new system makes it possible for a member to tell at a glance whether an- other Is in good standing or not. Tho union issues a working card monthly to its members when the monthly dues are pald and these cards have been of different color each time. The same idea has now been. applied to the buttons and the member will now get his button monthly of the same color as his new working card. This system has been tried in New York and other cities and is sald to have considor- ably facilitated the early collection of the monthly levy. SHEDD MAKES ST.

Regarding combinations of capital Mr. Hill said: I do mot find anything in holy writ which contemplates the accumulation of wealth through the instrumentality of gi- gantic trusts designed for the creation of monopoly in business, or anything that authorizes the watering of any stock, ex- cept live stock upon our farms, or ‘any- thing that justifies the enrichment of men except through the old-fashioned and scriptural method of earning that which | they shall possess.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Not since the ex- eiting days early in the bull campalgn has there been anything to equal the contysion which attended the publication of the gov- ernment statement of September condition reported in today's cotton market. The figures, 5.2, reflect an improvement in* the cordition for the month of 24 per cent, and are 181 per cent above those of last year. The statement proved better than generally expected and was followed by & rush of liquidation that carried prices off sharply. Earlier In the day the market had shown a declining tendency and prices at noon were about 6 to 15 points lower, In less than ten minutes after the report was read September sold at 1113 cents, October at 11020 cents, December at 9.9 cents, and January at 9.92 cents, these belng net losses of from 12 to 16 points. Then rea'izing by early sellers relieved the strain and led to slight recovery, with the market very irregular and unsettled. | 3. | At New York—Arrived: Germanie, from Liverpool; Pretoria. from Hamburg | labria, from Marseilles.

In a dense fog, which prevented viston beyond 200 yards, the defender finished the race at 6:3:02 amid the acclamations of the as- sembled flost. Shamrock III, after running for more than an hour in the fog, missed the finish line, passed by it and then returned to it from the opposite direction. As Relfance was then being towed through the flest the yacht's ensign fluttered from its tr and spreaders in celebration of its victory Shamrock III did not cross the finish line. As often sald of the historie race when America won the cup, “There was no sec- ond. Start Fintsr 6:20:02 This successful race was achleved only after four futile attempts to sail off the final race and after the vutcome had been admitted by even Bir Themas Lipton to ba a foregone conclusion. Today's was the elghth eitempt to sall a race. After one fluke Rellance won the two following races, one by Y minutes and 3 seconds and the other by 1 minute and 19 seconds. A week ago today the first attempt to sail the third race falled and others have falled every day this week. On the first occasion Rellance led Shamrock to the finish line by two miles, but failed to reach it before the'expiration of the time limit of five and a half hours. Today's victory means that the cup is destized to remain in America until England is able to pro- duce a genius equal to Herreshoft in yacht destgning. Finish Was Spectacular, Rarely, It ever, has there been a more spectacular finish than Reliance's today. After racing for more than an hour at terrific speed through a blinding fog, Re- llance burst through the wall of mist upon the vision of the spectators on the fleet assembled at the finish line, and, heeling under o great bellylng balloon jib topsait uptil fts lee rall was awmsh, fiew ncross the finish jine almost before the spectators could determine for a certainty that it was the deferider. Once more the Yankee boat had added to the long string of victories in contests for the honored old silver trophy that carried with it the biue ribbon of the sea. A fleet of less than thirty vessels went down to the famiifar waters of the fnterna- tional course to witnes this fifth effort of Rellance to cover the course of thirty miles within the time Umit. It had become a race of the American boat against time in- stead of a contest of two well matched craft. When they reached the lghtship a gentle southeast wind of five knots, that barely wrinkled the surface of the msea, save but faint promise that this was to be the final day, but shift of the wind to the south shortly after ncon revived the despairing hopes of the yachtemen, for it tlew away the nisty haze which had been hanging over the course snce the ecsterly etorm of last week. The regtta commit- tee walted until the last roment to send the boats away at 1 c'clock, after which hour it had been agreed that no race should be started. Rignals were displayed to Indicate & windward and leeward course of thirty miles, south and back. Barr Sustalns Reputation. The duel between the skippers began at the sound of the preparatory gun and con- tinued through & series of brillant maneuvers in which Captain Barr again proved his splendid seamanship by out- generaling Captain "Wringe until the boats went across the line. During the fifteen minutes before the starting gun Captain Barr held the British boat under his les and for most of the time blanketed. Ho never rslinquished the windward position which Rellance held when the preparatory gun was fired. Ten minutes later when both boats were heading away from the line Shamrock luffed and forced Rellance about, whereupon both headed for the line. On the way to it Rellance held the chal- lenger under its lee partially blanketed. Al- ternately lufing and keeping away Captain Barr prevented Shamrock from getting away from him and across the line, but two minutes after the starting gun and at the sound of the gun indicating the expiration of the handicap, Captain Wringe luffed Shamrock across the stern of Rellance and the two, boats went mcross the line to- gether. Detatls of the Race. The sky was clear and the sl the yellow western sun were painting a beautiful marine picture with the two yachts as center figures when at 4:20, with almost half the course to be salled, a thick bank of fog came rolling in before a outh- east wind and enveloped Shamrock in a gray mist that shut her off from view The official starting time was: Reliance, 1:01:5; Bhamrock, 1:02. Shamrock TLI act: ally crossed the line at 1:02:08 and suffered a handicap of three second: Both were heading seaward but as Re- Mance from the lee bow of Shamrock w backwinding her headsalls, Shamrock III promptly whirled about and headed down the Jersey coast. Reliance held in for a minute and then followed. The maneuvers placed Reliance to winward but astern of the challenger. They went off at a swift pace in & freshening breese. Captain Wringe attempted to outsail the defender by giving his boat & good full and letting it romp away at & fast clip, while Captain Barr pinched Reliance close to the wind and cleverly nursed it toward the turning mark. Shamrock 11 at first footed faster, but Re- Jlance more than made it good by outpoint- ing It. For more than an hour they salled on that tack down past the shore of Sandy Hook and the Highlands of Navesink to Beabright, and during all that time Re- Mance steadily worked up to the windward of the beaten challenger, outpointing and nting rays of Fork. 2" | outtooting it at the same time and passing
