RAIN BENEFIT OF 1 COURT OF ARBITRATION William T. Stead Says It Marks the Beginning of a New Epoch. STAND OF AMERICANS | Conference Achieved a Wonderful ; Success—Delegation Surprised at Its Accomplishments. | —_— | | | Copyrighted, 1539, by the Assoclated Press, THE HAGUE, July 25.—I have seen | the American delegates and they talked | freely about the conference, but refused | to make a statement about the resuits | before the conference rises. The fol- lowing, however, may be accepted as a fairly accurate summary of the views they entertain: The conference achieved a great suc- | cess, much greater than the delegates | anticipated, and the resultwas achieved | 1argely by the amour propre of capable men from all parts of the world. deter- mined to accomplish somethin worth their assembling together. The result surprised all of them, and the magnitude of the gains is imper- | fectly understood even by the confer- | ence. The establishment of a permanent | | court of arbitration on the American | | prfnciple of revision, plus the French eclaration of the duty of neutrals to | | recommend disputing powers to resort | war, represents vast progr | evolution of human society. nition of the duty to represent to di: | putants the desirability of resorting to | the arbitration court, entails no obliga- | s on the American inconsistent with | traditional policy. This is made | absolutely clear by the declaration | signed by the American delegation, | read in full at the conference to-day and entered on the records. Mr. Low was busily engaged to-day | upon the elaboration of the final act recording the work of the conference. { Mr. Holls has achieved a position of in- | fluence much greater than of many of the first delegates, and Captain Crozier is much admired for his plucky fight in support of his amendment to the Rus- sian resolution of the dumdum bullet. The returns between American and | other delegates, notably the English, German and Russian, has been ex- tremely friendly. The Englishmen and Americans acted throughout almost like a joint delegation. This was due to no arrangement or direction, but solely because both nations found com. mon ground of defense, common inter- ests, civilization and humanity. The only point on which the English delegates failed to support the Ameri- cans was the resolution forbidding the | capture of private property at sea. To | this the English representatives were not opposed, but British opinion heinzl divided, the delegates had no instruc- tions regarding the matter and ab- stained from taking action. After the arbitration convention is signed, it will probably be opened to the adhesion of all other powers not represented at the conference on con- dition that no original signatory of the convention object. This right to black- ball any power wishing to join the con- vention was insisted upon by Italy, in order to prevent the adhesion of the Pope, and by England on account of the Transvaal. It is hoped that all the South American states will come in. It is the unanimous opinion of all the American delegates that the conference begins a new epoch and the good seed now sown will bear a rich harvest here- after. WILLIAM T. STEAD.

Relatives of Joseph Gregory, now serving a twenty-year term in San Quentin for complici in the lynching of the vaquero three years ago, claim they have overwhelming proof that the conviction of Gregory and his com- panfons, Van Horn and Crow, was ob- tained by means of perjured testimony. B T T S o O R R R O . * * + ® Y ary sitting of the conference this after- noon in deference to Sir Julian Paunce- fote, head of the British delegation, and | in order to secure unanimity, the Dan- ish delegates consented that the refer- ence to the landing of cables be struck contained in article 53 of the convention on the laws of war. Turkhan Pasha, head of the Turkish | delegation, made formal adhesion to the | arbitration convention on condition that Turkey’s recourse thereto be pure- | 1y optional. It is understood that about | half the powers, including those form- | ing the Dreibund, will sign the arbitra- | tion convention immediately. The third committee met this after- noon to read the report upon the arbi- tration scheme.proposed by Chevalier Deschamps, the Belgian advocate, plena conference adopted without modification. The committee also ap- proved the final act and then proceeded | to consider the preambles and appen- dices of the conventions and declara- tions. The question whether Governments not represented at the conference may, | by accepting the terms of the arbitra- tion board, secure the advances thereof without first obtaining the consent of all the signatory powers, occasioned a long discussion. It is said the Vatican has such a right, but the Transvaal has not. The conference arose without de- ciding the question OF A LIVELY ENCOUNTER School Director Armstrong Mixes Up ‘With the Owner of the | Animal. SAUSALITO, July 2 A pet monkey owned by Edward Huie, an officer on was the tic fracas between the “hool Director Armstrong on the ferry boat the transport Morgan City, f cause of a owner and § of San Francis¢o decidedly the worst of the encounter. Huie has a pet monkey which he re- cently brought with him from Manila. He was exhibiting it to an admiring crowd on the lower deck of the boat. School Director Armstrong was in the audience and, taking umbrage at some- body jostling him, tried to “get even’ by pushing the person back. This ex« -:d Huie's indignation and he uttered a remonstrance. One word brought on another and finally Huie handed his eyeglasses to a friend and pitched into Armstrong a la Jeffries, He managed to land two hard swings on Arm- strong’s nose before they were separ- | ated, with the result that the School Director’s shirt front and the deck of the boat were plentifully besprinkled with blood. “Jim” Bacigalupi, the restaurateur and politician of North Beach, is al- leged to have officiated as referee at the impromptu contest. Among the in- terested spectators were “Mike” Smith, the politician, and George Elder, who was a candidate for the office of Su- perintendent of the Streets at the lats election. Sty KAUTZ’S ACTIONS ARE CRITICIZED IN GERMANY Allegation That He Ordered His Band to Play Only English and American Anthems. BERLIN, July 25.—The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes a letter, the writer of which complains that Rear Admiral Kautz when leaving Apia had the American and British anthems performed by the band on his ship, but omitted to order that the German anthem be played while passing the German cruiser which lay in the har- bor, the crew of which was ready to give the usual cheers, but stepped back In si- lence when the omission was noticed.

INCERSOLL'S BIER 4 BED OF FLOWERS Simple Services Conducted by His Life-Long Friend, John C. Ridpath. N0 CLERGY PRESENT Last Poem of the Great Agnostic, the “Declaration of the Free,” Read Over the Body. — Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 25.—The (unerali of the late Robert G. Ingersoll took place this afternoon from Walston, Dobbs Ferry, where he died on Friday last. No clergyman was present to conduct the services; there was no music and there were no pallbearers. The body | lay on a cot in the room where he died. It was enshrouded in white and just one red rose placed on the breast. About the cot were banks of floral tributes sent by friends, wreaths and | bunches of blossoms. The services were { held at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Ingersoll sat be- | side her dead and beside her were her daughters, Mrs. Walston H. Brown and Miss Maud Ingersoll. They were very much agitated and wept almost con- tinuously. Mr. and Mrs. P. Farrell were present, and Charles Broadway | Rouse, Colonel Ingersoll’s oldest friend, occupied a chair by the side of the bier. There were some forty others present, and they remained by Dr. John Clark Ridpath, who, in a voice full of emo- tion, sald: My friends, it is my very sad duty to read in the presence of the dead the last poem written by Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, entitled ‘The Declaration of the Free.’ This poem Colonel Ingersoll had read and altered in some of its parts only a few hours before he was stricken down.” Major O. J. Smythe, who resides in Dobbs Ferry, and who was a close per- sonal friend of Colonel Ingersoll, then without preliminary words read an- other extract from Colonel Ingersoll’s writings, entitled “My Religion.” Dr. John Elliott of New York read the funeral oration delivered by Colonel Ingersoll over his brother’s body. This concluded the short and simple services. Nearly all present then took a parting look at the dead and passed out. After they had gone, Mr. Rouse arcse from his chair and as he is total- ly blind, passed his hand over the face of his,departed friend and said: “‘Per- hapss?\e is better now. No one can un- derstand it.” Mrs. Ingersoll sail to him: “The colonel wanted you to pui your hand upon his heart,” and suiting the action to the word, she directed his hand to the left breast of the deceased. Mr. Rouse asked what she was going to do with the remains. “I can’t give him up,” she said. “I can’t put him. in the ground. I can’t bear to think of it. ‘We're going to bring him back home.” The body will probably be taken to Fresh Pond Thursday for cremation. but this arrangement is subject to change. During the morning there were many visitors to look upon the face of the deceased. Among ‘them were several old colored servants of the family whoe had come from Washing- ton and took four days off and paid their expenses to do honor to their great benefactor. Among these were two former butlers of the family. One old man, who was a baggageman on the railroad, came from down on Long Island. Others came from Chi- cago, Syracuse and Buffalo. Many ad- ditional telegrams of sympathy were received to-day, one of them being from General Miles. Floral tributes were received all the morning and ed by these flowers. It took a three- quarter view of the face. GENERAL NEGRIER IS REDUCED IN RANK Criticized the Action of the Govern- ment in the Rennes Trial. PARIS, July 2 ‘The Ministerial Council decided to-day to dismiss Gen- eral Negrier from the offices of army inspector and member of the Superior Council of War, thus reducing him to the mere rank of general of division. The motive for this exceptional meas- ure, so far made public, is that General Negrier publicly used language incompatible with discipline. The anti-Dreyfusard journal Le Soir attributes it to spitework on the part of General Gallifet, because Gen- eral Negrier refused to attend the min- isterial dinner party. The real cause of his dismissal was that he criticized the action of the Gov- ernment and instructed the generals whom he was addressing to tell the of- ficers under them that this state of things could not last and that the Rennes trial must be allowed to finish, but when that question was settled, the Superior Council of War would call upon the Government to protect the army against attacks, and if the Gov- ernment did not act, the Council of War would see to it.

Spanish - American War Panorama Is one of the war books which is likely to be in continuous demand. It is a panoramic record of the triumphs of Yankee Doodle. The eagle flaps his wings on every page, and “Old Glory” waves around and above every scene. Prominent officers connected with the war are here portrayed, as well as many of the “men behind the guns.” Military life is pictured to the eye, from recruiting to guard mount and skirmish line. Nor is the ludicrous omitted. The company cook receives the attention due to his importance; the mess is shown; cavalry scenes are given; the hospital arrangements are depicted; the heroines of the Red Cross service are displayed; street scenes in Havana, Santiago and elsewhere are unrolled, the new citizens or subjects (which are they?) of Uncle Sam appear and dis- appear as the leaves are turned. In a word, the gazer visits the new Jocalities and sees the tumultuous new life, without the risk or expense of a sea voyage.

The | “confession” was obtained at the point of a pistol. Regarding this Brophy says: “I first visited the Doolittle camp in the latter part of June and exhibited for his inspection a number of affidavits from many of the best citizens of Round Val- ley.
