Three commissions will then be named
to arrange programmes for discussion.

ments and military expenditure, the
second deals with the laws governing
civilized warfare and the third with me-
diatio‘n and arbitration.
A great mass of diplomatic documents
will be submitted on these subjects—
documents including the memorandum
of Prince Metternich of Austria, in 1816,
regarding the suggestidn of the prince
regent of England, supported by Alex-
ander I of Russia, for an international
peace conference; the opinions of Mr.
David Dudley Field of the United States
as to fixing a permanent limit to mili-
tary forces; the argument of M. Me-
rignhac in favor of simultaneous dis-
armament; the proposals of Napoleon
III to convoke a European peace con-
ference at Paris in 1863, and similar pa-
pers.
Thesecond commission will consider
the declarations of the congress of Par-
is, 1850 and the Geneva convention,
1864, thb umatified clauses of the Ge--
nexa convention of 1,868 the acts of the
St. Petersburg convention prohibiting
the use of certain projectiles by civi-
lized nations, the minutes of the Brus-
sels conference of 1874, the suggestions
of the Oxford manual regarding the
laws and Observances of war, the rules
for the bombardment of cities adopted
by the Institute of International Law in
Venice in 1896, the declarations of
France and Great Britain regarding the
unadopted rules of the Geneva conven-
tion and the views of the Amsterdam
Chamber of Commerce.
The third commission will consider
the proposals of Lord Clarendon at the
Paris congress in 1856 for the intern,
mediation of a friendly state previous
to a recourse to force, the motion of
Signor Mancini in the Italian chamber
of deputies in 1875 in favor of. arbitra-
tion, the acts of the Berlin and Zurich

tion, Mr. David Dudley Field’s plan for
an arbitration tribunal, the proposals

Sir Julian Pauncefote in 1896 relating
to the conclusion of an arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States, the terms of the unrati-
fied Anglo-American arbitration treaty
and many similar documents.
A Sword For Dewey.
WASHINGTON, May 18.——-A notable
feature of Admiral Dewey’s arrival, in
Washington will be the presentation to
him by the president of the superb jew-
eled sword made by authority of con—
gress as a testimonial from the gov-
ernment. The sword was completed
some time ago, but owing to its delica—
cy and great value it was deemed best
not to send it to the admiral. It is
now in a safe deposit vault awaiting
his coming. The presentation to the
officers and men of the admiral’s flag-
ship of the handsome medals authoriz-
ed by congress will occur probably at
the same time. The medals are being
made by a New York firm and will be
completed tomorrow. There are about
1,700 of them, congress having direct-
ed that each officer and man in the
fleet should receive one.
To Study Our Judicial System.
WASHINGTON, May 18.——A number
of prominent jurists of Japan are in the
city and yesterday were introduced to
the attorney general by the Japanese
minister. Their mission here is to study
the judicial system of the United States.
The party consists of G. Baba, judge of
the Japanese court of cessation; K. Ko-
soka, chief procurator of the court of
Yokohama, and C. Nasashioji, public
procurator of the appeal Court of Tokyo.
Recruiting omcers Warned.
WASHINGTON, May 18.—An order-
has been issued by the war department
warning recruiting ofllcers to be more
careful in the selection of recruits for
the army. It is stated that complaints
of the inferior quality of recruits indi-
cate a lack of care on the part of some
officers. Physical defects have been
found which, in the judgment of the de-
partment, should have been discovered
when the men were examined.
General Hampton Declines.
, COLUMBIA, S. 0., May 18,—General
Wade Hampton has written a. card to
the people of the state in which he feel-
ingly and gratefully declines to accept
the home it was Dr0posed to build for
him, replacing the home recently de~
stroyed by fire. He 'says the" reward 01
a citizen who has done work for the
state is “well done, good and faithful
servant.” He prized the people’s com-
mendation more than any gift.
A South Carolina Cotton Mill.
COLUMBIA, S. C., May 18,—A charte;
has been applied for the Olympia cot-
ton mills of Columbia. Its capital will
be $1,500,000. The power will be eleci

gaged in war asserting its rightful au-
thority over the Philippines, and the
army and navy have been maintaining
and enhancing the glory of our flag
among the nations of the world; that
these strong arms of the government
have been subduing disorder and insur-
rection for the purpose of creating a
civilizing and Christianizing form of
government, and,
“Whereas, During this contest cer-
tain citizens in their capacity and
through organizations and public meet-
ings have been giving aid and com-
fort to the enemy, seeking to secure a
prolongation of war and bloodshed and
creating discontent and doubt among
soldiers and sailors in active service,
discouraging enlistments and invoking
censure upon the government for its
policy; therefore, be it
“Resolved, That this encampment de-
nounces those who thus act as guilty
of treason, not entitled to the protection
of the flag they dishonor and unworthy
the name of American citizens.”

" DEAR Mas. PINKHAM—l think it is
my duty to write to you expressing
my sincere gratitude for the wonder-
ful relief I have experienced by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound. I tried difierent doctors, also
difierent kinds of medicine. I would
feel better at times, then would be
as bad as ever. ‘
‘ ‘ For eight years I_ was a great suf-
ferer. I had falling of the womb and
was in such miscry at. my monthly
periods Iconld not work but a, little
before I would have to lie down. Your
medicine has made a. new woman of me.
I can now work all day and not get
tired. I thank you for what you have
done for me. I shall always praise
your medicine to all suflering women. ”
-—Mns. E. E. ”Kenn, Gnnuano, 01110.
“ I have taken eight bottles of Lydia
' E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and used two packages of your Sana-
tive Wash, also someof the Liver’I’ills,
and I can say that your remedies will
do all that you claim for them. Before
taking your remedies I was very'bad
with womb trouble, was nervous; had
no ambition. could not sleep, and my
food seemed to do me no good. Now I
am well, and your medicine has cured
me. I will gladly recommend your med-
icine to every one wherever I go.”
