THE HAGUE, June 20,—Among the Iejected proposals in the various com- mittees of the peace conference is one prohibiting the employment of new ex- plosives not yet brought into use. This proposal was rejected by a vote Of 12 to t). ()n the proposal forbidding the per- fecting of cannons there is no accord, and it is possible that the principle of such . prohibition will be rejected. Concerning bullets. especially dumdums, the Swiss and Russian propositions being rejected, the subcommittee voted 21 new Russian proposal prohibiting the use of bullets with a strong wrapper and uncovering totally the core of explosive bullets.

Dr. Zorn of the German delegation to the international peace conference, who was dispatched Frida' by Count von Munster, the chief 'erman delegate, after a conference with his colleagues, to Inform Emperor \Villiam personally of the condition of.aft'airs in regard to the board of arbitration question, has re- turned. It is said, however, that, owing to the absence of the emperor, Dr. Zorn was only able to consult with the officials of the German foreign office. Dr. Zorn is discreetly reticent regard- ing his ‘nllfissiop‘,’ b.9113 is understood he ”alfziihed the impression at Berlin that all! hope need not be abandoned of efiect- “ing" an understanding regarding the or- :ganihati‘on of an arbitration board by . amalgam‘ating the various schemes. ‘ It is expected that Emperor \Villiani ' will reach a decision this week. Matters- ' therefore will remain unchanged, and ' the drafting committee will not meet uh- 'til the kaiser’s decision is known. The‘ general desire of the conference favors» an established arbitration tribu- nall, recourse to which shall be optional. If is believed that if Germany declines the other powers will still achieve some such result before separating. They may decide upon a draft scheme pending Ger- many’s decision; - . I: .54‘2’1»... W‘ ’Dr. Zorn's Instructions. I“ BERLIN, June 20.-—The Berliner Tageblatt says it understands that Dr. Zorn’s instructions involve a concession regarding the arbitration question, due to the great earnestness with which the British, American and Russian delegates are pushing the application of the prin- ciple. Government circles, from political . motives, desire some positive result, if there can be an absolute guarantee that the scheme will not harm German inter- ests. '-' Brooklyn’s Damages $7,000.

Incident That Show: the Author’s Thirst for Exact Knowledge on Every Point. “Kipling’s methods of absorbing de- tail are curious and interesting,” says Mr. Lyman D. Bentley, formerly with the Baldwin Locomotive company. “Some years ago, while he was visit- ing the shops at New Haven, he met a. skilled meehanicnamed Cressy, and immediately proceeded to pump him about engine building. Cressy did not fully appreciate the honor that was paid him, but he was flattered by the novelist’s interest, and the two went all over a big eight-Wheel express flyer that was standing in the yard. Kip- ling said he had lots of books on the subject, but they didn’t tell him the things he wished to know. What. he wanted was a real engineer or builder’s idea of the machine, and he was par- ticularly eager to learn the colloquial names of the parts. He took no notes, but about a month later. he was in New Haven again, and hunted up the me- chanic. ‘Look here, Cressy,’ he said, producing a. rough sketch on a. card of one of the valves of the brake-gear, ‘I wish you’d tell me again just how this thing works.’ Cressy explained, and Kipling laughed delightedly. ‘I’ve got it now!’ he exclaimed. I mention the incident because it seems to throw some light on his astonishing command of technicalities.” FUNS'TON 0N THE FILIPINOS. What Independence Means in the Minds of the Followers of Aguinnldo. C01. Funston, whose fighting in the Philippines has made him famous, wrote a letter home to the Topeka (Kan) Capital, before the outbreak of hostilities. In it he said some things which ought to cool down the partici- pants in the Chicago meeting which at“ tacked the president. For instance: “I am afraid t at. some people at home will lie aw'ke nights worrying about the ethics of this war, thinking that our enemy is fighting for the right. of self-government, etc. The word ‘in- dependence,’ which these people roll over their tongues so glibly, is to thm‘m ‘ a word and not much more. " “It means simply with them license to raise hell and if they got con- trol they would raise a. fine crop of it. It is true that they have a certain num- ber of educated leaders — educated, however, about the same way a. par- rot is. “They are, as a. rule, on illiterate, semi-savage people, who are waging war not against tyranny, but against Anglo-Saxon order and decency. Their whole conduct during the. several months preceding the outbreak was one of insufferable arrogance and ego- tism. They were swollen up by the fact that Our people made too much of them at first. I, for one, hope that Uncle Sam will apply the chastening red good, hard and plenty and lay it an un- til they come in- to the reservation and promise to be good ‘ijuns.’ ” with 3.
