he and his colleagues, representing,

to withdraw in consequence of the dis:

delegates, whereupon the delegates

Weardale also incidentally mentioned
President Roosevelt as having been
associated with them in the work of
peace.
"Premier Campbell-Bannermann, in
reply, reminded his hearers that King
Edward had always been a great ad
vocate of peace. The British govern
ment, he said, was in entire sympathy
with the object of the conference,
whose work had already aroused
among the nations a strong feeling in
favor of peace. The world had far

who had done so much towards the en
hancement of ideas of peace. It
could, he thought, be safely asserted
that the Russian parliament, although
dissolved, was sure to again come in
to existence.
"Then the premier, in a sudden ac
cess of enthusiasm, shouted: "La
duma est morte! Vive la duma!'
(The Russian parliament is dead!
Long live the Russian parliament!)
"The delegates rose to their feet
and a storm of cheering continued for
a couple of minutes.
'('fn conclusion the premier said he
hoped that at the next peace confer
ence at The Hague . a general act
would be drawn up providing for the
submission of all questions of dispute
without restriction to The Hague tri

met with a storm of protests and
shouts of 'No! No!' and attempts on
every side to induce the Russians to
remain, but the latter insisted that
mey no longer nad any official status
and must leave England for Russia
this evening and return to the 'bat
tlefield.' "Tho Russian delegates then left
tne hall and the conference then set
tled down to business. But the inci
dents attending the dissolution of the
Russian parliament were for some
time discussed far more eagerly than
the business ' of the conference.
"Lord Weardale, who had in the
meantime been elected president, had
some difficulty in getting the excited
delegates quieted, but ultimately at

British premier's appeal for the relief
of Europe from the burdens of their
military budgets could not be fruit
less. The parliaments must follow
suit.
"On Count Apponyvi's suggestion a
telegram was sent to King Edward
as follows:
'"The inter-parliamentary confer
ence received the king's adhesion with
profound gratitude. May he long be
spared to promote the welfare of his
people and the cause of international
peace.'

Professor Kovalevsky rose, but some
minutes elapsed before he could gain
a hearing, so prolonged was the cheer
ing. Finally, in a voice somewhat
broken with emotion, he announced
the necessity for the withdrawal of
the members of the Russian parlia
ment. He said:
"'We came here in behalf of the
Russian nation to partake in the great
work of the conference. The Rus
s an people desire peace. The mis
sion of the Russian parliament was
to snatch a great people from a regime
of violence and substitute for it a
sense of reality, liberty and justice.
We hoped to take an active part in
your work, but our mission comes to
a sudden end, as our parliament hav
ing been dissolved, we are no longer
official representatives. Our sym
pathy remains. We return home with
the determination to continue the
great struggle for freedom, liberty and
justice.'

object to it.
"In conclusion, Mr. Bartholdt said:
'"What we want is a world organi
zation and a system of law in order
to replace arbitrary power in interna
tional relations.'
"The former Austrian minister of
commerce, von Plener, presented the
report of the Brussels commission,
giving the proposed model treaty of
arbitration. He said that while it was
impossible to recommend the Amer
ican proposal in its entirety some of
the features were good, notably the
means by which it proposes to de
crease the cost of arbitration. Herr
von Plened moved the adoption of the
model treaty as amended by the com
mission, together with a recommenda
tion urging on the powers that when
arbitration is impossible to have re
course, singly or jointly, to the media
tion of a third power before declaring
war.
."At this juncture, William J. Bryan
rose, his . appearance being heartily
cheered.
" T can not see,' he said, 'that the
people have aiiy justification in killing
each other before investigating the
question involved. There is no ques
tion of the sufficient importance of
this. I want to move an amendment
to Her von Plener's recommendation,
to be appended to the commission's
report. It goes further than this
without going too far. This is my res-

between contracting parties, which in

treaty need not be submitted to ar

war or engaging in any hostilities
whatever, submit the question to The
Hague court or some other impartial
international tribunal for investiga
tion, and report, each party reserving
the right to act independently after
wards." .

there shall be no more shedding of
