TUB HAGUE, June 22. (Special.) The
eyes of the civilised world have for some
time been fixed on The Hague, the scene
of the Hague Peace Confernce. Hence the
place of the assembly la of unusual In
terest Just at the present time.
The new palace of peace In which the
representatives of the world's powers are
to conduct their deliberations In the future
has not yet been built. The old meeting
place of the last conference, the "Hula
ten Bosch" near The Itaue was not
found entirely convenient for so large a
gathering. There was hardly enough room
for all the representatives in the great
hall and the various committee rooms In
which the multifarious details of the work
of the conference had to be discussed
were located In the Blnnenhof, a mile
and a half away, on the south bank of
the Vyver In The Hague. This naturally
Involved some loss of time and for the
conference of this summer more commodlt
ous and suitable quarters were found on
the east side of the courtyard of the
Blnnenhof itself, where the old committee
rooms are once more at the service of the
delegates.
Moat Interesting; Building.
The building is perhaps the most Inter
estlng In all Hollund In more ways than
one. The gable at the west end with Its
rose window like that of a cathedral rises
between two cylindrical fortress towers
on which the flat tracery of the main
facade is repeated and their pointed tur
rets pierce Into the air above the topmost
carving of the central roof. Between
them and beneath the rose window is a
flight of stone steps with a snjall Gothic
porch supported upon pillars which give
the relief of their white coloring against
the russet of the brickwork of the main
structure. The high pitched roof with the
dormer windows on the northern aide has
all of the appearance, familiar in such
structures, as the Market Hall of Bruges
or the great town hall of Flanders. But
this Is, however, more severely Gothic In
Its character. Its strong, square buttresses
nd In round pinnscles at the line of the
machicolations which defend the fortress
palace of Count Florls and the larger
windows beneath -them are Inset beneath
round arches In the thickness of the ma
sonry. Within the feeling; of solidity and
vviwibi.1i, unuiui iiiiinsa zor us vanea
purposes of splendor or defense, of pom
pous ceremonial or of proud security, bo
comes yet more accentuated. The. western
porch opens straight into the Knights
Hall, and this is the vast and nobly-proportioned
apartment which entertains the
conference. The span of Its vault is the
largest known to exist and the great roof
of open hammerbeams swings clear across
from one wall to the other without any
central lines of pillars to support It. The
thrust Is received by massive columns of
fossil marble set straight and close against
the sides on bases of hewn granite, and
the lower part of the walls is covered in
oak-panelling enriched with Gothic carving.
Maernllleent Color Scheme.
In such a setting tbe scheme of docora
tlon is on a large and dignified scale and
magnificent ly has it been carried out by
the local authorities responsible In this In
stance. The coloring la rich but substan
tial and la chiefly obtained by the lavish
use of gorgeous eastern tapestries and rugs
Upon the floor and walls In sombrs but
magnificent tints of crimsons, blues and
(olds; and the enormous floor space avail
able has enabled the architect to arrange
with convenience and even beauty, for the
eating of two hundred and fifty represen
tatlvea from nearly fifty nations.
A strange romance at Tpres has just cul
minated in the marriage of a convict who
Is undergoing Ufa imprisonment In the lo
ral prison, to the daughter of the gaoler.
The gaoler's daughter was In the habit of
taking food to the convict and an attach
ment was formed which resulted In the
convict asking permission of the gaoler to
marry the girl. The girl admitted her love
for the prisoner and at last the gaoler con
sented. The convict was taken to the town
hall In a covered wagon escorted by four
gendarmes who acted as witnesses. After
Ihe .civil ceremony the bride and groom
were driven back to the prison with the
ndarmes and the religious ceremony was
Performed In the prison chapel after which
h convict returned to his cell. The real
Sects of Yprea are now circulating a pe
tition which will be presented to the au
thorities asking that the convict be par
Joned. British-German Rivalry.
The statement of Herr Ballin, managing
director of the HambaroAmertcan Steam
ship line that the superiority of the British
aver the German mercantile marine existed
on paper only and that the British ships
were mostly second hand tramps con
structed of the cheapest material and
(teaming only at the slowest speed has un
doubtedly caused a great deal of Interest
fcere. It la said that the statement of Herr
Ballin is hardly accurate. However, the
Serman ships do have some advantages.
It Is perhaps fair to state that the British
friend the most money on the atralght
way work but that the Germans spend
ihe most money on the finishings and fur
Ishjngs. Then the German government
kelps In many Instances the German ship
ping lines by a grant of preferential rail
way rates on the state-owned railways.
Ths sgent of a German shipping line In
Holland, for Instance, ran quote a lower
through rate to New York than the agent
f a British line because the German agent
sets the advantage of low rates through
Germany.

LONDON, June 22. (Special.) The ad
vice of Scotland Yard Is, "Don't on your
life talk to strangers; this town Is packed
with "bunco steerers" who are after your
money."
This also Is in substance the good ad
vice which Americans ars giving their
countrymen newly arrived In London for
the season. The advice appears to be a
very neceasary warning against the wiles
of the International confidence tricksters
known to Americans as "bunco steerers"
who are now flocking In shoals to London.
This year, apparently because a record
year in travel is expected, these swell mobs
men have rushed to London by hundreds,
and over a dozen expert gangs are known
to be at work. Already the London police
have received many complaints from con
fiding Americans who have trusted well
dressed strangers and have lost their val
uables In consequence. "These confidence
trick men are the aristocracy of the crim
inal classes," said a Scotland yard official
In an Interview upon this subject. "There
are so many 'crooks' In the world and
they are so daring; so different in their
methods of operation; so difficult to bring
to book. They travel like princes and
many of them succeed In stealing more
than the Income of a cabinet minister.
"This year they are up to all manner
new tricks, for they are always up to data
and ready to play any part to fit In with
the season's arrangements. Many of them
pretend to be multi-millionaires or even
English aristocrats.
Take Victims Off Gnard.
"Their mainstay, however, Is the old, olil
trick of Inspiring confidence, getting their
wealthy victim off his guard and then
robbing him of all they can lay hands on.
They are very hard to catch, for often
the person robbed refuses to prosecute for
fear that the news of his folly will reach
his friends at home. It annoys the Amer-
Icans to let others know that any one has
got the better of him In this way even
by a' trick.
"They begin their tricks directly the liner
on which they engage saloon berths leaves
New ' York. ' In the smoking rooms they
play cards with accomplices until they
have Induced others to take a hand and
then they start to make their passage
money. On their arrival In London the
confidence men usually engage rooms at
the best hotels where they and their meth
ods are unknown. Here dressing immacu
lately and living on the fat of tha land
they await their opportunities and make
the most of them when they do come.
"When a homesick American is met In
London by a well groomed, prosperous and
affable countryman, who by a strange
chance knows the "old home well,' he is
naturally taken off hla guard at once. It la
not long after this that on some pretext
or other the American Is Induced to show
his valuables or money, and the rest Is
easy for his new found friend.
The chief stock in trade of these rogues
is the art of Inspiring confidence. One man j bBcaUB- ho endeavored to shield the people
who posed as a member of a millionaire ( of the oar1(m
New York family sold a string of valuable j Father Btephen8 wag IodBed ln jrry jail
horses only a few days ago to a new ar- Bnd WBS tr,ed and ,entenced at Letter

bargaln from the point of view of the pur- j prlBonment and its accompanying hard
chaser was that after the confidence man , ,h,pl and privation, undoubtedly weakened
had vanished It was discovered that the tne constltutlon of Father Stephens, al-
horses belonged to another and a respect

EMPEROR CUTS EULENBERG
Kaiser WUhelm Has Found In Fa mo as
Prince a False Adviser
at Last.
VIENNA, June 22. (Speclal. According
to the stories told here but strictly sup
pressed In Oermany, the German Emporor
has severed his long friendship with Prince
Philip Eulenburg. who was for many years
the leader at the German court because
the latter had been a spiritualist. In many
quarters of Austria the story has even
been told that the trouble between Ftance
and Germany over Morocco was caused by
the fact that the Kaiser listened to Prince
Eulenburg and Prince Eulenburg llsteid

I p0Be1 to Prance. Prince Eulenburg'a los
of the Imperial favor Is regarded as an
event of great national Importance In con
sequence of the Influence exercised by this
strange aristocrat on the affairs of state.
His relations with the emperor have been
of the most intimate nature.
The downfall of Prince Eulenburg was
brought about by Herr Maxlmlllon Harden
and it Is openly asserted that when the his
tory of the present reign Is written chron
iclers will regard Prince Eulenburg as a
dangerous and Irresponsible sdvlser to the
crown. He frequently exercised far greater
I Influence than the German chancellor hlm-
) elf.
As recently as last November, it Is de
clared, he was the leader of a court In
trigue to oust Prince Buelow from office.
The plot failed, however.

sions. ST. JOSEPH. June 22. Arrangements are
being made at the South St. Joseph stock
yards to place Inspectors at cattle scales
Monday morning, who will be retained at
the expense of the Live Stock exchange
and the packers. This Is the result of a
conference In Chicago Thursday between
representatives of the St. Joseph exchange
and the packers who have plants here. It
was agreed that the commission men no
longer shall refuse to market cows, the
sale of which was discontinued at all mar
kets, following the orders of the packers
requiring the seller to stand the loss ln
postmortem examination.
The commission men are to sell subject
to postmortem dairy cows, canners and
milch cows. The Inspectors are to examine
and designate diseased cattle and such
cattle are to be taken subject to post
mortem examination. The Kansas City
live stock commission men sent a delega
tion to St. Joseph to protest against the
ratification of this agreement, but It was
ratified.
Not Settled ln Omaha.
"We wish you would make It plain that
this controversy Is not settled so far as
South Omaha is concerned," said an official
of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange,
speaking authoritatively for that organiza
tion. "We also wish you would make It
plain that cattlemen should keep back their
stock at this time; don't flood the market.
The reasons are obvious. They should heed
tkls warning: Don't flood the market now
with cattle.
"As to the ruling to which St. Joe has
agrtted, we say simply this: We cannot
sell anything subject to post mortem ex
amination. That Is our position now, it
was our position at the outset, it will con
tinue tt be our position. We shall not re
cede fi'vm it. The settlement at St. Joe
has and can have no effect upon us In any
way whatever. That cannot be made too
plain."
FLY ATTACKS WYOMING SHEEP
Thousands' f Head Are Dylns; and
Estermlntlon of Kotlre Herd
1st Threatened.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. June 2Z (Special.)
Unless some remedy for the effects of a
new kind of parwelte fly is discovered, the
sheep industry Irr- central Wyoming and
possibly of the ent.re west, may be exter
minated. V
State Veterinarian VW. F. Pflaegtng and
Dr. Lowell Clark, agents ln charge of this
district for the bureau of animal industry,
have Just completed a preliminary Investi
gation of the ravages aid character of this
fly, and their report Is alarming. Several
thousand head of sheep in Natrona county
died from no known cnus., and It was In
investigating their death -that the new
menace to the sheep Industry was discov
ered. It has now been studied sufficiently
to permit a statement of Its lllte and effects.
This fly deposits, during the1 months of
July, August and September, ftggs in the
nasal passages and cavities of sfteep. These
eggs develop into larvae, which, at the end
of ten months, drop from the nostrils and
become flies, thus completing the circle of
development. The presence of the larvae
in the nasal cavities causes Inflammation,
which in turn produces an acute mtrvous
disorder and death.
Some method of exterminating the larvae
before inflammation sets In Is now sought,
and the veterinarians who have studied the

RAILROADS FEELING BETTER
Former President of nia Foir Says
They Can Vard Off Nerv
ousness Now.
CHICAGO. June 22. "What do I think of
the rnllrond situation?" demanded M. E.
Installs, former president of the Ri Four,
repeating the question. Th rnllronds are
looking up. The reason Is that the rall
rond people have finally gotten ro that
they can wake up In the morning and thick
of President tioosrveit wlthou having
nervous dyspepsia or stape fright, and tht
helps a good deal."
Mr. Ingalls Is spending a few dys with
his son, George Ingnlls, general freight
traffic mat.ager of the New York Central
lines west of Buffalo. Yesterday he vislle.l
many railroad officials and discussed with
them the general situation. "It was this
way," continued Mr. JnRalls, "for some
time the railroad men were afraid tho
president was going to swallow the rail
roads or confiscate them. Now thy are
beginning to find that It Is not quite so
bad as this and a more healthy condition
is the result."
"What do yon think of the president's
plan for the regulation of railroads as
outlined ln his recent speech at Indian
apolis ?"
"How can we Judge It? He talked both
ways. Evidently, when he thought of
Harrlman he let a little vltrol flow out of
his pen, and when he forgot him his dispo
sition toward the railroads grefr real
sweet. So you see you can take that
speech both ways It you are a railroad
man, but one thing is evident, and thnt is
that the railroads have to obey the law.
And this will be good for them."
"Do you see any hard times hesdod this
way?" he was asked.
"Can't say that I do, but there will be a
general slackening up of business every
where. This will not hurt tho railroads,
however, as they have got more than they
can take care of now."

executive cell ln the county Jail Mayor
Schmltz returned to the Board of Super
visors last evening the municipal budget
and a message vetoing the appropriation
of $720,000 for the reconstruction of the
Geary street road. Schmitz, beside oppos
ing the appropriation for the Geary street
railway, also objected to the levy of a
special tax of 20 cents to raise revenue for
the city government. Acting Mayor Gal
lagher said last night that Schmitz' right
to pass upon the budget was not questioned
by the board.
The first actual clash between Chief of
Police Dlnan and acting Mayor Gallagher
came yesterday, when Dlnan flat-footedly
refused to recognize Gallagher's signature
as that of the mayor of San Francisco.
The signature was on a fight permit Issued
to the Central Athletic club for a series of

brine to him a permit signed by Eugene E.
Schmitz.

STATE DEPARTMENtTnQUIRES
Cables to San Salvador Concerning;
Imprisonment of Two Americana
In that Country.
WASHINGTON, June 22. The state de
partment todny cabled an inquiry to Ameri
can minister at San Salvador, Merry, re
specting the reasons for the imprisonment
In that capital of George and Edward
Molssant, who are reported to be Ameri
can citizens. It is said they were origin
ally from California, but have for many
! years engaged In business ln San Salvador,
being connected with one of the principal
banks of that country and having other
large Interests In the country. The press
reports say that the Molssants have be-
l come active In the politics of San Salvador
and were connected with the recent revolu
tionary attack on Acajutla. On the other
hand, it is Intimated that their refusal to
submit to that Latin-American Institution
known as the "forced loan" Is the couse of
their persecution. If they are not native,
but naturalized citizens of America, they
may have lost that citizenship under the
provisions of an act of the last congress.

OGDEN, June 22. Two carloads of .eleg
raphers from Baltimore and Philadelphia
In charge of six Plnkerton detectives,
passed through Ogden today on their way
to San Francisco. They are to take ths
places of the striking operators of 8an
Francisco. Members of tho party said
the strike ln San l'rancico had been an
ticipated. SAN FRANCISCO. June 21-The situa
tion here In connection with the strike ol
the telegraphers Is quiet. In all about 200
men are out on a conservative estimate,
and the service Is now maintained In tha
offices of both companies by offlclala, in
cluding chief operators and wire chiefs,
together with one or two men and women
who have remained loyal.
General Superintendent Frank Jaynes of
the Western I'nlon Is accredited with ths
statement that the company hoped to b
running fairly well In another week, when
outsldo operators were expected to arrlt
to fill tho plr.ces of the strikers. It wa
learned last night that fifteen operator
for the Western I'nlon were on their way
to San Francisco from the east and had
passed through Rawlins, Wyo. It is be
lieved the company has had these men In
reserve ln anticipation of tho strike, and
that it has arranged for others to follow
them. Superintendent Jaynes has refused
to make any definite admissions about th
strike breaking operators the company In
tends to Import.
As to wb.ether the strike shall be ordered
to extend to other cities remains to be de
termined. The Postnl and Western I'nlon
officials Insist they will hold no conference
with the officials of the union. If they re
main obdurate the telegraphers In other
cities may be called out, thus tlelng up all
the commercial telegraph business of th
west.
Advent of Cabinet Officers.
The three cabinet officers who are com
ing to San Francisco are not, it Is said,
expected to settle tho present strike, ac
cording to th conciliation committee. That,
body announced yesterday that the pres
ence of the three secretaries would not bo
used as a means of bringing about Indus
trial peace, but simply for the purpose of
education and obtaining their views on th
general relations between capital and
labor. It Is hoped that the local strike
will be settled before the peace conference
takes place.
The places of the striking csr men are
fast being filled and according to the
United Railroad officials there are not
enough Jobs left now to go around among
them, even If they were willing to return
to work. The company now has 1,000 men
In its employ and this number Is being
augmented at the rate of thirty or forty
a day.
Companies Make Headway.
Superintendent A. H. May of the Western
Union company said this morning that
the situation had Improved somewhat and
ln fact was better than had been expected.
Between fifty and sixty operators were at
work nearly one-third of the usual force
and considerable business was being han
dled. Applications for employment were
coming In and a speedy Increase In the
number of men at work was expected.
AH former employes requesting reinstate
ment will be dealt with as Individuals, th
company absolutely refusing to recognize
the union In any manner. Referring to
statements made yesterday by President
Small of the Telegraphers' union, Mr. May
said: The assertion that we have refused to
treat with our own employes Is absolutely
untrue. We hsve always and alwavs will
give their claims full consideration. Neither
has the company repeatedly refused re
quests for Increased wages, ss Mr. Small
state. No request for an Increase has
reached me. I may add that in many cases
we have raised salaries. In some instance
above the rate demanded by the union.
General Superintendent W. L. Storer of
the Postal Telegraph company said:
We are tiding over the trouble very well,
considering tbe circumstances. Nearly oner
third of our former office force Is on duty
and business is being handled, of course,
subject to delay. As yet few application
for positions have reached me, but thesi
may be expected by Monday. The outlook
is encouraging.
All the private wire to brokers' office
were out of commission and th wire to
th Merchant' exchange, the Mining ex
change and the San Francisco Stock and
Bond exchange were not working. Tho
strike had no effect on prices of any of
the exchanges.
