SLIGHT CHANGE IS MADE IN VERBIAGE It Pro-rides far Conciliation on Ittaei Hot CoTtred by Arbitration. RENDERS CHANCES OF WAR MORE REMOTE Inreiticatioft of Disputes to le Made Be fore Hostilities Are Begun. LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT IS TAKEN UP Interparliamentary talon Ar to Resolution Askings Th. Hague Coafercaee la Conaldr the Saajael. LONDON", July 24 William J". Bryan's proponed rider to the model arbitration treaty waa discussed at a session of the International council of the Interparlia mentary union this moraine nd resulted In It being recaat as follow: If a disagreement should arise which Is nut Included In those to he submitted to arbitration, the contracting parties shall not resort to any act of hostility befoie they separately or Jointly Invite, a the esse may necessitate, the formation of an international commission or Inanity or me illation of one or more friendly powers. In n reoti s t on to take Dlace. If necessary in accordance with article vlll of The Hague reinvention, providing for a peaceful settle ment of International-conflicts. On the resumption of the sessions of the conference of the Interparliamentary union today the above was unanimously adopted, after speeches by former Austrian Minister of Commerce von Plener and Mr. Bryan, warmly supporting the amended rider. The latter said that his amendment waa alined at widening the scope of arbitration so as to Include questions of national honor, the chances being loo to 1 that the proposed Investigation of facts would also settle any question of national honor. If the hand of war could b stayed until the conscience awakened, wars would become more re mote. Th amendment therefore was a iong strp In the direction of peace. Mi. Bryan'a speech waa brief but eloquent and aroused much enthusiasm among the delegates. Disarmament Considered. Baron 'dEstournelles de Constant, head of the French delegation, subsequently opene. (he debate on the limitation of mili tary 'find naval forces. He declared that If the powers were undecided among them selves how to act for their common Inter ests they would be forced to do so, first by bankruptcy und then by revolution. He said that limitation of srmaments had no connection with the chimera of disarma ment. The arguments against disarmament were based on the augmented expenditure . of the power. The argumentations In ths United States were due to the unfortunate example of Europe, but in proportion to th population tlto American forces had not , Ij'-nt tnoreaaed rr aeon, bly , and ;Wsw ex, 'pe.udltuie hud been augmented proportion ately, the arms.rr.ents proving the Inaptitude - of. the Americans to transform themselves Into a nation of soldiers. Germany, continued the baron, commits the' grave fault of struggling with the I lilted Slates for naval pre-eminence and thus divides Its energies both on land and sea useleisly, for the American states were united and Inaccessible, while the states of Europe ' were divided and will always be pienaced by the possibility of a coalition against them. A resolution was agreed to in principle Lining that the question of disarmament be pluced on the program of the next peace conference at The Hague. The uxact wording of the resolution wilt be discussed tomorrow. Congressman U. L. I Granger of Rhode Island was elected Tlce president of the American delegation for the coming year and Congressmen Richard Bart hold t of Missouri and T. E. Burton of Ohio wer elected members of i hu International council. SH0SH0NI PEOPLE UP IN ARMS Sensational New.puper Reports Canao Press Correspondents to Pob llely Shore Their Copy. 8HOKIIONI.

Pa., July tf.-From the statement made by District Attorney John 8. Robb today there are more sensations indicated In connection with the HarU divorce case than have heretofore been die closed. Mr. Robb, while attending th hearing, said today that as soon as th Hartje case was submitted to the court there would be arrests which would de velop pronounced sensations. It is expected that a great legal battle will lake place when Hartje's attorneys endeavor to show how the Madlne love letters were secured. After several hours devoted by counsel for Augustus Hartje to the endeavor to prove the 8usle Wagner letter was written by Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, which she has denied writing, the evidence In rebuttal of Mrs. Hartje's defense took a new turn to dav. B. B. Smith, an Insurance agent, gwore that he found the -Dear F.dith" letter In the street, and after consulting an attorney, gave it to Edward G. Hartje, brother of the plaintiff. ' Silas Canaily, a negro from Washington, D. C. testified that Blanche Ashby, the ncgress and former servant of the Hartjes, who in her deposition says she never ob served anything Improper about Mrs. Hartjes conduct, hud told him that she lied. Canady'a sensational testimony came Just before the adjournment, but he was put through a rigid cross-examination by Attorney Freeman, for Mrs. Hartje, dur ing which ha became confused several times. Mr. Freeman will finish tha cross examination tomorrow. Canady said that when he learned Blanche Ashby was going to get a lot of money for lying he wrote to Mr. Hartje for telling the truth.

It is a letter to "Tom" Madine, the coachman cq-respond-ent in the case, and purporting to show that she "coached" him as to the testi mony he was to give in court concerning the allegation that Madlne had driven Mr. Hartje to Schenley park while Mrs. Hartj was at Memphis - and where he met a strange woman, an incident that has figured in the esse heretofore.

Shaw, who testified yesterday that he knew that an c" combine existed here and that the alleged Ice trust made and controlled the wholesale and retail prices of Ice. lie was subjected to a severe cross examin ation, which developed the fact that he knew nothing whatever on which to base his declaraatlon of yesterday. Other Ice peddlers testified that all the ice companies advanced the price of Ice simultaneously here and the witnesses admitted that an advance In prices was advantageous to the peddlers ,ss they then made larger profits. Only one peddler testi fied thst he bought ice indiscriminately from all of the Ice companies.

Therj Is sbsolutely nothing to It."

IN CONFERENCES Doaen Meeting of Re rnlntlonlsta of arylna Shades of Opinion Held In Secret In St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSRCRG. July 24. War to th. knife with revolution, and tha knife to the hilt, was proclaimed today hy Premier Htolypln In a telegram addressed to the governor generals, governors and prefects throughout Russia and to the viceroy of the Caucasus, who are ordered to strike and spare not In efforts to preserve order and crush the "enemies of society." Included In this category, as shown by the events of the day, arc not only rev olutloulHta und socialists, but also the edu cated liberal, and landed classes repre sented In the constitutional democratic party whoso clubs everywhere have been closed, and all the progresslvo newspaper which are not permitted to lift their vole, anywhere throughout the entire laud. Text of the Address. Premier Stolypln's telegram Is as fol lows; . . In conformity with Instructions re ceived from the empetnr with the"vlew to securing full co-operation between the dif ferent local authorities, 1 hereby inform you that the government expects you to cxerclne vigilant and untiring supervision over your subordinates so that order may be promptly und dellnltely restored. Dis turbances must be suppressed and revolu tionary movements must be put down by all legal means. The measures you take must be carefully considered. The struggle begun Is against the enemies of society, and not against society Itself. Consequently wholesale repression cannot be approved. Improvident and Illegal acts are likely to give rise to discontent Instead of conduc ing to calm and cannot be tolerated. The Intentions of the emperor are Immutahle. The government firmly desires to assist in the amendment of the legal procedure and the laws hitherto enforced which no longer serve their purpoHe. The old regime will oe regeneratea, nut order must be fully maintained. You must act upon your own Inltlstlve as you are Invested with re sponsibility. Firm and vigorous steps taken on these lines will doubtless be upheld by the nest part ot society. rne manifesto bears a remarkable simil arity to the earlier compositions of Min isters of the Interior von Plehv. snd Bou- ligln, and the reactionary press has had slight difficulty in cutting It down, as they already had done with yesterday's imperial manifesto, into an appeal to the "leagus of Russian men," and other old school Russians to rise and smite all the progress sK? eluMa.' C 'v V- EVen before the declaration of the dis solution of ths lower house of parltam.nt tho war office had perfected Its plans for handling expected disorders, both military and civilian. General Muller Zakomelsky, who suppressed the Sebastopol revolt and co-operated with General Rennenkampf In the reduction of the Siberian rebellion last winter, was recalled from the command of a corps and placed at th. disposition of the war office to be used wherever trouble may first be manifested. Both the govern ment and the revolutionists expect this outbreak in the south and that It will roll north to the two capitals. This may In duce the proletariat to postpone the dec laration of a general strike from St. Peters burg until contagion is borne up from the south. The railroaders, however, are anxi ous to have this strike declared at once. , members of the Railway Employes' union, with whom the Associated Press corre spondents here and In Moscow have talked, declared that they were ready to walk out nt the first call from Ihe League of Leagues, with which tho union Is federated. Tha strictest censorship over news of military disorders Is maintained. As an example, the mutiny at Brest-Lltovsk, July 1.1, when a band of artillerymen from the fortress fired on the officers' club, killing two officers, has been transformed Into a fire, destroying the house of the. officers' club. The ministry is obtaining slight Bid from the forces of society nt large In pulling through its policy. Mm. Shlpuft and (luclioff and practically all the others who have been approached have refused flatly to participate In the enlarged cabinet pro posed. Of the members of the late Parlia ment only Prince Nikolai Lvoft of Saratov, who. though a constitutional democrat, la a personal friend of Premier Ptolypln, Is understood to have given the plan favora ble consideration, and It Is said tonight that he probably will accept a ministry wit hout a portfolio. Members of Duma In Conference. The Constitutional Democratic club and two other political clubs were closed to night by order of the police authorities. A caucus of constitutional democrats was luing l M at the club at the time. Prince Paul Dolgourokoff, chaiiman of the central executive committee appointed at Vlboig on Monday, has called a meeting of that committee which will arrange a secret caucus tomorrow to discuss further tactic. Moscow constitutional d'iucrsts ate recommending the summing of a national convention of the party, but this will scarcely be iillo-.ved by 'The authorities.
