ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE VISITORS
Social Functions Will Not Bo Per
. mltted to Distract tbo Dclclratca
from tho Work of ho
Confereaeo.t
THS HAGUE. June 1 Ths general plan
of the proceedings at tho second peace con
ference probably will follow closely the
procedure of the first congress, held In 1899.
Practically nothing has been worked out In
advance. The arrangements up to the pres
ent time simply cover the opening session,
when Mr.' Nelldoff, the Russian ambassa
dor, to France, will call the conference to
order and 'make an address extending his
sovereign's greetings to the delegates. Dr.
Jonkhcer D. A. W. Van Tets Van Goudraln,
the Dutch minister for foreign affairs, will
reply In an address of welcome on behalf
of Queen Wllhelmina. Thereafter, It will
remain for the conference to decide how It
will proceed.
It ts safe to assume, however, that the
general line of procedure of the former
conference will be duplicated. The first
thing In order will be the appointment of
committees to consider the various subjects
inscribed upon the Russian program. These
will hardly number more than five. Unless
the question of the reduction or limitation
of armaments Is injected Into the proceed
ings at the outset, in which event the matn
struggle may be at once precipitated, the
plenary body probably will not meet again
for ten days or a fortnight, in order that
the committees may have an. opportunity
to prepare reports for submission.
In general. It Is not expected that the full
conference will meet more than once a
week until the work of the committees
Justifies more frequent sessions.
Opening Session Public.
Tho opening session. It Is expected, will
be publio to the extent at least of admitting
a few distinguished guests and press repre
sentatives, but the sessions of the confer
ence and of the committees will be secret.
Tho question of giving out a publio state
ment of the progress made will be decided
by the conference Itself.
In ISM Russia attempted to shroud the
proceedings In mystery and secrecy, but
after a fortnight It was found that this
course led to the publication of so many
mischievous rumors that several semt-ofD-,
statements were IsaiMwl. This Mr
any of tho delegates, realising tho ad.
aatagraof atopplqcths mouths of ths sen
sation ' mongers, 'favor the Issuance, dairy.
If possible, of a brief seml-offlolal state
ment The French language, as In U98.
will bo ths official language of tho confer- I
onoe, although the advent of the South
American l and tht growing influence of
English may lead to some relaxation of the
rule with regard to the debates and may re
sult In a compromise, such as was arranged
at the peaos conference at Portsmouth,
whereby the ' protocols, or minutes, wore.
Inscribed In both Frenoh and English, al
though the French text was to bo regarded
as official In case of dispute.
Entertainment of Delegates.
The government's official entertainment of
the delegates will not be lavish, but rather
will bo In the same good taste as Is Its atti
tude with refsrenoe to ths program. Noth
ing will be arranged which could In any
way Interfere with the work of tho con
ference. Parliament has appropriated 100.
000 gulden (10.000) for the reception of the
country's guests, but this covers tho ex
penses In connection with the sitting of
the "Hall of the Knights." In addition the
government will give an entertainment, the
nature of which has not been definitely de
termined, except that It will not be an even
ing reception. More probably It will take
tho form of a day trip or excursion to some
Interesting historical spot. Tho municipal
ity will give a formal reception. Queen
'Wllhelmina,, out of her privy purse, will
also entertain tho delegates as a body. In
1898 she received them in the old royal pal
ace at Amsterdam, but this year she will
offer her hospitality at Het Loo, her coun
try seat, about an hour's run from The
II ague
Beyond these official functions there will
' bo much private entertaining by the Dutch
aristocracy and among the diplomats them
selves. In addition, the delegates will not
laok for distraction In their Idle moments.
Tho otty Is almost Ideal in the summer. It
ties picturesquely In a low, green land
scape, threaded with canals and dotted
with characteristic Dutch windmills, and
Is always cooled by tho breeses of tho sea,
. two miles away. Tho streets are quiet and
ths homes and villas of tho Dutch arlstoo
raey, bearing testimony to ths fortunes
amassed In the Bast Indies, give It an air
of elegant oomopol It anlam.
Minister Kill Is extremely anxious that
the ceremony of the laying of the corner
stone of the Palace of Peace, to which An
drew Carnegie has subscribed 11,600.000, shall
taks plsoe before the conference adjourns.
TU site tf the building has been chosen
In a park called the "Benoordenhoutsche
Felder," but the plana have not yet been
definitely approved. The lowest estimate
of the duration of the conference la six
weeks, and the prevailing belief Is that It
V.-I11 be In session hetween two snd three
months.
rtrltlsh lie-f -.In i meted
IjONPON. Juie J Although The Hague
conference ir- ' within a fortnight, the
Itrttlsh dolfg have not yet been In
structed as to ti e attitude they shall main
tain. This delay In notifying ths delegates
ts the result of the hesvy parliamentary
program, which keepa the members of
the cabinet busy, snd ths difficulties the
government hss had since the collspso of
1rlrt council's hill.
F-van Prims Minister CamDbell-Banr .4
man's proposal for a reduction In ex
penditures for armaments has not yet been
outlined, and wtille thoee members of the
government favoring discussion of ths sub
ject still maintain that it should be brought
up, ' there Is a strong feeling thst, after
all. It might be better to drop the matter
cr leave It tor some other power to In
troduce.
The government certainly Is greatly dls
sppolnted at the manner In which the que
tlon has been received, ths United States
sad Spain being the only powers showing
any enthusiasm for It.
Oreat Britain Is anxious to do nothing at

PUBLIC ANGERED AT EUGENIE
Resent Action Bronaht by Her to
Recover Articles Now in
Public Museums.
PARIS. June 1 The 111 feeling of the
French maases toward former Empress
Eugenie, widow of Napoleon III, has been
strikingly illustrated. Ths ex-empress, who
since her return from exile, has divided her
time between the Hotel Continental In
Paris, whence shs could look out over the
gsrdens of the Tullleries, where she once
reigned supreme, and the watering resorts
of the Rlveria, some months sgo brought
suit to recover a large number of articles
now housed In ths French nations! mu
seums on the ground that they had been
the "personal" property of her husband
and were of "no hlstorlo and little In
trinsic value." Ths case attracted no at
tention at the time and practically went
by default, but recently when the court
decided In the empress' favor a tremendous
outcry was raised. The popular news
papers took the matter up, the empress
was called an "adventuress" and many of
the old stories prejudicial to her fame were
revived.
Tho Matin, under the caption "Au Voleur"
(stop- thief). Investigated the empress'
claim and found that the articles given
her by the court Included gifts to Napoleon
HI by sovereigns and foreign states, price
less tapestries, paintings and other objects
of art and, what most aroused ths Irs of
the populaceJ some relics of the great Na
poleon.. The experts employed by the paper
appraised the value of the "plunder" at
close to ll.OPO.OOO. The reault Is that the
government, in deference to the clamor,
has formally entered an appeal against the
decision.

COMMISSION IS ASSAILED
Missouri Pi c;flo Question Legality of tho
Kan tag Bod.
CASE IS TO GO TO THE HIGHEST COURT
Claim ia get l Legislature Has Ho
Power to Deles;no Functions to
Any Board, out Most Aet
. for Itself.
TOPEKA, Kan., June X-Ths very ex
istence of tho Kansas State Board of Rail
road commissioners will be attscked In the
supreme court here tomorrow when a case
Involving ths Missouri Psclflo rallwsy
comes up, according to B. P. Waggoner,
state senator and general attorney for that
company. The decision promises to be far
reaching. Tho Missouri Pacific will contest
a recent order of the board requiring the
railway to establish a dally passenger ser
vice on what Is known as tho Madison
branch, a small 11ns extending from Kansas
Into Missouri. Ths people along the line
say they are entitled to this service, al
though a report of a referee appointed to
tsks evidence has filed a report declaring
the business of ths road does not Justify
it. An application made for a writ of man
damus to compel ths road to maintain this
service will be argued tomorrow before the
supreme court. It ia understood the state
will ask to have the report of the referee
set aslds and the supreme court order the
service established. Mr. Waggoner is
quoted as saying he would attack the whole
law creating the boars, and If the supreme
court decides against him the case would be
taken to the United States supremo court.
Attorney Waggoner said: "It Is a recog
nised principle of law, coming to us from
numerous decisions of the supreme court,
that a commission created by tho legisla
ture Is an agent of that body and that Its
powers are purely of a legislative nature.
Whatever orders a board or- commission
may make are simply ths acts of. this board
as the agents of the legislature.
"We will try to -show that the legisla
ture has no right to delegate these powers
to a board. Wo will try to show that these
acts must be done by the legislature and
not by a board.
"They talk about government ownership
of railroads. If this law creating and de
fining; the powers of the Kansas Board of
Railroad commissioners Is valid Kansas has
absolute control over the railroads. It has
the same power over the roads that it
would have If the state owned them."
MEMORIAL TO MRS. M'KINLEY
Pastor of Church tn Canton Which
ho Attended Delivers the
Address.
CANTON, O., June 1 The services at the
First Methodist Episcopal church todsy
were a memorial in honor of Mrs. Mc
Klnley, who was a member of that church.
Revv E. O. Buxton, D. D., who conducted
the . funeral services . of Mrs. McKlnley
Tuesday, delivered tho address. A draped
portrait of Mrs. MoKinley was. placed in
front of the rostrum.. .' American flags and
carnations and potted plants were the deco
rations. Speaking of her keen Judgment of men
and conditions. Rev, Buxton said:
Her knowledge of men and measures was
superior, and often the president deferred
to her judgment. But her confidence In his
abilities and her faith In the integrity of
his charaoter were remarkable. She felt
that he deserved success and the generous
people would not withhold it when It was
well earned. A favorite expression of hers
during the many political campaigns was,
"He ought to succeed, and therefore will
succeed."
One short phrase used perhaps a hun
dred times dally, after the Buffalo trag
edy. Illustrates the character of Mrs. Mc
Klnley better than any words I may be
able to choose. The words "My Precious"
contained the epitome of all the loyalty,
fidelity and constant love which a woman
can ever render to man. Who that ever
heard can forget the manner in which
she pronounced those words?
Her faith inspired him. her confidence
assured him. her very weakness strength
ened him. Her devotion to his memory has
perhaps never been excelled among women.
Ills name wss constantly upon her Hps.
With Justifiable pride she spoke of his vir
tues, the noble qualities of mind and heart
and his surpassing affection was manifest In
every act towards her.
CRCKER IN IRISH POLITICS
Hinor that tho ' Kew York Boss
May Desire to Enter
Parliament.
LONDON, June 1 The newspapers are
reviving, the report that Richard Croker
cherishes an ambition to enter the British
Parliament as an Irish nationalist member.
Recently Mr. Croker has taken an Interest
In the work of the nationalists, made con
tributions to the party funds, lent auto
mobiles for electioneering purposes and
Identified himself with the party by ap
pearing on the platform at the recent con
vention in Dublin. It is doubtful, however.
If Mr. Croker would be willing to fore
swear his American citizenship and more
doubtful If he could find a constituency de
siring to take him up as a candidate, or If
the psrty leaders would welcome the ac
quisition of a politician of such a master
ful nsture.
A member of tbe Irish nationalists re
marked to the Associated Press that the
party would not welcome any attempt to
Introduce American "machine" methods
Into Its politics. ' '
Mr. Croker's health, however. Is a bar
, rler to his re-embarklng In active work of
any sort. He shows the we'ght of his r.l
years, although he Is s'.in vigorous. II s
recent Illness was more stvere than pub
lished reports lnd'cstd. The doctors pro
nounced It Br'ght's discs' ard at one time
almost gave un hone for his recovery, but
they finally declard liim, cure, although
they warred b'm t!-n? he must take greater
care of h'mself In the future.

NO POLITICSJN CONVENTION
Cattlemen Said to Be Main t In
Favor of tho Poller of tho
President.
DENVER. Colo., June I Governor Buch
tel, who Issued ths call. In accordance with
resolutions adopted by the general aasem
bly of Colorado, for a publio land conven
tion, to be held In Denver June IS, It and 30,
declared today that there shall be no poll
tics Injected Into the gathering If he csn
prevent it. When he sent out the cell ho
distinctly and emphi.tU'ally stated that the
purpose of the convention was In no way to
antagonise President Roosevelt and his ad
ministration, with reference to the publio
land question. Tho program prepared for
the convention by a committee of which
United Statea Senator Teller Is chairman,
provides for the shaping of a more liberal
potlcy to be submitted to congress for the
enactment of lawo which will make for
the development of tho.westerin states by
bringing more people to take up the landa
and to till them.
The American National Stock Growers'
association, whose last convention en
dorsed the gracing and forestry policies of
the administration, will be a factor In the
coming convention. Secretary T. W. Tom
llnson of the association has been making
a canvass by letter of the members on
the matter to corns before the convention.
Some of the questions he put to them
were:
Do you favor some form of government
control of the public graning lands under
regulations that will nt me conaiuons ior
What arrangements will be best suited to
your section, an absolute lease with fenc
ing rights or a permit to run live stock on
the public lands with proper protection?
Are vou familiar with the syptem of gen
eral gfszing of live stock on forest reserves,
snd do you approve It? If not. what are
your objections and whst would you sug
gest? To 1,000 letters Mr. Tomllnson has received
nearly 200 replies, and they are favorable
to some plan of government control and
regulation of all public lands in nine cases
out of ten. Most of them want the gov
ernment leasing system, with fencing priv
ileges. Some want grazing permits from
the government. Ninety per cent of them
believe thst government control will give
the little as well as the big stock growers
a sauare deal.
So favorable have been
the replies to the administration's policies
that the big stock association 1s now con
sidered to be fully enlisted In the cham
pionship of tho president's cause.
CATHEDRAL CORNERSTONE LAID

Chorch.
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 2. The corner
stone of the fourth cathedral of St. Paul,
which, when completed four years henni,
will probably surpass any other American
church In architectural distinction and
beauty, was laid this afternoon. Partici

exemplified the increase of a Catholio
population from 5,000 In 1861, when ths
diocese of St. Paul was erected, to 600,000
In 1907, when after fifty-six years tho
former dlooese, embracing Minnesota and

Facing Summit avenue, the new cathe

L'ntqao In Two Respects I
Trade Trip on Reoord

Biggest
nd
l The great northwest trada excursion or
Omaha business men Is on its way.
It left Omaha, "Tho Market Town," yes
terday. The big clock In the Burlington station
marked the hour of 2. "All aboard,"
shouted half a dozen conductors and
porters, striving to make themselves
heard above tho din of tbe crowd. The
engine bell began to ring, a puff of smoke
shot upward from tho smokestack, the
cars began to move alowly. 0
The train really acted Just as many
ordinary trains have acted.
A cheer arose from the great crowd;
a thousand handkerchiefs and hats wers
waved; tho excursionists crowded ths
windows and doors of ths cars and waved
and bowed tn response. The cars moved
fasten A switch engine helping the
heavy train of eight cars get started
j chugged past, and ths greatest trade ex-
curslon ever undertaken by any comtner-
clal organisation In tho history of ths
United States was on Its way.
Big Crowd of Spectators.
Though the hour set for departure was
unseasonably close to the hour of Sun
day dinner, an Immense crowd was at
ths station to see tho big excursion oft.
There was a general Impression that- the
train would leave at least an hour after
the scheduled timo.- "Excursion trains are
always late," said the worldly wise. But
these learned that the excursion in ques
tion Is an excursion of Omaha business
men, who have the name of doing every
thing on time, and the cars went out of
Omaha on time to the minute and with
everyone aboard who belonged there.
A baggage car and a combination bag
gage and smoking car headed the train.
Then came the big diner; following which
were the sleepers, while a sleeping and
observation car brought up the rear. Tne
sides of the baggage car were completely
covered with signs setting forth In let
ters three feet high that the magnificent
train Is tha "Great Northwest Trade Ex
cursion" of "Omaha, The Market Town."
At the end of tha last car a great red
disk contained the words "'For Omaha."
Anto Only Thlnat Missing;.
The only thing I can find missing,"
said one business man. "Is on automobile
speedway and garage on the train. We've
got everything else we are accustomed to
at home."
And it was almost literally true. So
thoroughly had tho preparations been
made that there was almost every pro
vision for "all the comforts of home."
One of the baggage cars contained pro
visions of all kinds to be drawn on by
the colored artists In charge of the diner.
The other car contained sundry big trunks
of literature r and souvenirs which will
servo to keep In the minds of the people
vi.ited thst Omaha ' Is "The Market
j Towb;
n-u nnan&ner. ' correspondents, be
sides a special press agent, accompanied
the train and will keen the people at
home and tn other cities' Informed of the
progress of the campaign and of the ex

VALUABLE PAINTING FOUND
St. Jerome of Titian Purchased In
Honduras by St. Louis
Man.
S. LOUIS. Mo.. June i.-rartward Sells of
St. Louis believes he has Identified a paint-
Ing he purchased a year ago for less than
1100 ss the famous "St. Jerome," painted
by Titian, about 1B31. No trace of the paint-
Ing has been had since about 1S29.
Sells purchased the picture from Allison
K. Stewsrt, a St. Louis mining engineer,1 to
whom it wss given In 1900 by a padre ln
the mountains of Hondurss after Stewart
had given' him a liberal offering of silver
for his poor. ' ,
In 1631 Titian painted '8t. Jerome" by or

malned ln Honduras. It is Sells' theory
that the painting was carried to Honduras
by his men.
Stewart obtained the picture In the town
of Snn Geronlmo.iof which St. Jerome was
the patron saint.
Sells has received a letter from Mrs.
Julia Ady, an English biographer of Titian,
saying Bhe bellves he has the Titian "St.
Jerome." The 'painting Itself shows It Is
very old. The canvas is hand-made and
filled with red clay, after two customs of
the renaissance period. St. Louis artists
say the painting bears several defects pe
culiar to Titian's work. They estimate the
value of the - painting, if It Is the Titian
"St. Jerome," to be about $100,000.
PERKINS TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
Coroner Thinks Circumstances
clnslve and Will Hold No
Inquest.
Cos.
LAWRENCE. Kan., June 2.-L. H. Per
kins, aged 61 years, one of the best known
lawyers tn Kansas, who was killed yester
day by falllrg or Jumping fifty fe.'t from the
roof of his handsome residence in this city,
is believed by County Coroner Carl Phillips
to have committed suicide. Dr. Phillips
said today:
"I have decided that an Inquest Is not
necessary, nor Is an autopsy, because there
Is no evidence of crime. I have no way of
knowing now whether Mr. Perkins had
taken an opiate in any form or poison be
fore he went to the roof, but I believe his
falling from the root waa Intentional and
not accidental."
Mr. Perkins' life was Insured for $500,000,
It Is believed. He la known to have csrrled
$360,000 ln four big companies; to have been
negotiating for more Insurance, and to have
belonged to many fraternal societies. Most
of the Insurance policies had been taken
out by Mr. Perkins within a year.
Mr. Perkins had been a member of the
State Board of Law Examiners s'.ce Its
creation, and last year he was president of
tha State Bar association.

SCME FEATURES HAVt BEEN GIVEN CUT
State Has Kept Its Hand Well Con

Since the Defendants Were

BOISE, Idaho, June 1. The work of se
curing a jury In the case of William W
Hivwnnil. rharved n'lth the murder of
to be in his normal condition. He waa
out early In front of the court house and
walked In the sun, afterward sitting with
members of his family among the pleasant
surroundings of well-kept lawns and
rosebushes fragrant with blossoms.
Judge Fremont Wood haa stated that ho
Is determined a Jury shall be secured to
morrow If possible. Forty-eight talesmen
remain of the ventre of sixty-one, sum
moned last week. Only one more peremp
tory challenge can be exercised and this
lies with the defense, tho prosecution hav
ing exhausted Its last peremptory chal
lenge on Friday. This leaves two mora
to qualify, If the defenso should see fit
to exercise Its last challenge. That they
will do so Is admitted by counsel, but it
Is not expected that there will be much
difficulty In Qualifying the two men out
of the talesmen yet to be examined.
Should this not be done within the regular
hours. It is quite prohabla that Judge
Wood will hold a night session.
Statement of Case,
With a Jury secured iVfore court adjourns
i tomorrow night, the case for the state will
1 b opened by James H. Hawley, leading
counsel, on Tuesday morning. This, the

assassin oi tne lormra governor, mans a
sworn statement Implicating what is called
the "inner circle" of the Western Federa
tion of Miners In the plot to murder Bteun
enberg and In a series of crimes extend
ing over many years of the history of la
bor and mining troubles In Idaho. Within
a few days after Orchard made this state
ment Moyer, the president of the Western
' feneration oi m,nr., n.)-.u,
, tarv and treasurer of the organization, and
! P'ttlbone. a member, were arrested ln Den-
ver on extradition warrants and brought
to this state on a special train under cir
cumstances that have aroused much dis
cussion since the arrest and which have
been carried to the highest court ln order
that the rights of the prisoners might bo
preserved.
Confession of Orchard.
Intimation fif wha; Orchard has statoi
ln his confession has come from one source
and another, and from time to time In the
last year, but it may be stated positively
thst very little Is known of the contents of
the confession which will figure. It Is stated,
as the most sensational feature of tha case
against Haywood, the first of the prisoners
charged with the murder to be placed HtMM
trial.
It Is believed that the state haa tn ro
ssroe much to corroborate Orchard's teetl
money. Orchard will be a witness, hut
counsel for ths state does not propose to
rely upon hla ovldence. Every point bear
ing on Haywood's connection With the ao
tual murder of Steunenberg must, the prose
cutlon openly state, be corroborated before
they can hop 'to prove their case. In the
work of securing this corroboration the
Plnkerton detective agency has figured
largely. It may be said that the best men
of their force have been engaged on It for
the last twelve months. Captain James Mc.
Portland, famous as the principal figure in
rrfany detective stories of real life within
the last twenty yeara, has directed the
work. He makes the statement that ho be
lieves he has a complete cose.
Defense Not Idle.
On the other hand, the defense of Hay.
wood has been as busily at work as the
orosecutlon. Other scores of detectives
have followed every clue end every Intima
tion of what the Plnkerton agency waa
doing. A large amount of money, estimated
to be as much as Mo,000, has bean sub
scribed by the members of the Western
Federation of Miners, an organization with
' actively conducting the case, while two or
ahree are In reserve. Counsel for the de
! ,en" a"ert tnat Orchard's Implication of
'their clients was made out of the whole
cloth and that the Western Federation of
Miners had nqthlnc to do with tha Steunen
berg assassination. It la charged that
