INTERESTING HOLLAND BUILDING fracture Gives Feeling of Solidity and Strength Massive Archi tecture Lends Repose Colors Are Perfect. TUB HAGUE, Juno -.-(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 Is 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 ths future has not yet been built. The old meeting place of the last conference, the "Huls ten Bosch" near The Hague 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 Dlnnenhof, 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 comniodl' ous and suitable quarters were found on the east side of the courtyard of the Dlnnenhof Itself, where the old committee rooms are once more at the service of the delegates. Most Interesting Building. The building Is perhaps the most Inter esting In all Holland 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 thu 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 small 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 side 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 Gothlo In its character. Its strong, square buttresses end In round pinnacles at the line of the machicolations which defend ths fortress palace of Count Florts and the larger windows beneath -them are Inset beneath round arches In the thickness of the ma sonry. Within the feeling of solidity and strength, of absolute fitness for Its varied 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 Urgent 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. Magnificent Color Scheme. In such a setting tbe scheme of docora tlon Is on a large and dignified scale and magnificently has It been carried out by the local authorities responsible In this In stance. The coloring Is rich but substan tial and Is chiefly obtained by the lavish use of gorgeous eastern tapestries and rugs Upon the floor and walls In sombre but magnificent tints of crimsons, blues and folds; and the enormous floor space avail able has enabled the architect to arrange with convenience and even beauty, for the seating of two hundred and fifty represen tatives from nearly fifty nations. A strange romance at Tpres has Just cul minated In the marriage of a convict who Is undergoing life imprisonment In the lo cal 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 ronvtct 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 the civil ceremony the bride and groom were driven back to the prison wtth the jttnflarmes and the religious ceremony was Performed tn the prison chapel after which he convict returned to his cell. The resi dents of Tpres are now circulating a pe tition which will be presented to the au thorities asking that the convict be par toned. British-German. Rivalry. The statement of Herr Ballln, managing director of the Hamburg-American Steam ship line that the superiority of the British ver the German mercantile marine existed en paper only and that the British ships were mostly second hand tramps con struoted of the cheapest material and steaming only at the slowest speed has un doubtedly caused a great deal of Interest ksre. It Is said that the statement of Herr Ballln Is hardly accurate. However, the Herman ships do have some advantages. h Is perhaps fair to stste that the British pend the most money on the straight away work but that the Germans spend the most money on the finishings and fur Ishjngs. Then the German government helps tn many Instances the German ship ping lines by a grant of preferential rail way rates en the state-owned railways. The agent of a German shipping line In Holland, for Instance, ran quote a lower through rate to New fork than the agent f a British line because the German agent H the advantage of low rates through Jermeny.

This Important Step In the European Campaign. 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 tn substance the good ad vice which Americans are giving their countrymen newly arrived In London for the season. The advice appears to be s very necessary 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 la 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 of new tricks, for they are always up to date 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. old 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 the 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 a rr utile countryman, wno Dy a strange chance knows the 'old home well,' he Is naturally taken off his 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 who posed as a member of a millionaire New Tom lamny soia a siring oi vaiuaoie Pather Btephens wss lodged In Derry Jail horses only a few days ago to a new ar- an(, wM trled and ,entenced at Letter rival who was anxious to shine as the kenny by a Bpeclally constituted "crimes owner of the stocky The only flaw In the , court.. wlth Father McFadden. His im barcatn from the point of view of the pur- i. j .. I chaser was that after the confidence man had vanished U was discovered that the horses belonged to another and a respect able American." Swift Invades douth America. An Important contract which It Is be lieved will have a far-reaching effect on the meat trade of London has Just been signed between the Arm of Swifts of Chl- cago and La Plata Cold Storage company of Buenos Ayres. Tho purchase is re- garded as an attempt on the part of the ; packer, to obtain control of the meat ,upp,y of Arsentlna-by the way one of the chief providers of chesp beef for London along Independent lines. The American Beef trust has for some years been endeavoring to obtain control of the British meat surply In the same way as It has captured the trade tn the United States. Although tt has even obtained con tro, ot a number of stalls In the great Smlthfleld market, still It has not been quite successful In London owing to the number of countries from which chilled nd frozen meats are shipped to London. The moment the Chicago packers at- tempted to force up the prices in the Eng- ,tllh markets tt appeared as though fresh surPitee were poured tn from the markets f other countries, among them Argentina, Argentina Is now ssld to be the chief source of supply of the cheaper grades of frozen beef. Emissaries of the Chicago nseklns Interests have for some time been ' working In Argentina ana tneir ravoranie ! reports Induced the trust to make an at- , tempt to enter the market. By controlling , the American and the Argentina markets . there wlU be but little question about the j lability ot the Chicago packers to control even the markets of Great Britain. I Smoke Problem Being Studied, , There are many Instances In the history : j of mechanics and chemistry of two sclen- ! tints working towards the same end with , corresponding results yet unknown to each other.

EMPEROR CUTS EULENBERG Kaiser Wllhelm llns Found In Famous Prince a False Adviser at Lust. VIENNA, June 22. (Speclal. According to the stories told here but strictly sup pressed In Germany, 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.

LOSS OF FATHER STEVENS Splendid Specimen of Irish Prleet Whoso Death Will Do Greatly Lamented. DUBLIN, June 22. (Special.) The Bev. Daniel V. Stephens, D.

NO CHANGE AT SOUTH OMAHA Members of the Live Stock El change Say They Will Not Make Any Conces 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 In 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 Mettled In 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 yon 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 this warning: Don't flood the market now with oattle. "As to the ruling to which St. Joe has a reed, we say simply this: We cannot sell anything subject to post mortem ex amination. That Is our position now. It wns our position at the outset. It will con tinue ttt be our position. We shall not re cede fiipm t. 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 of Head Are Dying and cxirrsiisaiios or Knurs Herd 1st Threatened. CHEYENNE XVyo., June 22. (Special.) Unless some remedy for the effects of a new kind of parwslte fly Is discovered, the sheep Industry li central Wyoming and possibly of the entXre west, may be exter minated, v Stute Veterinarian (W. F. Pftaeglng and Dr. Lowell Clark, agents in charge of this district for the bureau' of animal Industry, have Just completed a preliminary Invest! gatlon of the ravages ai.vd character of this fly, and their report Is alarming. Several thousand head of sheep In Natrona county died from no known cans, 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 the- months of July, August and September, fcggs In the nasal passages and cavities of sNeep. These eggs develop Into larvae, which, at the end of ten months, drop from the noetrtls and become files, thus completing the circle of development. The presence of tha larvae tn the nasal cavities causes Inflammation, which In turn produces an acute mirvous disorder and death. Some method of exterminating the larvae before Inflammation seta In Is now sought, and the veterinarians who have studied the problem hope to attain success before ttie SDread of the files invn th- .nti.. .v - j raising district of the west. Stomachs and other parts of sheep killed by the files are now being analyzed by the Wyoming state chem-st. In order that dat, covering " the rrrti of the larvae on the entire system may be available. RIVAL FOR NEVADA GOI.DFIELDS Copper Mountain District Has Future, Says Mayor Kinney. Dll CHEYENNE. Wyo.. June 22.-(Spec1al.)-Mayor James F. Kinney of Thermopolls, who Is In Cheyenne, says the Burlington's extension south from Worland Is expected to reach Thermopolls early In October and thereafter will be pushed southward through the Copper mountain mining dis trict. The Copper mountain district, Mr. Kinney predicts, will before long become a rival of the Nevada gold fields. Prospec tors are arriving there by scores and new strikes are reported s'most dally. Already there are half a dozen producing mines, with several million dollars worth of ore In sight. Tho advent of the Burlington will glve the 0,trlct its first railway and will re,uit in the ores of the district going no rthward to Monana smelters. Mr. Kinney confirms the report that Sena- tor Clark of Montana recently offered $i,fj00,000 In cash for the Wllltams-Luman mine and that the owners of the property, a Buffalo, Wyo., syndicate, laughed a( the offer. The Willlams-Luman vein is eighty feet wide at the surface, slightly wider at S0 feet and averages $0 per cent copper, $4.(0 to the ton In gold and 14. 25 In silver.

RAILROADS FEELING BETTER Former President of Rlsr Fnnr Hays They Can Vnrd Off Nerv ousness Now. CHICAGO. June 22-"W!ut do I think of the rsllrond sltuntlon?" demanded M K. InKBlls. former president of the BU Four, repenting the question. Th rnllromls nre looking up. The reason Is that the rail road people have flnnlly gotten ro that they can wske up In the morning and think Of President Roosevelt without having nervous dyspepsia or stape fright, and that helps a good deal." Mr. Ingalls Is spending a few rt'tys with his son, Georgo Ingnlls, general freight traffic mai.sger of the New York Central lines west of Buffalo. Yesterday he visited many railroad officials and discussed with them the general situation. "It was this way," continued Mr. Ingalls, "for some time the railroad men were nfrnld tho president was going to swallow the rail roads or confiscate them. Now thry 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 In his recent speech at Indian apolis?" "How can we Judge It t 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 gref real sweet. So you see you can take that speech both ways If you are a rillroad man, but one thing Is evident, and that Is that the railroads have to obey the law. And this will be good for them." "Do you see any hard times headed 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 the railroads, however, a they have got more than they can take care of now." SCHMITZ KEEPS HIS POWER Chief of Police Dlnan Itrfnsrs to Rec ognise Acting Mayor Galla gher's signature. BAN FRANCISCO, June 82. From his executive cell In 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 atreft road. Schmltz, 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 Schmltz' 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 flght permit Issued to the Central Athletic club for a series of six four-round boxing bouts to be held In Dreamland rink last evening and before Dlnan would allow the doors to open to the crowd the promoters of the show had to bring to him a permit signed by Eugene E.

Not until Monday will the Judge decide whether or not It will give hearing to the application. STATE DEPARTMENT TNQUIRES Cables to Ban Hnlrndor Concerning Imprisonment of Two Americana In that Country. WASHINGTON, June 22.

The three cabinet officers who are com ing to Sun Francisco are not. It Is said, expected to settle tho present strike, ac cording to the conciliation committee.

The places of the striking car 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 In fact was better than had been expected. Between fifty and sixty operators were at work nearly one-third of the usual foroe and considerable business was being han dled.

All former employes requesting reinstate ment will be dealt with aa Individuals, the company absolutely refusing to recognise the union tn any manner. Referring to statements made yesterday by President Small Of the Telegraphers' union, Mr. May said: Tha assertion that we have refused to treat with our own employes Is absolutely untrue. We have always and always will give their claims full consideration. Neither has the company rejieutejly refused re quests for increased wages, ss Mr. Small states. No request for an increase has reached me. I may add that In many cases we hsvs raised salaries, in some Instances 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 the 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 applications for positions have renched me, but thess may be expected by Monday. The outlook Is encouraging.
