THE PRELIMINARIES Entrrlalniurnta t'onsiiair lore Time Than Deliberations I wa a a Ciorsrvaa Affair Prraonnrl sua d I'rocrdore. NEW TORK, Oct. SI. (Special.) If a congress of tha powers of Europe should be called to settle the Balkan question once again It la not at all likely that the sessions would begin before next year. There are all sorts of reasons for this slow-going preparation; all aorta of pour parlers have to be excrrRnRvd between the governments Interested. The subjects to be discussed by the congress have to be selected and defined with great care. Whole volumes of diplomatic correspon dence, therefore, are exchanged before the date of the meeting is even considered. There are other questions of detail. There Is the size of the congress to be determined, involving tha admission or exclusion of minor powers and secondary parties to the matters at Jssue. There is the selection of the place, which Is usually either a strictly neutral city or the capital of one of the leading powers concerned. And when verythlng else Is arranged each power haa problems of lis own to solva. There is the choice of delegates, for Instance, and of their assistants. The representation as a whole must be a many headed, or rather, perhaps, a many-faced, one. Varletr of Talent Weeded. One or more of Its members must be statesmen of tried and trusted powers. Some one among them must be a personage of dignity, the holder of a high office or the possessor of a great name. There must be someone who Is accustomed to the etiquette of courts. There must be someone who Is a skilled entertainer. Our old friend, the hand shaker, the professional genial, mint be very much In evidence. There must be a ready writer and a ready speaker, and withal there must bo in the delegation In one or more of Its members a profound knowledge of history, geography, International- law and, above all, an expert ac qualntance with the special subject which is to be taken up. While the actual delegation Itself seldom Includes more than two or three plenipoten tiaries, these are always re-enforced by a host of councillors, secretaries, lnterpre. ters, experts and gentlemen runners, so that in fact they make up quite a formi dable body. The longress of Vienna, held In 1814, was attended by more than 600 diplomatic personages. Even when the entire personnel of each delegation Is determined the congress is still some weeks or months off, for every one who Is going to it will demand a con siderable period In which to make a study of the subject. When the plenipotentiaries actually start they are sure to take with them hundreds of volumes snd stacks of documents sufficient to fill many freight cars, (Arrival of Diplomats. At last the visiting delegations begin to pour Into the chosen city of the con gress, and thenceforth there Is a great and gorgeous time there. Each batch of plenipotentiaries will have secured for Itself either s fine mansion or at least an entire floor in a hotel. An army of news paper men from all over the world has assembled in advance, sightseers, . amuse ment providers and seekers, the huge mis cellaneous crowd that chases excitement from place to place Is already in waiting. As the plenipotentiaries arrive they are met at the railway stations by high officials of the entertaining foreign office, some times by military escorts and royal car riages. They are escorted as guests of the state to their quarters, but before they have time to settle down there they are obliged to rig themselves In full court cos tume to begin the round of formal visits. They call upon the foreign secretary of the entertaining state and on Its ntler. pliey call upon each other, and then they go nome and receive the calls of every- ooay else in return. Some days are oc cupied In this Indispensable formality. A round of entertainments Is begun at the same time. Two-thirds of the time during which the congress sits Is spent In revelry. The actual sessions probably aver age far less than two hours a day. Splendid Quarters Provided, When the plenipotentiaries come together In their first regular session they find that a splendid suite of apartments haa been pro vided for them. At the congress of licr lin Prince Bismarck threw open his own home, the Radzlwlll palace, for the ses sions. There is not only the great assembly room; there ate rooms besides for secre taries and experts, for private consulta tions and for committee .meetings.

This win not so at Berlin when Bismarck did his utmost to kcp all Information from the press. The first meeting Is a very ceremonious affair for that matter, all the meetings are. The members pf the congres and their nttfniJants are more gorgeously ar rnyed than Salomon In ill his glory. Those who are military officers are In their highest degree of gold lace, civilians wear the diplomatic uniform, knee breeches, swallow-tailed coats and cocked hats, the coat and breeches of royal blue cloth en crusted with gold lace. How Conference la Orcaalsed. The proceedings nre opened with speech by the foreign minister of the entertain ing country, or by the leading plenipoten tiary of the country summoning the con gress. Then the president is elected. He Is likely to be either the entertaining for eign minister or some distinguished repre tatlve of neutral or disinterested power. Bismarck was chosen In both cspacltles at Berlin. Tha next step depends upon the makeup of the gathering. Where the actual mem. bcrshlp of the congress is limited nnd where the subject of discussion Is slnglo and coherent, the congress Is apt to act as committee of the whole throughout the discussion. This was the case with the congress of Berlin. The members of that body were the representatives of the great powers Eng land, France, Germany, Austria and Rus sia, with Turkey let in on account of her superlative concern in the occasion. The only variation that took place was the admission of Roumanla, Servla, Bulgaria, Montenegfo and Greece, when their Im mediate Interests were taken up. But In large conferences, such as the peace gatherings of 1905 and last year at The Hague and the congress ot Vienna, where practically every nation In Europe was represented, the custom Is to divide the work of the congress nmong various commissions. At The Hague last yetr those In turn were subdivided, for the con sideration of various topics, into a number of minor groups. Where commissions are appointed a vast amount of diplomatic skill has to be dis played by the chosen president ot the congress in the 'allotment of the members and in the choice of presidents and vice presidents and honorary presidents for each subdivision In order that no Indi vidual and no country may feel that it has been alighted. Real tfrorlf Done In Secret. However earnestly the sessions of the congress may be conducted, and whatever appearance they may have of shaping the results, however solemn the voting on these may appear to be, it is not Infrequently the case that the real work is done in secret and outside of the regular sessions. Tli us at the congress of Vienna, which readjusted the map and the policies of Europe after tha Napoleonic wars, tho real determining act was a secret treaty negotiated by Lord Castlereagh, the chief English plenipotentiary, witli France and Austria and a number of the small powers to curb the overweening ambition of Russia and Prussia. At the treaty of Paris similar secret agreements were made to protect the in tegrity of the Turkish dominions. At the congress of Berlin Disraeli, the head ot the English delegation, and Count Gnrtchakpff, the chief Russian, all but reached an open rupture at the open session. But Bismarck privately intervened. He talked with the two statesmen and presently he brought them together, nnd the result was a pri vate understanding which made all the rest of the work of the congress easy. At the close of each day's session a re port of the proceedings in drawn up for record. This is called the protocol. The original is filed In the foreign office of the entertaining country and copies are de livered to each of the plenipotentiaries. The latter forward copies of it, together with their own reports of the proceedings and statements of their views, dally to their capitals. In esses where they are not themselves the heads of the govern ments of their states they often have to wait for Instructions based on these re ports. In former times this involved enormous delay. It Is not surprising that in the old times of difficult travel European con gresses lasted for years. But nowadays, with the aid of the telegraph and cipher codes, daily sessions are entirely feasible without the delegates exceeding their powers or involving their governor tin with out authority. Thus the congress of Berlin was able to eomplote Its deliberations in Just a month. It lasted from- June 13 to July 13, 1S78. Evidently Bismarck, who called It and dictated Its close, was nit supersti tious. If the last Hague congress stretched itself out over several months this wis bo cause It was not very Intense afl'ulr and there was no particular reason for cutting short the f btlvitics which attended its progress. One by one, as the points under dis cussion aro settled, the results, In the form of memoranda, are confided to expert draughtsmen to lie incorporated Into the terms of a treaty. Usually each article is in final shape at th..? next session after it is outlined, and It Is then voted on and accepted by the delegates. It must be remembered, however, that tho voting at an International congress has no resemblance to that which 'IjUch place In a legislative body. The majority docs not rule. Each party to the congress Is an Independent and sovereign state, which cannot be coerced, except, of course, by war. Therefore every xjii to be effective nius' bo unanimous. Final Ante on Treaty. And. after all, when the work la done and all the agreements are couched In dip lomatic circumlocution, the congress comes together once again to finally vote upon the treaty as a whole and to execute it by fixing the signatures of the plenipo tentiaries. Each country concerned has its own copy elaborately engrossed on parch ment and usually a copy Is deposited In the archives of the entertaining slate. Then conies the last acts of all very like the first ones. The diplomats are once more received In state by their host, the emperor, king or president; there Is per haps a final grand state feed.

The first . gathering worthy of the name wa that of Munatcr and Osnabruck, which was called for 164i. but did nut actually meet until K4I. and continued lis sessions until 10M. when It ended the thirty years' war wl'h the peace of Westphalia. This conference occupied two clths, be cause nil the Protestant delegates met ii one and all the Catholic delegates In the other. Nearly a year's time was consumed in settling questions of etiquette and pro cedure. Since that time, down to and Including the Algertraa conference, but omitting the pence congresses, the historians mention somn thirty-three as having I wen railed. Only tmnly-flvn of these, however, are regarded as having actually matured and fructified. The principal ones were those of Utrecht, which ended the war of the Spanish suc cession.

PROGRESS INJCEMENT WAKING Aanaslns; Development of the ladaa try and Ita Impor tance, Statlntlca compiled by the UnlleJ States geological survey show the amazing de velopment of the cement Industry In this country. In 1W the total production was 2,:M,903 barrels, valued at l3,724,!XXi. I.ust year 4S.7S6,3?0 barrels of cement were man ufactured In tho United States, of an es timated value of "3.t:5.',4. It Is doubtful If any other big Industry In the country can show practically a doubling ot Its output every two years for period of ten years. The Increase In the use of tia material undoubtedly la due In a large measure to the steady decrease in prices. This Is more remarkable In view of the fact that one concern the North American Portland Cement company owr.s patents covering tha modern methods of manufacturing, and fully 70 per cent of the cement of this country Is made either by that company or by concerns licensed to use its processes. In 1!07, when about 2,400.000 barrels of Portland cement were made here, the average price was $1.64 per barrel; that of natural hydraulic cement was 60 cents per barrel, while cement made from slag, sold for $1.50 per barrel. The average prices per barrel last year were; Portland ce ment, $1.10; natural hydraulic, CI cenls; slag, 79 cents. During the past ten years the price of lumber has advanced 100 per cent. Despite tho Increased production In this country we have Imported annually since 1837 from 1.000.009 to 2.500.00O barrels of ce ment. During the same period our ex ports of cement ranged from 62,761 barrels In 1897 to 1,450.841 barrels Inst year. That our manufacture cement will have a normal growth In the future, us compared with other industries by the fart that last year only 2.0O0.OCO barrels more were produced than In while the increase of 1906 over 1 was 11.500.010 bar rels. The panic, of course, caused a de crease in the demand for cement not only at ome but abroad, yet not to an extent to seriously affect the industry. While the ratio of Increase In prod jc lion of previous years will not be nialuiuincd. it is certain that the cement Industry will continue to grow. The adaptability of ce ment for nearly all structural purposes lias been demonstrated. It has allayed the fears aroused by the decrease In our timber supply through the devastation of forests. The Increased production of cement at re duced price has enabled us to conserve our timber. It is not very long ago that our houses were built wholly of wood. Today houses are built almost without any wood, while metal furniture in them takes the place of wood. Pennsylvania is the banner state for ce ment production, owing to its having ihe greatest output of slag from iron and steel mills. Last year Pennsylvania's cement output was 20,38,5 barrels. New Jersey took sec ond place with 4. 449,bVH barrels, while In diana ranked third with 3.7Si.8ll barrels. Michigan manufactured i.Vi'-S barrels, Kansas S,363.M5. barrels. Illinois 2,(,;li.Oi barrels, Kentucky and Missouri 3,18i;.f23 bar rels, California and Washington 1,W3,C04 bar rels, Colorado, Utah, Texas, South Dakota, and Arizona 1.339.000 barrels, and Alabama, Georgia, West Virginia, and Virginia 1 ,-'T4.-470 barrels.

The sensational features of the esca pades Indulged in by chauffeurs who are prone to assume all the license that u forbidden to owners huw brought upon the entire craft the odium f idame I'm a universal tyranny such ni ha at tached to no other lo.ly of Americans, even In politics. The first, and most objectionable, In vasion of public and private rights is the now notorious "Joy ride,", ulrendy legislated agtilnst In several -Uuie.v In cluding Ohio, with special laws liiinle necessary by the habitual reluctance or owners to employ ordinal- precautions and to act under the common la .v. The motor cur is still too recent a factor In civilisation for Cue assemblage of reliable, general stattilics, exyept on the most haphazard scale; and "joy lin ing," as a Hpeclul factor In accidents, is an element that has come into promi nence so lately that there are no sta liKtics at all. As early as three yeuiM ago. In New York City, a four months' eonipariHou showed twelve killed and tixty-ouo in jured In auto accident. aain-t only thirty-one killed and 32 Injured by all the horse-drawn vehicles or the great city and ninety-seven killed und 173 in jured by all its street cars. The percenlugo of those auto acci dents that was clue to the heedlessness of drivers other than their owners tan not even be guessed at, any more than the total number of "Joy rides" can be surmised In comparison with the rutiH made by cars occupied by the pfi'scn, who have a right to be In them. Even at that time, Wlntlirop E. Scar rltt, formerly president of the Automo bile Club of America, declared that cuic ful Investigation would prove four-fifths of all fatal accidents due to Irresponsible chauffeurs. The "joy ride" Is the Inveterate t'oc of statist U s. for the very essence of its astonishing extension, as a practice, lus been evasion of owners' wishes by the offending chauffeurs and complete in difference to tho chauffeurs' actions uu the part of owners. ' Throughout it i:as been a case of either nobody knows or nobody cares, or both. t But the Individual tragedies which have been incident to "Joy riding" have, startled every lurgo community with such frequent repetition that tho term has ul ready become kyiionyinuuH with a re-.k-leusneHs which fairs short of homicide only when It la suicidal. In the public Imagination, the 1 1 1 -sponsible chauffeur looms up like n man, drunk with sonic occult drug. seizing upon a' modern war chariot of invslsti 'do power and driving it madly onwjrd an.
