Can't Join in While War Is On.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 17. The
Russian formal reply says a circular
note regarding the convening of The
Hague Conference is not expected un
til next week. In the meantime the
views of other powers are being ascer
tained through the Russian representa
tives abroad. While there Is no rea
son to believe that Russia can agree
to participate In a conference during
the war, there is every indication that
she will not only not resent the
proposal, but that her reply will bo
of a cordial character.
In the course of a conversation on
the subject between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff and Charge d' Affaires Eddy,
of the American Embassy, the former
spoke feelingly of Russia's great in
terest in the work and aims of the
peace conference initiated by Em
peror Nicholas, and the important fact
developed that it has been Russia's in
tention, had the war not intervened,
herself to invite the powers to a sec
ond conference. While the war was in
progress, however. Count Lamsdorff
explained, it was a great difficulty to
a fruitful discussion and to a decision

activity of the present belligerent.

between Ambassador Porter and Foreign
Minister Delcasse relative to the reassem
bling of The Hague Peace Conference
shows that the Minister is favorable to
the proposition, thus practically assuring
Its acceptance 'by France, but the sub
mission of the question to the cabinet is
necessarily deferred, pending a settlement
of the cabinet complications.
Why Italy Delays.
ROME, Nov. 17. Although favorable in
principle to the reconvocatlon of The
Hague Peace Conference, Italy has not
yet answered the proposal of the United
States officially, owing to the fact that an

"VICTORIES POR REPUBLICANS.
Colorado Supreme Court Passes on
Election Cases.
DENVER, Nov. 17. The Supreme Court
today reaffirmed Its decision that It has
the right to take jurisdiction of the last
election, and the hearing of testimony in
the cases of 27 election officers, who have
been cited for contempt, was commenced
today. The court further held that the
Elections Commission, in making the
count in Denver, cannot go behind the re
turns, but must use the written count of
the election Judges and not count the tal
lies. The decisions are victories for the
Republicans, as in both cases the motions
of the Republican attorneys were sus
tained. Counsel for the commission requested
the court to instruct the commission how
to proceed in instances where the totals
had not been written up and also where
no totals had been extended, either in
figures or in writing. In the first case
the court directed the commission to write
the totals themselves, and in the latter
to call in the election judges and clerks
and require them to perform the duty
exacted of them under the law.
The commission has discovered several
cases where both Democratic and Repub
lican officials have been lax.

an Alliance.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17. Losses of half a
million dollars through shoplifting have
been suffered during the past year by 21
department stores in this city, whose pro
prietors, because of such losses, have
formed an alliance to fight petty pilfering.
The fact that such an alliance has been
formed came out today when a woman
was given a 15-day sentence In the Court
of General Sessions after having pleaded
guilty to a charge of stealing goods val
ued at $5 from a department store.
Hitherto the storekeepers have been
willing to let offenders off with a fine and
the court as a rule has acted according
ly. Before sentence was Imposed today,
the attorney who had prosecuted the case
said that his law firm had bee.n retained
by an alliance of 21 department stores to
prosecute every case of shoplifting.

LONDON WELCOMES
King and Queen of Portugal
Are Loudly Cheered.
PASS THROUGH THE STREETS
Visitors Are Guests of the London
Mayor Brilliant Theatrical Per
formance at Windsor Con
cludes Day's Pleasure.
LONDON, Nov. 17. King Charles and
Queen Amelie, of Portugal, passed in pro
cession through the streets of London to
day and had luncheon at the Guild Hall,
as guests of the Lord Mayor and Corpor
ation. As a pageant, the royal progress
through the lampllt streets of the city
could not oe regarded even by the most
enthusiastic as a success. An opaque fog,
at some parts of the route so dense that
it was impossible to see more than 50
yards ahead, veiled the overhead decora
tions, and the troops lined the route and
escorting the sovereigns hid the bright
uniforms under heavy greatcoats. The
crowds were not large, but nothing was
lacking in the warmth of the reception
given to their majesties.
Addresses were presented to them by
the local authorities at various polnta
along the route. One of these was typical
of all. It neatly referred to Queen Amelie,
as follows:
"Sprung from France, born, in England,
wedded to Portugal, she has linked three
nations which we trust will always be
found In close association with one an
other." At the Guild Hall, Lord Mayor Pound
and the Lady Mayoress In their corpora
tion robes of office awaited the royal vis
itors. A procession was formed and pro
ceeded to the library, where was the
Prince and Princess of Wales, Cabinet
Ministers, peers, members of the House of
Commons, officials and officers of both
services. An address in a gold casket was
presented to King Charles and the pre
sentations of officials and others to the
King and Queen followed. Then the city's
guests filed into the large hall, where
luncheon was served. The Lord Mayor
toasted the King of Portugal, who, in re
plying, referred to the long-standing al
liance between England and Portugal and
hoped it would continue for all time. At
the conclusion of the luncheon, the party
returned to Windsor.
PLAY IS GIVEN FOR ROYALTY
"A Man's Shadow"' Is Presented by
Order of King Edward.
LONDON, Nov. 17. One of the most
brilliant theatrical performances ever held
In Windsor Castle occurred tonight when
Beerbohm Tree, by the King's command,
took down a special company to reproduce
"A Man's Shadow." The stage was erect
ed in the historic Waterloo chamber, and
the audience was worthy of Its setting. In
the front row of gold and red plush
chairs sat King Edward; next to him was
Queen Amelie of Portugal, then King
Charles of Portugal at Queen Alexandra's
right. They were flanked on either side
by the Prince and Princess of Wales
and the Duke and Duchess of Conn aught.
All wore the Windsor uniform, namely,
evftninc rirpsn. nHth red eollnra and 1n-
pels. The orders worn by the men andl
the jewels on the women's dresses added
brilliancy to an audience such as has
seldom gathered in England.
King Edward and King Charles both fol
lowed the performance vivaciously. Mrs.
James Brown Potter especially attracted
attention, while another American, Ger
aldlne Wilson, a small child of 9, upon
whom this Jckyll and Hyde melodrama
hinges, also won frequent applause.
The cast included such well-known play
ers as Lionel Brough, Gerald Du Maurier,
Clarence Blakiston and Kate Cutler.
King Edward, despite a long and tiring
day, looked exceptionally well. He sent
hearty thanks to Mr. Tree for producing
the play which, as Prince of Wales, was
always one of his favorites.
VIOLENT CRIES IN PARLIAMENT
Germans Oppose Premier's Policy Re
garding Italian University.
VIENNA, Nov. 17. After more than six
months' recess, the Austrian Parlia
ment resumed Its sittings today. The gal
leries were crowded In anticipation of
Premier von Koerber's speech explaining
the government's attitude and intentions
regarding the Innsbruck riots and the Ital
ian university question. After the intro
duction of the budget, the Premier rose-
amid a hostile demonstration from the
German parties. Hla remarks regarding
the Innsbruck incident were frequently In
terrupted by noisy and violent cries" from
the Germans, who appeared to bo greatly
dissatisfied with Dr. von Koerber's ex
planation. The Premier asked the house to suroort
the government bill for the establishment
of an Italian law faculty at Roverto, in
order to permit the closing of the provis
ional law faculty at Innsbruck as soon as
possible. Tne Germans thereupon shout
ed: "The veterans will take care of that."
The expenditures are estimated at J33S,
205.S30, and the revenue at $355,589,277. New
rentes amounting to $2,891,800 will be Is
sued for the redemption of the bonds of
the public rfebt falling due in 1905.
The Minister of Finance in his budget
speech said great difficulties had been en
countered In balancing the budget and
though the conditions were becoming sat
isfactory. It is impossible to take an opti
mistic view while the augsllcht agree
ment as to the cost Austria and Hungary
each are to bear for the administration of
their common affairs and the commercial
treaty negotiations with Hungary were
still unconcluded. Premier von Koerber
announced that the foreign relations of
the empire were friendly. The under
standing with Russia regarding the
Balkans had hot been disturbed. AH, the
Premier said, would ' deplore the bloody
struggle in the Far East and ardently de
sire peace.
The Premier announced that the govern
ment accepted all the responsibility for
the Innsbruck affair and said the guilty
parties would be punished.
It I considered Improbable that the
Rovcreto bill will. In any degree, settle
the Italian University question, .the Ital
ians having absolutely declined to accept
the government's offer to establish a fac
ulty at Rovereto.
Having announced a larger number of
new bills dealing with a variety of Inter
national reforms. Premier von Koerber
emphasized the urgency of the country
devoting itself to commercial and politico-economic
developments, emulating
Germany and other nations. Even Rus
sia, with a great war on her hands, he
said, is busily Insuring her economic fu
ture by the conclusion of commercial
treaties. The monarchy must adopt a
customs tariff in order to protect home
production and take measures to build' up
a new economic Austria on modern lines.
An excited discussion followed, Dr!
Erelor accusing the Premier jot treating
him brutally in their Interview following
the Innsbruck trouble. Dr. Erelor de
claredthe Premier had not uttered a word
of disapproval of the action of the Italian
students. f The House, he said, should co
operate to expel the government.
Premier von Koerber, in reply to
criticisms, maintained that both parties
must share the responsibility of the de
plorable Innsbruck excesses, which never
would have occurred but for mischievous
agitation. Those disorders, he asserted,
were not concerned with racial strife. The
intervention of the military was unhap
pily attended by the death of Innocent
persons, but It ended the excesses. In
closing the Premier said: "Who Is to
blame?"
There were angry shouts of "You, Von
Koerber," and amid great contusion the
debate was adjourned.
DECLARES PREMIER SHOULD GO
French Deputy Speaks Boldly in Dis
cussing Retirement of Andre.
PARIS, Nov. 17. In the Chamber of
Deputies today M. Benolst, having an
nounced his intention to- Interpellate the
Ministry on the subject of magistrates
who are alleged to have shielded their
colleagues. Premier Combes Insisted that
the interpellation be placed on the list.
The Premier declared he did not intend
to give up republican officials to the
vengeance of the opposition, and was
surprised that the Chamber had allowed
the whole series of attacks to be built
upon papers, the genuineness of which
had not even been demonstrated. He did
not intend to sacrifice in a week, he said,
the fruit of five years of republican prop
aganda. He was ready to check ex
cesses of zeal, but never would yield to
the orders of the Nationalists.
M. Rlbot joined In the discussion, say
ing the 'public conscience was aston
ished when the Premier sacrificed Gen
eral Andre when he was equally respon
sible. The Premier, M. Rlbot said, ought
not to remain a moment longer In office.
He also asked whether it were true that
Premier Combes and tho Minister of Jus
tice, M. Valle, had modified their con
duct after receiving a Masonic dele
gation. The Chamber postponed the Interpella
tion by a vote of 296 to 267.

UNiONISTS WRANGLE
Chicago Case Comes Before
Federation of Labor.
NOW A. QUESTION OF VERACITY
Delegates Declare Executive Council
Refuses to Hear New Testimony,
Which Is Indignantly Denied
Goes to Committee.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 17. The Chi
cago Federation fight was threshed out
on the floor of the convention at the
afternoon's session of" the American
Federation of Labor today, but after a
hot debate lasting two and one-half
hours the matter was finally referred
on motion to the committee on local
and federated bodies with Instructions
that a report be rendered at the earliest
possible moment.
Delegate Dole made an impassioned
speech in behalf of the Federation. The
leaders seemed disposed to sidetrack
the question. John Mitchell, who occu
pied the chair In place of President
Gompers, saying: he would consider any
motion to refer or defer the matter.
Tho point at issue rested upon the
refusal of the Chicago Federation to
comply with the demands of the Ameri
can Federation to expel two local Chi
cago unions. The basic principle of the
whole dispute rested on a question of
trade jurisdiction. The United Plumb
ers' Association of America claimed ju
risdiction over the two Chicago unions
in question, which were not affiliated
with the National body. It was upheld
by the executive council of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, but the Chi
cago Federation persisted in disregard
ing the ruling and allowed the two se
ceding unions to affiliate with Its cen
tral body. The Chicago Federation
was thereupon expelled from the Na
tional body until such a time as it saw
fit to comply with the edict of the ex
ecutive council.
The fight on the proposition was the
hottest that yet has been waged on the
floor. The Chicago delegates stated
that the members of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor had refused to permit them to
Introduce new evidence in the Case,
and each member of the council In turn
took the floor and as decidedly stated
that such was not the case. The ques
tion therefore resolved itself into one
of veracity. The Chicago delegates
were desirous of making' a motion to
the effect that the convention appoint
a special committee to Journey tu Chi
cago as soon as possible after the final
adjournment of the convention and
there study the situation at first hand.
In the Interim they desired that Will
iam Schardt, president of the Chicago
Federation and delegate of that body
to the present convention, be seated.
This was designated by the opposition
as a mere subterfuge and cheap politi
cal trick and was overruled. The de
bate was finally stopped by a motion
which carried by a bare majority, set
ting 4:30 o'clock as a limit after which
no speeches on the question could be
delivered.
Among the resolutions presented was
one which put the Federation on rec
ord as against all antl-ticket-scalplng
bills, and urged all labor organizations
to work to that end.
A resolution Introduced by a Chicago
delexata to compel full insurance on
vessels of over five tons displacement
was characterized by Delegate Andrew
Furuseth, of the Seamen's union, as one
placing a premium on murder. His vlg
orous opposition to the measure caused
the convention to vote that tne resom
tlon be sent back to the committee and
reframed.
Resolutions regarding Japanese ex
clusion and the eradication of tubercu
losls were also tabled that they might
be reconsidered.
Fort Worth, Tex., sent a message in
viting- the Federation to hold its next
meeting there. This question will come
ud later.
Ten o'clock was set apart as the
special time for listening; to fraternal
delegates from Great Britain and
Canada. James WIgnall, of the former
country, was introduced and was given
a great ovation by the delegates. His
sneech aroused the delegates to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. He maintained
that to be an amoasaaor or laoor was
a irreater honor than to represent his
country on a diplomatic mission. Speak
ing of the bonds between the two coun
tries, he said:
"The clasp of hands across the sea
and the bonds of brotherhood which
must come to the Anglo-Saxon family
will come through the iraternauze
ment of the tolling masses of the two
countries."
William Abrahan ("Mabcii"),' a mem
ber of Parliament, was then Intro
dticed.
John A. Flett, representative of the
Dominion of Canada, addressed the con
vention and invited the delegates to
hold their next annual meeting, com
memorating the quarter century of
their existence, in the Dominion of
Canada. He compared trade conditions
In the two countries. His address was
well received.

Mrs. Llttlewater, an Indian woman,
wished to withdraw her money from the
Bank of Homer and that the bank refused
to surrender It. She came to him for ad
vice and he advised her to indorse her
name to the certificate, which she did by
making her mark. The certificate was
sent by his advice to a Sioux City lawyer
with instructions to notify the bank to
transfer the money to the bank at Sloan,
la.

nor and Ashfbrd, Indian Agent Wilson
and Government Inspector Wright after
ward persuaded the woman to transfer
the money to a Sioux City bank, and then
to go to the lawyer and request the return
of the certificate and subsequently to
swear out the warrant charging him with
forgery.

Scheil declared the Investigation at Win
nebago was simply child's play compared
with the investigation Into the timber
