THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, J1ILT 2t, 1906. WORLD CONGRESS CHEERS RUSSIANS British Premier's Speech De clares Douma Will Live Again. WORKING FOR ARBITRATION Model Treaty for All Nations Adopt ed Bryan .Advocates Extending Scope of Iltfjrue Tribunal Jn . Preventing-War. LONDON, July 23. The fourteenth con ference' of the .Inter-Parliamentary. Union was opened "In -the Royal Gallery ' of the Palace, of Westminster today. Adherents of International ''peace from all the- par liaments of Europe as well as several of those of the western hemisphere; were present, but hardly had the, conference opened ."when, amid a scene of consider, able- excitement,- Professor Maxim Gov alevsky, a member of the lower house of the Russian Parliament, announced that he .and his colleagues, representing until yesterday the youngest Parliament In the world, would e obliged to withdraw in consequence of the dissolution of the body they were officially appointed to represent. There were, about 600 delegates present, the American representation being headed by Congressman Richard Bartholdt, while William J. Bryan occupied a seat on the platform. Lord Weardale (Sir Philip Btanhope), opened the congress, his preliminary sen tences .of welcome being especially ad dressed to the Russian delegates, where upon the delegates rose In. a body and running toward the delegation of the late Parliament, cheered -them to the echo. Lord Weardale also incidentally men tioned President Roosevelt .as having been . associated x with' them In the-work of peace. ' " Premier Acclaims Douma. Premier Campbeir-Bannermani in reply, reminded hi? hearers that King Edward had always been a great advocate of peace. The British government, lie said, was in entire sympathy with the object of the conference,' whose work had al ready aroused among the Nations a strong feeling In favor of peace. The world has far too -long been-nothing less than a huge military camp. The Premier especially greeted the members of the Russian Parliament, and also paid a tribute to Emperor Nicholas, who had done so much 'toward. the enhance ment of ideas of "peace. It could, he thought, be safely asserted that the Rus slon Parliamept, though dissolved, was sure to again come Into existence. Then the Premier, m a sudden access of enthusiasm, shouted: "La Douma est mort! Vive la Douma!" (The Russion Parliament Is dead; ' Long live the Russian Parliament). The delegates rose to their feet and a storm of cheering continued for a couple of minutes. - - - ... - ... In conclusion, the Premier said he hoped at the next peace conference at The Hague a general act would be drawn up, providing for the submission of all questions of dispute without restriction to The Hague tribunal, for the universal good of humanity. ' King Edward's Adhesion. Count Apponyi. the Hungarian Minister of Worship, followed, characterising the Premier's speech as a "direct message from King Edward, the latter announcing on his own Initiative his complete adhe sion to the work of the conference." The Count went on to say that the British Premier's appeal for the relief of Europe from the burdens of their military bud gets could not be fruitless. The Parlia ments must follow suit. On Count Apponyl's suggestion a tele gram was sent to King Edward, as fol lows: "The Inter-Parliamentary Conference received the King's adhesion with pro found gratitude. May he long be) spared to promote the welfare of his people and the cause of international peace." Russian Delegates Withdraw. Then came the most dramatic moment of the opening of the session. Professor Kovalevsky rose, but some minutes elapsed before he could gain a hearing, so long was the cheering. Finally, in a voice somewhat broken with emotion, he announced the necessity for the with drawal of the members from the Russian Parliament. He said: "We came here In behalf of the Russian Nation to partake In the treat work of the conference. The Russian people de sire peace. The mission of the Russian Parliament was to snatch a great people from a regime of violence and substitute for It a rule of freedom, liberty and jus tice. We hoped to take an active part ih your work, but our mission comes to a sudden end, as. our Parliament having been dissolved, we are no longer official representatives. Our sympathy remains. We return home with the determination to continue the great struggle for free dom, liberty and Justice." The announcement of the withdrawal of the Russian delegates was met with a storm of protests and shouts of "no! no!" and attempts on every side to in duce ' the Russians to remain, but the latter insisted that they no longer had any official status and must leave Eng land for Russia this evening and return ,to the "battlefield." The Russlon delegates then left the convention and the delegates then set tled down to business. The incidents at tending the dissolution of the Russian Parliament were for some time discussed far more eagerly, than the business of the conference. Model Arbitration Treaty. Lord Weardale. who had in the mean time been elected president, had some difficulty In getting the excited delegates quieted, but ultimately attention became absorbed in the discussion of the reports of the commission on the American pro posals for an international congress and a model arbitration treaty to be submitted to the next conference at The Hague. Mr. Bartholdt expressed particular grat ification at the solution suggested by the committee- appointed at Brussels, of this most perplexing problem. The scheme to convert the next Hague conference into a permanent body which would meet at atated periods and to create a council for the codification and development of In ternational law he considered so thor oughly practical and timely that no well disposed government could object to it. In coucluslon, Mr. Bartholdt said: "What we want is a world organiza tion and a system of law, in order to re place arbitrary power in International re lations. The ex-Austrian Minister of Com merce, Von Plener, presented the report of the Brussels commission, giving the proposed model treaty of arbitration. He said that while it was impossible to rec ommend the American proposal in Its en tirety. some of the features were good. ' nofably the means by which it proposed to decrease the cost of arbitration. Herr von Plener moved the adoption of the model treaty as amended by the com- mission, together with a recommendation urging on the powers, when arbitration la Impossible to have recourse, singly or jointly, to the mediation of a third power before declaring war.- ' At this juncture William J. Bryan arose, his appearance being heartily cheered. "I cannot see," he said, "that people have any Justification In killing each other be fore investigating the question tnvolved. There la no other question of this import ance. I want to move an amendment to Herr von Plener"a recommendation to be appended to . the commission's report. It goes further, than this, without going too far. This is my resolution: " it ,a disagreement should occur be tween contracting parties, which, in the terms of the proposed arbitration treaty need not bo submitted to arbitration, they shall before declaring war or engaging In any hostilities whatever, submit the ques tion to The Hague Court, or some other impartial International tribunal. " 'This resolution I put in order that there shall be no more shedding of human blood." " Mr ; Bryan's amendment and Herr von Plener's recommendation, were supported by the German delegates and will be discussed tomorrow. , ' Draft of Treaty Adopted. Congressman Burton of Ohio, vice-president Of the American delegation, moved the inclusion In the treaty of a provision that questions relating to consular and diplomatic privilege and the collection of debts shall be submitted to arbitration. This was agreed to and the report of the commission appointed at Brussels to pre pare a model arbitration treaty for pre sentation to the powers and the second peace conference at The Hague was adopted. 'Hague Conference Meets Regularly. The meeting also adopted the fol lowing proposals of the Council: First That It . would be advantageous to give to The Hague conference a more per manent Influence In the organised function of diplomacy and that the powers shoul.1 agree In establishing periodical, meetings of the conference. Second That In naming their represen tatives to the second Hague conference the powers may usefully . give them Instructions to ascertain the best means of constituting a consultative commission, charged with the duty of preparing the codification and de velopment of International law. Objection was raised to a proposal to attempt unification of national laws as Utopian and it waa eliminated. Prince Hilkoff, a member of the Russian delegation from the upper house of Parliament, this evening an nounced his Intention to remain and be present at the work of the confer ence. It appears thai Count Benken dorff, the Russian Ambassador here, urged the ex-Mlnlster of Railroads to adopt this course. The Prince has been appointed a member of the In ternational Council. PROGRAMME OP CONFERENCE Model Arbitration- Treaty, Perma nent Court, World's Congress. f - LONDON, July 23. This session of the Interparliamentary Union la being held to muss upon the reports filed in June by the two commissions which were appoint ed at the Brussels session last August. It was considered wise to have an ex traordinary session of the union, so that its whole weight might be back of the request for the conversion of. the second Hague conference into a permanent Doay, when this proposition Is presented to the members -of that conference next May, in the form of a report approved unanimous ly by the members of the Interparliament ary Commission. Hardly less important is the report of the commission on a model arbitration treaty. This .commission bad to- grapple with these problems: ' 1. How to draw a treaty of arbitra tion which can be executed by all nations without holding the progressive countries back to the position of- the least advanced powers. 2. How to draw a treaty which can hope to be approved by the President and Senate of the United States without for feiting the favor of the great powers of Europe, that have -adopted as their stand ard the Anglo-French treaty of arbitra tion. This latter problem arose from the failure of the Hay treaties to meet with the approval of the United States in the form in which they were negotiated. The Hay treaties proposed to refer to arbi tration all questions of a legal nature, provided they do not affect the vital in terest or the honor of either of the con tracting powers, or the Interests of a third power. A subsequent clause was Inserted which provided that, when any particular controversy might arise, a sub sequent agreement should be entered in to between the contracting powers before resort could be had to the Court of Ar bitration under the terms of this treaty The Senate struck out the word "agree ment and substituted the. word "treaty" and then passed the treaty thus amended by practically a unanimous vote, only nine Senators objecting to the amend ment. This amendment necessitated se curing the consent of the Senate in each case when the subsequent agreement was being concluded. Upon the initiative of American Con gressmen the Inter-Parliamentary Com mission decided upon a plan to surmount the difficulty. This plan is to specify distinctly the classes of questions to be arbitrated, so that the Senate can ex ercise Its judgment when it ratifies the treaty. To prevent this specification from holding all nations back to the position occupied by the least progressive coun try. It was proposed that each nation could designate Individually the classes of controversies In which It may be in terested, which shall be arbitrated by the International Court, and to permit the addition of- other classes of controversies by each nation .after the original rati fication of the treaty. In this way each nation can put the treaty Into operation In a wider area by its own act between itself and all other Nations which have previously desig nated or which might subsequently des ignate the same classes of questions as arbitrable under the terms of the treaty. By this provision all Nations can be par ties to the same treaty, and yet its scope would be wider between the backward Nations. It would seem likely, therefore, that the London Conference will be able to agree upon a plan for ascertaining the principles which nations ought hereafter to observe in their conduct toward each other, and for deciding when a violation of accepted principles has taken place. The indications are that there will be perfect agreement upon the most impor tant points, but perhaps a difference of opinion on the question of limitation of armaments. The British members will make a stand for consideration by the second Hague conference of this ques tion, which held the foremost place In the rescript of the Czar In his call for the first Hague conference, and which was subordinated by that conference to the great constructive work of organiz ing an International Court of Arbitra tion. There Is a considerable party in every national parliament which has been laying the emphasis of the arbitra tion movement upon the limitation of armaments. There Is such a party ih the United States Congress, and It Is prob able that the intellectual struggle at London will center around -this proposi tion. The position has been taken by Richard Bartholdt, the president of the American group, that the work of con structing an International deliberative body must precede the decrease or even the limitation of armaments. The report of the Commission of In' tematlonal Congress favors the reorgan ization of the union in such form that it will in due time become a sort of Inter national House of Representatives, whose members come from the Parliaments, and capable of co-operating with the per manent conference at The Hague, whose members will be - selected by the execu tives of each nation. TE ODESSA Attacks on Jews Portend Awful - Massacre. KAULBARS' SAVAGE WORDS Predicts Blood Eneedeep if One Cos sack Killed Pledge of Loyalty Is Demanded When Pro tection Is Sought. ODESSA, July 23. Cil:30 P. M.) So far as this, city is concerned, not in the days of the general strike have conditions seemed quite so threatening as now, and unless something intervenes to quiet the Ifliltliill f " v mtm i i "s. ft W feaaii jjrwa. MRS. RUSSELL SAGE. WHO WILL, MANAGE DEAD HUSBAND'S MILLIONS. "working-men and their peasant allies, bloody conflicts must take place. The Prefect and General Kaulbars have done everything possible to quiet the malcontents during the last 36. hours, but as moments go by matters seem to become more and more involved, and their efforts are nullified by the attitude of their subordinates, who are seizing upon the occasion to cancel old scores and to attack all persons who have In the past Indicated by their attitude that they were by no means friends of the loyalists." It Is feared that a massacre of Jews is impending. A number of members of the "bund" appealed to the Commandant of the Cossacks detailed for duty in the Jewish quarter to protect them from any attack that might come. They were in formed this evening that, if they would organize "loyal" processions and see that these traversed every street in the cen tral section of the city, all participants to wear photographic badges of the Czar and each detachment to be preceded by banners pledging the "loyalty" of mem bers of the Jewish race, the Jews of the city would not be molested. Needless to say, the' members of the bund could not accept. It is now feared that the Cossacks will countenance Jewish outrages and an almost Indescribable state of panio exists in the Jewish quarter. ' . Later in the night deputations of Jews called upon General Kaulbars and. asked him to prevent the Cossacks from attack ing the people. He told them he would vouch only for the good conduct of the regular troops and wound up his remarks by saying: "If a fresh attempt is made on the lives of the Cossacks aye, even if one only is killed, Odessa will run knee-deep In blood." . . At midnight the Inhabitants were mov ing in masses through the center of the town, where the hotels were overcrowded. Cossacks have declared that they will tonight slaughter all Jews in Prokho rovskaya street, where their comrades were killed. POLICE AND TROOPS ON GUARD Army Holds Down Capital Hosts of Arrests Censor Busy.' ST. PETERSBURG. July 23. A cor respondent of the Associated Press made a tour of the city early this morn ing. At every block he encountered re inforced patrols, saw excited groups on corners, and met half a dozen squads of gendarmes with drawn swords, escorting little bands of arrested persons to prison. During the night over 1000 arrests of workmen, agitators and revolutionary sus pects were made. The railroads leading out of the city have been placed under martial law and the gendarmes search the passengers and baggage on all trains for arms and political documents. Sys tematic military requisitions for politic cal agitators and especially members of the proletariat organizations, are In full swing. Army of 60,000 Men. Not only the Tauride Palace, but the - gates of the park leading to It are closed and the surroundings are alive with gen darmes and secret police. In the court yard of a neighboring, barracks of one of the guard regiments the correspondent saw two companies drawn up in marching order, and shortly afterwards he met a travel-stained detachment of Gray Cui rassiers galloping in from Krasnoye-Selo camp. With the regular garrison there are now more than 60,000 troops massed in the city, including 40 battalions of in fantry, practically the entire cavalry of the guard, a division of infantry of the guard, a field battery, four other bat teries and four companies1 of machine guns. Upon the dead walls are posted proda- nations of the Prefect of Police ordering all proprietors of houses, porters and door guardians to obey and aid the police in cases of disorders, prohibiting meet ings, publio or. private, without permis sion; prohibiting the collection of money for Illegal purposes, the distribution of proclamations, the raising of flags and singing in the streets. The hall of the Economy' Society, as well as other halls, which assemblages have frequented, are closed and under guard. A meeting of engineers was brok en up at 2 o'clock and a score of prisoners were arrested. Gnard Over Newspapers. The Prefect of Police placed police offi cers in the newspaper offices last night to see that they did not transgress the limits of the law, under threat of con fiscation of their issues. This accounts for the comparative mildness of the press, comments this morning, even though the edition of the Rech was seized soon after it left the press. The Rech terms the dissolution of Par liament Incredible in view of the events of the past year, and says: "It is true that a new Parliament has been sum moned, but In the present temper of the population, it is meaningless. With the shattering of the hopes of the people falls the prestige of the principle of popular representation. - If the best men In the country, as the Emperor called them, could not restore tranquillity, what chance has the discredited Ministry to t prevent an elementary explosion. Old methods of repression can only result in untold horror. "We profoundly regret what must fol low, but the conscience of Parliament, which tried to avoid a conflict, is clear. The blood of the martyrs will not be upon Its shoulders. Parliament has not sat in vain.- It has strengthened the cause of liberty and proved to Europe that the Russians are not barbarians, but are fitted for self-government." Terrorists With Photographs. Among the persons arrested are a num ber of Terrorists on whom are found photographs of their intended victims, as in the case of General Kozlov's assassin. From every direction come reports that an era of repression has been inaugu rated, including the confiscating of radi cal newspapers, and wholesale arrests of political and revolutionary suspects, and there Is every indication that most serious outbreaks will occur in the cities of Southern Russia, and that a rising of the peasants will begin In the Volga region and in the famine-stricken central prov inces. The signal for a general strike, however, has not yet been given. Massacre of Jews Planned. LONDON. July 23. Israel Zanewill. president of the Jewish Territorial organi zation, has received a telegram from Russia, to the effect that the country is on the eve of new massacres of Jews. which have been fixed for July 28, the anniversary oi Russia's conversion to Christianity. Arms, it is said, are being distributed, and leaflets are being scat tered, inciting massacres In the name of religion. The message Implores the as sistance of Europe to prevent bloodshed. Trust to Nature. A great many Americans, both men and women, are thin, pale and puny, with poor circulation, because they have ill treated their stomaohs by hasty eating or too much eating, by consuming alco holic beverages, or by too close confine ment to home, office or factory, and In consequence the stomach must be treated in a natural way before they can rectify their earlier mistakes. The muscles in many inch people. In fact in every weary, thin and thin-blooded Deraon. do their work with great difficulty. As a result jaugue comes early, is extreme and lasts long. The demand for nutritive aid is ahead of the supply. To insure perfect neat u everr tissue. Done, nerve ana muscle should take from the blood cer tain materials and return to It certain others. It is necessary to prepare toe stomaoh for the work of taking up from the food what is necessary to make good, rich, red blood. We must go to Nature for the remedy. There were certain roots known to the Indians of this country before the advent of the whites which later eame to the knowledge of the settlers and which are now growing rapidly in professional favor for the cure or oDswnate stomach ana liver troubles. These are found to be safe and yet cer tain in their cleansing and invigorating effect noon the stomach, liver and blood. These are: Golden 8eel root. Queen's root, Stona root, Bloodroot, Mandrake root. Then there is Black Cherry bark. The medicinal Diincinles resldina?

PANIC HITS FRANCE Revolution Causes Slump in Russian Stocks. CZAR'S ACTION CONDEMNED Dissolution of Douma Violates Con ditions of Loan European Pow ers Suspected of Prompting Czar to Defy People. "PARI3, July 23. The Russian situation absorbs the attention of officials, the public and the press of Paris, and it Is peculiarly apparent on the Bourse, where the slump in Russian securities today al most caused a panic. In official circles the dissolution of Parliament was unex pected, some of the latest advices reach ing the Foreign Office indicating the prob ability of a compromise Ministry, in which members of the lower house would par ticipate. Officials here are cautious In criticising the turn of events, owing to the political relations existing between France and Russia, but it Is . freely admitted that French sentiment universally - condemns the dissolution of the representative branch of Parliament. Much attention la given in bign quarters to reports of intrigues by certain Euro pean powers preceding the dissolution, the prevaumg view here bomg that Emperor Nicholas' course was Influenced by coun sels outside of Russia. . The nnancis.l effect of the Imperial man ifesto Is causing apprehension, as one of the chief Inducements to the taking up of the last Russian loan was the govern ment's assurances of the quieting of In ternal disorders by co-operation with Par liament. Members of the Bourse, how ever, urge calmness, declaring that. If the situation remains another week without an outbreak, Russian securities will be stronger than before, as the agitations In cident to the debates in Parliament will have been removed and the government will then have demonstrated Its ability to maintain order. Russians were mercilessly cut, causing an exceptional decline in governments and industrials. Offerings of the last Is sue of Russian nvea were so numerous that operators were overwhelmed and un able to post official, quotations during the early hours. The quotations finally appeared at 81, or a loss of 4 francs 60 centimes against Sat urday's closing price of 85 francs 60 cen times and 88 francs 60 centimes when the coupons were paid a week ago. All the early Russians were similarly affected, bonds of 1904 losing 19 francs and 4s of 1905 losing . 3 francs 60 centimes. Indus trials participated in the declines. British Express Sympathy. LONDON, July 23. A British address of sympathy with the Russian people and Parliament Is being circulated. Already the signatures of many persons have been obtained. Stocks Decline in Vienna. VIENNA.

The Jews here are in a state of panic, fearing an anti-Jewish outbreak as the result of the killing of a drunken Cossack who recently wandered through the Jewish quarter brandishing his saber and shouting: "Death to the Jews," Governor-General Kaulbars, ad dressing a delegation of Jews today, said: .
