THE HAGUE), July 18.-The sitting of the peace conference today has been one of the most important held for Interest in the questions discussed as well as for the powerful speeches delivered by Joseph H. Choate of the United State: M. Drago at the Argentine Republic, and Perei Trlana of Columbia, while. In addition, Spain made a declaration which attracted much attention as revealing the desire of the Spanish government to assume a kind of moral tutelage over the Latin-American countries. Spain's declaration says that country adheres to the principles of moderation which Inspired the American proposition limiting force for the collection of public, debts, these being the principles that the government and the King have followed and will always follow. In concluding his address Mr. Choate made an eloquent appeal to the nations to enter into a general convention, which ought to be entirely distinct and inde pendent, for the settlement of disputed questions arising in arbitration. Mr. Choate at a committee meeting thus stated the reasons that had Induced the American Government to propose a gen eral treaty of arbitration. He said: The dangers and mischief threatening the world from constant preparation for war and the accumulation of arms have been somewhat mitigated by the excellent work of the first peace conference in recommena inr arbitration to the nations as a "bs tute for war and the establishment at Th Hague of a permanent court. Since that time great event, have occurred and two terrible wars, which Inflicted untold misery upon many, have led to Interna tional agreements of arbitration, separately and in pairs. There Is no reason why Na tions that agree by each other, or 1 two. should not agree altogether to do ex actly the same thing. . . Continuing, Mr. Choate referred -to the excellent work done in this direc tion bv tho Pan-American conferences at Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, and It was under thfse circumstances, he said that the United States proposed general arbitration corresponding In form and substance to the many indi vidual treaties which have been en tered into. Including those negotiated by the United States in 1904, but re serving the right of the Senate to par ticipate in any special agreement which might become necessary, carrying the treaty into effect in particular cases. Mr. Choata's remarks were interrupt ed often by applause, and he was warmly congratulated by many delegates. The American delegation has pre sented the following proposition: "If for any reason a captured neutral vessel cannot be tried, the vessel must be released." The Peruvian delegation has present ed the following amendment to the American proposition regarding the collection of contractural debts: "The principles' established by this proposition cannot be applied to differ ences arising from contracts between the government of one country and the foreign subjects of another, when the contracts provide that these differences must bo submitted to the Judges of local tribunals." The Venezuelan delegation presented a declaratioi. on the same subject, mak ing the same objection .as Peru with the addition that in case no contract exists all diplomatic means of reaching an understanding must be tried before recourse is had . to the permanent court of arbitration. The Venezuelan declaration ends with these words: "It is understood that said differ ences are to be settled through peace ful means without recourse to coercive measures Implying the employment of military or naval forces." The committee dealing with the bom bardment of undefended towns and vil lages today approved the Italian propo sition forbidding such acts. Upon leav ing the sitting, Brigadier-General George B. Davis, one of the American delegates, remarked cynically: "Since the time of Julius Ceasar no example exists of an undefended town being bombarded, but the conference took three weeks to realize It."

Said Kalil Haick, the Syrian dragoman who announces - his betrothal to Miss Eloise Ellwood, grand-daughter of Isaac L. Ell wood, multi-millionaire steel magnate, and worth millions in her own right, la re pudiated by other Syrians, who say he is an Egyptian negnj, and not even an ordin ary dragoman. E. EL Corri, of this city, correspondent of a Syrian paper, sniffs contemptuously at Haick's claims of a "fine old family," and says Halck is a common product of the desert. Meanwhile, the members of the Ellwood family here and in New York are voicing angry protests over the affair, and the three Elwood mansions at Dekalb, 111., are carefully guarded to prevent Kalil Halck paying a visit to MIssElolse. Her mother is prostrated over the announce ment, but the girl has not been seen or interviewed by any one. Her father. W. L. Ellwood, Is hastening to New York to see the alleged Syrian, ahd break off the match. Said Kalil Haick was the guide and dragoman for Mrs. Ellwood, and her daughter during a trip through Egypt a year ago, and it is said the love match prospered at that time. While Miss Ell wood's relatives are trying to prevent the culmination of the romance, which re sulted from her trip in Egypt, Said Kalil Halck still Insists that the wedding will take place as arranged. . He is confident of success. That some sort of an engagement exists between the .dragoman and Miss Ellwood is no longer denied by the Ellwood fam ily, but its members are reticent concern ing it. Nothing has occurred in Dekalb in the last quarter of a century that has caused such a sensation as the announce ment that Miss Ellwood was to marry a dragoman or "contractor to tourists," as he prefers to style his occupation.

QUAKER CITY IS STRICKEN Sun's Rajs Pour Through Humid Air on Atlantic Coast, Killing Many Flood Devastates Middle States. PHILADELPHIA, July lg.-The parade of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks today was marked by the prostra tion from heat of an army of persons. The number was 2500 and would have been greater had it not been for the eventual downpour of a heavy rain. Never has there been such a wholesale prostration of people in the city. For six hours the police, ambulances, sur geons and the Red Cross nurses were kept on the run looking for persons who collapsed under the scordhlng rays of the sun and, largely because of their ex cellent service, but one case resulted fa tally. James Rowley, aged 44 years, of this city, died in a hospital after being stricken in the street. The other stricken persons are said to be In good condition, with no prospect of fatal results. The parade went along Broad street for a distance of three miles north and the same distance south of the City Hall. The paraders countermarched the last three miles back to the City Hall, so t".at they traversed upwards of nine miles, yet few of those, overcome by the heat were In the line of march. Swelter In Solid Mass. Those who succumbed were among the spectators Jammed along the street In a solid mass from one end of the line to the other. The temperature hovered around 90 degrees and the humidity was excessive, and as a consequence people sweltered. Every attention was given to the spec tators to see that they were protected, but It required four hours for the marchers to pass a given point and the eager peo ple stood In the hot sun for two hours or more before the parade started. The to tal number in the line of march is con servatively estimated at 20,000 men, with 125 floats. Hospitals Are Overflowed. The emergency corps of physicians maintained by the city, which is aug mented on special occasions to several hundred, was all on duty today. At the intersection of every main street was a hospital station, and all were kept busy. The hospitals nearest the route of the parade were crowded, and they had abandoned all routine in the rush to take care of the cases coming in every minute. As, a rule names of patients were not taken. One of the most serious cases was that of an un identified man taken to Jefferson Hos pital. It took eight men to put him in an ice bath, and he broke the nose of an attendant before he was subdued. The rear portion of the parade still had four miles to march when a thun derstorm broke, causing the paraders and crowds to scatter. The storm came quicker than the people anticipated and the crowds that stood for hours in the sun ist danger of sunstroke were soaked to the skin by rain. With the heavy rain came a cessation of heat prestations. About 100 lodges from cities and towns from tho Atlantic to the Pacific participated in the parade. There were 10 divisions under command of Chief Marshal John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans, grand squire of the Elks. The Philadelphia lodge had the right of the line with 1S00 meni The New York lodge followed.
