Hla Majesty dealres to approach blra with a proposal to the effect that he Gov ernment of the United .States take part In a new international conference, which will be called together at The Hague as soon as favorable replies can be secured from all the other states to whom, a similar proposal will be made. As the course of the late war. haa given rise to a number of question that are of the greatest importance and closely related to the ects of the first conference, the pleni potentiaries of Russia. 4it the future meeting ing will lay before the conference a detailed programme that could serve as a starting point for lUi deliberations. The President's reply, after reciting the substance of the CzarTs Invitation, says: The Secretary of State, by direction of the President, has the honor to confirm to His Excellency, the Ambassador of Russia the assurance that the President had the sincere 'pleasure to give to Ills Excellency at the time of the presentation of the memorandum of September 13. The President's circular to the powers party to the actn of The Hague Conference, which the late Secretary of State communicated to the several signatories through the envoys accredited thereto, dated respectively October 21 and December 10 of last year, have demonstrated the President" keen desire t.hat upon a favorable occasion the labor of the first International Peace Con ference might be supplemented and completed br an accord- to be reached by a second con ference of tho powers. The suggestion so rut forthlng having "been accepted In principkt by thee signatories, it only remained for the opportune moment to come for the powers to agree upon the place and time for their renewed assemblage in order to perfect the beneficial agreements of the Urst conference. . The . President most enthusiastically wel comes the' offer of His Imperial Majesty to again take upon himself the Initiation 'of the steps requisite to convene a second interna tional . peace Conference- as the necessary se quence to- the first conference'brought about through" His Majesty's effort, and. In view of the cordial responses to the President's sug gestion of October. ItKM.' he doubts not that the' project will meet with acceptance and that the result will be to bring the nations of the earth still ,more closely together In their common, endeavor to advance the ends of peace. As respects the further statement of bis excellency's - memorandum of September 13 that, as the late war has given rise to & number of questions that "are of the great est Importance and closely related to the acts of the first .conference, the plenipotentiaries of Rucsla. at the future meeting-will lay before the conference, a detailed programme that could serve-as a starting point for Its delib erations. -The President finds It In conso nance with the Indications- of his circular of October 21. 1304. touching the questions to come before a second conference for die cushion, and the Importance of completing the' workings, of the first conference by ample ex change of .views, and it is to "be hoped full concord". upon' the broad questions specifically relegated - by the final act of The Hague t the consideration of a future conference.

The appearance at the administration building for the first time of Ensign Charles G. Wade, of the Bennington, who la expected to "be an Important witness, was the only matter of Interest in the morning session of .the Young court-martial, which dragged wearily on with Lieutenant-Commander Bartlett still under cross-examination by the defense. Mrt Wade was not admitted to the courtroom, but was the center of a group of officers in the ante-room. His appearance gives little Indication of the critical condition which he was recently in as a result of. an operation for gangrenous appendicitis. Taft Will Visit Panama. 'WASHINGTON.

Good Cause for Cuban Discontent. WASHINGTON. Oct." 14. Information from Cuba that there is a growing dissat isfaction there at the terms of the pro posed Anglo-Cuban treaty has developed here the fact that the Washington Gov ernment thoroughly appreciates the rea sons jtfterefor. The official view here is that the treaty is distinctly disadvan tageous to Cuba In that it precludes that country from renewing with the United States her reciprocity treaty, which is ef fective only for five years, and gives prac tically no benefits to Cuba. ISSUES CIRCULAR ON FEDERAL. IN SURANCE BILL. Senator Seek OpIhIobm of All Interests -oa Vital IJtsae Beckhnm Aamtent Lnwson. NEW YORK, Oct.. 14. For the pur .pose.of securing a 'comprehensive ex pression of public opinion on trie ques tion of National control of life Insur ance, United States Senator John Dry den has sent out many copies of tho following circular letter with an ap pended list of questions to be answered: In his last annual message President Roose velt called the attention of Congress to te necessity for Federal legislation providing for the regulation and control of Insurance com panies transacting state and International bus iness. In compliance with an Increasing de mand from insurance policyholders and others Interested in the public welfare, I Introduced into the last Congress a bill to this effect, providing that there should be established within the Bureau of Corporations- a division of Insurance, and that policies of Insurance were deemed to be articles -of commerce and instrumentalities thereof. The bill was In troduced too late to secure, final consideration, but the demand for such a measure has be come even more apparent In the meantime. nd I expect to reintroduce the same, possibly with ; oil eh t modifications. Into the Congress which Is to meet In December. The bill will be Introduced In behalfof the policyholders of all American Insurance companies In the firm belief that their present and future Interests demand the additional protection of a Federal statute regulating In surance transactions between the states. In addition, of course, to such supervision and regulation as constitutionally belongs to the states from which the companies derive their charters; furthermore, that by eliminating a considerable amount of needless .state super vision the following Important benefits aro expected to result: First An increase in the security of the policyholders. Second A decrease In the expense rate and the cost of Insurance. ' Third A decrease in the burden of needless taxation. f ' Fourth K decrease In the amount of elerlcal labor now Indispensable to meet the reaulre mentfl of some 50 states and territories. Fifth The stamping out of fraudulent In surance enterprises. Sixth Adequate National protection for American companies transacting business in foreign countries. Since thus far Interstate Insurance transas tlons have not been brought within the scope of Congressional action. I desire to secure an exprewton of views from the Interests af fected by such a measure and I therefore take the liberty of troubUng you with a few ques tlons, to which I would like to have you reply yes or nov as the case may be, together with any additional comments of your oven whleh you. may wish to make upon the matter. The nature of these questions is In dicated by the letter. DISCLOSURES ARE ASTOUNDING Net York Iilfc and 3IutuulMay Be Barred From Tcxus. HOUSTON. Tex., Oct. 14. Insuranco Commissioner Clay, who has Just returned from New York, where he attended the legislative life insurance Investigation, filed his report with Governor Lanham at Austin this afternoon. In part he says: " "I do not believe the necessity exists at present for revoking the permtis to do business in Texas of the Mutual, the Equitable and the New York Life Insur ance Companies, as I am led to believe each is fully solvent. However, I have no means of knowing what.the Investiga tion may yet reveal. The disclosures are most astounding and reveal a shameless and prodigal exploitation of funds. It ap pears that the administration has been of personal gain and reckless and shameless prostitution of the trust reposed In the officers. I would recommend that the policy-holders be warned and every effort made to bring them to a proper appre ciation of their responsibility. These com panies are mutual; all their assets belong to the policy-holders, and they should bring all pressure to bear to force a reor ganization of the companies, prosecution of the officers guilty of maladministration and a restitution of the funds that have been so outrageously and shamelessly dts Blpated." Commissioner Clay threatens that unless a reorganization Is forced, the "New York Iilfc and the Mutual will be barred from Texas at the expiration of their licenses, December 31. Wants Mutual Reserve Debarred. BALTIMORE, Oct. 14. A petition alleg ing illegal and fraudulent methods of do buslness was filed today with Frank I. Duncan, State Insurance Commissioner, In behalf of trie late Dr. Ellas C. Price by Attorneys Barrett and Merriman, ask ing that the Mutual Reserve Life Insur ance Company of New York be debarred from doing business In Maryland. In the petition It Is stated that com pany Is the legal successor of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, of New York, whose license was revoTced by Commissioner TJoyd Wilkinson HEMERY IS ME Automobile -Race Ends in Vic tory for France. NONE OF RIDERS' KILLED One .Machine Hits Telephone-Pole, Another Rolls Machinist Over on Ground Wild Ex citement at Finish. NEWYORK, Oct. -14. In a driving; finish, with the next man only a.' few seconds behind him. Auguste Hemery. of the team of French automobile racers, won the race for the W. K. Vanderbilt. Jr., cup. over the Long; Island course today. Hemery made the distance of 2S3 miles In 276 minutes elapsed time. George Heath, the American, driving a French ear, was se.cond. while Tracy, another Ameri can, but not of the French team, was third, and Lancia, of the Italian team, fourth. Hemery won from Heath by three minutes 32 seconds elapsed time. Time at" the finish: Elapsed, time. 4:26:05 4:33:40 4:5S:2S 5:00:31 Driver Time. Hemery 10:52:0S Heath 10:52:40 Tracy 11:01:26 Lancia 11:03:31 This was the sci-nn,l r-tn r- fhn Vanderbilt cup, but the event was marked, by no serious accidents, as was that of last year. The winner. Heath. In 1904 ran 300 miles In Ave hours, 26 minutes, 45 seconds. Italian Becomes Excited. When Tracy had crossed the rlnish Hne today the race was stopped. Latt cla.sjnstead of continuing down the course, 'jjrove up to the grandstand nnd began to gesticulate wildly to the officials of the course. The crowd poured over on the course to begin their departure, and after a time Lan cia started .his car again and the crowd fell back as the pistol-like re ports of the exhaust cracked and tho sides of the machine belched flume and smoke. It was thought that Lancia had entered a protest because of a collision he had with Christie as ho was leaving a gasoline-control. But no protest was made. Lancia smilingly saying to the newspapermen he had none to make.- The first car was started promptly at 6 o'clock this morning, and the oth ers were sent away at one-minute In tervals. Jenatzy. of the German team, was the first away, and during the earlier rounds of the course he was the favorite. He was delayed, how ever, for a half hour or more at Bulls head Corner by the breaking of his chain on the third lap. and was unable to stand the rack and tear which the sharp Bullshead turn throws upon a machine unless taken at a moderate speed. Jenatzy skidded around at a speed which caused hi car to reel on two wheels. Just as it had settled down there was a sudden snap, and Jenntzy's chain was lashing about. Tho car was rushed into a repair station, where haste was made to repair the damage. A Few "Minor Accidents." In the meantime Lancia was reeling off the miles and had taken a great lead, which he maintained until his collision with Christie. Foxlmll P. Keene met a mishap early In the race that compelled his withdrawal. Keene was reported, at the grandstand to have run into a telephone pole, smash ing hi3 car. There was great anxiety over this report, and a call for physi cians was made, out Mr. Keene him self telephoned to the stand that he was uninjurei. but would be unable to continue the race. Another minor accident that caused some apprehension was the report of Lyttle's losing his mechanic. Tatter sail, out of the car while passing through a piece of woods on the back of the course. . W. K. Vanderbilt. Jr.. Jumped into his racing machine and sped back over the course to plckr Tattersall up. It was found thut tha mechanic had been llxing some of the car's machinery, and was leaning well forward, and at a sharp turn he was hurled oer and ove"r out of the car. He was found, much scratched and bruised, but no bones were broken. These were the most serious of the day's accidents, and gave the crowd its thrills. llcniery's Exciting Finish. Hemery, of the French team. In the meantime had come welFto the front, and from the seventh round on to tho end there was pretty racing between him and Heath. Going through the starting-point on the ninth rounds Hemery led Heath by two seconds. As the pair passed the grandstand a mighty shout went up. Lancia was making a stiff race for the others, but Hemery and .Heath had too big a lead on him. They went through Lakeville. fighting for the lead." The fact that Hemery started three minutes later than Heath seemed at this point, bar ring accidents, to make the race sure ly his. Hemery passed Hyde Park ahead of Heath. Now everyone leaned over the stands and strained his eyes down the road for the first glimpse of the win ner. Hemery was .the first to cross the line. The occupants of the stands held their breath until thet cars flew through. Scarcely a cheer sounded until they were well down the road. Then the spectators shouted them selves hoarse. Dingiey went through on his fifth lap and Warden on his eighth. The fight for the third place was between Tracy, of the Americans, and Lancia. Tracy got third place. Not the least enthusiastic 'person among the men on the course was W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., the donor of the cup: "A fine ride, well run and well won." he told Hemery.
