CONFERENCE mm EXEMPT PRIVATE PROPERTY Delegates Want Expenses For Armanent Cut Down Berlin May Get Next Meeting; Bogota Wants It In 1910, ARAGONIA SAILS FOR ORIENT LONDON. July 23. The conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, after a prolonged debate today, adopted the following resolution: "The Inter-Parliamentary Union, now assembled Sn London, expresses the view that the second Hague conference should, "First, by treaty define contraband of ar as being restricted to arms, muni tion of war and explosives. "Second, reassert and confirm the prin ciple that neither a ship carrying con traband of war nor other goods aboard Such ship not being contraband of war may be destroyed. Third, affirm that even belligerents' private property should be as immune at sea as it is on land." The conference also adopted a resolu tion in favor of the discussion by The Hague conference of means to cut down the "intolerable expenditure on arma ments." Another resolution provides that each national group shall apply to its own government to grant funds to all future conferences of the Inter-Parliamentary L'nion. The decision as to the time and place of the next conference was left in the kands of the International Council. It is expected that it will be held in Berlin in 1908. The conference then concluded its sessions. The delegates were entertained at luncheon at the House of Lords. A depu tation of the visitors will be received by King Edward at Buckingham Palace to morrow morning. Senor Diego ilendoza extended an in vitation to the Parliamentary Union to bold its session in. 1910 at Bogota the capital of Colombia. He said, in part: "The year 1910 will mark the 100 anni versary of the independence of Colombia, achieved through the leadership of Simon Bolivar. As Colombia has had some part in promoting the progress of the Parlia mentary principle, and in three years will be celebrating the centennial of her independence, it seems that the Colom bian Congress will have a sort of his toric right and duty to be the host upon that occasion of the Interparliamentary Union." Lord Chancellor Loreburn presided at the luncheon at the House of Lords, and Ambassador Reid, Paul Cambon, the French Ambassador, Count Benkendorf, the Russian Ambassador, and other mem bers of the diplomatic corps, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Lowther; Herbert Gladstone, the Home Secretary; the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Bryce; "William J.

The Portland Journal of yesterday has j the following to say about the ship I Rrabloch: "After having lain idle in the bay off Astoria for nine months the British ship Rrabloch was finally chartered this morning to load wheat at this port for the United Kingdom. She will not com mence receiving until the new crop ... . 1 t. ,1. conies in. which means mat sue win have been exactly a year in the harbor. This, however, i by no means extra ordinary Jong, for several vessels got away from San Frandco last season after having tugged at their onchora in Oakland creek for two or three years. "The Brtiblorh was held here because of the obstinacy of her owners. Ihey have the reputation of never accepting business except at their own terms and will rather let their vessel lay idle and rot away than take engagements not in accordance with their original terms. In this case the Brabloch could have had several lumber cargoes, but her owners held out for wheat and the combination rate. Balfour, Guthrie 4 company de cided upon taking the vessel yesterday afternoon and a cable was received this morning clinching the transaction. "The Brabloch will commence receiv ing cargo in September. She is a large vessel and will carry approximately 123.000 bushels. With the charter of the Brabloch there remains only one disen gaged carrier in the river, the British ship Colgate, which arrived from Rotter dam, May 12, with a general cargo. The Galgate was reported chartered several wegks ago to carry lumber to Callao, but if Is ' now" understood that the deal fell through." The British ship Brabloch, Captain Baxter, which has laid in this port since the 24th of November of last year, has secured a charter and has cleared from the custom house here for Portland, where she will load out grain for the United Kingdom, for orders there. The Barbloch and her master are nearly as well known here now as Tongue Point or any other fixtnre, and it is said that if she had not sailed so soon, the govern ment was about to include her in the day-marks of the. harbor, and give the mariners something new to ateer by. Captain Baxter has many warm friends here who will wish him a safe voyage home and a speedy return. The Lurline made good time down the river yesterday. Captain Larkin came text being that a noble life is better jdown on her for a. breath of fresh ai than death in the battle.

The German ship Emelie went to sea yesterday, in spite of the crew's kirk against her being short-handed four men. Captain Wilhelm made it plain to the men that he eeuld not secure other sailors and they finally consented to sail. She goes direct to Copenhagen. The steamer Alliance hould be in to day from Eureka, being now a day or two behind her schedule, owing probably to the awkward crew of non-seamen, she had on board who do not know anything about handling cargo. The steamer Homer cleared from this port yesterday for Dutch Harbor with a full load of general meit-handie and cannery supplies for the North American Commercial Company, at St. Paul's Isl and, Alaska.

CLERK BIDS BONDS (Continued from page 1) after a certain percentage payment should be made when bids are mailed, as in the case of city bonds. There was a report in Wall street yes terday that Byerley was endeavoring to sell his option. It was said that some of the big bond houses were holding back in the belief that they would get some of his bonds eventually through his inabil ity to put up the cash on August 1. Nevertheless Wall street guesses that the clerk will make good. In 1890 Abraham White, clerk in a broker's office, on his own hook, bid for a big block of bonds and made a profit of $100,000. As a result of his bid a rule was made by the Treasury De partment tdiat a cash payment must ac company all bids. This rule obtained until this hist bond issue, when it was either overlooked or suspended. "And1 now to my meditation. Are we in America building 'better or wore 'than we know?' I have teen the pile of brick and stone, reaching upward. The tall buildings are separated by shawoded canyons. But what of the future! "listen. Whoever thiuks the earth U a thing fixed, thinks not at all. It i a rolling ball, trembling. twiting. shrink- ing. expanding. The moon raUes and drops a flood of water upon it, twice every day. The sun expands one side, endlessly, ceaseles-ly, twUting, expands and contracts it. The Arctic cold piles up ice ami snow, to change the equili brium of the poles. The lines from the stars eros it infinitely. The electrical energies created in this great dynamo, the earth, that rolls through space catch ing the forces, heats and even melts its interior in spot. The mineral within are acted upon by seeping water from the crust, mighty convulsions follow, volcanoes uprise. Never is the earth at rest, never does it eeae to tremble, lwit. groan and writhe. "Listen, my dear judge. On this thing earth, that has no rest, no part of it ever lieing long at rest, men live. When comes the earth-tremble the oriental runs into the street, if he be not in it. If his house falls down, what matter it, he is in the street. No interminable (lights of stairs, no congested elevators, plugged by the first earth-tremble, no over-topping pile of brick and mortar overhead, to fall upon those beneath and cover those within, no wooden houses to catch fire and burn in the aftermath. The orientals caught in the catastrophe will lie few, as contrasted with the thou sands who must go, when come the day of judgment on the American-built city. "Listen. If you think no volcanic or quaking danger menaces America, go to the Rocky Mountain, study the earth, fio beyond, cross the ("incut Divide, and witness the mighty luva streams cover ing the land, almost to the doors of the Pacific. "Put this letter away; it may not be of use other than to indicate that live weeks' absence from the world has made me unduly moody, apprehensive of pos sibilities, not likely to be probable. But I am overwhelmed in forebodings. I feel that some day some man who views the ruins of America, as now I see the scattered mills of the pnst, will rend such a letter as this, understand ing.
