Hague Peace Conference Votes on
Great Tribunal.
The Hague, Sept. 83 The sixth
plenary sitting of the peace conference
tcday attracted an unusually large au
dience. The members of the Interna
tional Seiamological and Dairy con
greases, which were meeting here, were
present. In the course of the discus
sion regarding the establishment of an
international prae court, Senor Etteva
(Mex co) announced that the Mexican
delegation would now vote In favor ot
the proposition, as the modification
permitting a country interested in a
case to have ita own judge on the tri
bunal largaly does away with the objec
tionable features of the earlier propo
sition which be said contravened the
principle of the equality of nations.
Senor Lsteva added tht while Mexico
would support the proposition to estab
lish a prize court, she did not withdraw
her opinion, repeatedly expressed,
against the project to establish an ln-
in Pacific waters. Ac
cording to these authorities, the fleet
has been ordered to the Pacific not so
much as a warning to Japan for her
past actions as for a floating protest
against her contemplated seixure of
China. In fact, these naval men inter
pret that the presence of the fleet on
uns side 01 me continent as a message
to Japan clearly saying: "Thou shalt
