JOHN L. JONES. The One Great Thing at The Hague. The Conference has gone through the form of considering measures supposed to promote the cause of universal peace The decorous, harmless ceremony has come to a conclusion. The dream of the young Emperor who called the nations together has not been realized. The hopes of Bertha von Sutt ner and the enthusiasts of her school have been disappointed. The military system of the world is intact Not only is there no step to ward disarmament, there is also no set back to further armament Arbitration has gained nothing of any consequence. War upon ordinary prov ocation in as likely to occur in any given instance as if the delegates to the Peace Conference had never assembled. The gracious phrases and conventional expressions of congratulation which mark the dissolution of the Conference cover but do not conceal these facts Was it then a waste of time and effort, so far as the participation of this conn try is concerned 1 By no means. The representatives of the United States have left upon the record one solid, immutable fact of prime importance to us and to all the world; and it was worth their while to go to The Hague if only to register this declaration: "Nothing contained in this conven tion shall be so construed as to require the United States to depart from its traditional policy of not entering upon, interfering with, or entangling itself in the political questions or internal ad ministration or a»y foreign State. Nor shall anything in said convention be construed to require the relinquishment by the United States of its traditional attitude toward purely American ques tions." Expansion proceeds, but the Monroe Doctrine stands The Conference at The Hague was a convenient occasion for the formal reaffirmation of American policy respecting European interference in the affairs of the Western Continent. —N. Y. Sun. DEATH OF COL. HAWKINS. The U. 8. transport "Senator" arrived at San Francisco, Tuesday evening, with the Tenth regiment, 832 officers and men, on board, but Col Hawkins was dead. He died two days out from Yokoha ma, of cancer of the stomach, and his body was embalmed and secured in a a sealed casket, and placed on the hur ricane deck, where it lay, guarded, dur ing the voyage. The rest of the regi ment were in good health. Col. Hawkins was taken sick during the Malolos campaign, and sank rapid ly, becoming a mere shadow of bis for mer self, but kept at the front until the campaign ended The regiment left Manila. July Ist; reached Yokohama July 16th, left there same day. and Col. Hawkins died on the 18th. The Tenth regiment left Pittsburg for the Philippines about a year ago with 850 men, twenty-fonr of whom have been killed in battle or died in the Manila hospital. The Reception Committee from Pitts burg was expected to arrive in San Francisco yesterday, when arrange ments wonld be made for the transpor tation of the regiment across the conti nent. Mrs. Hawkins and her daughter were informed of the death of the Colonel. Tuesday. His two sons are in the Phil ippines with other regiments and did not know of their fathers death. The Tenth will be held at Frisco three weeks before being mustered out HAJIBIBBUHG. On Tuesday Attorney General Elkin E'ed the petition of the Municipal e of Philadelphia that a suggestion id in the Dauphin county conrt for a wntof mandamus against Secretary of the Commonwealth Griest to compel the publication of certain proposed amendments to the Constitution passed at the recent session of the legislature and vetoed by Gov. Stone. Mr. Elkin rendered a long opinion, giv ing his reasons for allowing the sugges tion. After citing the fact that Govs. Ritner, Bigler. Geary. Hartranft, and Pattison had exercised the right to ap prove or veto resolutions to amend the Constitution and much other matter bearing on the subject the attorney gen eral says: "From all the precedents and anthori ties herein before referred to it clearly appears that there is a diversity ot opin ion and practice on this question. This being the case it is only proper rhat it should be finally determined in the courts, and for this purpose the at torney general is entirely willing that a proper proceeding shall be instituted." Another ltallroiul. (From the Beaver Times of last week) It now seems to be an assured fact that within the next six or eight months Rochester will become the southern terminal of a new railroad which will extend In a north easterly direction, and connect with the Pitts burg St Western Railroad at Callery Junction, a distance of about sixteen miles. The new railroad company was incor porated more than a year ago under the name of the Ohio River Junction Rail road Company. But it has never been believed by the public in general that anydeflnite steps toward the building of a railroad oyer the proposed route, would ever be taken by this company, but that they had only secured the right of way for the purpose of speculat ing. A preliminary survey of the proposed route was made soon after the company had secured its charter, by a corps of men under Engineer Jan. P. Leaf, of Rochester. That finished, no important action on the part of the company, has been discernable until within the last few months, during which a final survey of the route has been in progress under Engineer Leaf. A gentleman prominently connected with the company, and who is. there fore. in a position to know whereof he •peaks, stated to a Times reporter to day that the new railroad was an assur ed fact. He t>aid that the final survey would be completed sometime next week, and that the road would be built during the coming fall and winter. The gentleman gave a general outline of the route. It will run trom Roches ter to Crows Run, at a point near the Ohio river, up tbe run to its head, across to connect with tbe P. & W This road when completed, will be of Inestimable value to tne business and commercial interests of Rochester, greatly Increasing her imjwrtanoe as a railroad centeT and shipping point. It will give to the merchants and manu facta res of that locality a competing line west via tbe P. A W and east, via the Baltimore & Ohio. Its ultimate result will undoubtedly be a lower and more satisfactory freight rate than could ever be obtained so long as it remains a necessity for all •hipping to be done over roads under tbe control of ont company.

ELIHU ROOT was sworn in as Secre tary of War at Washington Tuesday Murder In Clarion County. Great excitement prevailed in the neighborhood of Elk City, Clarion Co., over the discovery that William Kiser, a wealthy bachelor had been murdered. The murder was committed for robbery. The news of the murder spread throughout Clarion county, in which Riser was well known, and * search for the murderers was begun. Riser's body was found on Sunday by a party of berrypickers. The latter had gone to the woods to gather berries, and on their way home passed near Riser's house. As they did not see Riser about the place, and they had been told that he had not been seen since Friday night, and as the house showed no signs of life about it, they determined toinvestigate. They found that the door had l>een broken open and they entered the house. The scene that burst upan their eyes wasappalling Riser's body lay dead between the iron safe, in which he kept a large sum of money,and the bed on which he had been apparently lying when his assailants sought his life that they might ffet his money. The body was in a curled up position, and had been beaten black and blue, the head l»eing a mass of ents and contusions. Riser had lieen bound and gagged. His feet and hands were tied with rope, and a piece of the bedclothes was bound across his mouth to prevent him making an outcry. A piece of cloth was bound tightly around his throat, showing that strangulation was resorted to in addition to the powerful blows of his assailants to accomplish their object He inus'i have had a fearful struggle for his life before he was overcome, handi capped as he was, for his shirt was torn from his body. It is presumed that Riser's murderers gained entrance to the house late Friday night, by breaking in the door with a fence rail. He was last seen early Friday evening at church. It is presumed that the robbers first bound Riser and then ordered him to open the safe, which they must have known contained much money He refused to give up his wealth, and then they assaulted him in the hope that blows and slow strangulation would drive him to open the safe door Riser still resisting, they either killed him outright or left hiin to die of his wounds. The safe had not been opened. It is supposed that they feared that they had been discovered in their work and left the house without breaking into the safe. Their flight was hurried, for they stole a ng and team of horses from the barn of Jacob Yonkers to aid them in getting away. There is no definite clue to the mnr derers, though three ex-convicts are un der suspicition. Riser is said to have had SI,OOO in gold in the wife. Riser s relatives have offered SI,OOO reward for the captnreof the murderers The county commissioners will offer a reward for the same object. Riser had been left some money by his father and he had added to it by the sale of some valuable timber land and from the sale of timber taken from other portions of Riser's estate. He had also made considerable money from oil wells aud from oil leases He was con sideied eccentric- Riser was bnrned and otherwise tor tured before being killed. One of the stolen horses has been found several miles north of the scene. The fnnvral was a sad event and at tracted a great concourse of people to the home of George Riser, the eldest brother of the dead nan, about 200 yards from the place where William, or "Bill" as he was known to every one lived his lonely life and met his tragic death. Just where the narrow gauge track of the Pittsburg & Western rail road rises to the crest of a divide and then starts down grade toward < Marion the farms of the Risers adjoin "Bill's house is on the rlicht of the railroad. Sunday morning about 10 o'clock E. M. Riser, cousin of "Bill," went to the bachelor's home and looked in. Win. had not been seen since late Friday night when he returned from a bush i meeting, or saints' meeting, as it is call ed here His cousin was so horrified by • what he saw that he ran away, calling for help.
