THE LACK OF PREPARATION. A Foreign Delegate Declares This Wss Particularly Striking In the Case of the American Delegation Was Not In Accord With Latin-American Countries. The Haguo (By Cable). After having been in session over three months, and with adjournment prob ably a month In the distance, it Is recognized generally, and even by the most, optimistic In the peace movement, that the second interna tional peace conference has been and will be at Its conclusion barren of results leading to permanent meas ures of benefit to the peace of the world. Mr. Choate. of the American dele gatlon. however, Is still optimistic regatding the results, even on the great questions, and especially that of a permanent court of arbitration being satisfied that the principle Is admitted. He thinks that once the conference has concluded Its session it will be an easy matter to over come the prejudices concerning the allotment of judges, and that there after the establishment of the court will be an easy task. The general oplnbjn among the other delegates, however, differs from that of Mr. Choate. They believe that the adoption of Sir Kdward Fry's proposal entrust ing the governments with the task of finding a system by which to elect the judges was a masked method for burying the whole affair, as they de clare, once the conference is ended the governments will not study the question of judges to a greater ex tent than other questions at Issue, such as the limitation of armaments No Date For Another. Even the proposition for a future meeting of the conference, which was unanimously adopted on Satur day. has boen so altered as to suppress its most importaat part, namely, the periodicity of the meetings, merely providing for the calling of a third conference, but establishing nothing with regard to convening future con Terences. The prevailing opinion, as ex- agalnst every railroad In Mississippi pressed by one of the leading dele for Issuing passes contrary to law. i gates, is that the absence of results The enrollment of schoolchildren tn New York City is 637,387, an in crease of 20.000 over last year.

The possibility that Japan may have to annex Korea seems to have again arisen.

Eleven Killed mid Seven Fatally Hurt In Michigan Mine. Negnunee. Mich. (Special). By tho plunging of a cage 27.r feet down the shaft of the Jones & Laughlln Steel Company mine 1 1 men were killed and 7 fatally Injured. The cage was making Its first de scent for the day when the brake on the hoisting drum gave wny. Two other men sprang to the assistance of the one at the brake wheel, but their combined efforts did not avail and the wire cable continued to un reel from the drum like a weighted thread from a lubricated bobbin. The cage shot down 200 feet before a kink In the rushing cable caused It to part. Then the cage dropped to the bottom of the shaft, the safe ty catches falling to operate. The surging of the cable In Its mad flight tore out part of the side of the en gine house and ripped out several sheaves about the shafthouse. Workmen at the bottom of the mine Immediately set about remov ing the dead. The fall had hurled the bodies topther and they lay In one mass, from which seven still breathing were taken. Thousands of persons soon congre gated about the mine shaft. In the crowd were wives and children of the 200 men employed In tho mine. Each thought that her loved one was In the cage. It was fully two .hours before the cable was adjusted so that the cage could be raised to the sur face and the dead turned over to feeling or diffidence on the part of ! relatives.

Rogers was heavily Inter ested In the Tidewater Railway pro ject. "According to the ftorleg previous ly circulated, upwards of 40 per cent, of Mr. Rogers' fortune has been Involved in the Tidewater Invest ment. It was reported that the per sonal obligation Incurred amounted to $40,000,000. It can be stated positively that the sum Is much larg er than the amount named; also, that the situation has been entirely clear ed up. "In order to meet the demands made upon him In connection with the construction of the railroad Mr. Rogers was forced to dispose of a large amount of Investment stock at a sacrifice. All during the recent de cline In prices the vice president of the Standard Oil Company sold gilt edged stocks, such as Standard Oil, Consolidated Gas, Union Pacific and St. Paul. "Some five or six years ago, against the advice of his friends. Mr. Rogers started to build In West Vir ginia a low-grade road which would parallel the Norfolk and Western. His object was to carry coal and lum ber to tidewater. The line was to be 443 miles long. Only 125 miles have been completed. "Only a few months ago. In order to raise $10,000,000 for the Tide water road, H. H. Rogers issued his personal notes, secured by $20,000, 000 first mortgage bonds, $10,000, 000 stock and $10,000,000 dividend or Interest paflng collateral. These 6 per cent, notes were indorsed by H. H. Rogers personally. "Railway officials who have watch ed the construction of the road with Intense Interest from the beginning, say that the project, even at this stage. Is more or less problematic. It is confidently believed, however, that with the sacrifices already made In disposing of high-priced securities Rogers Is In a position to gain his end and see the mileage completed.
