Pleas for Appearances AreNow Being Ignored.

NAVAL-PRIZE COURT BILGED

Disagreed on the Width of the

Blockading Zone.

SEVEN YEARS TO COGITATE

Several of the Powers Want Radical

Changes Made Before the Con¬

ference Meets Again.

Special Cablegram to The Stnr.THE HAGUE. September 16..The process

of formulating the rights of nations has ledto a diametrically opposite conclusion to

the French revolutionary dictum on the

rights of man. So far from admitting thatall men are equal, the conference Is havingto recognize that no two powers are equal.This vital distinction between the impor¬tance of votes given by the various countrieshas reduced the rule of the conference that

opinions should be counted, not weighed to

nullity. The powers are, now that the

meeting is approaching Its close, movingrapidly in the protection of national in¬terests and are largely ignoring pleas for

harmony for the sake of appearances.The naval prize court threatens to be left

a derelic t by this rapid development of theconcern 01 the delegates for their countries'interests. The commission which was en¬

gaged in framing a code which the courtshould apply, failed to get into agreementas to the amount of coal whljh a belliger¬ent shouid be allowed to load in a neutralport, and this week failed again on theproposition of naming the distance withinwhich blockaders can enforce their rightsagainst neutrals. A great majority of thesmaller powers wished the distance to be

a^ hundred miles or less as the limit, butEngland and Japan refused to assent toanything under Wjo miles, which means theright to search neutrals approaching ablockaded coast at a distance of two days'steaming of a lifteen-knot boat.

Glossed With Politeness.The failure to frame rules for guid¬

ing the prize court leaves the decision inactual cases to the untrammeled personalopinion of the international Judges, andhere again the English delegation refusesto support the scheme of giving carteblanche to the list of foreign Jurists selectedby chance to upset the decisions of hersupreme court. The same difficulty offraming rules has relegated the creation ofa permanent bench of arbitratlonal Judgesto the category of things for future discus¬sion between separate governments.

It is expected hare that the all-aroundfailure to reach an agreement on importantquestions will be glossed over by an ex¬pression of the hope on the part of theconference for wo k between now and thenext reunion seven years hence.Tills proposal can only take the form of

a pious aspiration, since tne question offuture meetings is not on the program ofthe conference. Several Important govern¬ments which have refused to instruct theirdelegations on the question have expressedthe intention of radically overhauling theinstitution before entering the conferenceagain.M. Bourgeois and Baron von Bieberstein

who are consulting their respective govern¬ments at Paris and Berlin, are expected toreturn in a few days with Instructions towind up the proceedings and disperse.

COMPROMISE FOR BELGIUM.

Retirement of Belgian DelegatteAverted at the Last Moment.

BRUSSELS, September 16..The retire¬ment of M. Beernaert (Belgium) from fur¬ther participation in the work of the peaceconference at The Hague has been avertedby a compromise effected at the last mo-

mept, by which the Belgian representativeis to be absolved from voting against theproprfsal for compulsory arbitration.Instructions sent Mr Beernaert by his gov¬

ernment to cast the vote of the Belgiandelegation against the arbitration proposalbrought out Immediately from Belgium'sfirst representative a notification of his In¬tention to resign from the delegation andthe statement that as a lifelong supporterof the cause of arbitration he unequivocallyrefused to vote against the measureThe resignation of M. Beernaert would

have meant the practical extinction of Bel¬gium as a factor in the conference, and soIn order to overcome this i .fflculty thegovernment has arranged that on the ques¬tion of arbitration M. van den Heuvel andHaron Gulllaume shall be considered Bel¬gium's sole representatives.In order that there be no misunderstand¬

ing In the futu-e regarding his attitude MBeernaert has insisted that mention of thisarrangement be made In the minutes of theconference, and this will be done

HEAD OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER.Father McCluskey Succeeds Father

Eearn, Who Goes to Boston.NEW YORK, September 16..The Rev.

Thomas J. McClusk*y, formerly professorof Eatln In Boston College, was installedyesterday as president of St. FrancisXavier's College In this city. The rector¬ship of the Church of St. Francis Xaviergoes with the presidency. Father McClus¬key succeeds the Rev. David W. Hearn.who has been president of the college forthe last seven years.The new president reached this city from

Woodstock, Md., yesterday morning. Therewas no formal ceremony connected withthe installation beyond the meeting of theold president with the new in the presenceof the faculty and the exchange of the in¬cumbency.President McCluskey is about fifty years

old. He is a graduate of Manhattan Col¬lege. After graduation he was for sometime an instructor in St. Joseph s Seminaryin Troy, and later was an assistant priestof St. Patricks Cathedral, New YorkAbout 1N.12 Father McCluskey became aJesuit, pursued further studies at Wood¬stock College and vas appointed an as¬sistant priest at St. Trancis Xavier's. Fouryears ago he received the Boston appoint¬ment.Father Hearn is to go to Boston, where

he will become vice president of the BostonCollege, a post he held before coming toNew York. Father Hearn has as yet re¬ceived no notification of his new appoint¬ment, and is going into retreat for twoweeks, by the expiration of which time heexpects to learn what plans have beenmade for him.The order making the transfer came from

the general of the Jesuit order, familiarlyknown as the black pope.

HE DECLARES FOR SWISHERGOVERNOR OF WEST VIRGINIA

SUGGESTS HIS SUCCESSOR.

Gathering of Politicians at Wheelingand the Developments Noted.

Probable Ticket.

Special Correspondence of Tlie Stnr.WHEELING, W. Va., September 15, 1007.With the state fair and home comers'

week Wheeling has been the mecca forseveral days for West Virginians interestedin polities. They came from points hundredsof miles away 4o get a Ilne-on the situation,which means the republican gul erna-torial nomination. Next to the state con¬vention itself next year it will probablynot be excelled by any subsequent periodas an occasion for hobnobbings and fixings.Meredith J. Simms came from Fayette

county, fully .100 miles distant, to help ontha Swisher governorship boom, and hebrought two othtr able politicians fromthe same section. Simms is president ofthe county court, which offire popularlycarries with It the title of judge in WestVirginia. Judge Simms had words ofpraise for Sam Dixon, the big boss of hissection, of whose kingdom Fayette Is onlya part, and the fact that Dixon and Simmsare for Swisher means a goodly bunch ofSwisher delegates to begin with.Just to see the golden pumpkins and the

red lemonade came also Col. Robert Stall¬ing* from Tucker county, easily 2(M> milesaway, and bringing with him his boom forattorney general. W. G. Conley of Prestoncounty, of tihe same congressional district,and who also has figured on the same officewith fair reasons for satisfaction, wasalso here.

Gov. Dawson for Swisher.Fresh from a Colorado jaunt cam:1 Gov.

Dawson and Secretary of State Swisher,and the governor for the first time madeit plain and final that Swisher is his choiceto succeed him, all of which informationsatisfied considerable yearning on the partof the populace as to that point. AuditorScherr, who is Swisher's active opponent,was early on the ground, and !n the midstof the Swisher and Scherr activities Wil¬liam H. Hearne of Wheeling officially andformally let loose his boom, thus making atrio of candidate, for the executive chair.Judge Marmaduke H. Willis of Dod¬

dridge. with an eye to elevation from thecircuit bench to succeed Judge McWhorteron the supreme bench; Senator John W.Santee of Wetzel, who wants to be super¬intendent of state schools; John ShermanDarts, with a dream of the auditorship; C.L. Topping of Charleston, who fs puttingup a whirlwind chase for secretary ofstate.these and other luminaries of moreor less effulgence buzzed around Indus¬triously.Early in the February preceding the 1WH

convention, which was held here in July,the situation had defined itself sufficientlyto your correspondent to predict the com¬position of the state ticket from top tobottom, aside from the state school super-lntendency, which was not attempted. The,winter gathering was a clear Index of theprobable outcome six months later, andthe prediction was verified to the letter.

May Read This Way.Ten months in advance of the 1»>8 conven¬

tion does not furnish a sufficiently clarifiedatmosphere, but the present outlook, sub¬ject to modifications, of course, in the verynear future, suggests a surmise that theticket will read this way:Governor.Charles W. Swisher of Marlon.Secretary of state.C. L. Topping of Ka¬

nawhaAuditor.J. S. Darst of Jackson.Attorney general.\V. G. Conley of Pres¬

ton.Treasurer.Newton Ogdin of Pleasants.'.he other place on the ticket, the school

superlntendency, regarded often as a con¬solation stakes or geographical considera¬tion. has only one avowed candidate so far-Senator S;»ntee.but W. It. Corby of Roane,who tried once before: M. P. Shawkey ofKanawha and some others may pop uplater.Stuart F. Reed of Harrison, first boomed

for treasurer, is going to shift to secretaryof state, so that Treasurer Ogdln's onlyother suggested opponent to date is JohnDininger of Ritchie. But, as in the case ofthe other offices, mora candidates may de¬velop as time rolls on, for the game is stillyoung.All of the state officers, except the secre¬

tary of state, comprise the board of publicworks, and the light will have that featureIn view, because upon control of that bodyrests the future of the tax-reform move¬ment. Gov. Dawson wants a governor anda board Ui sympathy with the policies hehas pursued, and he stands with Swisherbecause Swisher has been loyal to him, al¬though differing from him at times as to theattitude toward certain taxable Interestsand methods of taxation. The governor Isthought to regard Scherr's attitude as ofboth a doubtful and negative character onthe paramount questions on which the re¬publican party made its fight three yearsago and the administration's subsequentpolicies

Real Test to Come.It remains to be seen whether the Daw-

son-SwishCr organization Is all-powerful.Nobody now demands the repeal of the new

tax laws, so that bitterly contested IssueIs a thing of the past, but the people will beasked to choose between candidates In fullsympathy with the tax movement and thosewhose affiliations suggest the contrary.The Dawson indorsement of Swisher wilj

be an Influential lever, since it will be sup¬plemented by indorsement from ex-Gov.White and District Attorney Elliott North-cott. The latter had been the sentimentalchoice for governor until he vetoed It InSwisher's behalf.Aside from his announcement. Candidate

Hearne has not Interested himself In aneffort to effect an organization. He hasreasons for being confident of the supportof his own Immediate section, and may-later get busy In the other sections. In this,respect Swisher and Scherr have the ad¬vantage of extended and familiar acquaint¬ance among the workers. Hearhe Is en¬dowed with much persistency, which, ifcalled into play, will make his position growwhere now It is without root.

VETERANS FAVOR CANTEENBOTH G. A. B. AND SPANISH WAR

MEN.

Congress to Be Urged to Bepeal thePresent Law Against Post

Exchanges.

Echoes from the recent national encamp¬ment of the Grand Army of the Republicat Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and that of theUnited Spanish War Veterans at CedarPoint, near Sandusky, Ohio, were broughthere by the Washington delegates.The proposed restoration of the army

canteen was taken up by both asso¬ciations. It is said a resolution was givenfavorable consideration by the commltteaon resolutions of the G. A. R., but the mat¬ter did not come to a vote in the encamp¬ment because of lack of time. A canvasswas made of the civil war veterans atSaratoga Springs, and it was estimatedthat nearly two-thirds of those who attend¬ed the encampment favored the repeal ofthe anti-canteen law by Congress. The can¬vass was made by members of the Wom¬an s Army Canteen Temperance ciubs. *

The Spanish War Veterans at CedarPoint were instructed to communicate withtheir senators and representatives with theview of having them vote for the repeal ofthe law which abolished the canteen orpost exchange in the army and militaryposts. It is the expectation that PresidentRoosevelt may recommend the repeal of thelaw in his annual message to Congress.Many former sold.ers will, it is said, re¬quest him to do so.The headquarters of the Department of thePotomac, G. A. R.. at Saratoga Springs,were In the noted United States Hotel, an.lwere In charge of Commander Newton Fer-ree and his staff officers and the delegates.The rooms were provided wiih every con¬venience, and were handsomely decoratedwith nags, banners and flowers. In theseapartments many notable receptions wereheld and distinguished former soldiers en¬tertained by the District of Columbia vet¬erans.

Disappointed by Tanner.The Washington contingent put forward

the name of Post Department CommanderRoyce, who served as commanding officerof the Department of the Potomac in 1882,for the honor of national junior vice com¬mander-in-chief, and, it is said, had hopesof electing him. Past Commander-ln-ChierTanner, however, named William M. Scottof Atlanta, Ga., for the place, and he de¬feated the candidate of the District de¬partment, who is now a resident of Cali¬fornia. It was said to be the expectationof the District delegates that CorporalTanner wouK. stand by the local nominee,and his action in placing the Georgia manin nomination Is said to have caused consid¬erable criticism.The election of Walter Scott Hale,* ascommander-in-chief of the Spanish WarVeterans, is said to have been broughtabout by the votes of four men from thiscity and vicinity. These delegates were,as stated last night, Capt. J. E. Rittenhouseof Baltimore, Capt, Thomas Green of theAdmiral George Dewey Naval Camp ofthis city, Charles S. Piper of the A'dmiralThomas Colored Camp of South Washing¬ton, and Commander Brown of AlexandriaVa.Charles J. Harlow of this city, past se¬nior vice department commander, waselected a member of the council of admin¬istration of the Spanish War Veterans. Theonly national office given to the District

was that of historian, the present incum¬bent, Capt. Mitchell, being placed In nomi¬nation by Past Commander-in-Chief CharlesR. Miller of Oh:o, and his election wasmade unanimous by the acton of the dele¬gates from the states after the District del¬egates had left the convention hall to takethe steamer for Sandusky.

IK THE OLD DOMINIONRichmond in Throes of an Anti-

Saloon Fight.

AFTER MR. MAYNARD'S JOB

Gossip Over the Defeat of Machen forthe Senate.

MONTAGUE FOR CONGRESS

Democrats Planning Big Time for

Bryan's Visit to the State CapitalOctober 12.Notes.

Special Correspondence of The Star.RICHMOND, Va., Septem-ber IB. 11)07.

No one can tell what will be the result ofthe saloon question In this city within thenext year. There is a proposition to re¬duce the number of saloons to 100. and tomake the license $1,000. There Is a coun¬ter proposition to make the number luO,rnd to make the license $500. The advo¬cates of the two propositions are far apart,and there is little likelihood that they canreach an agreement which will be acceptedby both. The people behind the high-licensescheme are firm in their determination toreduce the number of saloons and to In¬crease the licenses, while the opponentsare equally as fixed in tljgir position.Jacob Umlauf. who is leading the anti-

saloon fight, tays he will not agree to anyreduction in the license tax, and he hasannounced that before he will do so hewill force the issue and have a local op¬tion contest in this city. There is scarcelya doubt as to what would be the outcomeif there is an election. The present elec¬torate Is vastly different from that whichhas heretofore passed on the issue in anycity of consequence In Virginia. The ele¬ment which was known to be In favor of"liberty," and the exercise of the rights ofeach person, has been eliminated from poll-tics as completely as the negro has beencut off from the right of suffrage.Within the last year several of the

smaller cities of the state have voted onthe question of prohibition, and with butone exception they have voted the saloonout. Richmond will do the same thing Ifthe fight Is forced. The conservative ele¬ment realizes that a contest at this timemeans that the liquor men will lose, andthat this city will be "dry" for at leasttwo years. Where there were formerly21,000 votes in this city, the poll books to¬day disclose the fact that there are lessthan 7.000 who are qnalified, and in orderto qualify they would have to pay theirtaxes at least six months before the elec¬tion.The prohibitionists have, as a rule, paid

up and are ready to meet the isoi»e at anytime. The saloon men are disturbed at theoutlook. There are more than 300 saloonsin this city at this time, and one of theschemes will fix the locations of the 1O0that are provided for in the plan now pend¬ing In the council.

Sale to Oppose Maynard.The result of the election in the city of

Norfolk, when members of the general as¬

sembly were named by the democrats, hasrevived the question of opposition to Rep¬resentative Harry Maynard. Mr. Maynardwas nominated last year by a very narrow

margin, his opponent being Col. George C.Cabell of the city of Norfo'.k. Col. W. W.Sale was nominated to succeed himself inthe state senate, and ft is said that he andhis friends have expressed a purpose tohave him oppose Mr. Maynard at the nextelection. Col. Sale has already served twoterms in the state senate, each time de¬feating his opponent by a good vote. Hetias been a valuable member of that body,has served on Important committees andhas made many friends.The labor element stand by him to a man

for his course toward the interest of the:oilers. He is a strict party man and loyal:o his friends. It is claimed that the lead¬ing city in the district is entitled to therepresentative in Congress at least a part>f the time, especially when it furnishes thesulk of the vote.The defeat of Senator Lewis H. Machen

>f the Alexandria district for the senatorialnomination, revives the question of the so-called unwritten law. Senator Machen an¬nounced soon after the famous Strother-Bywaters tragedy that he would, in eventhe was returned to the senate, undertake tonave the idea of the so-called law engraftedin the statutes of the state. It was be-ieved that his Idea for this was to relieveluri'es of any question of conflict In theirnlnds between what they should do andjvhat the law required of them. The ques-ion was discussed at some length in thepapers, many lawyers antagonising the po-iltlon and suggestion of Senator Machen.There Is a question If this entered into

:he campaign. It is believed here that theircuit judgeship was of more i'mportanca:han any other subject In the primary, and:he fact that the people wanted Judge J. B.T. Thornton of Prince William retained Isrelieved to have had much to do with, theJefeat of the Alexandria man. Then, too,:here has been a new alignment of forces in.lie district lately. Senator Machen is gen->rally recognized as belonging to the Mon-ague faction.

Taxing the Corporations.The state corporation commissi >n Is wres¬

tling with the public service corporations atthis time, the question being the assess¬ment of the corporations for taxes. Thecorporations are confronted with a ratherembarrassing situation, especially the rail¬roads. When the question of fixing thepassenger and freight rates was beingirgued before the commission by the roadshe capitalization, the bonded debt and th»enormous value of the physical properties>f the carriers were dwelt upon at length.Vow that the same properties are up fortaxation the Idea is to make the propertyippear as valueless as possible. The com¬mission has the figures of the carriers, and:he first figures are being used to answerthe figures submitted at tills time. The.ailroads are assessed very low In the state;.nuch leas than they are really worth. Its expected that the railroads will find that:hey are to pay a bit more this year thanhey have paid in the past.Once more the Confederate veterans ofhe state are coming to the front, and thisime It is tlie women that are engaging at-ention. For some t'me tlier.? has been inprocess of formation and training a choir.omposed of young ladies, daughters andgranddaughters of veterans, vtiio have or¬

ganized a choir and wlio will sing war-lme songs at the Confederate r union to>e held In the city of Norfolk, October 10.The veterans of Pickett Camp are ldentl-

led with tiiis scheme, and there are otheramps In the state which have Indorsed thenove. x

But R. E. Lee Camp, No. 1, thisity. lias come down squarely In oppositiono the id.'a, tills Initiative having beenaken by the Woman's Auxiliary, under theead of Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, whoakes tiie stand that the suggestion ofvomen in uniform Is repugnant to them,tnd that It Is merely paving the way fornore titles, and that the fever wil extendo the woman folk, some of whom will beaptains and majors and generals and theike. All the same, Pickett Camp Conled-rate Choir of 100 voices will sing the old-ime songs to the veterans at the Norfolk;rand camp, Lee CaniD to the contrary nit-vithstanding.

WERE ROOSEVELT'S COCKTAILS?

Bishop Says President Ordered Drlnkpfor Vice President.

DETROIT, September IB.That Presi¬dent Roosevelt himself asked for the cock¬tails served at Vice President Fairbanks'dinner at Indianapolis which got the Vlc«President into trouble with his Methodistbrethren is the story told by Bishop Jo¬seph F. Berry on the authority of In¬dianapolis churchmen.

"There probably is no doubt that liquorof some sort appeared on the Vice Presi¬dent's table when he entertained PresidentRoosevelt in Indianapolis," said the bishopyesterday, "but as it is told to me the VicePresident did not order the drinks and didnot even know they were served. Mr.Fairbanks never touches a drop of anyintoxicant himself, but it is well knownthat President Roosevelt likes a drink nowand then."When he came to Indianapolis th«

word went from the President to thecaterer, either directly or through his sec¬retary, that he wanted the drinks, an/1the drinks were served. The arrange¬ments were entirely in the hands of thecaterer, and it is credible that Mr. Fair¬banks did not even notice that they wereon the table.

"Saturday I had my first opportunityreally to meet the Vice President. I badbeen casually Introduced to hlni before,but I never was at a place w'lere I lialthe opportunity of visiting with him andtaking his measure. He certainly busbeen maligned when they say that he isIcy. He mixed with the people in themost democratic manner."He is a thoroughly clean man. and one

of whom the denomination may well beproud. His church associates in Indianap¬olis are talking of him as a lay delegateto the general conference at Baltimore,and the so-called 'cocktail' incident Is be¬ing used very much against him by a cer¬tain element."

DROWNED BRIDE .¦%. RUNAWAY.

Mrs. John Crost Was MisB MarguerltaFitzgerald.

NEW YORK, September 111..The jounftgirl known as Mrs. John Crost, who wasdrowned Tuesday night from W. D. Ben¬nett's yacht in the Delaware river, was iden¬tified last night as Marguerita Fitzgerald of242 l_?nox avenue, this city. According to E.B. Walker, unc'.e of the girl, it seems thatshe met John Crost of Hertford, England,at a dinner In this city about five weeksago. He courted her without the knowledgeof her parents, and three weeks ago thepair went to Rhode Island and were mar¬

ried. At the time of her disappearance pnalarm was sent out by th police and noefforts were spared to find the girl, whohad failed to leave any word. After thedrowning Trost came to New York andtold Mr. Walker the entire story. Mr Crostsaid that while they wire sailing a squallcame up. and before Mrs. Crost couldget below the boom Jibed and swept herinto the water. The blow from the boomevidently stunned her. for she did notrise to the surface. Crost went In afterher, as did two of the crew, but no trace ofher body was found until last night, wheni! was washed ashore near the scene of theaccident.Mrs. Fitzgerald is said to be seriously III,

suffering from nervous shock due to h» rdaughter's disappearance. She was notnotified last night of the girl's d.ath.
