The Prominent Position Oc cupied by the American Delegates. If They laUed They Would Inform the World Why, and Place Re sponsibility Where it Belongs. The Hagrue, June 10. The real work of the peace conference iu now almost at a- crisis and the Kiifficufties of the task stow greater daily. The approval 'of the concrete details of each proposal prove a- different thing: than the ap proval of the principle. Thre weeks more will be required before Ihe dele grates are able to agree on any definite echeroe. The American delegates were regarded at first in some quarters as almost interlopers, having no place In the discussion of a situation which the old world powers considered strictlv" European. This idea disappeared! al most at the outset whenftie American delegates said in effect that they had come to do business an.d not for diplo macy, and wished to' discuss in a straightforward manner-, the subject contained in the czar's rescript, with the sincere purpose of reaching a prac tical result. They added: "If we fall to aec6ftrphSthe object, we propose to inform the world why we failed;, arM to place the responsibility where it be longs." This -was new diplomacy with a vengeance, and it is not exaggera tion to say that it changed the whole situation at The Hague. It won for the Americans confidence in their good faith and common sense, which per haps none others enjoy. GOV. JONES ENDORSES ANTI TRUST CONFERENCE Hopes for a Large Attendance and Definite Action. Austin, Tex., June 10. Governor Jones, of Arkansas, in a letter to Gov ernor Sayers, received today, 'gives his hearty endorsement to the proposed conference of governors and attorney generals to be -held in St. Louis Sep tember 20 to consider the anti-trust legislation. He urges that a large num ber of states add (territories be repre sented, and some plan adopted that will effectually destroy the trusts. USE HARVEYIZED ARMOR. Washington, June 10. Secretary Long has passed upon the armor bid3 submitted recently, deciding to pur chase a small quantity of armor and let the next congress decide what shall be done toward' securing the remainder needed for the armored ships already authorized. The bureau chiefs have re ported that Harveyized armor would answer the requirements for the armor of the four monitors to be built, and also for the diagonal tflates for the bat tleships Maine, Missouri, and Ohio, now under construction. These diag onal plates are wrought into the ships at a comparatively early period of the construction, and! the secretary's deci sion will go far toward preventing the delay that would ensue had it been de cided to purchase no armor. Secretary Long yesterday issued the circular prepared by the board of na val bureau chiefs, giving the charac teristics' of the six cruisers authorized by the last naval appropriation bill. These ships will be valuable acquisi tions to the navy, being (small, swift, unarmored eraftr a little larger than the cruiser RaJleigh. The essential fea tures are: . -j Length on water line, 292 feet; breadth, 43 feet; 1 trial displacement, 3,100 tons; greatest draft, 16 feet inches; total coal bunker capacity, 700 tons; ' speed "on" trial j not less than 16 1-2 knots. . - - It cures all headadhies BaMwUn's Head' ache cure, 25c.

All the available police and troops from Paris will line the route from Long Champs and will fill all points of vantage around the track itself.

The rea of the Deluge Covered Fully Two Thousand Miles Search ing Parties Out. Austin, Tex., June 10. The waters of the Colorado river are jjlowly. receding but reports received here this evening say the late heavy rains have caused another big rise' along the upper course. Unless considerably augment ed it is thought the effect-will only be slightly felt here and at points Jjelow. Although the crop losses in) the valleys of the Colorado tributaries are very heavy, they are small compared with the havoc between this city and its mouth. v The bottom 'lands of Wharton and other counties in the black belt are un der water and the losses are hundreds of thousands of dollars in each county. The flood isoo late to admit the re placing of the crops in the country be low here. -Planters and employes had ample warning of the flood and saved most of their movable property in its prospec tive path.- The flood caffic suddenly 0iv the people on the upper course ancj. nothing in the bottoms was saved. There were innumerable cases of men, womefn and children taking refuge in tree tops, from which they were re cued by citizens of San Saba and Men ardsville. Many heroic deeds were per formed. Now that the waters of the upper Colorado tributaries are receding, searching parities are enabled to visit the distant valley farm homes. In a, number of cases they arrived only in time to save the perishing families. Latest advices from Menardsvllle say that about fifteen houses and . resi dences were swept away and two cases of drowning occurred. No news ha been received' from the numerous small settlements situated directly in the valleys of the Colorado, San Saba and other tributary streams. Lake McLonald, which is formed by the great dam, is slowly getting back to the normal water level. Its shores are piled high with trunks of trees, cotton gin machinery, dead live stock of all kinds and wrecks of houses. It is computed that the number of miles covered by the flood was fully two thousand. HECR3 MUTE ATTACKS A LITTLE WHITE GIRL Was Soon Caught Mob Formed and Is After Him. Chattanooga, Tonn., Juno 10.
