New Yoiiii, f , J. With tlie ex
ception of. Germany, all of llie great
powers of tlie world have agreed to par
ticipate in the International disarmament
conference suggested by the Czar Of
Russia. Considerable interest eiists in
diplomatic circles as to the answer
the German Emperor will make
to the Czar's proposition! Should Em
peror 'William finally determine that the
uterests of Germany were against en
tering into such a conference, the whole
an would undoubtedly fall through.
The State Department is taking great
interest in the proposed conference, and
although the officials believe tlie plan is
chimerical, the Russian government has
been advised that the United States will
send a representative to take part. The
resident has not determiaed wboBhall
the representative, for the reason
that it is not definitely determiaed when
and where the conference shall take
place. So far Great Britain, Italy, France,
Spain, Austria and Japan, besides the
United States and several smaller pow.
era, have indicated their intention to be
represented at the proposed conference.
Everything, therefore, depends upon the
eply Germany will make to the Czar's
proposition whether , the conference will
beheld. :v
It is believed here that when the Czar
receives a reply from Germany, nd it
should be favorable, he will announce
the time and place of meeting, which will
probly be after the American and Span
