The Hague, June 18.—When the eec- end session of the eecond Hague peace conference la held tomorrow (he com mittees that will direct the work of the conference will be appointed. So far only four commltteea have been de cided upon. These will have charge, respectively, of the questions of ar bitration, war, the Geneva convention and neutrality. It Is possible that other committee! will be appointed, but If they are It probably will be at later sessions. There Is a feeling among some of the delegates who favor much stronger action than is included ln the official program that it may perhaps be best at this conference to introduce as few questions as possible which are liable to create friction, so that the way may be left open for a provision which will have the next conference called by representatives of all the powers in stead of leaving, through courtesy, the Initiative to a non-progressive country like Russia. It Is held even by those who have been hopeful of a much greater prog ress than .now seems probable that ln the long run greater things can be ac- . compllshed if the program laid down by Russia is followed and these other questions eliminated entirely, provided through this course It becomes possible to broaden the scope of future con grosses.

By a decision of the delegates the protest against Triana remaining ln his Mat will be referred to the deputies of the government to be dealt with.
