PROPOSES PEACE
HIS NOTE TO THE POWERS
IS SENT OUT THROUGH THE SEC
RETARY OF STATE.
President Roosevelt Makes Goad His
Promise to Appear in the Role of
the Peacemaker—Note Contem
plates the Reassembling of the
Peace Conference at The HaKiir.
How He Excuses the Call During'
Ti ill e of \Vn r.
Washington, Oct. 30. —In a circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out
the President's instructions relative to
proposing a second Hague conven
tion.
The note contemplates the reassem
bling of The Hague conference for
the consideration of questions specifi
cally mentioned by the original con
ference, as demanding further atten
tion, such as the rights and duties of
neutrals; the inviolability of private
property in naval warfare and the
bombardment of ports by naval force,
but goes further by practically indors
ing the project of a general system of
arbitration treaties and the establish
ment of an international congress to
meet periodically in the interests of
peace.
The issue of the call while war is in
progress is justified by the fact that
the first Hague conference was called
before our treaty of peace with Spain
was concluded.
An Enoch in History.
Mr. Hay's letter says that The
Hague conference of 1899 marked an
epoch In tho history of nations, and
that a great work was accomplished,
although certain phases of the general
subject were left for a future confer
ence. The letter ascribes to the inter
parliamentary Union considerable
credit for preparing the nations for
•the conference and sjtys that this
union at St. Louis recently requested
the President to call a second confer
ence at The Hague. It adds:
"In accepting this trust the Presi
dent was not unmindful of the fact,
so vividly brought home to all the
world, that a great war is now' in pro
gress. He recalled the circumstances
that at the time when, on Aug. 24.
1898. his majesty, the Emperor of
Russia, sent forth his Invitation to the
nations to meet in the interests of
peace, the United States and Spain
had merely halted in their struggle, to
devise terms of peace. While at the
present moment no armistice between
the parties now contending is In sight,
the fact of an existing war is no rea
son why the nations should relax the
efforts they have so successfully made
hitherto toward the adoption of rules
ot conduct which may make more re
mote the chances of future wars be
tween them.
"In 1899 the conference of The
Hague dealt solely with the larger
general problems which confront all
nations and assumed no funotion of
intervention or suggestion in the set
tlment of the terms of peace between
the United States and Spain. It
might be the same with a reassembled
conference at the present time. Its ef
forts would naturally lie in the direc
tion of further codification of the uni
versal ideas of right and justice whioh
me call international law; its mission
woulU be to give them future effect.
Present the Santgestioii.
"The President directs that you will
bring tire foreign consideration to the
attention of the minister for foreign af
fairs of the government to which you
are accredited and, in discreet con
ference with him, ascertain to what ex
tent that government is disposed to
act in the matter.
"Should his excellency invite sug
gestion as to the character of the ques
tions to be brought before the proposed
second peace conference, you may say
to him that, at this time, it would
seem premature to couote the tenta
tive invitation thus extended with a
categorical programme of subjects of
discussion. It-is only by comparison of
views that a general accord can be
reached as to the matters to be con
sidered by the new conferences. It is
desirable that in the formulation of a
programme the distinction should be
kept clear between the matters which
■belong to the province of international
law and those which are conventional
as between Individual governments.
"The final act of The Hague con
ference dated July 29, 1899, kept this
distinction clearly In sight. Among
the broader general questions affecting
ihe right and Justice of the relation of
sovereign states, which were then re
legated to a future conference, were:
The rights ajid duties of neutrals; the
inviolability of private property in
naval warfare; and the bombardment
of ports, towns and villages by a naval
force. The other matters mentioned In
the final act take the form of sug
gestions for consideration by Interested
governments.
Kilil and Unties of Central*.
"The three points mentioned cover a
large field. The first especially,
touching the rights and duties of
neutrals. Is of universal importance.
Its rightful disposition affects the in
terests and well being of all the world.
The neutral Is something more than
H.ii onlooker. His acts of omission
r commission may have an influence
k-Indirect, but tangible—on a war ac
■iislly in progress: whilst, on the other
■land, he may suffer from the exigen
cies of the belligerents. It is this
Chase of warfare which deeply con
cerns the world at large.
I "Other matters closely affecting the
eights of neutrals The distinction
■o be made between absolute and con
■ itional contraband of war, and the
civlolabillty of the official and private
Correspondence of neutrals. f
II "As for the duties of neufiii.s to-
Bard the belligerent, the field is
Barcely less broad. One aspect de-
Btves mention, from the prominence
■ has acquired during recent times.
Bubely, the treatment due to refugee
Bliigerent ships in neutral porta.
B it may aWo be desirable to conaider
Bid adopt a procedure by which
Bates non-signatory to the original
of The Hague conference may
Bcorne adhering parties."

JAPANESE MINISTER
HAS APPENDICITIS.
An Operation Wn# Performed Upon
Him In New York. '
New York, Oct. 30.—An operation
for appendicitis was performed on
Japanese Minister Kogoro Takahira in
a hotel in this city to-day.
The case is said to be a serious one,
and attaches of the Japanese legation
at Washington have been summoned
to the minister's bedside.
Mr. Takahira arrived .here from
Washington. Friday night and imme
diately after being assigned to a room
at the hotel complained of illness and
asked that a physician be sent . for.
The physician found the minister suf
fering much pain, hut remedies were
administered which eased his suffer
ings and allowed him to pass the re
mainder of the night comfortably. Sat
urday, however, the minister could re
tain no food, and this, with other
symptoms, caused the physician to
believe that the ease was one of ap
r p&idieitis, and fo-day. when It "was
positively disagnosed as such, an im
mediate operation was decided upon.
Sadazuchi TTchida. the Japanese
consul general at this port, said after
the operation:
"The minister rallied after the op
eration, and while his condition is far
from being good, it is favorable, and
there is every reason to hope that he
will pull through. The minister is r>2
years old‘and has a wife and three
children living in Toklo."

was three blocks long. The police es

the new tickets arrived.
