THE WAR LORD 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." Yellow Pcrer In Mesleo. Oct.

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.

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.
