CZAR WORKS TO
PROMOTE PEACE
URGES HOLDING OF ANOTHER
PEACE CONFERENCE'/
GREAT SECRECY MAINTAINED
Russia Reported to Have Arrived at a
Complete Understanding With
President Roosevelt, Who
Sympathizes
By Associated Press. ,' . ': • "?.«
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 18.—Em
peror Nicholas today again appears be
fore the world as a promoter of uni
versal peace. Even before the peace
treaty has ' been ratified his majesty
Issues invitations to a second con
ference at The Hague. .
That the emperor has done so was
learned today from a source which
leaves no doubt as to its authenticity.
It is announced that the Russian gov
ernment purposes to address all the for
eign powers with a view to the holding
of a second conference at The Hague,
but it is known that negotiations pre
ceding this announcement that the
government purposed to address the
powers were entered Into, especially
with the United States, and were con
ducted with the greatest secrecy, there
being not the slightest inkling that
Russia contemplated anything of the
kind.
The news created the greatest sur
prise here, and that Russia should plan
a second conference despite the steps
already taken by President Roosevelt
was also heard with amazement. It is
clear that the step could not have been
taken by Russia without a .complete
understanding with the president hav
ing been reached. The fact that the
president is reported as being entirely
in sympathy with the proposal and that
he is said to believe that to the Initiator
of the first Hague conference should
belong the honor of convoking the sec
ond is clear proof that the conference
has been called ' and that President
Roosevelt has relinquished his part in
it to the emperor.,, . . !".'•'?•;., "
There is strong reason to believe that
Invitations have already been sent to
the powers, and possibly their answers
have been received. In this connection
an interesting question arises as to how
the invitation '.vas'sent to Japan, with
diplomatic relations Bevered, but the
Invitation may have been delayed until
such relations should have been re
sumed, or it may have been forwarded
through the United States.
It was impossible to learn tonight the
proposed date of the second conference
or to gain even an approximate idea re
garding it, but probably it will not be
greatly delayed. Russia, as the power
convoking the conference, will probably
submit an official program, the other
powers submitting suggestions;
shipping property along the levee is
still in danger. The river stage this
forenoon had reached 23.07 feet, a sud
den rise of 10.05 feet in 24 hours. The
danger line is 35 feet.
Produce houses and grain and cotton
firms having consignments stored along
the levee hastily organized gangs of
laborers and endeavored to save their
property from being swept away, but
fie suddenness of the freshet inter
fered to a considerable extent. Thou
sands of barrels, of apples, bales of
hay, sacks of grain, bales of cotton and
in one instance 75,000 feet of lumber
were swept away. Men worked breast
deep. In the flood, intercepting floating
merchandise, and j> fleet of skiffs
manned by men with boat hooks as
sisted in the salvage work. ,oVv.'V j
Six city garbage boats moored along
the river front are in danger of being
swamped. ■;
This marks the quickest rise In the
river's stage since that of eleven years
ago, when the river rose fourteen feet
in one night.

Friendly Relations'
By Associated Press. *
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 18.— The
steady progress of work on the new
fortifications on the Bosphorus Is
causing friction between the Russians
and the Porte. The fortifications were
hastily commenced at the time of the
mutiny on the Russian .battleship
Kniaz Potemklne, Turkey seizing upon
this pretext as a means of carrying out
a scheme of fortifications which sh<»
had. long desired, but which had al
ways been opposed by Russia. It is
understood that the question was dis
cussed at the recent audience which
the Russian ambassador, M. Zinovieff,
had with the sultan, the ambassador
pointing out that the further fortifica
tion of the straits was incompatible
with friendly relations between Turkey
and Russia. Meanwhile the works are
being actively pushed, though they can
hardly be completed for several
months.
The porte continues its irreconcilable
attitude regarding the proposed , Inter
national financial control of Macedonia.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.— Attacking as

counsel for the Chicago packers, ac

of conspiring in restraint of trade, made
answer to the charges at a late hour

CHICAGO, Sept 18.— With a black
flag flying from Its masthead and its
occupants armed, a sailing craft ap
peared off the foot of Thirty-third
street yesterday and after a battle
with members of the Douglas Yacht
club, in which the latter were forced
t> appeal to the police, weighed anchor
and disappeared in the direction of
South Chicago.
The appearance of the "Pirate" ship,
the police say, was seen by scores
of persons on the shore and from
windows in a number of houses. The
vessel dropped anchor less tha,n a half
mile out in the lake and its sailors
clambored over the sides into the yawl
and were rowed to the small building
of the yacht club.
Carrying rifles and other weapons,
the invaders gave chase to those sit
ting on the porch of the building and
pursued them for : some distance.
Blows were exchanged and hand-to
hand struggles were engaged in, but
the persons who comprised the small
party at the boathouse were routed
and telephoned to the police.
As the first of the policemen ap
peared the "pirates" hurried to where
their yawl was, rowed back to their
yacht and . sailed away.
The police believe that the "pirates"
are youthful burglars who live in the
district south of Hyde park and who
long have been wanted for a series of
robberies.

EDINBURGH, Sept. 18.— The greatest
muster of Scotland under arms since
the battle of Flodden • Field was re
viewed by King Edward here today.
The king arrived at the Scottish capital
this morning and proceeded to Holy
wood palace, whence, attended by the
duke of Connaught and a brilliant staff,
he rode to the parade ground in King's
park, where nearly 40,000 Scotch volun
teers marched past his majesty. En
ormous numbers of visitors from all
parts of Scotland and the north of
England witnessed the review, which
is expected to assist in counteracting
the extreme Irritation felt in volunteer
circles over recent worrying regula
tions of the war office.
During the march Sir Thomas Lipton,
who is honorary colonel of the Second
Lancashire engineers, was leading his
regiment past the king when his horse
threw him, and Sir Thomas was kicked
in the face. Sir Thomas' injuries con
sisted of a cut mouth and bruised
shoulder. He was unseated owing to a
sudden swerve of his horse, although ha
is a good rider. The king sent an
equerry to Sir Thomas' hotel to inquire
as to his condition. ,
