AGREFMENT TO ABOLISH WAR. Official Document Declares Various States Have Agreed to TJse All Resources to Maintain Peace. St. Petersburg, August 3 The ofHcial Messenger to day publishes a government communique, reviewing at length the result ot The Hague peace conference. After referring to the sympathetic reception the powers ao corded to the Czar's magnanimous appeal Tor peace, it proceeds: "The results of the conference have fully come up to the expectations of the government.

It has been found necessary for the conference to postpone a definite settlement of the complicated question of the suspension of armaments until fully elucidated by the different governments. Nevertheless, th lightening of military burdens is already admitted by unanimous resolution to be urgently desirable for all nations. On the other hand, the labors of the conference will doubtless exercise Influence in regulating the customs of war and stopping cruelties. "The various stateB have agreed usej all their resources in favor of thel lnte nance of peace and the abolition of war. It is now an established fact that mediation, which hitherto depended on the good will of the stateB Interested, can henceforth be offered by a third power on its own initiative." The communique concludes: "Without impairing the sovereign rights of the individual states, the results afford a fresh basis for international peace.

The necessity for a solution of the Czar's proposals Is admitted by all the powers and the march of events will indicate the means to be employed in securing the welfare of mankind and the full attainment of the objects in view."

Claims Thieves Took $19 and Assaulted Him Was Arrested on Charge of Intoxication. Albert Bleise, aged 48 years, a cook by occupation, was arraigned before Magistrate Bristow in the Adams street court this morning, on a charge of intoxication. When he was asked if he had been tipsy, he indignantly denied the impeachment, and, pointing to a wound on the back of his head, said that he had been beaten and robbed. He said that he had $19 in his pocket when he went into a saloon to get a glass of beer. Several men whom he met there professed great friendship for him and there were more than one glass as a consequence.

They persuaded him to go with them to another drinking place on Fulton street, near the bridge, he thinks it was, and, after he had been there but a few minutes, he became unconscious. He says that he was drugged. When he regained consciousness he found himself wandering on lower Fulton street, bleeding from a cut on the back of his head and very much dazed and dizzy. All of his money was gone. Bleise went down to the Fulton street station, with the intention of reporting the robbery to the police there, but he was handicapped by the fact that he could not speak English well, even at his mental best, and the sergeant at the desk made up his mind that Bleise was "pipey," as the police express it.

and locked him up, on a charge of intoxication. This morning Bleise could not describe the men who had assailed him, nor could he tell where the saloon was located. Magistrate BTennor discharged him, on the general principle that he had suffered enough by the beating and the loss of his money. The fact that only a few days ago Shelton L. Kent, a mining engineer, was robbed and beaten by men whom he met in the same neighborhood, lends an added interest to Bleise's story.

Thompson, who Is prominent in copper interests, to day referred to an item lately printed, as to an importation of East Indian copper coins in the United States. He stated that an erroneous impression prevails that these coins were withdrawn from circulation because the market price of the metal was so high that the coins were worth more as metal than as money. The fact Is said to be that the coins in question hare a circulating value to day of about 34 cents per pound of copper, whereas they were sold at less than 14 cents a pound. Mr. Thompson states that the coins were sold by the treasury of one of the native states, which had withdrawn them from circulation, replacing them by a small silver coin, and the change is part of a general change taking place in money standards In India.

MORE TROUBLE FOR FENTON. After His Interviews With Leslie He Is Charged With Assault. Daniel Fenton, proprietor of a hotel on the Bowery and Thompson's walk, Coney Island, who, It is claimed, was with Mrs. Arthur W. Leslie at Mrs.

Southerland's residence on Seventeenth avenue, Bath Beach, when the woman's husband forced his way into the house and created considerable excitement, has got himself into more trouble. This time he is charged with threatening to shoot Philip Armstrong, the manager of Leslie's pavilion on Surf avenue. It appears that Fenton, after recovering from the shock occasioned by Leslie's visit to the Bath Beach address, went back to the island and. It is said, procured a revolver and went on a hunt for Armstrong. The waiters of the pavilion managed to get Fenton out of the place before any shooting was done.

It was learned last night that papers in an action for divorce were served on Mrs. Leslie when her husband forced his way into her room with Martin Block, the special policeman who had been employed by Leslie.

WILL MAKE GIFT NATIONAL Still an Erroneous Idea in Some Quar ters That the Admiral Will Not Accept Home. Within the past few days a number of subscriptions to the National Dewey Home Fund have been received from points quite distant from Brooklyn, showing not only that the circulation of the Eagle is wide, but that the subscribers to the fund, when it shall have been closed, will be numbered from all parts of the country. Some of these subscribers, it is true, are residents of Brooklyn, out of town for the summer, but many of them are not. Those that are not, are residents of the towns from which they write and have heard only Incidentally of the fund, for the Eagle, at least, has made no direct effort to bring the fund to their notice.

There is still in some quarters an impression that Admiral Dewey will not care to accept the home after it has been purchased, and this In spite of the assurance that the Eagle has been able to give that the Admiral will be pleased to accept the home, as an offering from the American people. The Eagle can only repeat its assurance, and trust that in the future all idea that the Admiral will not care for the home will be dispelled. Contributions to the Fund.

Patterson Failed to Appear in Court in Supplementary Proceedings. Stephen G. Patterson was adjudged in contempt of court this morning in the Special Term of the Supreme Court, by Judge Stover. The Judge, however, reserved his decision as to the extent of the punishment to be imposed. The Judge also gave a young lawyer, a member of the firm of, Campbell Hance, representing Patterson, some good advice in disposing of the case.

In October, 1898, Patterson was examined in supplementary proceedings, but not until after several adjournments had been taken, and contempt proceedings were threatened. It was then found that he possessed no property available to satisfy, a debt which was standing against him for something over $600. The plaintiffs in the action alleged that since that time Patterson's mother has died, leaving him property. Proceedings were reopened and set down for July 24, last, and according to Messrs. Lexow, MacKellar and Wells, for the plaintiffs, Patterson's lawyers waited on them and requested an adjournment to July the next day, which was agreed upon, but on the samo day they made a further request for a week's adjournment, which was refused.

It was finally agreed, however, to extend it to July 26. On that day, however, when the case was called by Judge Stover, Patterson was not present In court and an order was issued calling for his appearance in court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. When the case was called this morning, affidavits were presented showing that on the afternoon of the day on which Patterson failed to appear, bankrupt proceedings were begun by his attorneys in the United States Court. The latter admitted to the Judge that the statement was true, but claimed that his client was a sufferer from kidney troubles, and on tho day in question was unable to appear in court in the supplementary proceedings. The Judge said that he did not think that the actions of the defendants' attorneys all together proper, but smiling on the young opposing lawyer, said, "You may as well learn early in your practice what Is proper.

It will do you good later on." HAD HIS WIFE ARRESTED. Campbell Says She Has Not Been Sober for Three Months. Mrs. Mary J. Campbell of 85 Nostrand avenue was sent to jail until August 10 by Magistrate Kramer in the Lee avenue police court this forenoon as a disorderly person.

They Cannot Get Their Pay Simis Complains of the Ne Civil Service Rules. Charities Commissioner Simis is very much disturbed over his Inability to secure help that can be relied upon to properly operate the Kings County Hospital at Flatbush. This condition is made possible by the new civil service rules, which affect all employes appointed since April 19 last, and the lack of eligible lists from which appointments can be made. While Commissioner Simis hae made a number of temporary appointments, a few of which have since been made permanent, he is unable to keep these men and women in the employ of the city, for the reason that none of them has received any pay since April. Each week resignations are handed In and notices served of suits brought against the city for wages due.

Appointments are made to fill the vacancies, but aa soon as the conditions become known to these appointees they resign In turn. As an example of how the hospital is suffering for lack of help, it may be cited that on July 21 Commissioner Simis made a requisition on the Civil Service Commissioners for nine orderlies, six senior nurses, three waitresses, three hospital helpers, two carpenters. Again, on July 25, Commissioner Simis made requisition for a senior clerk, third grade; an assistant apothecary, a laun dress and assistant, a male cook, two waitresses, three hospital helpers, two male and one female, seventeen orderlies, a telephone operator and a deputy superintendent. In response to these requisitions on August 1 the Civil Service Commissioners stated that they had no eligible lists for any of the positions named, but that under rule 66 the commissioner can make temporary appointments for one week, provided the appointees pass a satisfactory physical examination. This last requisite has made it impossible to obtain the help necessary, the women filling the ordinary household positions declining to undergo an examination that they deem as little called for in the hospital as in a private family.

Commissioner Simis said of this condition to the Eagle reporter this morning: "The" hospital is very badly crippled, and at a time of the year when our capacity is crowded to the utmost. This requirement as to physical examination i3 one of the most unnecessary rules imaginable. A waitress or a laundress and female help generally not like to submit to such an examination, and claim that they can secure employment in private famil'is without having to undergo any such examination. I believe in the usefulness of the civil service regulations when applied to clerical positions or positions of similar character. But I do not think it practicable to apply them to such minor positions as domestic service.

"The result is that the Kings County Hospital is crippled very much in its service. Those who have been appointed subsequent to April 19, and the adoption of the present civil service rules, have not received any pay. As a consequence they are resigning, and others refuse the positions because they do not know if in accepting temporary appointment that such an appointment will be made permanent, or whether they will be able to pass the civil service examination. For the benefit of, the service I think that this class of employes should be in an exempt list. But as I understand It the Civil Service Commissioners are unable to give me any assis.jnce unless the rules are changed.

"An Instance is given in point of the operations of the civil service rules as applied to work in the Charities Department. A man has recently been appointed as an examiner from another position in the department. He has been with the department in one or another position for about twenty one years and makes an excellent employe in his new position from the knowledge of his long experience. But he will now be required to take an examination for the new place, which it is doubtful if he can pass, the result being that the service will probably lose a valuable servant." Dr. Duryea, superintendent of the Kings County Hospital, said this afternoon that if some modifications were not made in the requirements surrounding ordinary domestic positions In the hospital that institution would be so badly crippled that it was doubtful if he could carry out the work coming under him.

The hospital is crowded and more help is needed at once. The rules governing appointments are such that few care to take the risk of receiving their pay, 'even if they are willing to submit to the physical examination and undergo a mental examination later. NAVY YARD MECHANICS. Thirty five applicants were examined at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to day for speoial mechanics in the construction department of the yard. The positions are worth $4 a day and are among the permanent places, so desirable in the Navy Department.

The transport sailed from this port July 16 and stopped at San Juan, Porto Rico, sailing from that port July 28. She ran to Santiago, where she anchored in the open bay thirty six hours. The passengers who came on board at Santiago had been quarantined ten days.

Benefits All Around. "Prom present indications the strike among the tailors, so far as Brownsville la concerned, will bo formally declared off tc mor tow night," said leader Max Alexander to a reporter for the Eagle this morning, when seen at the strike headquarters in American Star Hall, Pitkins avenue and Christopher Btreet. "Between 250 and 300 tailors returned to work at their respective shops this morning, the bosses of which gave the necessary bond binding them to the demands of the strikers. This means a raise of 25 per cent, in wages, ten hours for a day's work and fifty nine for the week. Every employe is also to be paid on the last day of the week.

"The result of this strike," continued Mr. Alexander, earnestly, "places the garment worker In a better condition than ever before. We will be able to earn more wages, with less hours of labor. Our condition will be generally improved. This means also that the contractors in return will get a better class of work and they will be able to demand a better price for their labor.

In fact both sides will profit, including the public as well, for as I explained the tailors will be In a condition to do better work. I can assure you that they will. I don't think you could find a more pleased lot of workmen than the tailors in this neighborhood over the result of their strike." Among the additional contractors who furnished the necessary bonds this morning were H. Nathan of 44G Watkins street, Ruben Goldstein of Thatford and Blalce avenues, H. Lazarus of Osborn street and Blake avenue, Henry Schwartz of 518 Stone avenue, Abraham Robinson of 441 Watkins street, Julius Moss of 390 Stone avenue, A.

Indications at the headquarters of the striking tailors, at 51 Morrell street, in the Eastern District, pointed at noon to day to an early adjustment of the difficulty between employers and employes. This result is due, to a large extent, to the systematic, businesslike and orderly way in which the strike has been conducted by its leaders.

Since the contractors showed the first signs of yielding the strikers lost no time in getting their settlement committee to work and so arranging terms with the contractors. Yesterday afternoon the settlement committee went into session at 2 o'clock, in a room on the second floor of 51 Morrell street. Abraham Fink presided. The other members of the committee were Abraham Rosenberg, Michael Hollender, Israel Goldberg, Abraham Levy, Jacob Engelmann, Jacob Jacobs and Morris Silverman. They remained in session until 10 o'clock last night, resuming again at 9 o'clock this morning.

While the committee has been consulting with the contractors and obtaining he signatures of the latter to the agreement, the men have passed the time quietly in the neighborhood of Wolf's Hall, on Morrell street, playing games or discussing the situation. Not a quarrel or a single case of intoxication has so far marred the progress of the strike. Tho men are showing the ut I most confidence in the loaders, while the latter are doing their best to end the trouble Speedily and satisfactorily. To an Eagle reporter who called at the rouws" nT the settlement committee shortly before noon to day a list of 22 who employ in all about 325 operatives was given out.

Chairman Fink added that the committee had in hand thirty five more applications for settlement from contractors, while more were coming in. It was probable, Mr. Fink added, that the committee, to keep up with the work, would remain in session again until 10 o'clock to night. A mass meeting has been arranged for tonight, at the new Irving Hall, 183 McKibben street. On Friday night meetings in different parts of the district will be held by tho local committees, and another mass meeting will ho held in Liederkranz Hall.

The men employed at the Morse yard, foot of Twenty sixth street, decided at a meeting held last night to go back to work to day. They were on hand this morning bright and early and were soon engaged on contract work which they had relinquished temporarily pending the outcome of the strike.
