It seems a Utopian idea to anticipate Carl Schurz, a general disarmament of nations in our generation; and until barbarism and the spirit of conquest and oppression shall be banished from the earth, governments will be forced to maintain armies and navies. But certainly among peoples who profess to be governed by the principles of a com- mon Christianity, and especially between nations kindred in lineage, language and institutions, a better method of adjusting the differences which must arise between them may be found than by the bloody ar- bitrament of war. The English-speaking race Is by far the mest numerous of the great Caucasian family, and to it are in- trusted by Providence the highest interests of civilization end Christianity in the world; and if this conference shall result in a permanent plan whereby their differ- ences may be adjusted by arbitration, it will win lor itself the fame of one of the memorable #ssemblies of all history.” Ex-Senator Edmunds Chairman. At the conclusion of Mr. Foster's re- marks ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont was chosen permanent presiding officer and made an impressive address. The appoint- ment of the necessary committees fol- lowed, after which Rey. Dr. L. T. Cham- berlain of New York addressed the confer- ence on its history and purposes. Dr. Chamberlain said: “The gathering, whose call was signed by representative men of the remotest west and the farthest south, as well as of the north and east, was not the device of any man, or of any hody of men. It had been called into being by the wish of the many. It existed for the ex- uneesion, in one direction, of the people's will. “Nor does it appear that on the other WEDNESDAY, APRIL of or- | aject, but rather to strengthen ana con-4 of the wate rong and sald. by those high in both church the sentiment of Anglo-3 riendliness wish been fi the le: of commer were in prelates, press of chief lite openly approve an rec!

Proceedings in it cese are being hastened by’ orders from headquarters, and result is expected in a ccuple of days in his and Dygart’s eases ” The officiais are gratified at this news, as it indicates that Rev. Mr. Diaz Is receiving unusual consideration at the hands of the Spanish authorities, and will soon secure his release, provided it is found that he is innocent of the charze upon which he was arrested, that of writing treasonable co} Tespondence. His release will depend upon his irnocence, as in case he was engaged in treason against the Spanish government he is Halle to punishment, notwithstanding the fact that he is a naturalized citizen of the United States. His friends here are dent of his innocence of all wronz- doing, and that on examination will result in his speedy release. Se Cept. Breckinridge’s Condition. Captain J.

Representative McCreary says that he bas been receiving letters from all paris of Kentucky with relation to the strugsle be- tween the silver and the gold factions of the democratic party. “I am thoroughly satisfied,” he said to a Star reporter, “that the gold men wil: control the Kentucky convention and will indorse Secretary Car- lisle for the presidency. I think, too, that the democratic convention will not declare for silver and wiil not nominate a silver man. I think that the ccrvention will not commit the party to silver, even if the sil- ver men are in a majority. When the dele- gates come to reason over the subject, I do not think they will put themselves in the light before forcign nations of abandoning sound money.” If you want a situation or want help; if you want to buy anything or sell any- thing; if you want to rent a house or roouis, or have them to let, use the adver- ising columns of The Star and you will get quick re- turn Practically every- body in Washington looks to them for in- ducements. business SECTARIAN SCHOOLS The Subject Still Further Discussed in the Senate.
