President Cleveland, accompanied by Sec- retary Morton and Commissioner Miller, re- turned here last night in a special car over thesSouthern railroad from Leesburg, Va. where they spent the day fishing. The train did not come into the depot, but was sidetracked at 14th and Maryland avenue, where the party was met by the Presi- Gent's carriage and driven home. The net result of yesterday's sport was only thirty A PLAN PROPOSED Resolutions Adopted by the Arbi- tration Conference, THE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT An Anglo-American Court of Arbi- tration Recommended. CLOSE OF THE CONFERENCE A large and brilliant audience gathered in Allen’s Grand Opera House last night to attend the evening session of the arbitra- tien conference. A glance over the audi- ence from the stage showed the presence of men most prominent In official, scientific and educational circles of the national capital, and of women who stand at the head of the social life of the city. It seem- ed that every one of prominence in Wash- ington almost was there to lend encourage- ment to the plan of the meeting by the moral influence of their personal presence. Upstairs and downstairs the opera house was crowded, and the prevalence of even- ing dress gave the audience a gala air. It was a remarkable outpouring of the higher element of the community in behalf of the exalted sentiment of arbitration. That they had not come there merely to hear famous men talk was evidenced by the frequent outbursts of applause for the sen- timents uttered. When the distinguished men on the stage turned to the magnificent audience before them and recognized the faces of those who composed it they were justified in a feeling of gratification at this conspicuous indorsement given their efforts by those whose position in official life ren- ders the support thus given significant. Mr. Randolph Tucker's Remarks. Ex-Congressman John Randolph Tucker of Virginia was the first speaker, and ad- dressed himself to the subject from a legal point of view. He conceded the difficulties that confronted the conference, but de- clared they should not paralyze its efforts. All the difficulties might be summed up in the one question: How can a commonwealth of nations, like a commonwealth of men, be constituted un. der a common law, to be administered b: recognized courts of justice, and to be en- forced by the unitied authority of all? This is done in a commonwealth of men. How can it be done in a commonwealth of na- tions? “We need an international law,” said Mr. Tucker, “international tribunals to adjudicate conflicts under this law, and a supreme authority of all to enforce judg- ments against recusant states. We need a law to prescribe rules of conduct, courts to decide cases, and an international posse comitatus to enforce judicial decisions. “Causes are at work by which this great moral conservator is reaching out for the conquest of the world and to enlarge the area of Christendom by bringing all nations within its influence. Sooner or later Chris- tendom will embrace all nations within its federation, and the moral force of Chris- tlanity will one day thrill every nerve, pul- sate every artery, stiffen every sinew and inspire every human aspiration among all the nations of the earth.” President Eliot Causes a Breeze. Mr. Tucker was followed by President Eliot, who, in the course of his remarks, made pointed personal allusions that created a decided sensation. He began by referring to the criticism of a Harvard graduate up- on"the assembly as inopportune. The coun- try had been surprised and discouraged at the immense war spirit it had encountered, he said, and he continued: “Only four months ago we saw by the message of President Cleveland that com- pulsory arbitration was to be entered into by two other nations. We learned that months before the Secretary of State had issued from this capital papers of most re- markable tenor, which between individuals Would have seemed at least exasperating. These papers took thousands of American citizens by surprise, surprise unintended perhaps, but inevitable. Then when grave propositious were laid before the legislative branch of the government that we thought might be depended on to consider them deliberately we were painfully surprised to see that such deliberation could no longer be depended upon. The Press and Jingoism. He spoke of the increased inflammability of multitudinous populations, because ot tne press, and went on: “We have seen the phe- nomenon of men employed as cabinet offi- cers who have absolutely no experience in public affairs.” This had introduced into public affairs a new danger, the danger of inexperience, bringing men from the tu- multuous, contentious profession of the law into cabinet office: “here has recently been an importation from Europe of an idea utterly repugnant to us, a modern notion called jingoism,” he said. “A detestable word for a detestable thing. I should be utterly at a loss to know which party In this country is the greatest offender in this respect, and I particularly grieve that foremost in this enormity are sundry graduates of Harvard University. Can anything be more offensive to indus- trious, sober, hard-working American citi- zens that this chip-on-the shoulder attitude, this brutality, coupled with a despotic mili- tarism?”" Bishop Keane's Views. Some applause followed these remarks, but there wis great applause when Bishop " COLLARS TO BE GIVEN AWAY IN ARTICLES VALUE TO THE Re oo” REAL MAIL POUCH “CHEWING AND SMOKING" (he Only ANTLNERVOUS and.

I do not helieve it is our purpose or our right to blame either of them. But we, as American citizens, are free to say at itis a pity that things are as they are, compelling the President and Congress to talk of war with another civilized nation. He indorsed the conference and its aims, and spoke on the disastrousness of war and the desirability of making arbitration its e. filttarism was introduced in the world on account of greed for plunder and the en- largement of power. It has been the curse of the world. With Caesarism milita: must go. ‘The hatred of different nationali- ties living in adjoining countries or sep- arated by a river is wrong. It has been shown in the United States that all nation- alities can live under one government with peace and prosperity. We have shown this to the world. The world is sick of the hatred existing abroad and of the armed militarism of the oid world. Hatred is of the world below, and it must go, and with it must go militarism.” The world must be governed by justice, | he declared, and by love and truth, not by force and might. Only truth can prevail and govern. He closed by asserting amid applause that there is more common sense in the English-speaking race than in ail the rest cf the world together. Need of a National Conscience. President Francis J. Patton of Princeton University followed end was warmly greet- ed. He was pleasantly introduced by Mr. Edmunds. He declared that international arbitration would be enforced by ‘‘the grad- ual evolution of an international con- science.” He said he desired to place him- self and his college on record as being in hearty sympathy with the movement, and after referring to the proud, patriotic his- tory of Princeton’s sons in the past, he de- clared that the only hope of the successfu! carrying out of the purpcse of the confer- ence was in carrying out the evolution of the national conscier ce. . “The coarser neture cannot have much argument, and is held in restraint by fear of imprisonment, fine or both,” he declared. “There is another nature which can be held in check by the cold shoulder, and this is what we must get in the national life, and then arbitration will be effective. We all acknewledge that war is not desired and that arbitration is. “The world is now looking at the organ- ism, not at the men and women who make up that organism. It is the study of that organism or social condition that is being made, and is called political economy. "The science of sociology is being con- sidered, ard we find in that study that the word man is greater than the word En- glishman. We find that there is a broth- erhood of man. “Men are coming to understand that war is not necessary unless we want it, and we do not want it,” said Dr. Patton, ‘and this is why we take the optimistic view of the future. Close of the Conference, At the conclusion of President Patton's addres Mr. Carl Schurz was called for, but excused himself on account of hoarse- ness. A vote of thanks was tendered Pres- ident Edmunds on motion of Judge Charles P. Daly of New York, and in response Mr. Edmunds spoke of the necessity of keeping the subject of arbitration alive, and de- clared that he had never received a greater honor than that tendered to him when he was called to preside over a conference for peace ameng men. Votes of thanks were extended to the Washington committee, Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, Mr. Wm. E. Dodge, | the press and the railroads, and the confer- ence adjourned without de! RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Arbitration Between the Union and Grent Britain is Desired. At the afternoon session the attention of the delegates was devoted to the considera- tion of the report of the committee on resolutions upon the various propositions submitted to the conference. The ¢thair- man, President Angell of the Michigan University, submitted a substitute, which was as follows: ‘This national conference of American citi- zens, assembled at Washington, April 22, 196, to promote international arbitration, profoundly convinced that experience bas shown that war, as a method of determin- ing disputes between nations, ts oppressive in its operation, uncertain and unequal in its results, arid productive of immense evils, and That the spirit and humanity of the age, as well as the precepts of religion, require }He Addresses Mr. the adoption of every for the estab. between nati “And _cons' ig that the people of the United Stat and the people of Great Brit- ain, bound together by ti of a common language and literature, of like political and legal i and of many mu- practicable means ment of reason and justice tual interes nimated by a’ spirit of devotion to law and justice, have on many occasions, by recour: to peaceful and friendly arbitretion, manifested their just desire ‘to substitute reason for force in the settlement of their differences, and to estab a reign of peace among na- tons; That the common sense and enlightened public opinion of both nations ts utterly exes to any fyrther war between them; an That the same good sense, reinforced by common principles of Rumantty, religion and justice, requires the adoption of a permanent method for the peaceful adjust- ment of international controversies, which method shall not only provide for the uni- form application of principles of law and justice in the settlement of their own differ- ences, but shall also, by its example and its results, promote the peace and progress of all peoples, Does hereby adopt the following resolu- t. That in the judgment of this con- ference, religion, humanity and justice, as well as the material interests of civilized society, flemand the immediate establish- ment between the United States and Great Britain of a permanent system of arbitra- tion; and the earliest possible extension of the system so as to embrace the whole civilized world. Second. That it is earnestly recommended to our government, so soon as it fs assured of a corresponding disposition on the part of the British government, to negotiate a treaty providing for the widest practicable application of the method of arbitration to international controverstes. Third. That a committee of this confer- ence be appointed to prepare and present to the President of the United States a memorial respectfully urging the taking of stich steps on the part of the United States as will best conduce to the end in view. The resolutions were discussed by Mr. Charles Dudley Warner, who cordially sup- ported them; Dr. J. L. M. Curry, Oscar R. Hundley cf Alabama, Henry Hitchcock of St. Louis and others. Mr. Ffollet of Ohio wanted the scepe of the recommendations enlarged so as to embrace other nations besides Great Britain. After further dis- cussion, the resolutions were amended by adding to the first section the words: “And the earliest possible extension of the sys- tem so as to embrace the whole civilized world,” and in such a shape was adopted. The conference decided that the commit- tee created by the resolutions should con- sist of five members, and it was selected as follows: Ex-Senator Edmunds, chair- man; President Angell, Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, Mr. J. L. M. Curry and Mr. Henry Hitchcock. CARDINAL GIBBBONS. Hubbard on the Subject of Arbitration. Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, to whose indi- vidual efforts the success of {he arbitration conference was in a large degree due, re- ceived a letter from Caftind! Gibbons yes- terday, regretting his {nability to attend the sessions, and expounding his views on the all-important subject uhder considera- tion. After expressing his regrets Cardinal Gibbons wrote as follows: There is no subject that should demand the attention of men influential In commer- cial and social life more than the question of international arbitration. It is gratify- ing to note the widespread attention which this question has excited ifi: America and Europe, and which, for some years past, has been steadily increasinga 5 That the cause of international peace is gaining ground is evident from the fact that war is no longer precipitated among Christian nations, as in former times, at the whim of the sovereign, but the voice of the people is heard through their representa- tives and their press at least in constitu- tional governments. Commercial interests end fraternal and social relations between the nations of the earth are now becoming so intertwined that one country can hardly inflict an injury upon another without hay- ing the blow recoil upon itself. Christianity has created, and is daily de- veloping, international law throughout the civilized werld. Courts of arbitration are growing tu favor among Christian nations. Instances of arbitration are multiplying in our own days. The dispute between Germany and Spain in reference to the Car- cline Islands was adjusted by Pope Leo XII, in 1886. The Samoan difficulty be- tween the United States and Germany, in 1889, was referred to a friendly conference INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

At the close of President Cleveland's administration an arbitration treaty between Mexico and the United States was signed in Washington. By an ect of Congress, passed in* 1888, the Presi- dent is authorized to invite representatives of the governments of South America, Cen- tral America, New Mexico and Hayti to an international” conference in Washington. The very first proposition to be discussed had reference to the adoption of measures that tend to preserve the peace and pro- mote the prosperity of the several Amer- ican states. In well-ordered society the disputes of in- dividuals are settled not by a recourse to a duel, but to the law. Would it not be a blessing to humanity if national controver- sies were composed on the same principle, and that the just cause of a nation should be vindicated by a court of arbitration rather than by an appeal to arms? Then to rulers, as well as to private Iitigants could be applied the words: “Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just.” And this amicable system, while protect- ing the rights of the weak, would not hu- miliate or wound the national pride of the strong, since it does not attempt to trench on the sovereignty or autonomy of any power. Let us cherish the hope that the day is not far off when the reign of the Prince of Peace will be firmly established on the earth, when the spirit of the Gospel will so far sway the minds and hearts of rulers that standing armies will yield to perma- nent courts of arbitration, that contests will be carried on in the council chamber in- stead of the battlefield, and decided by the pen instead of the sword. —_—___. Worked a Game. This morning, in Judge Kimball's court, a colored man named John Merrick was given a trial on a charge of being a sus- picious person. He is nearly forty years old and owns real estate, but the evidence of several witnesses was given to show that he has been engaged in something other than legitimate business. Policeman Willingham arrested him last night on Ist street near the entrance to Soldiers’ Home. Barbara Henderson and Lucius Jackson, oung colored people, were seated on the bank near the home entrance, when Mer- rick came up and said: “You “. I've got you at last. Then he called, “Come on, John,” and, much to his sur- prise, the policeman responded. One wit- ness said Merrick told him last summer that he had followed couples about the section mentioned, and one night he got $5 from a man. Among those whom hé “held up” was Policeman Boswell, who was out walking with his wife, but when he saw that his game of bluff did not work and recognized the officer he apologized, and explained that he was doing detective work to catch some of his society mem- bers. Judge Kimball held the defendant in $200 security or ninety days on the farm. The bond was given and he was released. gees The republican congressional convention of the sixth Ohio district last night, after 351 ballots, nominated Seth W.

Dygert and the Dias Brothers Notified to Leave Cuba, A special cable dispatch to the New York Herald from Havana, sent yesterday, says: The trial of Julio Sanguilly, the American who was charged with kidnaping Fernan- dez de Castro, resulted in his acquittal to- day. The Rev. Albert Diaz and his brother Alfred, who were released from prison yesterday, were given notice to leave Cuba on the first steamer. Papers found by the police in the minister's house, it is said, afforded positive evidence of their relations with the insurgents. A A special cable dispatch of yesterday's date from Havana to the New York World says: Walter Grant Dygert, the Illinois boy arrested at Guines as a suspect— charged formally with going beyond the Spanish lMnes—is to be liberated at last. The order to bring Dygert to Havana was sent to Guines today. He will be expelled from Cuba tmmediately. Rev. Mr. Diaz has been ordered to leave the island. ——_+e-+___ Mr. Chilton’s Mission. Mr. Robert Chilton, chief of the consular bureau of the State Department, has left Washington for Mexico to spend a month in the inspection of United States consulates in that country. Mr. Chilton will go by steamer from New York to Tampico, which will oblige him to stop at Havana, but his work has nothing to do with Cuban con- sulates at present. Later in the year Mr. Chilton will make a similar visit to Can- ada and then to Europe. 1 The Nationaf Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company Of the District of Colcmita, CORNER 15TH ST.
