Assembled in mass meeting yesterday afterncon at the Grand Opera House the people of this city, together with repre- sentative men from over half the states of the Union, adopted unanimously the fol- lowing resolution: “The citizens of Washington, in public meeting assembled, desire to attest their approbation of the great principle of in- ternational arbitration, as embodied in the treaty between this republic and Great Britain now pending in the Sena: Be- Heving thfs treaty to be a distinct ad- vance toward the best civilization, and trusting that it may prove a helpful ex- ample to other nations, we shall hail with joy and patriotic pride -ts confirmation by the Senate of the United States.” A Distinguished Gathering. It was a distinguished audience that gathered at the Grand Opera House yes- terday afternoon at 4 o’cleck. There were men who have achieved fame in the field of diplomacy, in statesrmanship, in litera- ture, in science, in the pulpit, and on the battlefield. There were men who repre- sent great commercial enterprises, whose business sagacity is counted high in the boards of trade throughout the land. It was such an audience that had gathered to pay tribute to a sentiment, and wanted to realize the dreams of poets of all ages— a universal peace. The call for this meeting to indorse the principle of arbitration and to influence favorable consideration by the Senate of an arbitration treaty with Great Britain was signed by Gardiner G. Hubbard, ex-Sec- retary John W. Foster, Chief Justice Mel- ville W. Fuller of the Supreme Court of the United States, John Hay, Commissioner George Truesdell, Bishop John F. Hurst, Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee, Rev. Samuel H. Greene, Rev. B. L. Whitman, president of Columbian University; Rev. Dr. D. J. Staf- ford, Berfah Wilkins, W. J. Boardman, Crosby S. Noyes, Henry E. Pellew, A. 'T. Britton, Myron M. Parker and Rev. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin. Although the hour of neeting was inconvenient, the Grand Op: House held a large and representative a' dience when ex-Secretary Foster called the assemblage to order. Many ladies were present. Among others there were on the stage M. G. Emery, W. B. Gurley, Commis- sioner Truesdell, C. C. Glover, Clarence F. Norment, Rev. 8. H. ohn Joy E son, Rev. Byron Sunderland, Louis .fchn- son Davis, Simon Wolf, Associate Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court, Rev. . Butler, Rey. 'T. S. Ham- lin, ex-Civil Service Commissioner Lyman, Rey. B. L. Whitman, Thomas Nelson Page, ex-Serator John B. Henderson and Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith. Rabbi Stern of the Eighth Street Synagogte was in the au- dience. There was a notable abserce of senators and representatives, hut Repre- sentative Morse of Massachusetts was pres- ent. The theater was rather uncomfort- ably cold and many of!those occupying piaces on the stage turned the collars of their coats up and shivered. In the avdi- ence a number of mén_ not only kept their cvercoats tightly buttoned, but kept their hats on as a protection: fram icy breezes. ‘The opening of the meeting was slightly delaye@ in order*ito allow.the members of the rational board of t¥ade time: to reach the Opera Hausé, ‘and @ large portion of the orchestra chairs were- reserved for them. Ladies occupied,all the boxes and the house was well filled on the lower floor, the galleries also having a sprinkling of spectators. Ex-Secretary Fouter’s Opening Re- marks. Ex-Secretary Foster called the meeting to order. His brief address was impressive and noteworthy for the statesmanlike character of the views expressed. “Eight months ago,” he said, “there was as- sembled in this city a conference of representative citizens of almost all the states of the Union to promote the establishment of a system or method of permanent arbitration between the United States and Great Britain. A national organization was then effected, and the movement was universally regard- ed as a patriotic and humane work. “When, by the transmission to the Sen- ate of the recently signed treaty, it was made public that the President and Sec- retary of State had agreed with the gov- erament of Great Britain upon a conven- ion which gave promise of an early real- ization of our long cherished hope, we, who participated in that conference, felt that it was eminently fitting that the friends of arbitration resident in this city, gathered from the various states of the Union, should be afforded an opportunity to come together and manifest their gratl- fication at this important step taken in the direction of permanent peace between the two great English-speaking nation§, and, if they saw fit, to express the hope that the Senate of the United States would place the stamp of its approval upon this great instrument. ‘But it is proper to say that in calling this meeting it has not been in any spirit of criticism or impatience. We recognize the fact that under a provision of the Con- stitution, which experience has proved to be a wise one, the Senate is made a part of the treaty-making power and has a duty to discharge co-ordinate with the na- tional executive. We also recognize that this nation has great interests on this hem- isphere which should not be made the sub- ject of arbitration with any European na- tion. It is believed that these interests have been carefully guarded in the pending treaty, but if after mature consideration the Serate should find it expedient and pos- sible to make the language of the treaty mc¢re explicit in this respect, such action should be regarded as prudent statesman- ship. I, however, venture to express the hope that the final action of that body will not be such as to defeat the treaty, as it would thereby disappoint the hopes of the great majority of the people of the United States, and discredit cur government in the eyes of the civilized world.” Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard Presided. Gardiner G. Hubbard, president of the American Geographical;Society, then took the chair as presiding officer, and Louis Johnson Davis was chosen. secretary of the meeting. On taking the chair Mr. Hubbard made a thoughtful address. “We are not here,” he said, speaking of the treaty pending in the Senate, “to dis- cuss its provisions, orto criticise its de- fects. We admit its imperfections and its incompleteness, but we helleve these very imperfections and this incompleteness at- test its integrity, its earnest purpose and noble aim. Every treaty, whether between individuals or nations, must, from its nature be a compromise, a yielding of minor points on the one side and on the other, that the vital principle may be confirmed and es- tablished. Sir Julian Pauncefote, on the cne hand, and Mr. Olney on the other, have both required, and made:concessions, which have tested and proved the sincerity and good faith of England.in agreeing to a treaty by which all future differences shall be decided by arbitration instead of force, and thereby all danger of war be removed, and two nations, one in lineage and lan- guage, be more closely bound in mutual confidence and t. A “The settlement of differences between nations by arbitration is the outgrowth of our higher civilization. It is the gradual growth of centuries of development, the ever gradual building up of civiliza’ of which it is the topmost, the cro is, stone, “Nor will the settlement of national dif- ferences: rbitration be confined to Eng- lend ena Aum rica; oti nations ually will be brought into similar relat and "Era matters" Un debe of te pt of 1 = cl Laon of the world—debts incurred pally in war, and constant tion for war—in 1800 wee #10, 000,000,000; in 1870, $17,000,000,000; in 1890, $27,000.000,000. An increase of 60 per cent in twenty years of profound peace. Between 1880 and 1896 | the annual appropriations fer the armies | and ravies of the seven great powers of | Europe increased from $647,000,000 a year | to $808,000,000, or 25 per cent. Our annual appropriation for army and navy during the same period increased from_ $4),000,000 to $49,000,000, or 21 per cent. Could the fear of war be removed, could confidence in a higher tribunal be secured, how giadly would the nations of the world, so heavily taxed for the maintenance of armies, beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears mto pruning hooks—how steadily | would they rise to new liberty and a higher development! | “In the interest, then, of peace, of the brotherhood of nations, of the lifting of burdens heavy to be borne—of humanity, of Christianity—let us join with England in the establishment of a tribunal of interna- tional arbitration to which national differ- ences shall in future be referred. “In closing I wiil read an extract from a letter of General Grant to the Universal Peace Union of Philadelphia, in December, 187 ‘Although educated and brought up as a soldier,’ he said, ‘and having probably been in as many battles as any one, cer- tainly as many as most people could have been, yet there was never a time nor a day when it was not my desire that some just and fair way should be establisted for settling difficulties, instead of bringing in- nocent persons into conflict, and thus with- drawing from productive labor able-bodied men, who, in a large majority of cases, have no particular interest in the subject for which they are contending. I look for- ward to a day when there wili be a court establiched, that shall be recognized by all nations, which will take into consideration all differences between nations, and settle by arbitration or decision of such court these questions.” President Whitm: ‘s Address. President Whitman of Columbian Univer- sity was next introduced, and spoke in favor of arbitration with great torce. He spoke of men's duty 4s citizens and Chris- tlans. “I love America,” he continued, “but I know that to do our duty in Americ. we must remember the deep fundamental sen- timents that make mannood. Uur country claims our fidelity. ant it so, but then before men mz Sere ns great nature made us men. “There ts that miserable feeling which has grown up, apparently, as a reaction against a more miserable feeling. There is a disease in our American social! life knowir as Anglo-mania. I have heard tnere are people in New York that alware raise an umbrella when they hear it ag in London. There is another morbid growth known as Anglo-phobia. When you pro- nounce the name of England there is a feeling of unrest. To cure both of these diseases there is needed but an inoculation of first-class common sense.

Ex-Senator Henderson now of this city of Missouri, bai read a carefully prepared paper on the question of the treaty row before the Senate. I ful analysis of the le; treaty, but there was not ume for him to * hat prepared a care- aspects of the enter upon a visions. “The intention,” he said, “is to provide able and impartial civil tribunals to try and adjudicate questions of boundary and other kindred territorial questions, and also that pestiferous brood of questions known as Pecuniary claims. As the treaty enumer- ates the causes of controversy two be ar- bitrated, all other questions under accept- ed rules of construction are necessarily ex- cluded. Those stereotyped ubjections to ali arbitrations touching the ‘nonor,’ the ‘dig- nity’ and the ‘existence’ of the nation can- not be urged in this case. Our traditional policy has been in favor of arbitrating boundary disputes. And in the case of the only exception to this rule of ours, we were careful to declare that war existed, not by our act, but by the act of Mexico in making hostile invasion on our territory. “But whatever may have been our es- tablished policy, the famillar doctrine of estoppel should close our mouths against the danger or even the impropriety of sub- mitting territorial or boundary questions to arbitration. Scarcely twelve months have passed since we imperiously an@ somewhat offensively demanded of Great Britain that she should arbitrate # similar dispute with Venezuela. So admirable and so acceptable was the doctrine then that we were willing to extend uur charity far beyond the safety and security of our own affairs; and at the point of the bayonet we threatened to enforce the acceptance of Christian love and charity upon our barbarous neighbor. “If arbitration be good for England and Venezuela, why not good for us? Our policy has been equally peaceable and just in reference to pecuniary claims, and this treaty in that regard suggests no danger- ous experiment. “No just man can well object to arbitrat- ing those numerous and never-ending claims of a pecuniary character, which sometimes justly, but more often unjustly, the citizens of one nation urge against the citizens and governments of another na- tion. The justice and validity of such claims are never settled by war. They can alone be determined by an inquiry lato the Jaw and the facts of each case. “The machinery of this treaty guaran- tees, I am sure, able and impartial tri- bunals for their investigation, and all honest men should be content with their awards. “I have examined with some care :he numerous criticisms against this treaty, and there is, in my judgment, but one hav- ing the least plausibility. It is barely pos- sible that controversy may attach to the meaning of the word ‘otherwise’ as used in article 4. After including ‘all pecuniary claims’ exceeding £100,000, the description proceeds as follow: ‘And all other mat- long disci sion of its pro- ters in difference in respect of which either of the high contracting parties shall have rights against the other under treaty or otherwise.’ Mr. Henderson spoke of the effect of the treaty on the building of the Nicaragua canal and saw no harm in having European capital build it. Continuing he said: “I share not in the weak jealousies and fears of England. To disparage her is to defame ourselves. Whatever the form of their institutions, Englishmen must be free. Wherever they go, civilization follows. And we, her children, are worthy, I hope, of our ancestry. As Wordsworth well said: ““*We must be free or die, who speak the tongue that Shakespeare spoke: the faith and morals hold, which Milton held.’ “This treaty brings no jeopardy to the Monroe doctrine. Whatever that doctrine is, it was first suggesied to us by England. As understood by Mr. Monroe and all our earlier statesmen it still has, in my judg- ment, the approval of the English govern- ment. As understood by some of our poli- ticians of today, it threatens to disp ssess European nations of their American colo- nies. “To this England objects, and so do all other nations, including a large majority of our own people. Ours is not a policy of conquest. We must commend our govern- ment to others by the happiness, comfort and contentment of our people. Annexa- tion by war is contrary to the spirit and genius of cur institutions. Such extension of Eatery would bring no strength to the nation. “The sacredness of the Monroe doctrine seems to be dear to the politicians, as ques- tions of theology once were to the casuist. The controversy could go on for ages, while neither the question nor the argument was understood. Let the Monroe doctrine be placed, like all other questions, in the cruci- ble of human reason. If we have rights under it, let those rights be formulated and proclaimed. If we make claims under it, those claims must be settled either by arbi- tration or by war. History and our own experience teach us the horrors of war. To the soldier it brings suffering, wounds and death. To the survivors it brings debt, taxes, poverty and discontent. “The public debt of Great Britain exceeds $3,000,000,000. The debt of France is nearly double that of England. That of the Ger- vast debts were created in the prosecution of wars. “Tae public debts of all the nations now amount to $30,000,000,000; nearly all the di- rect result of war. The ‘annual interest of these debts is about $1,000,000,000, And far worse than all this is the constant burdea of standing armies. Austria and Ttaly maintain each a regular army and navy of over 330,000 men. “Russia maintains nearly %x)(K) mer. and Germany and France each over 000 men; while England supports in the same Manner about 2404k", These six nations withdraw from productive industry strong and vigorous men and then tax the! pople to support them as soldiers. The annual loss to these states is, therefore, about $1,600,000,000. So long as these armaments last, the existing national debts cannot be paid. Under the weight of ceaseless and accumulating burdens, the people lose al} hope. A new batch of revolutions (hen suc- ceeds, and the national authority musi be vindicated only by an increase of existing evils. Whether the rich become richer in this miserable system of government is Goubtful, but it is perfectly certain that the poor are constantly becoming poorer, and worse still the numbers of the poor in- crease with alarming rapidity. “I forbear to mention our own war debts or the consequent annual burdens of inter est, pensions, fortifications and armaments of defense. If noi fully known to us ‘n all their vast extent, they are surely felt by the people. And’ from the oppressioa of their burdens comes ail that dangerous brood of political questions which threaven our future peace and prosperit “Call me sentimentalist if you choose.

He said he thought there was no disposition on the part of those attending the meeting to tnstruct the Senate of the United States as to their dutfes.

John Joy Edson then offered the follow- ing resolutions: “Whereas tariffs and taxation are uni- versally recognized as practical business questions for the consideration of the cit- izen and taxpayer; “Whereas the war debts of nations are the main cause and corner stone of tariffs and taxation, and are, therefore, eminently practical subjects: “Resolved, That the excellent work here- tofore done by churches, colleges, philan- thropists and others in promoting interna- tional peace and good will should be sup- plemented by practical action by mer- chants and manufacturers, farmers and laborers. “Resolved, That the national, state and local boards of trade throughout the United States, the national, state and local granges, the national and local labor or- ganizations, and the national and local manufacturers’ associations be invited to appoint standing committees of five mem- bers each for the consideration and pro- motion of international arbitration.” Commissioner Truesdell offered the res- olution expressing the sense of the meet- ing, and both declarations were adopted unanimously.

More than a hundred ladies and gentie- men who are interested in the proposed Episcopal eye, ear and throat hospital to be established under the auspices of the Giocese of Washington. held a meeting yes terday afternoon in St. John’s Parish Hall. The needs of such an institution in this city were discussed at some length an| a permanent organization was completed by the election of a board of governors. ‘The new hospital ts designed to treat in- digent persons who are suffering from dis- cases of the eye, ear, throat or nose, and while it is to be under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, there will be no distinc- tions of creed, color or race in its benefi- cent results. In the absence of Rev. Dr. John H. Ti- Hott from the meeting yesterday, Mr. Will- fam D. Baldwin presided. Dr. E. Oliver Belt acted as secretary and explained the plans and method of work of the new in- stitution. An estimate of $3,000 has been made for running expenses for the first year. The management of the proposed hospital will be vested in a board of gov- crnors, consisting of twenty-five members, of which the bishop of the diocese is to be the head. The other twenty-four memiers are to be divided as follows: Six members of the city Episcopal clergy, three consult- ing and three attending physicians, and twelve laymen of the church. There will also be a board of lady managers, who will have charge of the domestic concerns of the hospital and supervise the expenditure of funds for running expenses. ‘An election of members of the board of estimable value to every wide-awake person | governors was held at yesterday's meeting and resulted in the choice of the following: Clergy—Rizht Rev, Henry Y.
