Addresses by Dr. Jordan, Rev' Mr. Adams, Bernard Moses, Dr. Stebbins, Col. Irish. Dr. Jordan’s Severs Comments Upon the Seal Fisheries Arb.- traticn. The regular banquet of members of the Unitarian Club took place at the Cali- forma last night. There were over a Lun- dred persons present, many of them among the most prominent in the City. The banquet, which was elaborate, tasted | about an hour and a hal | The question to be discussed was the | general one of arbitration as it has been | brought forward between th: and England. to the fur seals of Alaska. He told of his recent visit to the rookeries and went into figures to show that the seals were de- | that and toid Blomross to wait for a few creasing and needed to be protected. The doctor went into the history of the contest between England and the United States as to their respective claims to the seals. He commended Dr. Merriam, who | was sent theresome years ago to make in- | vestigations for the United States. { what had occurred. “If America had let Dr. Merriam re- main there long enough there would have | been no arbitration,” suid thedoctor; “we | would have had the fur seals, and that been the end of it. i tention was that the seals were | s wherever they were. and another was \at they ought to be preserved. There have been 600,000 femules killed at sea, 400,000 pups have starved to death and | 500,000 young unborn seals have been | killed with their mothars. | “Great Britain has laid herself out for a compromise. That is what she wanted. She had noright and she was willing to | compromise. Before the Paris tribunal there was no agreement of what the facts | were. When thie contestants came before | the urib , no conditions having been | agreed upon, one set of arguments was | just as good as another. The Canadian | aflidavits cost the price of the drinks; the | erican affidavits got througn the secret | service probably cost thousands of doilars. | We provided for a compromise and no | compromise was possible.”’ Dr. Jordan went into all tails of the life of ferent methods of | tude of Russia, and finally seid that the | the_ Paris tribunal was really Many cheers were given ie ciose of his address. The George C. Adams of the | Congregational Church was announced as the next speaker.

The nation best prepared for war is the best prepared for peace.” Professor Bernard Moses of the State University spoke on the attitude of demo- crats and democracy in this country toward arbitration. He said if we were a monarchy we would have a different opinion regarding arbitration. The na- tions most siiffly for monarchy are most stiffly for war. 1If there is no other settle- | ment for disputes but the European way. | then there is no other way for us. The | spirit of war has not died out. The rising | generation is as eager for war as the one | that has_vassed. This is not an age of | peace. Never were there 50 many im- | portant wars as during this century. But | in arbitration is the basis, the hope of our | Tepublican civilization. { The Rev. Dr. Stebbins was called on to speak on arbitration and He said singular as it might seem Chris- | tianity was rather a vague term. “But the intent of it is the welfare of | men, of nations and the human race. Tne world has been governed by fesr and force and is largely so governed now. The igaominy of having nothing worth fighting jor is worse than war. The princi feature of this treaty is that it 1s fairl proposed. W hat becomes of it is destined to have a great effect on iuture genera- | tions. I take great pride in it. “I ask you to helieve in this arbitration, hope for it, work for it. A great principle is immortal. It never dies.” He received much applanse for bis ad- ress. The president asked for an expres- dion of opinion. He said Horace Davis shad provided a resolution, and he asked for the reading of it. It was read by Sheldon Kellogg, and was unanim ously adopted as follow Resolved, By the Unitarian Club of Califor- nisZthat any differen s or disputes arising betiveen the United States and Great Britain, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agencies, should be referred to arbitration, and that a tribunal for that Jpurpose ought 1o be established by treaty arraiigements between the two nations. Horace Davis said the only objection he had to it was that it was not strong enough. He wanted something that would ask the support of the United States Senate. Mr. Kellogg then submitted the follow- ing supplementary resolution: fesolved, That the Unitarian Club of Califor- nia commends the generul arbitrativn treuty NEW TO-DAY. - ITCHING SKIN DISEASES SPEEDY CURE TREATMENT for torturing, dis uring, itching, burning, and scaly skin and scalp disesses with 1088 of hair. — Warm baths with Cu.

This number the com- mittee thinks will be ample, as each lamp will be provided with a new kind of re- flector, which it is thought will turn all the lignt, generally lost above the lamp, down to the earth.

Before this mighty irresistible array of unity every ob- stacie and every obstruction of silurianism has been swept aside. Shall Sixth street be included in this mighty upheaval of public enterprise or shall she be thrust back to the ignominious condition of “Rotten Row.” Shall Sixth street, one of the fairest jewels in the diadem of realty, be, as_virtuaily she should be, in the van of this onward sweep, or must she endure the contempt ol our City asa “has been.” The position of your tenants in this mat. ter is seli-evident. ~“What is your position?

Your co-operation in this matter is imperative. The City Fathers will not accord us the proper_recognition without your identifica- tion. The removal of one of our heretofore steadiest and representative merchants of the street must arouse you to a full realization of obvious defects. We ask you in all fairness and justice to join our ranks—to lend your voice and presence to the consummation of this most vital project.
