TO PAE ME President’s Policy in the Philip- pines One of Mingled Gentle- ness and Energy, Secretary Hay Tells Delegates, AND THERE WAS NO FIGHTING ON THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.| A Few Platoons of Marines Were ‘Landed There, but Not a Shot \Was Fired—Great Americans Are Doubly Quoted. | BOSTON, Oct, 3.—Secretary of State John Hay kept President Roosevelt well Im view during his welcoming speech to ‘the delegates to the thirteenth Interna- tional Peace Congress at the formal opening of the convention in Tremont ‘Temple this afternoon, After opening by saying that “No time could be more fitting for this gathering when at the other end “ the world the thunder of a destructive and san- gulnary war \s deafening the nations, while here we are preparing to settle the question of a vast transfer of power by an appeal to reason and orderly Procedure, under the sanction of a law implicitly accepted by eighty millions of people.” Mr, Hay went on to say that all the greatest Americans were earnest Advocates of peace. He cited the sayings of Washing- ton, Grant, Sherman and Lincoin and then continued “There has been no solution of con- Unulty in the sentiments of our Presi- dents on this subject up to this day. McKinley deplored with every pulse of his honest and kindly heart the advent of the war which he had hoped might not come in his day, and gladly hallea he earliest moment for making peace; and President Roosevelt has the same reless energy in the work of concord that he displayed when he sought peace and ensued it on the fleld of bast One Mandred Days of War, “No Presidents in our histery have een 80 faithful and so effictent as the Jaat two in the cause of arbitration and of every peaceful settlement of differ? ences, I mention them together bevause thelr work has been harmonious and consistent.” Mr. Hay spoke of the part the Unjted States has played in keeping the Pe ©ourt in Holland together, and con- Unued “I bes you to belleve, it is not by Way Of Boasting that I recall these in- cidents to your mnds, it Is rather as & profession of faith In a cause which the present Administration has deepiy at heart that | ask you to remember, fn the deliberations upon which you are entering, the course to which the American Government is pledged and which it has steadily pursued fof the last seven years.
