Resolutions In 1:. Favor Adopted at 3
Baltimore Peace Fleeting.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 24.——The following
resolutions were adopted at a peace meet.
lng in McCoy hall, Johns Hopkins uni-
versity, after speeches in their favor by
Joseph Packard, Jr ,who introduced them,
President Gilman Of Johns Hopkins uni-
versity, President Patton of Princeton
university and others:
“This meeting declares its aloyalty to
I .- the principle of arbitration in the adjust-
ment of international differences, and its
pleasure in observing the recent progress
.of the governments of Great Britain and
the United States of America! toward the
honorable and peaceful solution of com-
plex and threatening questions.
“The meeting rejoices that the govern-
ments of these two countries have come so
near to the adoption of a tieaty which pro-
' 1 ides for the settlement of such differences
as may possibly a11se in the intercom se of
these nations during the next five years,
and expresses the hope t 1211'. the complete
acceptance or this treaty will not long be
delayed.
“We earnestly deshe that action on the
pending treaty be not postponed to am
other congress, and if delay 15 found neces-
sary that the senate relieve the pi Ofound
anxiety of their countrymen by giving at'
an early day an unquestionable assuIance
that the pIinciple of arbitration between
the United States and Great Br1tain is
heartily accepted.”
Bosolutimis Adopted at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—An arbitra-
tion conference under the auspices of the
Universal Peace union was held in Inde—
pendence hall. Addresses were delivered
by William J. Menu of New York and the
. Rev. George Dana. Boardman of this city.
The following 1esolut-ion was adopted:
“Resolved, That we hail the signing of
the Anglo- American a1 bitration treaty by
the eminent Iepresentatives of Great Blit-
ain and the United States as a crowning
event in statesmanship, wisdom and peace,
and
“Resolved, That while we regret the
delay and the postponement in its ratifica-
tion, it in nowise detracts from the high
credit due the present administration for
its presentation to the senate, and we urge
its prompt consideration and ratification
by the promised extra session of congress,
without any amendment that will in any
wise weaken it, assured that the incoming
administration will thus share' In the glory
. that belongs to every actor in such a con
spicuous contribution to universal peace. ”
LBB STILL IN CHARGE.
Reports Concerning the Consul General
Denied In \Vashlngton.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Inqulry was
made at the White House today as to the
foundation for the published story which
has been repeated in various forms within
the past few days to the effect that General
Lee, consul general at Havana, has re-
signed or intends to resign if he cannot se-
cure certain demands he has made upon
the state department and also that he has
called for an American warship to support
him. In reply Mr. Thurber, secretary to
the president, stated positively that there
was not a scintilla of truth in the story,
either as to the resignation or the call fOI
a warship. ‘ _
The Pacific Railways.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24,—Members of the
house committee on Pacific railroads have
practically decided to abandon the attempt
to bring up in the house this session the
bill for the establishment of a commission
to settle the debts of the Pacific roads to
the government. When application was
made to the committee on rules for a day
to consider the bill, the committee wanted
assurances that the opponents of the plan
in the senate would not make the action
of the house, if it passed the bill, a. waste
of time by filibustering against the meas-
ure. No such assurances could be given,
and there will probably be no more effort
.to bring up the bill.
Silver lIIen Issue an Address.
WASHINGTON, Feb. flair—The silver Re-
publicans in the senate and house have
signed an address to the people calling a
meeting of a “provisional national com-
mittee of the silver Republican party” to
meet in Chicago Tuesday, June 8, 1897,
for the purpose of calling a national con-
vention of all silver Republicans and those
whovwill co-operate with them in political
action “until the great monetary issue is
settled and settled right.”
