NJ. PaleanOtre, the French Envoy, who

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-At the meeting
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
day the following resolution, prepared by
Representative Phelps, relative to the
Congo conference, was adopted by a vote
of 8 to A.

gates Cf the United States in the so called
Congo conference, while carefully guarded,

combination or movement outside of the
American continent.

nority Of the committee:
That the House of Representatives, heed

dom Of a free people have hitherto enabled
Us to maintain, do hereby explicitly record
their dissent from the act Of the President Of
the United States IN accepting the invitation
Cf Germany and France to participate in the

OF declining the same, as tending to a rcver-
sal Of our traditional, established and ap-
proved foreign policy.
