WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The Pan
American conference practically fin
ished its work to-day, but will not
formally adjourn until tomorrow, and
may not adjourn sine die until Monday.
The report of the committee on inter
national law was adopted to-day,
with dissenting votes from two
countries - the United States and
Nicaragua. These resolutions, as
adopted, declare that foreigners
are entitled to enjoy all the civil rights
enjoyed by natives; and they shall be
accorded all the benefits of said rights
in all that is essential, as well as
in the former procedure, and the legal
remedies incident thereto, absolutely in
like manner as said natives. A nation
has no right to recognize in favor OF
foreigners any other obligations or
responsibilities than those which in
favor of the natives are established
in like cases, by the constitution
and the laws.". The report from the
committee on general welfare recon-
mending arbitration for the settlement
of all controversies between American
republics and European nations was
also adopted. There was some discus
sion over the supplemental report OF
the committee on general welfare relat-
ing to arbitration between American re-
publcS, and before it was settled re-
cess was taken. When the conference
reaSsembled after recess, Secretary
Blaine, in opening the afternoon SeS-
sion, said:
Mr. President, I am very happy to an
nounce that any vital difference upon any
question connected with the scheme or artl-
tration, which two hours ago might have
and the resolutions of Mr. Quintana have
been simply changed from being in per
with the treaty, of arbitration; T9a So 50
born together and if they die they will die
together; but we shall hore both their lives
will be perpetual. [Appluasel. shall read
the first. and as read each one the gentle
man opposite Inc (NIr CRUZ, the dIstihg,
uished gentleman from Guatemala, will read
the Spanish text.
''First.-That The principle of conquest shall
not during the continuance OF the treaty OF

''Second-1hat cessions OF territory MADE

tration shall be void if made uuder threats

"Third-Any nation from which such ces-
siOns snail be eXacted may demand that the
validity of the cessiOns made shall be sub
mitted to arbitration.
''Fourtn-Any remuneration of the right to

IF may now make short cut parliament
arly, | SHALL with the concurrence of my
honorable and highly valued friend, Mr.
Quintana, move that these be accepted as q
substitute for the first, second, third and
fourth resolutions OF the original text.

entire unanimity of the whole conference

those originally reported from the commit
tee.''
The resolutions were then adopted
and the conference adjourned to meet
at IL a. m. tomorrow. The conference
will close its labors to- morrow in time to
permit the members to start on the
proposed Southern tour late tomorrow
night.
