washington. March i2-Dear Sir: A
widespread desire has been manifested
both in the United States and in Great
Britain for the establishment between
these two countries of a permanent Sys-
tenn of arbitration.
with view to the accomplishment
of that end, we hereby invite you to attend
a national conference to be held in the
city of Washington on Wednesday and
Thursday, the 22d and ed of April next,
to express the general conviction that such
q system OF arbitration should be speed
lily provided for by the proper authorities,
and with the most comprehensive applica-
ton practicable.
1T is earnestly desired that all parts
this conference, and in order that this may
be assured, similar invitation has been
sent to representative men, irrespective
of party or creed, in every state and ter
ritory il the United States, the combined
membership of the two houses Of congress
being taken as general basis of numbers
and apportionment.
Assuming that you share our belief as
to the Importance Of the end proposed, we
deem it unnecessary in this commrnica ton
to enter into an extended statement on the
subject By repeated acts, as well as by
repeated declara tons, our government
has appeared before the world in advocacy
of international arbitration as measure
conformable to our interests and the gen.
eral interests of our institutions. as well
a. to the cause of general justice and CIV
ilization. To this effect, patriotism.
philanthrophy, craftsmanship and religion
have spoken as if with one voice.
In combining this movement to the pro-
motion Of arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain we are not I'M
concerned for the wider application of the
principle involved. But, taking into con-
sideration the Importance and the value
Of practical results, ii has seemed wise
to concentrate our immediate efforts upon
the two great English-speaking peoples"

THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
Its Session Repiete with Sensational In
cident Comes to An End.

Its Session Repiete with Sensational In
cident Comes to an End.
Frankfort. Ky, March 1S.-The strug-
gle for United States senator from Ken
tucky, which has just closed, will go
down into history as the most remark
able contest ever waged in any state
in the union. The contest really be-
gan and was waged at the same time
the campaign for state officers was be-
ing conducted. Although there were
numerous candidates for the nominal
ton by each party caucus. no one had
any show from the start except DR..
Godfrey G. Hunter for the republican
nomination and Senator Blackburn for
the democratic.
The two houses were evenly divided
on joint ballot, the republicans having
majority of six in the house of rep
resentatives and the democrats con-
trolling the senate by the same ma
jority. From the beginning of the ses-
sion it was evident that acrimony and
bitterness would govern each body:
and to those who knew the disposition
and quick temper of Kentuckians the
gravest results were feared. From the
first ballot to the last this remarkab Bile
contest has held the interest of the en-
tire country. Replete from start to fin
ish with sensational incidents, the final
act in this great political drama was
a fitting denouement. And the spec
tacle of legislative body of great
commonwealth being guarded under
martial law by the state troops will
60 down to posterity as lasting stain
upon Kentucky's escutcheon.
The entire session has been a bungle-
some and stupendous failure. Primarily
the chief business of the body, the pro-
vision of proper means and the enact
ment of just laws for the conduct and
administration of government, has been
neglected and cast aside. And, lastly,
the election of representative of the
state in the highest body in the land has
failed of accomplishment. The lament
able feature of Tuesdays procedure
was the failure to pass the revenue bills.
Ten minutes would have suffced to re-
establish the credit of the state and pro-
vide for coming contingencies. But
every effort was defeated.
The urgent necessity for the passage
of the revenue bills may be gained from
the fact that the present indebtedness
Of Kentucky is $4,000 and the calcC-
lated indebtedness by next June ST.
100000. Her judges, sheriffs, con-
tractors, her eleemosynary institu-
tons, her many employees will be de-
prived of their just dues, for the banks
. throughout the state now refuse to
cash warrants. One of two things is
ineyitab le-either an extra session CT
the legislature must be convened or the
state credit will be seriously impaired.
