MIR. EACoN,s RESOLUTION.

The resolution which Mr. Bacon, OF
Georgia, introduced into the Senate on
Thursday declaring that this government
is opposed TO war and favors settling all
differences with other governments by
international arbitration, ought TO be
adopted by the Senate. This is a par
ticularly favorable time for adopting it.
The Senate has just refused 10 ratify the
Anglo-American treaty OF arbitration and
the world is liable TO draw the infer
ence from that fact that We are a quar-
relsome people looking for difficulties
with othe' nations. No greater ihjus-
tice could be done the American people
than such n conclusion.
Our people are conservative and in
cllned to peace above all things, and 1t
would be cruel wrong to them for the
impression TO go out amongst mankind
that they arc ill-tcmpered and quarrel
some.

OUR MUSIC FEAST.

We congratulate the Wednesday Cluo
Of Richmond on its splendid achievement
1T has given to the community perhaps
the most delightful music feast II has ever
enjoyed. 1t has also demonstrated the fact
that II Is a working club. No organiza-
tion can make such delightful music as
the Wednesday Club makes without the
most careful study. The club has given
us a fine exhibition of its Skill and while
we were all delightfully."- entertained, we
were not unmindful Of the work and
training that were necessary to make
such an exhibition The visiting artists
and the orchestra also contributed their
full share to the feast. and we are pleased
to know that the visiting soloists were
quite as much pleased with the chorus as
the chorus was with them, which Is 10
say a great deal.
There is no longer a question as to the
status of the Wednesday Club In this
community. 1t is an institution thorough
" established. and it will go on to greater
triumphs until it has transformed hlch-
mond into one Of the great musical CEN
tres Of the country. That is the ambition
of the Wednesday Club. and to this end
will 1t work. More than that, we beieVe
that II will be sustained by the COM
munity.

H4VEMEYER AND SEARLES.
The Sugar Kings viii Probably be Put Be-

NEW YORK. May 7.-IIepry o. Have
never the millionaire sugar king, and
John e. Seares. the venerable secretary
OF the sugar trust, have received no
tlce from Washington. which practically
is a polite invitation to come and abide
for a bit behind the bars In the common
iail OF the District of Columbia. Ihey
received the notice yesterday from
Prosecuting Attorney Davis, OF the DIS
trict of Columbia, informing them that
they will have to put in an appearance
on NAV Il and be tried for contempt OF
the United States Senate.

are decided as was that of the contumA-
cious witness, Chapman, and Prosecuting
Attorney Davis IS confident that such
will be the outcome Of the trial.
The case Of Havemeyer and Searles Is
a parallel one with that Of Broker FL
yerton r. Chapman. who was taken be-
fore the United States Senate inyesu-
eating committee and Intellectually ques-
toned as TO the contributions made TO
tho Presidential Golfers of 1892. Have

ground that. although the selection or

For this refusal Mr. Havemeyer. Mr..
Searles, Broker Chapman. and Core
spondents Edwards and Shriver were
charged with contempt OF the Senate.
Chapmans case was taken as the test
case. and he was sentenced 10 thirty
days I'm Jail for refusing 10 answer GER
tain questions. The case was appealed.
but the United States Supreme Court az
frmed the decision OF the tower court
and Chapman went 70 jail.
SO 1t Is thought that the notice TO have
meyer and Searles is but polite invita-
ton for them to 80 TO Washington and
abide by the same result.
