ARBITRATION TREdTF.
He Urges That Ii lie Acted On at the
Earliest Possible Moment.

IL has been the policy of the United
States since the foundation OF the govern
ment 10 cultivate relations Of peace
and amity with all the nations Of the
world. and this accords with my concep-
ton Of our duty now. We have cherish
ed the policy of non-interference with the
affairs of foreign governments wisely
inaugurated by Washington, keeping our
selves free from ENHANCEMENT, either as
allies or foes, content TO leave undisturb-
ed with them the settlemnt OF their
own domestic concerns. 1t Will be our
aim 10 pursue a firm and dignified for
elgn policy which shall be just and irn-
partial, ever watchful OF our national
honor and always insisting upon the en-
forcement Of the lawful rights of Ameri-
can citizens ever ywhere
We want no wars of conquest. We must
avoid the temptation Of territorial az
gression. War should never be entered
upon until every agency of peace has fall
ed. Peace Is preferable 10 war in almost
every contingency. Arbitration is the
true method Of settlement Of International
as well as local or individual differences
IL was recognized as the best means of
adjustment Of differences between en-
DlOyers and employees by the Forty-nint n
Congress IN 1886, and its application was
extended 10 our diplomatic relations bv
the unanimous cJEcurrence Of The Sen
ate and House OF the Fifty-first CONGRESS
in 1890. The latter resolution was ac-
cepted as the basis Of negotiations with
US by the British House OF Commons IN
1922 and upon our invitation treaty Of
arbitration between the United States and
Great Britain was signed at Washington
and transmitted TO the Senate for its rat
ihcaton in January last. Since this trea-
~ is clearly the result Of our own mia
tive, since II has been recognized as the
leading feature of our foreign policy
throughout our entire national history
the adjustment of difficulties by judicial
methods rather than force OF arms, and
since ii presents 10 the world he AlO-
rious example Of reason and reace not
passion and war controlling the relations
between two OF the greatest nations Of
the world, an example cert'tin TO he fol-
lowed by others. 1 respectfully urge the
earliest action OF the senate thereon.
not merely as 4 matter OF policy, but
as a duty 70 mankind. The importance
and moral influence Of the ratification Of
such treaty can hardly he overestimat-
ed in the cause OF advancing civilization.
10 may well engage the best thought of
the statesmen and people OF every coun-
try and cannot but consider it fortu-
nate that e was reserved to the United
States to have the leadership in so grand
. work.

A strange vehicle called cycle chair
has been constructed in London for the
ameer of Afghanistan. 1t consists of a
miniature carriage, body, upholstered in
green morocco, painted in brilliant
orange and green outside and emblazon-
ed with the ameer's arms. This is placed
in front of two parallel bicycles, to be
propelled by attendants, and is steered
by small wheel in front. Holes are
made in the floor through which the
ameer can exercise his legs on treadles
when he feels like it.-New York Sun.
