NEW YORK, March 1.-THE citizens
mass meeting, called for the purpose of
indorsing the ratification of the arbi-
tration treaty between this country and
Great Britain, at Cooper Union tonight,
through the speech Of Civil Just
Wauhope Lynn, was turned from a
meeting of peace into one of turmoil
For time it appeared as if the police
would have to interfere to restore Cr-
der. Although the excitement was
great, the meeting concluded without
any serious disturbance.
The trouble started when Judge Lynn
captured the meeting by Offering an
amendment denouncing the resolutions
favoring arbitration. President Seth
Low refused to put Judge Lynn's
amendment to the meeting, and vote
being taken on the resolutions, al
though declared carried. they were
really voted down.
Up to the time that Judge Lynn
came forward the audience mildly ap-
proved of the sentiments expressed by
Bishop Potter, Mayor Strong, President
Low and ex-Secretary Charles S. Fair
child. But in few minu-es after the
CIVIL justice had secured the floor
threefourths Of the audience had de-
clared their opposition to the ratiflca-
tion of the treaty.
The resolutions which were read by
Charles s. Fairchild, ex-secretary Of
the treasury, conclude as follows:
Resolved, That, in accord with our fell
low citizens throughout the land, we respect
tully petition our national senate for the rat
1hcation of the treaty as signed by the rep
resentatives of the high contracting parties
Resolved, That we heartily concur in the
declaration of our honored chief magistrate
that the treaty presents to the world the
glorious example of reason and peace, not
passion and war, controlling relations between
two of the greatest nations of the world
an example certain to be followed by Others
and in his further unqualified declaration
that the Importance and moral influence of
the ratification of such a treaty can hardly
be overestinated in the cause of advanc-
ing civilization -
Judge Lynn asked permission to
speak, and launched into a bitter at
tack on England, which the audience
applauded loudly. He said Tonight

Judge Lynn offered an amendment to
the resolutions, requesting the senate
to reject the treaty and declaring:
We respectfully submit to the senate of
the United States that the recent history and
the present international relations of England
justify the belief that she is not acting in
good faith as a friend of peace, but is
simply seeking free hand and the moral
support OF the United States in policies and
enterprises OF which the American people
strongly disapprove-proof of which is sup
piled by the action of her naval forces in aid

OF quieting the most noisy and excited,
