|THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

Arbitration Possibility.
CULL0M AGAINST AN EXTRA SESSION,
The Senator Does Not See Any Reason
Why Congress Should Have an Early
or Extra Session-The Impression Seems
to Be Growing That Senator Quay Will
Be Seated.

Washington, May 14.-Officials of the
state department are awaiting develop
ments in the peace conference. 1t is
known that the president is very much
impressed with the idea of intern alton
al arbitration and Secretary Hay and
other members of the cabinet also be-
lieve that some step should be taken
looking to an agreement for the con-
summation of this proposition. Secre-
tary Long especially has been an ear.
nest champion of this movement and
when the subject was discussed in cab
met meetings before the departure of
the American commissioners the opin-
ion was unanimous that tn e establish
ment of an arbitration board was the
only object which could reasonably
be expected. An official of the state
department said yesterday:
1t would be practically an impossibility for
| the nations of the world to agree upon a dis
| armament proposition. The only practical re-
suit which can be expected is the establish
ment of an international arbitration board to
be composed of representatives of all nations,
to sit upon and decide questions in dispute
| between the different nations. This will result,
believe, most satisfactorily. or course, when
ever matters of dispute referred to it the
representatives of the nations involved will be
| allowed no voice in the convention and the dis
puted subject will be decided without bias by
body OF diplomats capable of handling all in
ternational questions. i think it will prevent
war for all time.
CullOm Against an Extra Session.
Washington, May i4.-Senator Cullom
is still in the city looking after depart
mental affairs for constituents. With re-
gard to an extra session the senator said:
! do not believe there will be an early or ex-

| at this time for one. OF course something may
| develop later which will make the necessity II
we could get through earlier by coming here in

Senator Quay Likely to BE Seated.
Washington, May 1.-THE impression
seems to grow that Senator Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, will be seated by the
senate despite the precedents against
the seating of men appointed by the
governors of states when the state leg
islatures have failed to elect. The only
reason which is given for the general
belief that Quay will win out is his
great popularity with the members OF
the senate.

already been ordered to him. The
administration isn't a bit worried
about Gen. Otis, Notwithstanding the
rawlings of the hair trigger editors
about the danger he is in, by reason
of Aguinaldo's alleged preparation to
attack Manila with the largest Fill
pino army that has yet been on the
field On the contrary, the admins
tration knows that Gen. Otis would
regard it as the greatest good fortune
for Aguinaldo to march his army
against Manila, as it would give him
to get-an opportunity to fight
pitched battle with the entire Filipino
army, and put an end to the revolt
in short order. A little patience is
sometimes a good thing to have.
Gen. Otis is an experienced COM
mander. He knows what he wants
to do, the obstacles before him, and
that he can have anything he asks
for from the administration to &C
complish what he is there to do. He
has not had a single reverse since as
Stunning command in the Philippines.
Therefore, there is not a single valid
reason for supposing that every, Tom,
Dick and Harry knows better what
he needs and what he ought to have
than he does himself, while there is
every reason for confidently trusting
that he will succeed in due time in
putting down the revolt, and that
none of the direful predictions of his
failure will be realized.
