it is now considered certain that media
ton and arbitration will have the chief
place in the work of the conference.
Further the opinion is unanimous that
the American and British delegates will
take the most important part in the
study of this question.
The conference decided today that all
delegates, including the technical repre-
sentatives, are to participate in the sit
tings and join in the discussions.
The date of the next session has not
yet been fixed. 1t depends upon the
progress which will be made by the COM
mitees.
NJ de Staal announced today that the
government of the Netherlands would
give an artistic fete on June 16 in honor

The Vote on the Treaty.

~ N analysis of the vote on the
ratification of the peace treaty
l shows that the question of the
ratification was by no means a party
question. While few democrats believe
that expansion should be extended to
the islands of Oceanica and all are of
the opinion that this country will rue
the day when it annexes the Philip
pines, yet a number of democratic SEN
ators voted for the ratification of the
treaty as the preliminary step to the
discussion of the question Of the proper
disposition of these islands. W. J.
Bryan himself advised the ratification
of the treaty while opposing expansion
believing that the ratification of the
treaty does not necessarily carry with
it the annexation of the islands.
The democrats and populists who
voted for the treaty were seventeen in
number, Allen, Butler, Clay, Faulkner
Gray, Harris, Jones (Nev.), Kyle, Ken
ny, Lindsay, McEnery, McLaurin, Nor
gan, Pettus, Stewart, Sullivan and Tel.
Ter. The republicans who voted against
! the treaty were Hoar, Hale, PettigreW
| and Rawlins.
| The treaty having been ratified, there
is little doubt that the Philippines Will
be formally annexed. The ihha bitants
of these islands seem unable to govern
themselves at present, and if they be.
come able to govern themselves they
will not be able to protect themselves
from greedy powers which are looking
for new territory. The islands will be
tax on the blood and treasure of this
country for scores of years.
