DELAGOA BAY ARBITRATION
Lord Salisbury Says Everything Has
 Been Done to Hasten It.

London, March 9.-Baron Wenlock, in the house of lords today, asked the govern gnent what steps are being taken to hasten the Delagoa Bay arbitration proceedings and whether the government is prepared to join the United States government in pressing for an immediate award. The premier, Lord Salisbury, replying, agreed that the delay was most lamentalole. He said: We should be very glad if this liti- gation could be ended The tribunal is mot subject to the government in any way whatever. It Is quite true that we have again and again under various govern ,ments tried what unofficial representations could do Ito induce greater speed of action. We are informed uhat the tribunal declined ito admit its responsibility foC the delay. The president expressed the belief that it was due, not to the tribunal, but to the parties concerned"
 Continuing, the premier said he frankly admitted that tine governments chances of ltsking action were very small. The delay, he added, was very unfortunate, not only on its bearings the fortunes of the lti- gants, but in the discredht which it re- flected upon the principle of arbitration, from which they had hoped great things
 Lord Salisbury then remarked: We may be glad to do anything possible to hasten the result but 1t is beyond our power to coerce the action of the tribunal

SENATE COMMITTEE
 AGREES ON A REPORT
IContinued From First Page.l

LContinued From First Page.l Britain confers no right on the United -Sta-tes- as to anything in Nicaragua or Cos ta Rica.t
 'Then this convention in article g." he continues, proceeds to define and promul- gate into an agreement, intended to be worldwide in its operation, the general principle of naturalization established in article of the ClaytonIBulwer treaty on the basis of the treaty of Constantinople relating to the Suez canal. Nothing is giv- en to the United States in article 2 of the convention now under consideration nor Is anything given to us that is not given or denied to all other nations"
 Argued Specifically
 The senator then takes up specifically the proposed amendment, saying:
 But the committee insists that under articles and 10 of the treaty of Constanti- nople provision is made in favor of Fur key that is not secured to the United States in the. convention"
 Quoting the articles of that treaty re- ferred to, the senator says by way of con- ment
 If we had a possession that correspond
 
 western coast of Arabia the force of the proposed amendment would be more ap- parent. But we have no such possession in or near Nicaragua, and have no one to re- serve a special right to defend it or any other possession. Turkey made no reserya fion of a right to defend Constantinople when she reserved the right to defend her coast on the Red Sea, which is an approach to the canal. The undersigned does not ad- init the proposition that when we agree that the Nicaragua canal shall not be for titled as point of invitation for hostiH- ties or a prize for war-like ambition" we must also provide for the right to defend our own country or the coast of California by express provisions in a treaty with Great Britain removing objections that may arise from the Clayton -Bulwer treaty Such a reservation is entirely superfiuous and un- necessary, while it carries with it an ac- Acknowledgement in favor of Great Britain of right of control over our national sov- ereignty that she does not now claim and that could not be inferred from the mere silence of the treaty as to such possible right.
 1.-The only legal effect of the amendment, if it has any effect upon our national rights or powers, is to annul the naturalization of treaty under consideration. If this is it's purpose, it will be more satisfactory to strike out that article and declare the abrogaton of the unexecuted parts of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty."

FIRST LECTURE
Of University Extension Course Deliv-
 cred Last Night

The Birmingham center of the University Extension course had reason to congratu- late itself upon the large and cultured gathering at Pollock-Stephens last night when Professor George E. Fellows, who fills the history chair at the Chicago University gave his first lecture of the six which hs is to deliver on 'Trhe Close of the Gen. tury." It was an audience made up of the scholarly element of Birmingham society
 Professor Fellows topic was "The Pres. ent German Empdre." After skeitching tersely the outline history of Germany From the time Of Charlemagne, wGren that hHustraouS emperor was crowned by the pope in the year 800, the lecturer began ito describe and discuss in detail German con- oitlons dating from the year 1866, when Prussia and Austria met on the field of battle.
 Prof. Fellows had been a student both in Germany and in France, and knew, there fore, from actual contact the characteris- tics of those two nations.
 Coming to the reign of the present Ger man emperor, William H., the lecturer gave a clear and interesting sketch of Germany as 1t Is today. He explained the theory and system of militarism and, while not giving the system his approval in express terms, showed how it had worked we'll for the German empire.
 Admlring Bismarck, and speaking kindly of the old emperor and his son Frederick, Professor Fellows reserved his most glow ing words for William II. He objected to the expression, "the young emperor" for the German emperor Is 42 years old. Will liam was called a rattle-brained fellow when he became emperor, but in recent years he had proved himself to be a strong and forcefuul ruler. Professor Fellows de- scribed the emperor as scholar a poet an artist. and altogether the best equipped and most tactful monarch in Europe The fn1 k1A~ speeches to show how passionately he be- lieved in his power-in the divine right of kings.
 Notwithstanding his fmperious spirit and policy no one in Germany not even the members of the ministry, knew SO we'll the conditions and needs of his subjects as William did He was ever watchful and was perhaps the first monarch to take steps dn a practical way to improve the condition of the wage working class. Z
 Professor Fellows made this comparison: 'The old emperor had will, but not intellect. Frederick, his son, had intellect but lacked will. The present emperor has both will and intellect"
 In concluding, Professor Fellows spoke eloquently of Germany as leading in civili- zation, In industry and in commerce, all the other nations of Continental Europe.
 After a brief rest Professor Fellows in vited all present to ask questions, cross examination being one of the helpful fea- lures of the university extension plan. His audience was not slow to respond. Ques- ton after question was asked and the lec- turer answered promptly
 The next lecture by Professor Fellows will be given Friday night of next week, and the theme will be Italy.
