Il. Resolved, That our most heartfelt

dent of the United States, on the occasion
of the attack made upon his life.
III. Resolved, That we, as dutiful citi-
zens Of our adopted country, the United

dared to raise his Sacrilegous hand again

was compelled to escape to st. Peters
burg. Therefore. we unanimously pro-
test. that he who dared to attempt an at
tack upon the life of one so venerable and
beloved by the people of his country as
onr Hon. William Mckinley, was Pole.
"IV. Resolved. That we are assured.
that the examples of loyalty and love for
peace and independence set by our most
memorable Pulaski and Koscnsko. who
fought in this grand republic could not
be blcmishcd by one of Polish birth pos
sessing trne Polish love for freedom, in
dependence and loyalty TO the head of

". Resolved. That we wish to impress
upon the American nation in general.
that. should this miscreant's ancestry
lead to the slightest link to prove him to
he Of Polish lineage, we emphatically de-
clare that he is one. in whom the Rus
slams and Jewish anarchism is 50 i'm
pressed that he no longer is worthy Of
being classed Pole, nor is worthy of

ton of the new isthmian canal conven-
ton was begun and concluded yesterday
by Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador, al conference

touches upon its final report, which will
recommend the construction of the Mica

question. Before Ambassador Choate
left London on leave of absence he ad-
yised Secretary Hay that an agreement
had been reached ON all points of differ
ence with the British sovsrnment re-
spscting the canal convention, and'
while Lord Pauncefote was thus antici-
pated, his message to the secretary yes
terday was none the less acceptable ana
important The fact that official neso-
t:ations were begun and ended yester-
day only shows how carefully and WIN
what tact Mr.. Hay and the British min
ister for foreign affairs conducted the
preliminary negotiations.
Lord Pauncefote assured Mr.. Hay that
he is provided with such extensive au-
thority that it will not even be necessary
To cable to London the text of the treaty
