Cleveland, O., April 4.-The Irish
nationalists of this city have adopted
resolutions protesting against an arbi-
tration treaty between the United
States Of America and Great Britain.
The views of George Washington rela-
tive to the danger Of alliances with
foreign powers is cited and the opin-
ion is expressed that such treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain would be an undesirable con-
dition to the others of the European
powers and would tend to disrupt and
destroy the friendly relations that now
exist between the United States and
those countries. A copy of the pro-
test will be sent to Senators Foraker

COLONIAL DANES
GO TO FREDERICK
TO UNVEIL BRONZE TABLET
THAT WILL MARK THE FORT

Deeds to Georgia Property At
trncted Attention.
The members of the Georgia Society
of Colonial Danes of America, which
held the first session of their annual
convention in Savannah at the De
Soto yesterday, will spend to-day at
Frederick, where they will go to un-
veil the tablet marking the remains of
the old fort erected at that place by
Gen. Oglethorpe.
To the remains of the fort the So
ciety has added a small cannon which
was given by a gentleman in whose
possession it had been for many years.
The tablet to be unveiled is hand
some one of bronze, which was on ex-
hibition in this city a few weeks ago.
1t is expected that the ceremonies
will be attended by nearly all of the
members who are attending the con-
vention. Many of these went to
Brunswick, from which the trip to
Frederick will be made, yesterday aft
ernoon, while the remainder of them
will leave carly this morning, going in
a special car of the Central of Georgia,
- al hsa
courtesy of Col. Alexander r. Lawton.
The car will be attached to S. A. L.
train No. i3, returning in the after
noon it will be a part of A. G. L. train

Among those who left for Brunswick
were Mrs. w. W. Gordon, Mrs. Joseph

what VIII BE Done.
The ceremonies there will consist of
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Vim, an address
by Mrs. j. j. Wilder explaining the
meaning of the occasion, and an adj
dress by Hon. P. A. Stovall. The
master of ceremonies of the occasion
will be Mr. Charles Wylly, of Bruins
wick. His selection for this office was
particularly fitting. His grandfather
was born in the former home of Gen.
Oglethorpe, which is near the fort. 1t
is hoped that the ceremonies will be
concluded in time to allow the despatch
of dinner, which will be of the picnic
order, and walk to the little church
and the old cemetery, which are no
great distance from the fort.
Tomorrow morning the society will
take up the business where it was left
off yesterday, the most important mat
ter to come before the meeting being
the election of the officers who were
nominated yesterday. These are as
follows:
