PILGRIMS SOCIETY ON
BOTH SIDES OF OCEAN
Cable Messages of Good VIII
Passed Between England and
America During Banquets.
ALL IN BEHALF OF PEACE

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Interchanges OF
cable messages of good VIII with the Eng
lish Pilgrims at supper at the Carlton
Hotel, London, formed a striking feature
of the banquet given at Delmonico's to-
night by the Pilgrims o. the United States
in honor of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand
the British ambassador. Bishop Potter pre-
sided. There set with him at the guests
table Sir Henry r E. Armstrong, Capt
w. II. Brownson, L. S. N; James Beck. of
Pennsylvania; Gen. Alfred L. Bates,
Thomas barclay, of Paris and London, for
Nor Attorney General John w. Griggs. As
sociate Justice George Gray, Morris X. Jes-
sup, Col. y L. Mills Rev. d. Parker Nor
gan, former Attorney General Wayne Mac
Veagh. Rear Admiral Frederick Rodgers,
Sir Percy SanGerson. Rev. Ernest NJ. Stirch.
President Woodrow Wilson. of Princeton
University, Mai. Gen. Joseph Wheeler and
Lieut.. Ge.. =. y. Il. HOUES.
The DanCueting hall was decorated with
great prOfusiOn OF intertwlned British
and American flags. Just before the din
ner began the following cable was sent by
Secretary Wilson TO Walter Neef, of Lon
don: hello there. Whenever you are
ready we are. Hoop-La.'
Bishop Potter sent this to Lord Roberts:
Lord RoDerts-We reciprocate your good
wishes and return hearty greetings. God
speed the good work OF the pilgrims and all
efforts TO bring the Anglo-Saxon race to-
gether We hope you will pay US the
promised visit"
Bishop Potter read a message of regret
from President Roosevelt and a compli-
mentary cable from Sir Thomas Upton,
and introduced as the first speaker Sir
Henry Mortimer DuTand. He predicted
that good feeling would continue to grow.
There was nothing in England but good
will for America. He mentioned Ireland,
and said that with an Irishman directing
the foreign policy of England, another
commanding the army and another the
Channel fleet, England's position could not
be perilous.
Mr. Griggs dwelt on the cordial relations
existing between the two countries. Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, the last speaker, said
it was not blood that bound the two coun-
tries together, nor was il speech-it was
that we thought the same thoughts and
understood the same shade of thought.
President WisoC said he did not believe our
relations with Germany would be so cordial
if we spoke the same language and under
stood what their papers said about us.
During the progress of the dinner press
dispatches were read which told of the
peace negotia tons between the Russian and
japanese powers having reached that stage
where peace is practically assured.
