London, July 23-The fourteenth
conference of the interparliamentary
union vas opened in the royal gallery
of the palace of Westminster. Ad-
herents of international peace from
all the parliaments of Europe as well
as several of those of the western
hemisphere were present, but hardly
had the conference opened, when
amidst a scene of considerable excite
ment, Professor Maxim kovaleshy,
member of the lower house of the
Russian parliament, announced that
he and his colleagues representing
until Sunday the youngest parliament
in the world, would be obliged to
withdraw in consequence of the dis
solution of the body they were Off
cially appointed to represent. There
were about 500 delegates present, the
American representation being headed
by Congressman Richard Bortholdt,
while William j. Bryan occupied a
seat on the platform.
Lord Weardale (Sir Philip Stan
liminary sentences of welcome being
especially addressed to the Russian
delegates, whereupon the delegates
rose in a body, and, turning toward
the delegation of the late parliament,
cheered them to the echo Lord
Weardale also incidentally men
toned President Roosevelt as having
work of peace Premier Campbell
Bannerman in reply reminded his
hearers that King Edward had always
been a great advocate of peace. The
British government, he said, was in
entire sympathy with the object of
the conference whose work had al
ready aroused among the nations a
strong feeling in favor of peace. The
world had too far long been nothing
less than huge military camp.
The premier especially greeted the
members of the Russian parliament
present and also paid a tribute to
Emperor Nicholas who had done so
much towards the enhan cement of
ideas of peace. 1t could, he thought,
be safely asserted that the Russian
parliament, although dissolved, was
sure to again come into existence.
Then the PREMIER, in a sudden access
of enthusiasm, shouted: La Douma
est mort! Viva La Douma!" C.The
Russian parliament is dead" Long
live the Russian parliament" The
delegates rose to their feet and a
storm of cheering continued for a
couple of minutes. In conclusion the
premier said he hoped that at the
next peace conference at The Hague.
general act wouldt be drawn up pro-
viding for the submission of all ques-
tons of dispute without restrictions,
to The Hague tribunal for the uni
versal good of humanity
William j. Bryan offered the follow
ing resolution: eff a disagreement
should occur between contracting par
ties, which in the terms of the pro-
posed arbitration treaty need not be
submitted to arbitration, they shall
before declaring war or engaging in
any hostilities whatever, submit the
question to The Hague court or some
other impartial international trib-
unal'
The resolution will be discussed by
the union.
Congressman T. Il. Burton, of Ohio,
vice president of the American dele
cation, moved the inclusion in the
treaty that questions relating to
consular and diplomatic privilege and
the collection of debts shall be sub
mitted to arbitration. This was
agreed to.
