posed arbitration treaty with Great
Britain by the United States senate,
the delegates adopted the following
resolution before final adjournment:
I'VE, the delegates of st. Patrick's
Alliance of America, In convention
assembled, congratulate the New
Jersey State Council for the good
work they have accomplished during
the past year.
Resolved, that We pledge our
selves to cooperate with, and uphold
the hands of the New Jersey State
Council in their efforts to promote,
foster, and extend the interests of
our order, and we also extend to the
National Executive Council our
hearty congratulations for their eff
forts to further the cause of the st.
Patrick's Alliance in this and other
states.
THAT, while we believe with our
late matchless leader, Charles S.
Parnell, THAT the march of a people
should know no bounds, but absolute
freedom" we congratulate the Irish
Parliamentary Party on the progress
made by them in that direction dur
ing the past year, and hope the year
to come will see an Irish Parliament
on College Green, and with that end
in view, we pledge our moral and
financial support in the future as we
have done in the past.
Resolved, that we respectfully
call upon the United States senate to
reject the proposed Arbitration
Treaty with Great Britain. We be-
lieve this country can best preserve
peace with all nations by refusing to
enter into entanglements with any of
them, and that the new treaty with
England is designed to give the I'M
preston abroad that the United
States is her ally and is prepared to
fight on her side should she have a
quarrel with another power. We
believe, judging by the opinions ex-
pressed by prominent advocates Of
this treaty, on both sides of the
Atlantic, that instead of promoting
the peace Of the world, it would in
crease the possibility of war.
BE it further resolved, that we
congratulate the German-American
Alliance and kindred associations on
their stand in the matter of this
treaty, and pledge them our support
and assistance as far as lies in our
power, and that we cordially approve
of the movement to form an alliance
between all German and Irish socie-
ties for the purpose of combating
the efforts of England to gain a firm
er diplomatic hold on our country
and to make her lin the eyes of the
world) her ally and cats paw.
And be it further resolved, that
copies of these resolutions shall be
spread upon the minutes, given to
the Associated Press, and sent to the
United States senators from this
state, also to the President of the
United States, and the Secretary OF
State"

DEFEAT FOR PACKERS;
THEY MUST STAND TRIAL
Federal Judge Carpenter Denies Mo.
ton for Rehearing of Demurrers
in Short Decision.

Chicago, June 20.-In six words Fed
eral Judge George A. Carpenter
brushed aside the latest plea OF J. Og-
den Armour and the other indicted
packers for rehearing of their petit
ton to Quash the indictment charging
them with violating the Sherman anti
trust act. No written opinion had
been prepared by Judge Carpenter
and he gave no reasons for his find
Ing.
Clerk Charles A. Buell. had prepared
the written motion slip and when
Judge Carpenter entered his court
room the clerk read it.
The motion for rehearing is de-
nied." is all Judge Carpenter said
The disposition of the motion is be-
lieved to leave the packers without
any legal chance. SO far as evading
trial is concerned. The trial. it Is now
expected. will be reached next Octo-
Der.
The next move in the case, 1t Is I'M
derstood. will be for the packers to ap-
pear In court and enter a plea to the
Indictments.
The packers based their right to the
rehearing on the ground that the
criminal provisions of the Sherman
act were not definite enough to war
rant the return of indictments or
prosecution for an alleged violation
Of its inhibitions.
1t was also argued that the restraint
they were guilty Of was reasonable"
and, inasmuch as the Supreme court
had. in the Standard OIL and Tobacco
cares, read the word unreasonable"
into the statute, that they should be
allowed q rehearing of their points.

ond investigation
Begun.

Washington, June 81. - Little but
hearsay evidence was brought out to-
day when the senate Lorimer investi-
cation committee held it's initial hear.
ing in the inquiry that is to go deep
into the charges of corruption in the
election of the junior senator from II.
linois
Cyrus H. Mccormick, president OF
the international Harvester company,
was before the committee to tell what
he knew of the collection of a $780,
900 fund alleged to have used in
Lorimer's behalf. He testified that
Clearance S. Funk, general manager of
the company, had told him of activity
in behalf of Lorimer and that the cor
poration had been invited by Edward
Hines, of the Hines Lumber company,
to contribute to the election fund.
what did Mr.. Funk say to YOU"
asked John H. Marble, one of counsel
for the committee.
On Subject of Contribution.
"Mr. Funk came to me in my of.
fice," said Mr.. Mccormick, land said
that Mr.. Hines at the Union League
club in Chicago had approached him
on the subject of our company max.
ing a contribution. The object was to
obtain contribution to fund which
he understood was to be made to re-
coup expenditures in connection with
the election of Mr.. Lorimer Mr.. Funk
told him that his suggestion could not
be considered. l told him was glad
that he had declined and that prac.
tically ended the incident"
The witness said he had never met
Senator Lorimer. Asked if Mr.. Funk
connection with the collection Of the
fund Mr.. Mccormick replied that he
had brought in the name of MI Tilden
of the National Packing company. Mr..
Mccormick then told of subsequent in.
terviews with Mr.. Funk.
AS to the editorial in the Chicago
Record Herald concerning the alleged
fund of 100000 in behalf of Senator
Lorimer, the 'e1tness said that at about
the time the article appeared Mr.. Funl,
had told him he had given the facts
to H. H. Kohlsaat, the editor of that
paper, and said that he had advised
that Mr.. Kohlsaat be relieved from his
pledge of secrecy.
Mr.. Mccormick said that Funk had
told him of a second interview with
Hines and that Hines had sought him
out to tell him that he had not meant
that his suggestion of the $4,000 con
tribution should be taken seriously.
The committee continues to promise
that if possible the work will be con
cluded during the present session o.
| congress. 1t is realized, however, thai
in order to accomplish this result il
will be necessary to crowd on all pos
sible steam. Every person mentioned
in connection with the case will be
examined together with new witnesses
and it is believed that visits to botf
Chicago and Springfield will be neces
sary. Mr. Lorimer himself will b.
questioned most infinitely.
