BRISTOL, England, Jan 27.-By
an overwhelming majority of 1871

session here today. adopted resolu-

service in Great Britain.
The vote on the resolutions was
as follows:
Against consumption, 1.796.OO0
For CONSUMPTION, 5000.
The announcement of the result
of the ballot was greeted with
cheers which lasted for five minutes.
Though the conference yesterday
adopted resolutions pledging its
support to the government in prose-
cutting the war to a final conclusion
in action in condemning compulsory
military service was a foregone con-

speakers opposed the resolutions
and urged the delegates representing

port the government. or, ar least, re-
frain from active opposition.
William G. Anderson, president Of
the conference and member of par
lament from the Attercliffe divis-

resolutions. He declared proposals
for compromise were worse than
