Market and, Twelfth Streets N.Snellenburg&Co trade to American vessels and requesting the Senators and Representatives from this Commonwealth to give this measure their undivided support. The canal committee's report made reference to the recent visit of Manager Stephens, of the Manchester Canal, and the effort to secure a direct steamship line to Manchester from this port. A vessel Is now loading here for Manchester, the first that ever did so, and it is regarded as an entering wedge in favoring the project.

The committee recommends to Congress that the government appoint a commission to appraise and report upon the advisability of purchasing the Albemarle and Chesapeake, the Chesapeake and Delaware, and the Delaware and Karitan Canals that they may be opened to the public and the toll now exacted abandoned. Several months ago a resolution to this effect was adopted by the members of the League. The committee on postal affairs reported especially with reference to the Increased speed which mail is now transferred between Philadelphia and European ports and were heartily commended for the work they had accomplished. A resolution supporting the so-called Loud bill which has passed the House of Representatives and provides for the correction of certain abuses relating to second-class mail matter, was submitted to the league by the committee for consideration. Regarding Overhead Wires.

The electrical committee reported that their work had been comparatively active during the year and then launched out into a discussion of the overhead trolley wire. In speaking on this subjectMr. Martlndale, who Is chairman of the committee, said: "I am of the opinion thnt some legislation should be passed either by the State Legislature or by City Councils to compel the removal of all 'dead' telephone or telegraph wires from every pole or mast in the city, and that in addition thereto It should be made a misdemeanor to carry electric light wires upon trolley poles, as they are a continual menace to life and property, and sooner or later fatal accidents or destructive fires will ensue." "I cannot refrain from urging upon the city the necessity of the prompt removal from trolley poles or Individual poles of all electric light cables whatsoever and compelling them to be placed underground, at least in the densely populated portions of the city, and to point out the fact that the city might be held liable for damages to life and property to a very considerable amount If some such legislation Is not speedily passed and enforced, for as far as I can learn, there Is as yet no legal warrant for permits to place electric light wires upon trolley poles within the limits of the city of Philadelphia, and I believe there Is much room for grave apprehension in the future." The freight commission then submitted a lengthy yet Interesting report showing advancement and activity on the part of the members. The report minutely discussed their relations with foreign Boards of Trade aud organizations of kindred nature. It ateo referred to the subject of improved ocean transportation, changes in classifications of goods and reductions of rates.

In conclusion the reort stated that the relations existing between the commission nnd various transportation companies had been for the most part cordial and that their disposition to work in harmony with the commission aud freely discuss and act upou questions affecting their mutual commercial welfare had been hi evidence at all times. The reports of the treasurer and the committee on finance were very encouraging, and besides large amounts of money having been expended in the Interest of the city's welfare the League had a surplus now on hand, after meeting all expenses, of besides having $10,000 invested in United States bonds. Address by Ex-Minister Snowden. After the reading of the reports Colonel A. Loudon Snowden, ex-Mlnlster to Spain, who was an Interested listener to the reports, addressed the meeting and said that he had no idea of the exhaustive character of the work of the League.

In reply to a letter written to him after a recent conference of several prominent citizens of Philadelphia, Ex-TJnlted States Senator George F. Edmunds yesterday sent a communication to Charles C. Harrison, provost of the University, giving his views on the pending arbitration treaty. After acknowledging the receipt of the letter, Mr. Edmunds says: The three principal criticisms of the treaty are: First.

That it commits this government to submitting to arbitration questions that may arise in connection with the Monroe doctrine. With sincere respect for the gentlemen who. It is said, have suggested this objection, I think that it is quite unfounded, and that those who have advanced It must have failed tc observe the careful language used in the treaty. The words upon which the criticism is based are found in article as follows: "All other matters In difference, in respect of which either of the high contracting parties shall have rights against the other under the treaty or otherwise." What, then, are "rights against the other?" To illustrate, I take it that the United States has no rights against Great Britain in regard to her opera-lions in Abyssinia; nor would she have any rights against us if we were to attempt to share, in the partition of Africa. In the case of Turkey, if we were to seize the whole of Asia Minor and establish peace and order there (as the British have done, in substance.

In Egypt), we should have invaded no right of any power except Turkey. The same is, of course, true In respect of our relations and conduct with the states of the Western Hemisphere, under the Monroe doctrine, or under any other policy thut we may think it just to adopt. It was, then, the clear and perfectly understood distinction between the rights of one nation against another, and their interests and policies in regard to other nations that doubtiess led to a separate treaty in regard to the Venezuelan question; for both governments knew that the affair could not possibly come within the scone of the general treaty. Yon will see. therefore, that the phrase of the treaty which is criticised Is the most apt possible to mark the boundary of arbitration, and that it leaves the Monroe doctrine unaffected.

The second objection Is the fear that the treaty may affect our attitude in regard to the Nicaragua ('anal, in which the interests of the United States are so deeply concerned. What I have already said disposes of that solicitude; I have not time to go into detail about it. The third, and last, objection I have heard 1s the supposed danger of leaving it to any European power to name an umpire in certain contingencies. It is enough to say that, so far as our considerable experience has gone In such matters, we have never had occasion to complain of the action of any sovereign in naming an umpire or in deciding a dispute. In the great arbitration treaty of 1871 we agreed that three members of the Geneva tribunal should be named by three sovereignsr-two of them European and that if any or all of these should fail to name' these members, the King of Sweden should name them all.

And in the same treaty we did not hesitate to submit the very Important question of our boundary on the racific coast to the Emperor of Germany. I am an intense supporter of the Monroe doctrine. I believe the building of the Nicaragua Canal under the auspices of the United States to be of urgent necessity. I believe most earnestly in international arbitration to the utmost extent that civilized, just and sHf-respecting nations can go, and I most earnestly hope that the Senate will ratify the treaty as It is proposed, as the first step, very great and auspicious, toward the attainment of peace among nations.

App went to Fargo, and as brother and sister occupied adjoining rooms together at the same hotel till her lawyer told her that If she wanted a divorce she had better send the young man home or move to a smaller town.
