Major Charles McCauley and two or three military and naval attache!, waa ushered into the presence of the disaemi-clrcl- tinguished assemblage of legislator and parliamentarians. Representative Bartholdt introduced the assemblage to the president, and stated in brief tha object of their visit. Representative Bartholdt said: This orgattf ration looks upon you, Mr. President, as a friend of Us cause, ever since yon by actual performance, recognised the Hague congress and had referred to it the Venezuela controversy, though you had yourself been asked to arbitrate. It ie now generally admitted that by your action. Together with the Piua Fund precedent, which also occurred underyour administration you saved the lire of that great International tribunal. The American people being committed by those and many other precedents to the prinrtplea of International arbitration, It. la the belief of those present that the people, irrespective of party, would applaud your the initiative In the conveningtaking of a second of govern menu which we hop and trust, would result In the completion of the work begun at The Hague In the negotiation of further arbitration treaties and In the establishment of an Internationa1 body for the consideration of all differenree arising between states. for peace and good will among the nations of the world. It is a matter of gratification to all Americans that we have had the honor of receiving you here as the nation's guests You are men skilled ln the practical work of government in your several countries; and this fact add weight to your championship of the cause of international Justice. I thank you for yonr kind allusions to what the government of tbe United States has accomplished for the policies you have at heart, and 1 assure you that this government's attitude will continue In reference thereto. We are even now taking steps to secure arbitration treaties with ail other governments who are willing to enter into them with us. In response tomir resolutions. I shall at an early date ask the other nations to Join ln a second at The Hague. (Applause.) Icigreas feel, as I am sure you do, that our efforts should take the shape of pushing forward toward completion of the work already begun at Tha Hague and that whatever is now don should appear not as something divergent therefrom but as a consequence thereof. At the first conference at The Hague several questions ware left unsettled and It has expressly provided that there should be a second conference. A reasonable time has elapsed and 1 feel that your Union has shown sound Judgment iu concluding that a seoond conference ihhnld now be called to carry some step farther toward completing the work of the first It would be visionary to expect too immediate success for the great' cause you are championing, but very substantial progress can be made If we strive with resolution and good sense toward the goal of securing among the nations of earth, as among the individuals of earth nation, a Just sanae of responsibility In each towards others and a Just recognition in each of the rights of others. The right and the responsibility must go hand lq hand. Our effort must be unceasing both to secure ln each nation full acknowledgment of the rights of others and to bring about ln each nation an ever growing sense of Its own responsibilities. At an early date I shall issue the call for tha conference you request. (Applause.) I again greet you and bid you welcome and wish you God apeed In your eforts for tha common good of mankind." At the conclusion of the addresses President and Mrs. Roosevelt personally received and exchanged greetings with each of the delegatee and the ladles present, the introductions being made by Colonel Bromwell and Major McCauley. The reception was held in the Blue room, the guests passing from there through the Red room into the Slate dining room, where a buffet luncheon was served.
