Jones, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Colonel R. H. Pratt of the Carlisle Indian School, Alice Fletcher, General Whittlesey, Hon. Darwin R. James and other members of the Board of Indian Commissioners, Rev.
Dr. Lyman Abbott and Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler. Senator Evarts was a constant anl deeply interested attendant for years, and the late General Armstrong of the Hampton School and also the late Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, gave the conference at many sessions the benefit of their ripe experience, wide knowledge and keen sympathy in the eause,: of Indian betterment. One of the first "platforms" adopt ed by the conference declared in favor of the enlargement of the system of Indian elucation, including a plan of industrial training, for the principal of self support, the abolishment of the free-ration system and other pauperizing methods, for the division of land in severalty and the introduction of all Indians into full rights of American citizenship. In the promotion of such reforms -as these, with others that have suggests ed themselves from year to year, the conference has devoted itself up to the present time, and has had the satisfaction of seeing many of them adopted. In 1895 another series of annual assemblies was inaugurated at Lake Mohonk, these being in the interest of international arbitration and world wide peace. ' These conferences are held in the latter part of May, or the first week in June, and their fame and influence have become even greater and more wide-reaching than the
meetings in behalf of the Indians. Among the leading spirits in these arbitration conferences from the first have been such distinguished men as Edward Everett Hale, Robert Treat Paine, Benjamin F. Trueblood, Edwin Ginn and Edwin D. Mead, all of Boston; Everett P. Wheeler, Austin Abbott, Marshall H. Bright, Prof.

A Prominent Factor in All the Proceedings of This Unique Conference.
For more than twenty years Lake Mohonk, located in one of the wildest and most picturesque localities in the Catskill region of New York, has been the scene of annual assemblies for the promotion of certain humane and philanthropic interests which have given the place a world-wide fame and influence. The first of these assemblies or conferences, as they are called, was held in Oct., 1883, in the interests of the Indians. These Indian conferences have been held regularly at Lake Mohonk every year since, always in October, bringing together for three days at each session some two hundred men and women carefully chosen from all parts of the coun
try, invited thither and entertained by Mr. Albert K. Smiley, owner of the Mohonk House, because of their expert knowledge of Indian affairs and their special interest in the promotion of reforms in Indian management. These Indian conferences crrew out
has long been identified in other ways. He has been a member of the Board of Indian Commissioners since 1879, under appointment from President Hayes. He has also been intrusted by the government with several important commissions connected with the Indian service. In 1889 he was chairman of a commission charged with the selection of a reservation for the Mission Indians in Siuthern California. "The conferences will be held," Mr. Smiley declared at the first session, "until every Indian has his rights." The late General Clinton B. Fisk presided over the first conference, and continued as the presiding officer until his death in 1890,
Albert K. Smiley, Founder of Mohonk Conference. " since which time the chair has been occupied until 1902 by Dr. Merrill E. Gates, formerly president of Amherst College and latterly the efficient secretary of the - Board of Indian Commissioners. At the session last' October the chairman was the Hon. John D. Long, formerly Secretary of the Navy. Among those who have been actively identified with these October meetings are General John II. Eaton, General C. II. Howard, Hon. William A.
B. and Phillip C. Garrett, Clinton Rogers-Wood ruff and Joshua L. Baily of Philadelphia. Senator George F. Edmunds was the presiding officer for several sessions, and the famous
diplomatist, Hon. John W. Foster,
former Secretary of State, guided the
deliberations of the conference in 1902 and 1903. Among the regular attendants and participants in these assemblies have been a large number of judges of the higher courts, many well-known clergymen, a group of leading journalists and editorial writers, and the presidents of many col
leges and universities, including Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Bowdoin Lafayette, Amherst, Union, Hamilton, Swarthmore and Brown. In the ten years since they began these arbitration conferences at Lake Mohonk have supplied the initiative and the stimulus for much that has
been accomplished in the interests of arbitration between nations, and through their discussions and publications have been a powerful factor
in the education of public sentiment
along these lines. It was several years
before the Czar of Russia called the Peace Conference at the Hague, out of which grew the Hague Tribunal,
that Dr. Hale urged the establishment of such an international court in an address at Lake Mohonk and his
plan was heartily seconded, discussed and urged by other prominent men at
several successive conferences until
the "dream" came to a glorious realization. Since the institution of the Hague Court the conference has devoted a part of its energies to securing the widest possible recognition of its mediatorial office by the nations of the world and has been highly successful in its efforts. The conference has also concerned itself with such subjects as an arbitration treaty with Great Britain, the relations of commerce and industry to peace, the best methods of promoting public opinion in favor, of international arbitration, and kindred topics, on all of. which it
has taken an alvaneed.yet thoroughly practical and rational attitude; -1 ' f It expected that the session this spring, which will be held June 1st to 3rd, yvill . bring together the largest attendance yet known, since the past year has witnessed remarkable progress in the work to which these conr ferences are devoted, such as tne settlement of the Venezuelan' 'controversy at the Hague, the conclusion of arbitration treaties between France and England and between. other leading lowers of Europe and South America, and also the renewal of the agitation for an arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain. This proposed treaty will form one of the chief topics of discussion at the June meeting. The presiding officer this year - will be the Hon. George Gray, of Delaware,' the well-known jurist, whose identification with several famous arbitral .bodies gives him special qualification for the office. He was a member , of the Peace Commission in Paris in 1898
and of the Joint High Commission at
Quebec-in the same 3ear, and in 1900 was appointed one of the American judges on the panel of the International Court at the Hague. Among
those who have thus far signified
their intention to be present are Hon. Wayne MacVeigh. Hon. H. B. F. Mac Farland, Hon, William L. Penfield, and Dr. Daniel C. Gilman of Washington; Congressman R. F. Broussard of Louisiana; Prof. John B. Moore
and Gen. Stewart L. Woodford of
New York; Hon. George R. Jones,
president of the Massachusetts senate; Hon. Charles B. Elliott of Minneapolis; Justices Alden Chester of
the New York Supreme court, W. P.
Potter of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and U. M. Rose of the Arkansas Supreme Court.
It is quite within the bounds of truth and moderation to say that no locality in all the world offers more attractions to the visitor and sight
seer than the spot where these two
conferences are held. From the 300 acres immediately about the lake which came into the possession of Mr. Albert K. Smiley in 1S69, the estate has gradually grown from year to
year until it comprises a tract of over
4,000 acres lying in five different townships and embracing the whole region along the crest of the mountain, for a space six miles in length and a mile in width. And in this lit
tle mountain realm the utmost care
has been taken to preserve every natural charm, and its wild, rugged and picturesque scenery has been in no
wise marred bv the many miles of
fine walks and broad, smooth rcowl ways that have made every point ac cessible with comfort, ease and safe t.V-
From Sky Top, the highest peak in
the Mohonk estate, towering 300 feet
above the lake, the vision sweeps over
as noble and magnificent a range of
scenery, of lofty mountains and lovely valleys as may be seen in any land under the sun. To the west lie the rich and fertile farm lands of the Rondout
valley and beyond them rise the Cat
skills, rich in romantic and historic memories. Directly below the peaks
of Mohonk lie the meadows and or
chards of the Wallkill valley, with the
old -Dutch settlement of New Paltz nestling among its trees and gardens, and manv miles bevond these, still
eastward, the highlands of the Hud
son. And in those rare days when the sky is soft and clear, the pilgrim in this favored land, looking out from the heights of Sky Top, may catch a glimpses of the Berkshire Hills in
western Massachusetts, of Vermont's verdant, mountains and sometifnes
may extend his vision even to the ranges of the Alleghanies beyond the
Pennsylvania border. L. A. Mavnard.
