PEACE CONGRESS.

IN THE UNITED STATES. SPEECH BY MR. CARNEGIE, By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received May 3, 8.0 a.m.) NEW YORK, May 2. At the St. Louis Peace Congress, Mr. Fairbanks, Vice-President in the .Roosevelt Administration, affirmed that the United States was morally bound to admit the ships of other nations to the Panama Canal on the same terms as its own. When the Hay-Pauucefote Treaty was before the Senate the right of the United States to discriminate against other nations was fully considered, and it was decided that it Ind no right. Mr. Carnegie declared that there would never be any desire among other nations to attack tbe United States if they treated them with justness and friendliness. No armed nation dared invade the United States. British authorities might think it possible for a force of 170,000 men to land in Britain within three weeks, but the United States was able to cope with seven times that number.
