proceedings should be recorded in French and English. He then moved that the Conference adjourn until to-morrow. Mr. LEFAIVRE, Delegate of France, stated that he agreed with what had been said by the President, that the Conference should have Secretaries who were specialists, and that the proceedings should be recorded in two languages. By adjourning till to-morrow he thought that the delegates would have an opportunity to reflect upon the subject, and to come back prepared to vote upon it.
