New York Chamber of Com merce on
the Nenezuelnn DiSpute.


New York, Jan AT the regular monthly
meeting OF the Chamber of Commerce held
to-day Mr.. Francis B. Thurber, chairman OF
the committee on foreign commerce and
the revenue laws ~ bmitted a report on the
Venezuelan g:.-.lun, and the following
resolution.
Resolved, Tat the Chamber OF Com
meFee. of the city of New York. being
profoundly impressed with the gravity OF
the situation which threatens the peace,
now, and happily 50 dong existing between
Great Britain and the United States, ap-
peals 10 the countries to avert the calamity
Of war by n resort TO arbitration or Other
friendly negotiation, which has so often
been fOInd TO lie Il sufficient and salts
factory mode OF settling international
disputes. and TO which both governments
stand committed by profession. precedent
nd the humanitarian spirit OF the age"
Hon. Carl SohGrz seconded the resolution.
He slid tlat he yielded to none in patriotic
feeling. He regarded interna ional peace

OF the surprising teaching lately rife that

tended TO develop natural manhood.

so as TO avert war.
IAN your business operations will. In
case of war, he taken in the gamblers
chance. Uncertainty will prevail. This
uncertainty ought to have a speedy end.
1t is certain that the finding of that eminent
commission just appointed will lack the
essential quality OF being conclusive and
binding. Why not let Great Britain ap-
point like commission TO act Jointly with
ours? II necessary let some eminent man
preside.
''The findings of such a joint commission
would furnish at least practical basis
neutrality-suspicious. This would eliminate
t'at most dangerous element the question
OF honor. There would be no difficulty
in having this plan accepted by both parties
without dishonor- 1t is a proper thing for
such q body as the Chamber OF Commerce
to make such suggestion"
MIR. Schurz introduced resolution 10 the
effect that the president of the Chamber of
Commerce appoint a subcommittee to con
suit with the bodies outside throughout the
country with a view TO appointing joint
commission from both countries to settle
the whole Venezuela question.
After speeches by Hon. Carl Schurz. Mr.
Francis C. Moore. Charles Stewart Smith
and others, Mr.. Tburber changed his resO-
luton so that it didn't read that the Mon
roe doctrine was not Endorsed by the peo-
pie of the United States unanimously"
The resolutions were then put including Mr..
SchurZ's resolution, and carried, there be-
ing only six dissenting votes.
