 considerable curtament of the attendance, but at o'clock, after the sun had at last
 shone forth, several thousand Endeavorers

 we WISH to express our aDnOTIeIce Ol war and our solemn conviction that it is the duty of every civilized nation to do all in its power toward making war impossible. We wish to record our desire for the
 speedy establishment of an international tribunal of arbitration. We wish to show
 our interest in the international conference to discuss this matter proposed by the czar of Russia, and to urge that our country act promptly upon the proposals of that confer ence, and especially we desire by our signs
 to appeal for the immediate consideration of the question of arbitration between this
 nation and Great Britain that the Anglo Saxon race may become united in the in- terests of peace and good will. Tn presenting this memorial we are em- boldened by the assurance of a cordial re- ception on the part of large number or
 our legislators and we are confident that the congress of the United States and America will in the future, as in the past, prove true to the largest sentiments Of humanity. May the divine blessing attend your deliberations"

 tralia, voiced peaceful sentiments in behalf
 of the land under the Southern Cross lie

 and nothing I believe can now disturb the peace of the world"
