The report also embod- jed set of resolutions of indorsement for the consideration of the members of l the chamber.
 1 Judge Harrison is exceedingly we'll versed in regards to the situation, and | his communication and remarks were listened to with care and attention by the members of the chamber who were present. When he had finished reading his report it was unanimously adopted and it's recommendations will be carried out.
 The report in full was as follows: Whereas at the National Arbitration Conference, held in the city of Washing ton on the 18th day of January, 1904, the l following resolutions were unanimously passed:
 RESOLUTIONS FOR ARBITRATION. 1 Whereas, by a concurrent resolution of the Congress of the United States, adopted in 1890. the president was re- quested to invite negotiations with oth- CT governments to the end that any diff | ferences which could not be adjusted by diplomacy might be referred to arbitra- 1 ton and peaceably adjusted by such means, and the British House of Com Imons, in 1898. adoDted a resolution ex- pressing cordial sympathy with this purpose, as well as the hope that the British government would lend it's ready cooperation in the government of 1 the United States to the end that the resolution of congress might be made effective; and
 1 Whereas, since that time, as the re- suit of an international conference, a permanent court of arbitration has been established at The Hague, to which na- tions may voluntarily resort for the peaceful settlement of their differences; and
 Whereas, it is the opinion of this con- ference that the government of the United States. in view of it's historical position and of the great results accom- plished by means of arbitration should continue to further and to support eve ny movement to establish by peaceful means the reign of law and justice among nations;
 l Resolved, That it is recommended to Jour government to endeavor to enter into treaty with Great Britain to sub fit to arbitration by the permanent l court at The Hague, or, in default of such submission. by some tribunal spec l ially constituted tor the case, all diff ferences which they may fail to adjust by diplomatic negotiation;
 Resolved, That the two governments should agree not to resort in any case Ito hostile measures of any description till an effort has been made to settle any matter in dispute by submitting the same either to the permanent court at l the Hague or to commission composed lof an equal number of persons from each country, of recognized competence in questions of international law. 1 It is further resolved that our gov lernment should enter into treaties to the same effect, as soon as practicable, with other powers.
 Now, therefore, Resolved by the lChamber of Commerce of the city of New Haven, that the action of said Ma tional Arbitration Conference is hearth 1 ly endorsed and approved.
 I Resolved, That the industrial, finan- lcial and commercial interests of all na- ltions are now so closely interwoven that lthe loss or injury of one caused by war, necessarily becomes, to some extent the loss or injury of all.
 1 Resolved, That the burdens of indus ltry and commerce in supporting great armies and navies in time of peace as lwell as of war, will be materially light tened whenever from time to time inter- national arbitration as a substitute fo1 war has become the settled policy of Ethe United States, Great Britain and the other civilized nations of the world l Resolved, That the president of this Chamber of Commerce be requested te lcause copies of these resolutions to be sent to the President of the United Estates, the secretary of state, the chair imam of the senate committee on foreign irelations, and to each of the senators land representatives of Connecticut ir the congress of the United States.
