appomtod lately to co-operate with aim
ilar committev in otarr ritie in for
Wttrmur of Ike plan fir a wraanetit
treaty of arbitration between Ureal Brit
aiu ruid the I'nitetl Stale.
- This plan, inaugnrattxl, by niemlwrs
of tb New York chamber of oomim-rof.
baa nnt taiih much fasr. t'tuiuitt

and elsevthcre as soou aa Kiile.
HveHitually tl is hotwi Ihe system of ar
bitration proposed uiar be exteuded to
all the riviliatot nations, as well as
Great Britain.
There was an interesting geueral dis
cnaviouof tbe mode of nrvattttire and Ihe
rope of tbe pkui of arhitration, in
which nieu of the wide eiperituico iu
diplomatic affair of Mr. J. W. Fater
and Mr. John A. Kafxon were able to

baa been in omull.in.ni with numbers
of rnntnfi. with a new of arcertainiug
the iiKt available meu for df legatee in
each aectiou. He sjoke of having re
oeived very hearty encouragement from
members of i-uiigte whom be had met.
The arrantiemeuta will be iu charge of
executive rommitteea of fire from each
local committee, and at the conference)
tbe whole cooix of action will be set
tled op-m. - -
Tbe meeting was moat satisfactory in
bowing that the co-operative movement
fur geueial arbitration will receive a
very hearty and influential backing in
tbe city of Washington.
In the nonrsa of the meeting Dr.
(Cbamberlin gave an intelligent expuau-
tiou of - the pun and progiea of the
movement. He said in this connection:
Tbe spontaneous, independent move
ment in Chicago, Philadelphia, Balti
more, New York and other place in
tbe iutereet of a permanent provision
for aome wine methods of arbitration
between Ihe United tate and Ureat
Britain have now become one enthusi
astic movement in favor uf a national
oonference. Tbe purpose of the confer
ence) ia both patriot 10 and philanthropic
It I clearly understood that there arw
questions, soch as those of national sov
ereignty and tbe integrity of the) na
tional domain, which no state will con,-.
sent to arbitrate, but fur Ihe great class
of disagree met. (s which are debatable.
and which the usual methods of diplo
macy fail to adjust, there well may be
a resort to an arbitrating tribunal in
stead of tbe waste and bitterness oft war.
It would appear, moreover, that a
noble atep in tbe advance of civilisation
would be taken, should there be be
tween th two great nations which are
akin in language, iarisprudnc), legal
tnethoda and essential love of right a
treaty of arbitration, designating tb
clawa of issue to be referred and deter
mining certain methods of procedure in
constituting and convening tbe tribu
nal, a well as certain essential rule gov
erning the presentation of evidence.
There would thus be a presumption
and practical facility favorable to arbi
tration soch as do not now exist and
bave not heretofore existed. The whole
effect would certainly be on the side of
peace with honor and justice with good
will.
It U not too much to say that such a
treaty or convention between this conn
try and Great Britain would tend to
ward tbe adoption of international ar
bitration throughout tbe civilized world.
