The Times correspondent at Washington announces in the issue of

last Saturday that an Arbitration Treaty, between the United States and Great. Britain will shortly be concluded. It will resemble substantially the Treaty which was rejected by the Senate during Mr. Cleveland's Presidency. Only a few details remain to be settled, but of course it is not certain that the Senate will ratify it, even though it is said that several points which were found objectionable in the last Treaty have been eliminated. From a Reuter telegram we gather that the Senate may require to have every subject.for arbitration presented to it for separate ratification instead of allowing the Arbitration Treaty to work automatically within its prescribed limits.
