THE TREATY COMMISSIONERS.
Information has been received here that
tho British Government has appointed
Mr, GurnCy, recorder of the city OF Lon
don, commissioner on Its part, under the
treaty of Washington. Tho President has
appointed Rs United States Commissioner
Judge Frazer, of Indiana The third
commissioner will be appointed by the
| tuiIcd States and her majesty, conformity;
But in case the third commissioner shall
not be named within three months from
the exchange Of the Publications of the |
treaty then he shall be named by tho
Spanish Minister At Washington. 1t is
thought here, however, that no such con. |
tingenCy will arise, rs Minister Roberts, |
under the treaty, will designate the third |
commissioner only in the event Of the |
failure TO DO 80 by tho United States and
Great Britain. A recent telegram from
Madrid, stating that he had been author
lied 10 exercise the functions OF third
commissioner, Is erroneous. The com.
missiOnerS under the treaty are TO meet at
Washington ut the earliest convenient nc.
rlOd after they have been named, to exam
inc and decide any such claims rs may
he laid before them on the part Of tho
Governments Oi the United States and
Great Britain. 1t has heretofore been
stated that the British Government has
appointed rs It's agent or attorney; under
the treaty provisions, Henry Howard to
present and support all claims on It's be.
hall, and to answer claims made upon II

connected with the investigation and do.
cison thereof. The United States Gov.
ernmsnt has appointed on It's part for
