The 7ImIS to-day says, in an editorial,
the discussion yesterday In the House Of

tages Of the treaty Of Washington greatly
over balance its deficiencies. We admit
that to yield everything to concilate an
opponent Is unwlse, but the American
Commissioners also receded from their
original demands. The machinery Of ar.
bitration Is satisfactory, and the claims on
both sides could hardly be settled In bet
