The Treaty with England.
The Treaty Of Washington, an outline Of which
appears In this mornings papers, meets with gen

feel confident from their Information thus far that
it will be ratified by the Senate. As the members Of
the Committee on Foreign Relations have been rur-

therefore have had ample opportunity to examine
ana study all Its features, 1t is thought that 1t will
be promptly reported back from that committee
