her OF affrays occurred in the city yes

Cabinet Meeting-The Treaty.
A Washington special says: The
President and Secretary are both ex-
pected in Washington this evening and
4 Cabinet meeting will be held on Tues
day. By that time some decisive action
at Geneva in respect to the continuance
or termination of the arbitration is exI
pected. There has been no change OF
the position OF our Government on ques,
tons that have been raised since the
supplemental article was amended by
the Senate. 1t holds that an adjourn
ment of the arbitrators at this meeting
o, the tribunal without proper filing OF
the arguments on both sides would be
iqformal, and would result in actual
death of the terms Of the treaty; be.
i les it has no reason for desiring any
adjournment so far as its interests are
concerned and would prefer that it should
proceed, holding the view that it does
OF the terms OF the treaty. In this re-
,pect our Government could not give its
consent 10 Great Britain withdrawing
is final argument now. Any infrac-
ton OF itS terms is not to be for our
convenience, and therefore we consent
TO none. This position Of our Govern
ment will cause Great Britain to move
tor an adjournment, if she desires, and
TO ask for time upon whatever ground
for the filing OF the arguments. 1t will,
at the same time, make it necessary for
the arbitrators to give an Interpretation
of the terms in this particular,
which our Government is willing
10 acc apt if the tribunal decide it cannot
adjourn, but if, on the other hand, it
decides that Great Britain must file her
argument now, such decision will make
desirable one way or the other neces.
cary for that Government. The British
Government agrees that the supple
mental article protects that Government
against the indirect claims of this case.
They want to avoid future questions Of
construction that may never arise. As
viewed here, the responsibilities for the
future of the treaty are, if it fails, that
they will not rest on us.
