back the subject to the President, on the
ground that if be thinks it advisable to with
draw the claim for indirect damages, he can
do 80 without any negotiation. Then there
is yet another member of the committee who

On Saturday afternoon the committee re-

the proposal of the British Government for a
new q ticle to the Treaty of Washington,
with two amendments, one of them barring
claims for Feuian outrages. The five Repub-

expression of their opinion on IL. Some OF
the friends Of the Administration have been
