A LONDON special, dated May %, says:
"The English papers continue to discuss
the Treaty of Washington and the supple
mentary article thereto with undiminished
interest. Their editorials are generally in
| spired by desire to prevent failure of the
arbitration and save the treaty. An ar
| ticle, in a contrary sense, in the Pail Mall
Gazette, tonight, says that the whole drift
of feeling and opinion in England justifes
it in saying that the worst thing to do with
the treaty is to save it. Saving the treaty,
lit says means offense and humiliation to
| America or England, or both nations. 1t
! means a renewal and not an abatement of
the i'll feeling which it was intended to al
| lay. How to save the treaty means who
shall eat the leek, or whether means cannot
be invested whereby both parties shall agree
to eat it in each others presence. The
American papers appear to exclaim against
the adoption of the supplementary article
Here there is only one opinion, and its ac-
| ceptance would be discreditable and dam
gerous. Both people would be paci6ed and
| content at once if the treaty and the nego-
tiations connected herewith were dropped
as an irremediable blunder for which the
two Governments are alone to blame. That
is the proper fate of the treaty, and the only
safe an peaceful way of disposing of it, !"
