don special says: The assembling Of the
s1rbitrators on the treaty of Washington is
&as great subject Of discussion here lust
C0w. There is no provision in the treaty
7zhich requires a meeting of the arbitra tors
at Geneva on the fifteenth, but they had in
seaded meeting on that day, as both gov
.gaDmeuts must deliver their papers, or if
Che tribunal assemblies, they must close
6aeir arguments. The difficulty in the case
IS that England requests the United States
rt8 join IN the pOstpOnement of the meeting,
1slt no meeting is positively provided for.
IL Engiand asks for a postponement of
She day for the delivery Of the last papers,
Tf1e request involves a consent to the viO-
cation Of the treaty for purpose contrary
% American views. The general feeling in
America Is that England ia afraid of the ar
4stratOrs- Inuendoes insulting to the honor
q the tribunal are current. 1t ia said in
91gh quarters that Russian money is
operating against England Count Cata-
zaEY is mentioned as continuing on this side
of the Atlantic, the work for which be was
EEpelled from Washington. 1t is believed

A Her0lG special from Washington Of the
eleventh, says: "The British Minister to-
day received telegram from Granville to
The eject that the instructions sent to Min
Ester Scbenck in reply to the proposal con-
Gained in his note to the American Minister
"a regard TO the proceedings at Geneva on
tho fifteenth had been the subject Of dis
,enssiOn nc a pr0tracted session of the Cabi-
1Hf to-day, when 10 was finally decided to
address to Minister Scbenck another note,
which would be the basis of his explanation
% the House Of Lords this evening"
The note to Minister Schenek is as fol-
5ows
SIR-Her Majesty's government under

Nween the two governments unless the gov

stated its objections, OF unless 1t agrees,
without any declaration as to its doing so,
sSb W1OdO. to take a further step in |
the proceedings before the arbitrators, while
q misunderstanding exists as to what both
parties agree to submit to arbitration. M
Elab states to YOU that the government of
the United States has no reason to ask for
szR adjournment Of the arbitration at Ge- |
nsva. The reason which actuated her |
Maiesty's government in it was to obtain |
time for the conclusion of an agreement at |
which both parties had nearly arrived. Her |
&lajestys government will now have to con- |
ssder what may be the course most consist |
ant with the declarations it has hereto |
GQFe shade, most respectful to the tribunal |
az arbitration, and the most courteous to |
sha United States. The British arbitrator |

5f the tribunal the British agent will be di- !
upted to present to them a statement to |
11e following effect:

azya necessity Of informing the arbitrators /
tisat the difference between her Majesty's |
government and the government of the
United States, referred to in the note
which accompanied the presentation of
Gao British counter case on the ff-
Gaenth of April last, has not yet |
seen removed. Her Maiesty's government
aas, however, been engaged In negotiations
Esith the government of the United States,
watch have continued down to the present
tisle, for the solution Of the difficulty which
las TINS arisen, and does not abandon hOpa
Eaat If further time were given for the pur-
pose such solution might be found practi-
cable Under these circumstances, the
eaurse which her M8jesty's government re-
specially requests the tribunal to take is
O. adjourn the present meeting for such
period as may enable the supplemental con-
rButi0n to be still concluded and ratified be-
tween the high contracting parties. In the
meantime the high contracting parties not

tho reference to arbitration, her Maiestys
EoVernment regrets to find itself nn-
able 20 deliver a written argument which
It's agent Is directed TO put in under the
Gffh article of the treaty, although that
argument has been duly prepared and is
"a the hands of its agent, or to take any
other step at the present time in the in
aended arbitration.
It viii, of course, be understood by the
e1bunal that her Majestys government,
iwhile il would consider the tribunal to
nave full power to proceed at the end of
the period Of adjournment, if the difference
between the high contracting parties should
then have been removed, notwithstanding
the non-deiivery on this day Of the argu-
ment by the British government but con

note which accompanied the British eOun-
Ger case.
