The Treaty OF Washington.
OPINIONS OF THE LONDON PRESs---TnE siTuATIoS
IN ENGLAND.
New YORK, May !2.---A special from Lon
don, dated 21st instant, 10 the Herald says
"rhc English papers continue to discuss the
treaty of Washington, and the supplcmcn'
tary articles thereto, with unhiminiShcd in
tercst. The editorials generally are inspired
by.a desire to prevent the failure Of arbltra
ton and save the treaty.
" An article, in the contrary sense, pub
lishcd in the PaN Mall Gdzett" tonight, is
remarkable for its truthful and just appreca'
ton of the danger OF endeayorinY to save
the treaty at the expense OF national suscep,
tiblity. The following is an extract:
"The whole drift of feeling and opinion IN
England iustities saying that the worst thing
to do with the treaty is to save it. Saving
the treaty means offence and humiliation tc
America, or to England, or to both nations
1t means the renewal and not the abatement
Of the ill-feeling it was intended 10 aIlay
How to save the treaty means who shall cal
the .lceks,' or whether some means cannot
be invented whereby both parties shall agree
TO cat in each others presence. The Amfrl'
can papers appear to cNclaim against the
adoption Of the supplemental article. Here
there is only one opinion, and that is that it,
acceptance would be diScreditable and dan.
gerous. Both people would be pactied and
content ut once if the treaty and negotiations
connected Herewith were dropped as an ir-
remcdable blundcr, for which the two Go
vernments are alone to blame. That is the
proper fate of the treaty, and the only safe
and peaceful way of disposing of it.
"ThiS article states exactly the situation
in England, and is Il just expression OF ttn
best opiDion here. 1t is certain that per-
sons--bankers, financial agents, and Others
who are determined to save the treaty at
whatever cost, without regard to national
dignity or honor, are bringing about dali
s,crous complication. The same with those
lmwise politicians who are willln" to make
party capital out Of international difficulty.
The further negotiation of the treaty will
ONLY continue an irritation that may event
uaIly put two proud nations in al attitude
from which war can he the only possible
issue. The treaty should bc dropped immc.
diately for the sake Of amity, goodwill, and
peace"
