New YORK. Feb. G.
A special London dispatch says the
Times yesterday used the following Ian
guage: The treaty of Washington has
become imperative for the reason that it
is not based on perfect understanding
between the signatory parties. 1t is with
the utmost reluctance that we contem-
plate a posi- .ility that the reference Of
this question to the arbitration court will
come to nothing--that there will remain
nothing Of the expectations thus raised
of a successful issue of the case. A sat
isfactory answer from Washington, ex-
cluding the American claim for indirect
damages, cannot be anticipated. The
understanding which will thus be defn
itely established between the United
States and England can have no sequel
but the abandonment of its reference for
arbitration.

that advices from Minister Schcnck af-
firm the statement that the attacks on
| the Washington treaty were instigated by
the Gladstone government, to Offset the
attacks Of the tories to the effect that
England was over reached in the Ala
bama negotiations. Another view indi-
Gated by Mr.. Schenck is that this Eng
lish furry is all gotten up to prejudice
the arbitrators against the American case.
