Inc treaty provides that all subjects
Ioucernlng hostlities between either or
DOM OF the contracting powers and other
nations should be referred to a Joint biph
commission, appointed by the two now
ers, and if war should lie considered
necessary, 1t should be prosecuted and
conducted by the Anglo-American war
syhdcate, within limitations prescribed
by the high commission.
Inc contract made with the new syndi-
cdte was OF the most stringent order, and
contained every provision that ingenuity
OF foresight of man could invent or ello-
gest to make it impossible for the svndi-
cate to transfer to any other nation the
use OF the instantaneous motor.
Throughout all classes in svmDathv
with the administrative parties Of Great
Britain and the United States there was
feeling of jubilant citation on account
OF the alliance and the adoption bv the
TWO nations of the means of prohibitive
warfare. The public sentiment acted
even upon the opposition; and the ma
Ioflty OF army and navy officers in the
Two countries felt bound to admit that
the arts OF war in which they had been
educated were things Of the past. OF
course there were members of the army
ana navy in both countries who depre-
Gated the new state of things. But there
were also men still living who deprecated
the abolition Of the old wooden seventy
four gun ship.
a British artillery officer, convers.ng
with a member of the American syndi.
cate at London club said to him:
10 You know that you made a gre;l,
mistake IN the beginning Of your opera

thunderclap and storm of smoke al the
moment OF discharge, it would have
saved you lot of money and time and
trouble. The work of the motor On The
Canadian coast was terrible enou@h. Int
people could see no connection between
that and the guns on your vessel. If YOU
could have sooner shown that connection
you might have saved yourselves the
trouble OF crossing the Atlantic. And.

tory points connected with vour work
ON the Welsh coast was the let of smoke

In the midst of the profound satisfac-
ton with which the members Of the
American war syndicate regarded the
success OF ricir lab0rs labors alike
profitable to themselves and to the re-
Gently ccntending natiOns--and in the
gratitied pride with which they received
the popular and official congratulations
which were showered upon them, there
was but one little cloud, one regret.
In the course of the great syndicate
war life had been lost. 'J'homSs
Hutchins, while assisting i'll the loading
of coal on one Of the repellers, was acct
dentally killed by the falling of a derrick.
The syndicate gave generous sum to
the family of the unfortunate man, and
throughout the United States the occur
renee Occasi0ned deep feeling Of SYM
pathetic regret A popular subscription
was started to build a monument to the
memory OF Hutchins, and contributions
came not only from all parts Of the
United States but from many persons III
Great Britain, who wished to assist in
the erection Of this tribute to tho man
who had fallen in the contest which had
been of as much benefit to their country
as to his own.
Some weeks after the conclusion Of the
treaty a public question was raised,
which at first threatened to annoy the
American government. but it proved to
be Of little moment. An anti-adrninia-
tration paper in Peakville, Ark, assorted
that in the whole of the published treaty
there was not one word in regard to the
fisheries question, the complications 2ris-
ing from which had been the cause of the
war. Other papers took up the matter.
and the government then discovered that
in drawing up the treaty the fisheries
business had been entirely overlooked.
There was a good deal of surprise in
official circles when this discovery was
announced; but rs it was considered that
the fisheries question was one which
would take care Of itself, or lie readily
disposed of in connection with a number
of other minor points which remained to
be settled between the two countries, it
was decided to take no notice of the i'm
piled charge of neglect, and to let the
matter drop. And as the opposition party
took no real interest in the question but
little more was said about it.
