much extended this year. From Raleigh
to Lit.leton, Oh the Raleigh and CASTOR

of them are very profitable. There are

Well Dunp, Mr.. Blaine.

Whatever else may come of the de-
lliberations of the Pan-American Con-
gross, the agreement arrived at TO here
after settle ali national disputes be-
tween any two of the Republics of
North, South and Central America
and Hayti by arbitration will be es-
ttcmed as more than justifying all the
labor and expense that have attended
the sittings of the delegates. The on
ly exception from matters of dispute
which must be arbitrated is in case q
nation may believe its independent ex-
istence at stake, when arbitration may
be declined. The agreement of tile
Congress is at once binding upon all
the parties to it except the United
States, the assent of which will not
have been completed until after ratif-
cation by the Senate. The treaty is to
remain in force twenty years after rati-
fications shall have been exchanged.
a fter that time any nation dissatisfied
with its terms may withdraw upon one
years notice.
This assurance of good understand
ing among the States of America
ought to have its effect in greatly re-
ducing military and naval eXpendi-
lures. 1t ought also to he an impress
sive lesson for the older States of Eu-
rope. which are wasting the resources
of their people in maintaining vast
military organizations TO insure peace
by perpetual readiness for war. An
agreement of the great Powers to arbi-
trate their difficulties wOtld he the
longest stride toward the millennium
thats Christianized nations have ever
made.-Phiadciphia Record.

The Pail n-American Arbitration Treaty.

The representatives of nine nations
have already MAY y signed the Ar
bitration Treaty, which was one Of the
most important fruits of the All-Amei-
lea Conference, and the signatures of
three more are promised. The only
difficulty liable to be experienced is
with Chill and the Argentine Repub-
lie. But even these two countries can
hardly hold out when arbitration has
been formally accepted rs the govern
ing policy by all the remaining indie
pendent Powers of the continent.
The treaty, when approved by the rep
resentatives Of the contracting States,
will 60 to the several Governments for
ratification. The New York Tribune
says: "rhe United States and Brazil, J,
having taken the initiative, can i'm
part a powerful impulse to the inter-
national movement by prompt and de-
cisive action in ratifying the treaty.
= < The two chief Republics Of
the New World ought to be among
the first TO unite in sanctioning the
scheme of compulsory arbitration"
