to Wharton's note, insisting upon re-

basis ofthe discussion. The utmost reti-
ence is maintained by members of the
Cabinet, but it is believed that Sails
bury's note is unsatisfactory; his reply to
the main point is not decisive. There is
also reason to believe that he suggests as
condition precedent to any modus a.

gate itself to indemnify Canadian vessel
owners in the event of the decision of the
arbitrators against the United States. 1t
