Secretary Olney. referring to Lord Salisbury S

KEEN POINT MADE BY MR. OLNEY
The document then goes into technical legal
discussion of international law. as applicable to
territory, and closes with the following keen
point
by :he original proposals OF Lord Salisbury.
contained In the dispatch Of March . last,
protested award is to be void, unless sustained
by the Appellate Tribunal Of six judges by
vote Of five to one. He has since suggested that
such protested award may be allowed to stand,
unless tribunal of five Supreme Court Judges
after considering the protest shall set IT
aside for some error Of fact or some error In
law. Without committing myself on the point,
1t to as worthy Of consideration
varied that the protested awards should stand,
unless set aside by the Appellate Tribunal by
the specified majority. Such a change would
go far in the direction Of removing that want
of fnality to the proceedings which. as has been
urged in previous dispatches. is the great OBJ
lection to the original proposals"
Up to this date the Secretary has received no
reply to the last communication.
