sehted to the committee for ratification
Immediately upon the reassembling of
congress after the holidays. AS already
outlined, exclusively in the Associated
Press dispatches, the life of the trestv
is made very short, only five years. but
this is with the expectation of renewal
for longer period if it shall prove To
work well and also to afford easy oppor-
tunity for amendment. Its purpose is TO
dispose peaceably and honorably of such
questions as arise between the United
States and Great Britain and will not
admit of the adjustment by the ordinary
methods of diplomacy, excluding cues
tons involving the national honor. The
personnel Of the arbitration commission
is to be of the highest character; men Sc
lected from the judiciary of each country,
three. from each side, and provision is
made against failure through tie vote
by the bringing in of an umpire.
Neither the Venezuelan question nor
the Behring sea issue are to 20 before
this commission, but its first work will
probably be to close up the Alaskan
boundary controversy and some other is
sues of minor interest, but real import.

AGAINST LOUD POSTAL BILL.
Publishers and Paper Manufacturers
Meet and Rooster Kick.

New York, Dec. Ca meeting of pub
fishers and paper manufacturers was held
today for the purpose of taking action
against the Loud postal bill, now pending
in congress. This bill aims to take all
novels and periodicals out of the second
class. This means an increase in postage
of from / cent per pound to 3 cents.
Among those represented at the meeting
were the Century, the Review OF Re
views, the Metropolitan magazines, the
Forum, McClure's, Munsey's, the Cosmo-
politan, Peterson's, the North American
Review and all of the publishing houses
that print weekly papers devoted to cheap
literature. A committee was. appointed
to work against the bill, which was con,
1emned as 'reactionary in purpose and
inimical to the interests of all publishers
of periodicals and to the allied trades OF
paper maxine. engraving, stereotyplng
printing, binding" etc.
1t was declared that it must throw oul
of employment an enormous number OF
men, women and children now engaged II

dispatch from Washington stating that
the eastern members of that committee,

posed to look with favor upon reciproc-
ity in framing a new tariff, he said:
There is not the slightest foundation
for the statement, SO far as know and
believe. While the matter has been
only slightly discussed, yet | have not
observed any material difference of opin-
ion. On the contrary, all the republican
members of the committee are in favor Of

THERE WILL BE OPPOSITION

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hale
has received letter from Senator HOar,
who is absent from the city, announcing
his opposition to the Cuban resolutions
and asking Senator Hale to pair with
him.
Senator Hale, who is expected to lead
the opposition to the Cuban resolutions
in the senate, is preparing for the conflict
which he expects to follow the holiday
recess.
1t is the general understanding that the
question will be the first raised after the
converting of congress.

that l had been quoted as saying in
bOastful manner that we should be able
to defeat the resolution on vote.
would not want to claim the result at
the present time, but hope for 1t in the

from influential senators every day OF
sympathy in the movement in opposition
to the resolutions, and l believe the SEN
| timent in the country is rapidly yeering
| that way. Of course there are meetings
| and resolutions on the other side, but one
can gather men together in advocacy OF
| any cause and get signatures to almost
