FOR ARBITRATION.

purpose Of Secretary Olney and Nj
Julian Pauncefote Is to conclude thu
negotiations within the next tire.
weeks All OF the substantial features
Of the treaty have been agreed on.
From the present status Of the nego'
tiations " Is believed the following
will be the important terms Of the
treaty:
First-A term Of five years from the
date OF the exchange OF ratification
within which the treaty shall be oper.
alive.
Second-A court Of arbitration Of six
members, three to ne drawn from the
judiciary OF the United States and
three from the judiciary OF Great Brit

bunal Of oil differences between the two
nations, now pending, or TO arise with.
In the period Of five years, this not to
include the BehrlnQ sea question or
the Venezuelan question, now before
independent commissions, but to In
clude the question Of the boundary be.
tween Alaska and British North Amer
ica.
The completion Of this treaty will
mark an important epoch in the rela.
tons between the two En0lish-speak.
ing nations, and In the judgment Of
those who have been most identified
with Its contamination, 1t will be the
most important document OF a peace
ful character In the history Of their
mutual dealings. The president made

Mr.. Olney was TO reach an agreement

eomplished this, the larger question OF
arbitrating all differences would re.
quire considerable time for Its com.
plete development But the nerotis.
lions have proceeded with surprising
unsnimity, so that those engaged In
the work confidently believe 1t
will be fully agreed upon and
the signatures OF the contracting
parties placed TO the documents
within three weeks. This will give
fully two months for the consideration
and ratification Of the treaty at the
present session OF the United States
senate, and unless some unexpected
obstacle should arise In that quarter
there is every reason TO anticipate that

lore the close Of the present admins.

hope and expectation OF those most

Aside from the previously referred ,

way that the terms Of the treaty are
uch as to "clear the board" OF all the
'exatious questions which have arisen
