Behind Mask.
 The story of the text also impresses me with the fact that royalty sometimes passes in disguise. The frook, the veil, the hood of the peasant woman hid the queenly character of this woman of Tir- zah. Nobody suspected that she was a queen or a princess as she passed by, but she was just as much a queen as though she stood in the palace, her robes incrusted with diamonds And SO all around about us there are princesses and queens whom the world does not recognize. They sit on no throne of roy alty, they ride in no chariot, they elicit no huzza, they make no pretense, but by the grace of God they are princesses and they are queens. Sometimes in their poverty, sometimes in their self denial, sometimes in their hard struggles of Christian service, God knows they are queens. The world does not recognize them.

To Settle All Disputes.

Aside from the previously referred to points, 1t can be stated in general way that the tern of the treaty are such as to 'clear the board' of all the yexatious questions which have arisen between the United States and Great Britain. These have been numerous in recent years, and some of them have threatened serious con- sequences. But those familiar with the exact terms of the negotiations say that not one of these causes of friction will re- main. Some of them are withdrawn from the operation of the treaty from the fact that other methods of settlement already have been agreed upon. This is the case with the Venezuelan question, which, by the recent agreement pertaining to that subject alone, Is committed to special court of arbitration. The Boring sea claims arc now before a commission created by special treaty, so that this, too, will not fall within the scope of the new treaty. Other questions have been similarly dis posed of, and, considering them all, 1t is said by those familiar with them that the Alaskan boundary will be the only pend ing controversy likelyy to come within the sSope of the new treaty
 The main purpose of the treaty, howev- CT, is to guard against future differences threatening a rupture, and in this the ne gotiators believe that the terms of the it. strument will be such as to avoid all pos sibility of international conflict for the future.
 All the negotiations have been carried on in Washington, and the signing of the instrument will occur here.
 Mir. Olney and Sir Julian Paunoefote have borne the brunt of the work, the lat ter executing the views of Lord Salisbury in such way as to expedite the final ar rangement. MT. Bayard has not taken part in the negotiation, although Indirect ly he has contributed to the result

A TREATY FOR PEACE
NO MORE WAR BETWEEN ENGLAND
 AND THE UNITED STATES.

Secretary Olney and Embassador Paunce- fote Reach an Agreement For the Peaceful Adjustment of All Our Difrsr-
 ences With Our British Brethren. WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-The negotia- tions between the United States and Great Britain for a treaty of general arbitration, covering all subjects of difference between the two English speaking nations, present and prospective, has advanced to 8 stage of completeness far beyond what the public has had reason to believe The purpose of Secretary Oiney and Sir Julian Pauncefote Is to conclude the negotiations within the next three weeks All of the substantial features of tho treaty have been agreed on. From the present status of the negotia- tions it is believed the following will be the important terms of treaty:
 First.-A term of years from the date Of exchange of ratification within which the treaty shall be operative.
 Second--A court of arbitration of six members, three to be drawn from the ju- diciary of the United States and three from the judiciary of Great Britain.
 Third. The submission to this tribu- nal of all differences between the two na- tions, now pending, or to arise within the period of five years; this not to include the Boring sea question or the Venezuelan question now before independent commits sions, but to include the question of the boundary between Alaska and British North America.
 The completion of this treaty will mark an important epoch in the relations be- tween the two English speaking nations, and, in the judgment of those who have been most identified with its consumma- tion, it will be the most important doou- ment of a peaceful character in the history of their mutual dealings.
 The president made passing allusion to the subject ia his recent message. It had been understood, however, that the main purpose of Mir Olney was to reach an agreement as to Venezuela, and that, hav- ing accomplished this, the larger question considerable time for its complete develop ment. But the negotiations have proceed ed with surprising unanimity, so that those engaged in the work confidently believe that 1t will he fully agreed upon and the signatures of the contracting parties placed to the document within three weeks. This will give fully two months for their con- sideration and ratification of the treaty at the present session of the United States senate, and unless some unexpected obsta- cle should arise in that quarter there is ev- cry reason to anticipate the treaty may be made effective before the close of the pres ent administration. At least this Is the confident hope and the expectation of those most concerned in the negotiations
