TREATY WITH ENGLAND.


The Arbitration NegOtiations are Draw
ing to an End.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The neg otia-
TORS between the United States and
Great Britain for a treaty of general ar.
bitration covering differences between
the two English speaking nations,
present and prospective, has advanced
to a stage of completeness far beyond
what the public has had reason to be.
lieve. The purpose of Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian Pauncefote is to con-
clude the negotiation within the next
three weeks. All of the substantial
features of the treaty have been agreed
on. From the present status of the ne
EQUATIONS, it is believed the following
will be the important terms of the
treaty:
First-A term of five years from the
day of the exchange of notifications
within which the treaty shall be opera
tive.
Second-A court of arbitration of six
members, three to be drawn from the
judiciary of the United States and
three from the judiciary of Great Brit.
ain.
Third-The submission to this tri-
buDal of differences between the two
nations now pending, or to arise with
in the period of five years; this not to
include the Behring sea question or the
Venezuela question now before indie
pendent commissions, 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 rela-
tions between the two English.speak-
ing peoples, and, in the judgment of
those who have been most identified
with its consummation, it will be the
most important document of a peaceful
character in the history of their mutual
dealings. The president made a pass.
ing allusion to the subject in his recent
message.

CONGncoo IN SeSSlO v.
Senate.

senate.
The United States senate begin the
second session of the fitty.faurth con-
gress with crowded galleries and with
that accompaniment of activity and of
greeting that usually attends the reas-
sembling of congress. But the upper
branch of congress never puts aside its
dignity, and the meeting developed no
demonstrations of dramatic interest.
The reading of the presidents message
vas the feature of the proceedings, and
beyond this no attempt was made 10
enter upon the business of the session.
To many of the foreign representatives
occupying the diplomatic gallery, the
message had special interest and sig.
niticance, owing to the part they had
taken in the conspicuous foreign events
to which the president referred.
The senate settled down to business
today. When a letter from the secre-
tary of the treasury was read answer
ing the senat inquiry as TO tho num-
Der of aliens in the department of the
treasury, Gallinger IN. H. remarked
that he would te glad to observe that
foreigners whose services had been con.
spicuous in the department. had seen
fit as a result of the inquiry to take out
naturalization papers. Many papers
were presented from manufacturing
bodies urging the passage of the Ding.
ley bill. Cullom Gill; gave notice shat
he would address the senate on the
Cuban question. The house resolu.
tions relative TO the death Of ex.Speaker
Crisp were laid before the senate. snd
as a mark of respect at 1925 the senate
adjourned.
Third day.-The senate, by the &C.
cisive vote of 80 to 81, adopted a mo-
ton to take up the Dlngley tariff bill.
Unexpected and surprising as this &C.
ton was, it did not have the .lsnld-
canoe which the vote itself appears 10
convey. Immediately following it,
Aldrich of Rhode Island. one Of the
Republican members Of the finance
committee, moved to rec0mmit the bill
to the committee, and this motion was
pending when. at 2 O'Clock. the morn
ing hour expired, and the matter lansed
as though no vote had been taken. Ngi-
Their the bill nor the motion 10 recon.
NIT will enjoy any privilege OF prsos-
dence as the result Of the action today.
Early in the day three sets Of vigorous
resolutions for Cuban independence
furnished an interesting feature. They
came from Cameron Of Pen~nsylrauia.
Mills of Texas, and Call Of Flo.i6a.
and while differing in terms, bresihad
the same spirit of recognition ty the
United States of Cuban Independence.
Fourth day-The senate got into the
regular channel of business today. TAX.

of the speeches on Cuba, these Of Gull.
lom and Call. The immigration bill
was not passed upon up to the time u
adjournment, but the senate agreed TO
what is generally known as the Lodge
bill, as a substitute to the house meas
ure. The substitute requires that all
Immigrants over the age of IA years
shall be able to read and write their
native language and shall be required
to read and write in the presence of an
United States official certain lines OF
the United States constitution.

IMPORTANT DEAL.

Globe Silver Bell: A mining
deal was closed on Tuesday which,
it is confidently believed, will have
an important bearing on the fur
ther development and prosperity of
Globe district. Judge E. J. Ed
wards, acting for Col. James A.
Fleming and DIR. J. NJ. Ford of
Phoenix, secured bonds on seven
copper claims IN Webster gulch,
which are pronounced by experts
to be among the most promising
copper properties in Arizona. !. The
claims are all on the same ledge
which has an average width of .orer
thirty feet, aud the location IS
sucn that 1t can he easily opent d
and the ore treated by the l.achil q
process at low cost.
We are not at liberty just no W
to give details of the transaction,
but will say that the amount of
money involved is very large. w.
w. Hill of Phoenix is expected to
arrive here next week to i,nme-
.liately begin work. Every one of
the seven claims will be thoroughly
exploited. MIR. Hill is a mining
man Of recognized ability, who had
more to do than any other man
with demonstrating the value Of
the jerome mines, and was in
charge of the United Verde com.
pany's mines OF Jerome for years.
Messrs. Ford and Fleming. the
prospective purchasers, are men of
wealth and influence, capable of
organizing a.strong company.
Judge Edwards is to be con-
graduated on ths success of this,
his first mining deal, which ye
hope will rebound to his benefit as
we'll as to the interest Of Globe.
