nounce that negotiations for such arbitration are
under way This rumor is not to be fully ac-

tircly within bounds OF pos sibility however, that
II Is true There are more than few circum-
stances which give it an unmistakabe color of
credibility.
For some time it has been perfectly evident
that the British Government is not idly waiting
for the American Commissioners to complete
their work On the contrary, it has been going
ahead on its own account. 1t has looked up maps
and records at great rate in the last six weeks
