When Sir Julian Pauncefote British am
ha ssador to the United States, sailed for
Europe, this Journal ventured the opinion
that he carried with him the draft of a
new arbitration treaty. A London dis
patch In our issue this morning strongly
corroborates that idea. 1t is senloffi-
ciaIly announced from the British for
eign office that the failure Of the olney-
Pancefote treaty was disappointing and
mortifying t. Nh. Mckinley, and that Sir
Julian had been instructed to ascertain
whether another and shorter treaty might
not be arranged 1t is stated that he found
the American Government quite anxious
TO enter into one, and that negotiations
have progressed swifnminely in that t,irec-
ton On his return to Washington in Octo-
ter the matter is to he taken up again and
an effort made to liam through" some
measure of the kind at the next session of

that it was concocted in pursuance OF
mutual understanding to give official Of

To Roll an Umbrella.

"If half the citizens of the world" said
a young woman who works on umbrella

THE right way to ron your umbrella is
