ARBITRATION TREATY.
Secretary OF state OInsy Appears Before
the Senate Committee.

Secretary OF state OInsy Appears Before
the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O,-The foreign
relations committee Of the senate eonsid-
cred the arbitration treaty to-day. Sec
retary Olney remained with the commit
tee until II adjourned. There was gem
eral discussion OF the provisions az the
treaty, nearly every member questioning
the secretary about It and its probable
effect. Nothing was brought showing
any definite plan OF the committee or its
intention regarding the treaty though
the questions put to the secretary indi-
Gated that there would hs opposition TO
many OF its provisions, and that there
were differences oplaioa between
members and the secretary as TO the et-
feet OF the treaty.
Secretary Olney supported his asser-
ton that the treaty was In no sense IN
derogation or subverslon OF the Monroe
doctrine, by pointing out that article
seven expressly provided that II In the
course OF the arbitration Of claim 1t
was found that the decision Involved the
decision OF a disputed question of prtncL-
pie OF grave general Importance anect-
ing the national rights OF such party, as
distinguished from the private rights OIL
which 1t was q representative, the 1urls-
dictioH Of the simple arbitration, COM
posed OF two arbitrators and an umpire
shall cease, and It shall be dealt with Dy
the more complex arbitration set down
for the settlement Of territorial claims,
and composed OF Judges of the united
States and British supreme courts.
The secretary pointed out tnat IN .l tiis
case question arising under the MOI
roe doctrine would certainly be regarded
as excepted from the scope OF the simple
or original arbitration. Then II iI
sbould come before the second tribunal,
nm adverse decision against the United
States, and consequently against the
doctrine could be had only In case iiVe OF
tba six nrbltrators so decided, an utterly
improbable contingency.
Then TO quiet apprehension that the
United States might suffer from the Sc
lection of an umpire, King oscar VINO VINO
would naturally sympathize win tne @
European side OF the case, the secretlly
pointed out that after all the only natul itll
that could result to the United States
,yorfd he a small financial loss.
Mr.. Olney declared that the treaty had
been negotiated with great care for the
protection OF American interests ana eN-
nressed the opinion that II ratified II
tyo,,Id he found a satisfactory safeguard
~ fhe natlonal interests of the United
states. He held that the treaty clearly
eSpressed its purpose and said there was
no hidden meaning concealed IN It's
nhraseology. He contended Tor us up
proval ns an advance in diplomacy IN
sccoriance with the tendency OF the
tI,nes. A general disposition was mani
tested by the committee 20 give the
treaty fair and full consideration anu
Mr.. 0lney was made to understand that
fhe committee wanted the fullest possi-
bIe Information and that haying la optu,.. ..,.
ed this. 1t would be disposed 70 taHe hI,. uP
and act uuoa the treaty on its merits.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-In the house OF

the course followed by the former home

grievance; but, he added. whatever tho
motives OF the political prisoners, they

Continuing, the home secretary
pointed out that In the withdrawal OF
the charge against Bell, (Edwara ]. W
ory), the country has just had proof OF
the fairness and impartlality OF the
courts.
Sir Matthew White Ridley also said
he was convinced that the police dis
coYery of the conspiracy with which
Ivory was connected, had saved the
public from great disaster. He added
that should the health or sanity Of the
political prisoners be affected, they
would be released. He did not desire
a repetition Of the results which un-
fortunately happened in the case OF Dr..
Thomas Gallagher. explaining that he
first heard DR. Gallagher was threaten

that be acted Immediately.
Mr.. Clancey referred to the case Of
Edward j. Ivory and said that tho
most important Crown witness was an
American informer, whom the govern
ment shrunk from putting in tho box.
II they had done so, continued Mr..
Clancy he felt certain that instead OF
proving Ivory's guilt It would have
shown the completely OF government ot-
flcials in the alleged conspiracy.
