Pauncefate. the British ambassador. who
is just back from London, win probably
confer with Secretary Sherman at an early
day concerning the reopenlng of negotia-
tlons for an Angio-Anerscan treaty OF ar

the British authorities that the president
would view with favor a reopentng of the
negotiations, and was hopeful that peace
treaty would be secured. Since then Sir
Julian has visited London and has had an
opportunity to learn the opinion of the for
elan office as we'll as British feeling on
the subject. All tendencies on that side
are favorable 10 arbitration. although
there is a general indisposition TO take up
the treaty question long as there Il a
chance that Il would meet the same fate
as the Olney-Pauncefote treaty.
