Julian to cover every usual contingency
by which difference could arise be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
Throughout the negotiations, the de-
sire of both the secretary and am
bassador was to make the language
so broad that when a controversy
arose, it would be accompanied by the
inevitable knowledge, on both sides OF
the water, that
ARBITRATION, NOT WAR
would result. The selection of King
Oscar as final arbitrator adds another
responsibility to that monarch, as he
has been heretofore chosen in connec-
ton with the Venezuela boundary ques-
ton. His selection closed one of the
most troublesome features of the
negotiation. There had been no Diff
Guilty in arranging that each country
should be represented by three arbi-
traitors of eminence in it's judicial bran
ches. The question then arose AS to
how a final decision could be reached
with the court equally divided. Lord
Salisbury felt that the distinguished
character of-the men constituting the
court would assure freedom from ma
tional prejudice. Mr.. Olney desired to
remove every possibility Of a deadlock
by having final arbitrator, who could,
In case of a tie, cast the concluding
vote. This raised a further question
as to the nationality Of the final arbi-
traitor. 1t was felt that in justice. he
could not be an American or al Eng
lishnan, while it was felt to De equally
DESTROYS that such am harmonious
agreement between the two English
speaking nations should not look, to
foreigner for it's final determination
Finally, however, rather than open the
possibility of a tie and the failure OF
upon in case the others did not agree
in choosing a final arbitrator. By this
means, not only is arbitration secured,
but arbitration which will be effec-
tive and final.
The period of five years was fixed AS
the limit of the treaty as means OF
observing the efficacy of the arrange
the treaty permanent If the
five-year trial brings the coed
results contemplated. Aside from the
agreement made today, it is felt TO
offer a plan OF arbitration, as u substi-
tute for war which will attract the at
tertion of European powers generally
and may lead TO further extension
of the plan.
Aside from the contamination of the
agreements, it has been an interesting
feature that all the negotiations were
carried on in Washington. b,th the
Venezuelan and general arbitration
treaties being signed here. 1t has been
largely a work between Mr.. Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, although the
latter was at all times in close ccln-
munication with the British foreign Of

ton in a way which would haVe-been
Impossible if he had not felt d deep

conclusion of the negotiations. When
they halted for a time and seemed III
danger of failure through misunder-
standing of some detail, the ambassa-
dor went to London, where extended
conferences were held with Lord Sal

returned and continued the negCtia-

off with the guard in pursuit. Mr..
White shot at him three times with
revolver, but none Of the bullets took
effect and the prisoner circled around
the large car company warehouse and
started off over the hill. A dozen Of

HEWITT TURNED DOWN.
Veteran Secretary of the State
Health Board Out

The greatest surprise handed down yet by
Gov. Clough in his distribution of state prizes
was the appointment yesterday of DR.. NJ H.
Reynolds, of this city, to succeed DR.. C. n.
Hewitt as member of the state board of
health and vital statistics. DR.. Hewitt has
been on the board SO long, and as secretary
so active in all its doings, that he has come
TO be looked upon essential part of it,
but it is evident that the governor thought
otherwise, for the Red Wing doctor was the
only one of the members whose term expired
who did not get billet informing him of
his reappointment. DR.. Perry H. Willard
and DR.. Franklin. Staples, of Winona, were
both reappointed.
DR.. Reynolds, the new appointee is a vet
Urinary surgeon, and is now veterinary at the
state school of agriculture and is understood
to be a man Of great skill and of liberal edu-
cation in his line. DR.. Hewitt was completely
taken by surprise at the announcement that
his successor had been appointed. He wouh
have completed twenty-five years Of continu-
Gus service on the board in March if he had
been reappointed.
Gov. Clough also reappointed the members
of the state game and fish commission w. s.

to those two countries the selection OF
the arbitrators. Some difficulty was
expected to be encountered on this
point, but apparently Venezuela is
content to rest her case In the hands
of the United States, leaving it to the
discretion of the United States su-

the United States or citizens of
Venezuela, or even of a third country,
