"DEsTRoYnD THE TREATY.
London Times Comments on the Sena.
torial Amendments.

London TtmeS' Comment on the SeAa.
torial Amendments.
LONDON. March A.-The London Times.
in a leading editorial this morning. gives
expression to anything but q satisfied feel
ing as to the senatorial amendments of
the treaty Of arbitration. 1t says:
THE United States Senate has done what
optimists affected to believe impossible.
and what cooler observers thought ex-
tremely probable. 1t has destroyed the
arbitration treaty. The first amendment
accepted is alone sufficient to render the
treaty unworkable and utterly worthless.
The Senate has done more than to wreck
an instrument carefully forged by repre-
sentatives Of the two nations. 1t has struck
a blow at the principle of arbitration it
self. and at the confidence Of the world in
the American people. Its action strikes a
note of levity, wantonness and irresponsi-
BILE caprice, such is happily very rarely
struck by any legislative assembly. In
proportion to the blessings to be missed
must be our regret for the lamentable. the
almost ignominous fate of an honest and
well-meant endeayor.
The afternoon papers here bitterly crit
icise the action Of the United States Sem
ate in the case Of the arbitration treaty.
The ST. James Gazette says: The sena-
tors carried their point with that refine
ment of pettifoggers' cunning which en-
ables certain minds to gain their end with
out expressing 1t. The amended treaty not
only does not improve the present condi-
tions. but 1t renders arbitration practically
impossible, as while now there Is OBJ
stacle in the way of an agreement to arbi-
trate. hereafter such agreement: must be
approved by a two-thirds majority of the
Senate. in which the parties are generally
pretty evenly divided"
The Westminster Gazette says: 1T is
a very disappointing and disconccrting re-
suit of all the endeavors of Lord Salisbury
and Secretary Olney. The unpleasant as
pect of the matter is the anti-Engiish feel
ing underlying the action of the Senate
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses -he
opinion that "a promising plan has been
wrecked merely to please sensational JIM
goism and self-mportance. adding:
Americans generally. we firmly believe.
Will be thoroughly ashamed of their Sem
ing lot

blacks were on the sidewalk. They were

that the President and his private secretary
were passing along. aud they both lifted
their hats ard bowed to Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.
Porter caught sight Of them. but they es
capped the notice of the President until he
had passed, but Mr.. Porter evidently called
kis attention to the boot blacks. for the peo-
pie watching them noticed him turn
sQuareiy about. and the Grchirs again
