London, I'eb. /. .-T"c afternoon news
papers generally express great disap-
pointment at the proposed amendment
of the arbitration treaty, and the West
Minister Gazette hopes that public
opinion in the United States will make
itself heard before the senate acts upon
the report of it's committee on foreign
relations.
The Phi Mall Gazette says: "The
committee is doing its best to make
way with the treaty. It has not dared
to brave public opinion in absolutely
Withholding it's approval: but it has
left it valueless.'
The Globe remarks: 1.-THE amend
ment excludes every question of real
imopT tance and leaves the treaty mean
ingless. The most dignified course for
the senate to pursue would be to de-
clare that the treaty has become worse
than useless, and decline to ratify it,"
The Globe adds: mot many tears
would be shed over its fate IL spite Of
the premature cock Growing"
