Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
agreed to report favorably on the arbi-
tration treaty with amendments. The
committee was i'm session for three
hours, at the conclusion of which time
1t adjourned after having agreed by an
almost unanimous vote to recommend
the ratification OF the treaty with
amendments. All but two of these
amendments were merely verbal. One
Of the two which are essential strikes
out the clause providing for the selec-
tion of King Oscar as umpire, leaving
II to the two powers to select an umpire
when one is considered necessary.
The Other Important Amendment.
The other important amendment is an
addition to article 1 of the treaty and
reads as follows:
!, mo question which affects the for
| eign or domestic policy Of either Of the
contracting parties, or the relations of
either with any other state or power,
by treaty or otherwise, shall be subject
to arbitration under this treaty except
by special agreement"
This agreement was agreed TO by the
unanimous vote of the committee. The
amendment eliminating the umpire
clause was agreed to by vote OF tC

out the King Oscar clause is under
stood to have been cast by Senator

were cast by men who had opposed sill
