Arb tration Treaty Between United States
and Great Britain.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE general
arbitration treaty between Great Brit
ain and the United States has been
completed. To-day Secretary of State
Oney will sign the measure and will
then transmit it 10 congress for ratifi-
cation by the senate. The treaty as
drawn and agreed TO by Mr. Olney and
Ambassador Pauucefcte covers these
points: =
l II establishes high court OF arbftra-
LoIl. rms commission IS composed OF three
members OF the supreme court of the
Cnlted states, to be chosen by the presf-
Gent, ana of three members OF the high
court OF appeals of Great Britain to be
elected by the prime minister.
= The treaty is to be operative for a
period Of five years from the date of the
exchange of notifications.

curing the life OF the treaty with the ex-
ccption of the Rehring sea question ana the
Venezuelan dispute.
1. No dispute involving national honor
or sovereignty is to be submitted TO the
arbitration commission.
AS soon as the treaty is sent to the
senate and ratified by that body the
machinery will be set in motion that
will send various disputed boundary
questions to the arbitration tribunal
for comparatively early settlement.
The reason for the withdrawal of Lord
Salisbury's opposition to having the
treaty signed and sent to the senate is
that the differences that arose over the
Venezuelan treaty have been satisfac-
toriIv conpromised

Washington, Jan. little arrange
ments for the Inauguration of President

manner very satisfactory to the com
mlttee having them in charge, aud it is
believed that the decorations. ilIumina-
lions and ceremonies incident to this
event will at least equal in beauty and
lmpressiveness those of any former in
auguration. Gen. Clay, from the COM
mlttee on military organizations, re-
ported that there would be in the pa
rade one entire division from Pennsyl-
vania, consisting of the governor and
his staff. division and brigade COM
Inanders and their stats, three regi-
ments of ten companies each, twelve
regiments of eight companies each, one
battalion of four companies, one sepa-
rate company, three troops of cavalry,
two companies of naval militia-in all
$500 men. Maryland will send her en-
tire national guard, and large bodies
OF troops are expected from New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts and other states. The cadets
from West Point and from Annapolis
also will be in line. as well as a large
number of crack military organizations
from different parts of the country. APP
plications from many civic societies and
clubs for positions are being received,
and this feature of the parade will no
doubt be unusually fine. The inaugural
ball promises to be an exceptionally
brilliant affair.

master had been forced to leave
his Office in charge of deputy,
and at the time of writing, was in
hiding. He had received Motif
cation that mob would wait on
him In short time, would request
his rerignation, and if it was not
rendered the members OF the mob
would not be responsible for the
consequences. The postmaster
had deemed prudence the better
part of valor and left. The letter
asked for instruction and an in
spector was sent to the place to
make an investigation, but nothing
has been heard of him or the post
master.
