Itsesms to be supposed that the treaty
may require the contracting parties to
arbitrate questions Of policy. But by re-
ferring to the treaty Itself, IL will be
found thatssthe parties have agreed to

and subject to the Limitations of this

submitted are all included under three
heads, viz: Pecuniary claims territorial
claims. and call other matters in differ

requires the arbitration Of matters of
policy. The term "rlghts,'' rs used in
the treaty, can only mean legal rights.
The words of the treaty antly define the
agTeen emit to arbitrate SO as to exclude
from it's operation all questions not suit
able for judicial docision; and it could
no more be- held by either party to re-
quire Great Britain to arbitrate the prin-

party to arbitrate It's standard of value

FEDERAL GRAND JURY MAY ACT'

WALL STREET MEN TESTIFY REGARDING
BuCKETsHoP OPERATIONS.
Whom the United States Grand Jury. Of which
James McCreery is the foreman. was sworn In on
Wednesday, Judge Benedict said there was noth-
ing in particular to which he had been requested
by District-Attorney Macfarlane TO call the atten-
ton Of the Grand Jury Still It leaked out yester-
day that an important matter had been brought
10 the attention OF the Grand Jury. The New
York Stock Exchange is anxious to put stop to
tho bucketshop business, and is desrous or
furnishing the United States authorities with In
formation regarding the recent shady trans
actions In the Street. This Is the outcome OF the
exposures regarding the operations OF the al
leced banking firm of f. S. Dean Co.
When the Grand Jury convened yesterday a
number of wel-known brokers who had been
summoned by United States deputy marshals
appeared witnesses. They were INTERCEPTED
concerning the so-called brokerage firms against
which the postal authorities have recently Issued
fraud orders. Postofice Inspector Jacobs. who
has had charge OF the secret Investigations. was
the principal witness against the bucketshop
keepers. 1t is probable that in the course of the
next few days indictments will be found against
bucketshop men.
Among the Wall Street men who were sum-
moned to testify before the Grand Jury were said
to be Joseph T. Rock. James A. McMicken and
others who were witnesses before the Gov
erning Committee of the Stock Exchange when
