disappointed by the rejection Of
the general arbitration treaty
concluded with England by the
Cleveland administration than
President Mckinley. According
10 a recent American paper he in
tends preparing new arbitration
treaty which will omit the feat'
ures that created so much oppo-
sition in the Senate. These OBJ
jectons were the naming of King
Oscar of Sweden as the fifth ar
bitrator, including the Monroe
doctrine, the Nicaragua canal,
prohibiting the Senate from yot-
ing on each subject of arbitration,
and regulating the tenure of office
of the arhitrators. The new
treaty will probably be drawn up
during the present year, and sub
bitted TO the Senate ut its next
