otherwise. shall be subject to arbitration under
this treaty except by special agreement

II occurs, to the King OF Sweden and Norway as
the umpire where the tribunal fails to agree
upon such umpire
After the report was made Mr.. Sherman asked
that, inasmuch the text Of the convention had
been made public. the injunction Of secrecy be
removed from the text Of the amendments but
Senator Morgan objected. and the request was
denied. No attempt was made to arrange time
for the consideration Of the treaty. nor was any
thing said about debating ii in open session

Of the treaty presented among them one
from the New-York Board OF Trade by Mr.
