NEw PEACE TREATY OUTLINED.
An English Einmisary Coming to Urge It's
 Adoption by the Senate.

London, Nov. 4.-Mr. William R. Gre mer, the former member of parliament Tor the Haggerston division of the Shore Ditch, editor of the Arbitrator and first secretary of the International Workingmen's association and secreta- ry of the International Arbitration league, sails for New York from South ampton, Saturday next, on board the steamer St. Paul.
 MT. Cremer informed @ representative of the Associated Press that he was the bearer of, and would present to every senator, an address to the United States senate signed by over seven thousand workingmen, each of them being an officer of 0 trades union, and repre- senting altogether 2,T50,000 British worlingmen.
 Continuing, MT. Cremer said:
 "On a previous visit to the United States it was frequently said to me that the arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain ema- mated from the Marquis of Salisbury and the privileged classes of Great Britain, with the view to tie the hands of the United States, but proof of the unanimity of feeling on the subject here
 
 only half dozen refusals of the invit- ation to sign the address to the United State senate urging the concluding of the arbitration treaty between the two countries.
 q shall probably remain in America for several months. I go direct to Washington, where I shall be joined by the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Berry pastor of the Queens street church, who has gone to the United States in behalf of the Federated Free Churches of Great Britain. At the invitation of the Rev. w. H. Milburn, the chaplain of the United States senate, Dr. Berry will act as chaplain at the opening of the senate.
 q can say on reliable authority that some months ago a new arbitration treaty was briefly outlined; but beyond that nothing has been done"
 Washington, Nov. 4.-Sir Julian Paun- cefote, the British ambassador, who is just back from London, probably will confer with Secretary Sherman at an early day concerning the re-opening of negotiations for an .Anglo-American treaty of arbitration. There is said to be no disposition on either hand to press the subject unduiy, but rather to allow it to develop along natural lines and responsive to public senti- ment MT. sherman made known to the British authorities some months ago that the president would view with favor a re-opening of the negotiations and was hopeful a peace treaty ulti- mately would be secured. The British officials were much gratifed at this suggestion but no negotiations were en- tered upon.
 Since then Sir Julian has visited Lon don and has had an opportunity to learn the views of the foreign office as well as the state of British feeling on the subject. All the tendencies on the other side are favorable to arbitration, although there is a general indisposi- tion to take up the treaty question as long as there is chance that it would meet the same fate as the Olney-Paun- cefote treaty. As a result of that treaty an arbitration league has been formed throughout England, it's aim being to bring about a peace compact between that country and this. E.
 While Sir Julian was in Londcl he was called upon by MT. Cremer, the member of parliament who has been foremost in advocating arbitration and who visited the United States on that mission. MT. Cremer is as hopeful as ever that arbitration between the two countries will be secured.
