THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senator Daniel Antagonizes it for Many
Reasons.


Reasons
Washington, Feb. 12.-The Senate COM
mittee or foreign relations will to.mor-
row morning endcavor to frame an
amendment that will meet the objections
that have been advanced in debate against
the general treaty OF arbitration with
Great Britain
Unless this amendment can ic satisfac-
torily framed it is probable that the con-
Sidcration of the treaty may not be pushed
until after the fourth of March.
This amendment, which will be pat
erned after that which Mr.. Morgan YES
terday gave notice he would o fer at the
proper time, will change article l so that
1T will provide for the submission under
this treaty for arbitration OF all subjects
subject to the limitation of this treaty
and in the manner and form provided by
either OF the contracting parties for the
negotiation and ratification of treaties -
During the debate in committee Mr..
Daniel antagonized the treaty on general
principles as being observation-disclosures to
the United Statey. Cases for arbitration
were not so numerous that II general
treaty should he provided. Each case
should he met when it came up. He
also criticised that provision which makes
the members of the supreme court mem.
bers of the tribunal. The members of
that court would, in all probability, he
said, be called upon at some time, either
before or after the arbitration, to sit ju
uiclally on tie same or similar ques-
tlons. To he compelled to act in this
dual capacity would he embarrassing to
the members OF the court and might
initiate against their sitting on the benc h
on certain cases. Such contingency
ought not TO he made possible
