There is a good prospect Of the speedy corr

reason to believe that President Mckinney VIII

fore any subject is finally referred to the Court
of Arbitration such reference shall be approVeo
by the Queen on one hand and by the American
senate on the other. 1t is expected -that sucH
a proviso will induce the Senate to ratify the
