Words 81 Doubtful Meaning in Treaty.

Does this country want to submit us
btration? Does 1t want to admit that
its right to secure control Of water
way necessary to it's perfect defence
and communication between eastern
and western shores is open to question
and subject for arbitration? 1t does
not seem so, yet Secretary Olney could
not effectively deny that any dispute
arising over the Nicaragua canal
would under the terms of the treaty
have to be submitted to arbitration.
lie was unable to convince the Senate
committee that the words 'or other
wise in article ~ of the treaty would
not include the Monroe doctrine in their
scope. The text of this article is as
follows:
"All pecuniary claims or groups OF
claims, exceeding one hundred thou
sand pounds, and all matters in re-
spect whereof either of the parties shall
have rights against the other. under
treaty or otherwise. provided they do
not involve territorial claims, shall be
tried by the tribunal constituted as
follows" &c.
1t would seem that Salisbury by
means of the Queens speech to Parlia-
ment has indicated such a construction
of that article as would include the
Nicaragua canal, if not the Alaskan
boundary question and the Monroe
doctrine. In that speech she expressed
the confidence that AL differences
which may arise" can be adjusted I'M
der the treaty. All may rest assured
nothing in the treaty which can open
to arbitration the matter of strength
ening the fertilization of Britains out
posts all about us. nd she may be ex-
pected to keep them in condition for
immediate warfare a menace to this
country of what impends in event OF
conflict with US. Surely we are not
wise to surrender any of our rights un-
der the Monroe doctrine nor do any
thing which Salisbury may use as a
sop for the defeat he suffered in the
Venezuelan affair. The treaty, as II
is, may be all right but it should be
so pronounced by the Senate Only
after the most careful scrutiny and
thorough deliboration. This view OF
the Senate's duty. moreover. is gain
ing ground.

There are indications that the ad-
ministration has abandoned it's scheme
for bringing about peace in Cuba
whether or not it might be agreeable

in the ministry. Anyhow it is crafty
