one of the cabin passengers, an officer in
the India service who was coming home

THE TREATY OF PEACE IS NOW
IN HANDS OF THE PRESIDENT
Delivered TO the Executive by Judge Day Yesterday in the Blue
Room Of The White House.

ly conceivable, for further negotiations on
any OF the subjects touching the treaty, 1t
is said that this will be done by direct
negotiation with the Madrid government,
or through an entirely new commission
1t Is rather remarkable fact that the
commissioners were enabled to complete
their work in Paris in almost exactly the
time predicted by Judge Day, the presi-
dent of the American commission, before
he left the United States, although there
was a complete change in the instructions
relating to at least one most important
subject included in the treaty after the
commission reached Paris. 1t is expected
that the treaty will be submitted to the
United States senate almost Immediately
after the reassembhng of congress.
