Morning ddvertisey-London,A April 20
If Great Britain and the United States
could come to so perfect an understand
ing that it would be possible for them
to agree, once for all. that any differ
ences that might arise between them
should be settled by arbitration. the
moral force of their example would be
so powerful on other nations that in time
they would at least desire to follow il.
But whether this is a possibility Of the
near future il would be difficult TO say.
Already there is strong sentiment in its
favor. for, beyond all question, we should
feel ashamed to go 70 war with the
United States for any cause which we
did not feel to be yitsl to our national
existence. But something more than
this is required. There is required
complete mutual trust and sympathy,
and genuine and deep desire on the
part OF each nation that the other shall
maintain les existence, its extent, and
its po yer unImpaired. When we can
be sure that the only jealousies remain
ing between us are the jealousies which
self respecting patriotism implies, we
sbsll be near to making an ar bitration
treaty which will be something more
than the expression OF a pious aspira
tion. Such a state Of things IS not
impossible, and events OF late have
seemed TO be pushing us towards il.
But n it should come about, and should
have the happy result Of setting, as it
were, fashion among nations, Il would
still have to be remembered the for the
complete fulflment of the dream of
univt rsal peace, we and all other nations
would have to regard one another as we
should then regard the United States.
The feeling, It IS to be feared, is likely
to be OF slow growth, and perhaps a
little self examination would make US
believe that we ourselves are not
altogether prepared to assume it.

Mataafa party sent q large delegation
into Apia since the Badgers departure.
This delegation met the three consuls
sitting as q provisional government and
assured them again Of the desire Of Ma
taafa and his followers to keep the
peace. Nothing further took place at
the meeting.
The provisional government is being
carried on without any hitch SO far by
the three consuls. OF this body Luther
Osborne, the American consul general,
is chairman. He is also acting chief
Justice for Samoa and continues to act
as the United States consular represen-
tative. DIR. Solf, as president, claimed
the office of chief justice and has re-
ferred the whole matter to the German
government. He was, however, ulti-
mately persuaded to withdraw his res
ignation, which he had written to the
commissioners, and accept the holding
of the Office by Mr.. Osborne. Mr. Os-
borne declined to accept the judgship
unless DR.. Solf was willing for him to
act, and the doctor having given way
removed all difficulties.

owners of the ship Abbey, seized by
Admiral Dewey oil the charge of carry

ENGLAND NOT AGaREss1yE,

Official Blue Book shows Conciila-
ton Policy in Transvaal Matter.
London, Aug. ga new blue book
on the Transvaal was issued last night,
but the Boer reply to Mr.. Chamberlain's
proposal has not yet been divulged. A
summary of the contents of the blue
book reveals the fact that the Trans
vaal proposed arbitration on all differ
ences under the conventions Of 1881 and
1854 Sir Alfred Ailner opposes arbitra-
ton, firstly because the uitlander
grievances are still unredressed, and
Ssecondly because the scheme is iinprac-
tticable.
Then comes Mr. Chamberlain's joint
inquiry proposal. first made public in
the famous house of commons speech.
That dispatch suggested inquiry into
the seven years franchise and also in
vited President Kruger to another con-
ference to discuss arbitration and other
uitlander grievances.
The Beers acknowledge the receipt of
the invitation. but the actual reply is
not included in the blue book issued
last night.
Sir Alfred Miner criticises the seven
years franchise bill severely. The blue
book gives the Boer idea of arbitration
also the full text of Mr.. Chamberlain S
proposal.
President Kruger only asked for ar
bitrat!on on important differences aris-
Ing from the various interpretations of
the conventions of 1881 and 1854. He
proposed that the arbitration tribunal
consist of one arbitrator from each
country, who shall together choose a
third person, not subject of either state,
who shall act as president of the COM
mission. II the two arbitrators can not
agree as to the third member the two
governments must together appoint
president, but the president must be a
foreigner to both states. A majority of
votes would then decide every case.
Either country might reserve points
upon which 1t refused to arbitrate. The
court was to choose It's own place for
sitting and the procedude should fol-
low that agreed to by the institute of
international law at The Hague in 1875,
unless amended by both parties. The
arbitration court was to last provision
ally for five years. and after that the
duration was to be settled by treaty.
Sir Alfred Miner opposed the above
suggestion for two reasons First, be-
cause the uitlander grievances must

scheme was too indefinite and included
foreign interference. which Great Brit
ain would never admit.

AdniraI watson III.

Washington. Aug. 26.-The Army and
Navy Register in its issue today says:
Recent letters from Manila mention
the illness of Admiral Watson as the
source of great anxiety to his officers.
The illness is the effect of an accident
which occurred to his launch while he
was on board on July II. Requiring to
make a trip up the river, the admiral
started in his launch, the strong wind
was blowing. and as the launch. the In
dine, went under the bridge over the
river known as the bridge of Spain, the
strong current. aided by the wind, sat
against the little boat, and it was taken
out of It's course and thrown against a
hawser from a sailing vessel. This rope
carried away the awning and, striking
the smokestack. took that also. Later
the admiral developed serious heart
trouble. and In consequence he was re-
garded as being in an extremely criti-
cal condition at the date of the letters
on July II. No one but his physician is
allowed access to him.

Otis, EXCLUSION Order

Washington, Aug. 26.-Gen. OTIS or
der excluding Chinese from the Philip
pines is very embarrassing to the ad-
ministration, which is placed between
two fires-the Chinese government on
the one hand and the English and Ger
man governments on the other. The
only information in official circles con-
cerning Gen. Otis action comes through
the protest Of the Chinese minister. 1t
is stated at the war department that
Gen. Otis has sent no notice of his or
der, although the Chinese government
has had time to instruct its representa-
tives here to exert his influence to have
the obnoxious decision of the general
countermanded.
The British and German residents in
the Philippines are reported to have
called upon their home governments to
intervene on the grounds that the order
prevents them from bringing into the
Islands Chinese laborers, cooks, ETC.,
and interferes with the development of
their property. The most important
phase of Gen. Otis action is the COM
plications which 1t may cause in our
friendly relations with China
The administration can take no action
until 1t has heard from Gen. Otis. and
surprise Is expressed that he has not
more promptly reported an order which
involves our relations with q friendly
government.
