was adopted some years ago, and it is

Maxwell before taking action on the
matter.

is unable to confirm any of the rumors
as to probable acceptance.
There is quite a prevailing feeling. how

have followed the recent course of af-

to an acceptance.
1t was pointed out in this connection by
an official that if a rejection was contem-
plated ii probably would have been made
at once whereas the delay of about two
weeks since the amended treaty reached
the London foreign Office gave evidence
that there was a desire on the part of the
cabinet officials there to consider the
matter with much deliberation in the
hope OF bringing the two governments

Recently Senator Trainor asked Senator
krum when hearing was to be held on

tersely, tWhenever one is asked for" No
