WILLING TO ABOLISH WAR
Great Britain and France Agree on Ar.
bitration Treaty.
SIMILAR TO HAY.pAUNcEFOTE PACT.
The Treaty Is Mainly Significant Ia Being the
elimination Of the Rapproachmeni Be-
tween France and Great Britain After Cen
turtles Of Warfare and the Maintenance Of
Defensive Armaments.

Paris (By Cable).-It was learned in
authoritative quarters here that the
terms OF the general treaty OF arbitra-
ton between France and Great Britain
have been concluded between Foreign
Minister Delcasse and the authorities
in London
All the substantial features OF the
treaty have been settled. The formali-
ties are so far advanced that the treaty
is considered to be an accomplished
fact.
The treaty follows the general lines
OF the Hay Paunccfotc arbitration treaty
which to a considerable extent served
as a model. 1t is pointed out that the
Hay Paunceiote treaty, although reject
cd by the United States. now serves the
useful purpose OF giving a basis for this
important Anglo-French treaty. The
officials also view the negotiations as
evidence OF the sympathetic attitude OF
the United Stats, France and Great
Britain on the practical adoption OF
the theory OF arbitration.
The treaty is mainly significant in be-
ing the elimination OF the rapproche-
ment between France and Great Britain
after centuries OF warfare, the main
tcnancc of defensive armamcnts and the
recent animosities growing out OF the
Fashoda incident and the South African
war. 1t is also significant OF the ten
dency toward Encouragement OF the
European political alliances.
The treaty is mainly the outcome Of
the exchange OF visits between King
Edward and President Loubct and the
visit OF Baron d'Estournelles de Con-
slant and the French Parlamentarians
to London.
French feeling heretofore has been
rather sccptical over the practical reali-
zation OF the treaty, and when its ad-
vanced stage is known it will occasion
widespread attention and discussion in
France and throughout the rest OF
EurODc

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Chinese Treaty Signed.

Secretary OF State John Hay receiv-
cd information that the commercial
treaty between the United States and
China was signed at Shanghai by Sheng
Kun Pao, Lu Kai Huan for China, and
United States Minister Z. II. Conger,
Consul-General Goodnow and Mr.. Sea-
man, for the United States. The sign
ing OF this treaty is considered great
diplomatic victory for the United
States.
The principal concession made by
China under the terms OF this pact is
the opening to foreign trade OF the
province OF Manchura, which has hith-
crto been closed to the commerce OF
the world. Although Russia for many
weeks attempted to stand in the way OF
this country in its efforts to obtain
open ports in Manchuria, she finally
was forced to give way to the insistent
demands Of the State Department. 1t
is held at the State Department that
no matter whether Russia cvacuates
Manchuria or not, this Manchurian
trade will be open to the United States
and the other powers OF the world.
In view OF the great Importance OF
the treaty signed at Shanghai high
official OF the Government, who is not.
however, connected with the State De-
partment, made the following state
ment regarding it:
The principal points OF treaty are
briefly as follows:
"First-Settlemen OF the long-vexed
question OF internal taxation in China.
"Second-Recognition OF Americas
right OF residence throughout the En-
pre for missionary work.
"Third-Protcction OF patents, trade
marks and copyrights.
"Fourth-Mining rights.
"Fiith-Opening OF new localities to
international trade in a part OF the En-
pirc in which we have vast commercial
interests.
"Sixth-Right to carry on trade, in
dustries and manufacturers in all open
ports OF China.
The negotiations between China and
the United States. which eliminated in
the signing OF the treaty, were initiated
under the provisions OF Article XI OF
the final protocol signed by the pow
crs at Peking on September 7, 1901,
terminating the ant-ioreign outbreak
OF the preceding year. The present
treaty has Tor its object TO extend the
commercial relations between the CON
tracing powers by amending our eX-
isting treaty OF commerce and naviga
tion with China and other subjects con-
corning commercial relations, with the
object oi facilitating them.
