ARBITRATION IN FAVOR
NEW TREATIES PLANNED.
Negotiations on 7cith England and
to Begin 7cith France.
the King OF Spain last spring.

Washington Oct. 31-Dr W. Evans Darby,
secretary of the Peace Society of London, pre-
sented to President Roosevelt to-day memorial
from the society urging that a treaty of arbitra-
tion be negotiated between the United States
and Great Britain The President informed DR.
Darby that he was in entire sympathy with the
movement and that negotiations for such a
treaty now were in progress.
France and the United States expect 70 begin
the negotiation Of an arbitration treaty soon
The treaty will be known as the Hay-Jusserand
arbitration treaty, and, according to the present
programme. will closely follow the lines of the
AngIo-French treaty. Some time ago the French
government through itsAmbassador at Wash
ington. informed Secretary Hay that France was
reedy and willing to conclude such cOrven-
tion whenever it was the pleasure of the Unite1
States Mr. Hay expressed thanks for this re-
newed evidence of friendship the part of the
French republic and intimated desire TO open
negotiations soon.
Widespread interest has been aroused through
out the diplomatic corps by the announcement Of
Secretary Hay in his recent speech at New
York that the government hoped soon 10 begin
the preparation of arbitration treaties with all
countries willing to sign them. There is already
ecidsnt among European diplomats keen de-
sire to take the lead in this movement.
1t is pointed out that. while few questions Of
Importance are pending between this country
and France. the negotiation of arbitration
treaty at time when the diplomatic horizon is
so clear will insure an early conclusion of the
convention 1t is believed that Italy will be
found favorable to the negotiation OF an arbitra-
ton treaty with this country.

trip the airshfp sailed slowly over the exact
spot from which it had risen tweuty-eight min
utes previously. and glided about one hundred
feet further west where it settled to the ground.
The descent of the Arrow the signal for
great demonstration. Dozens OF hands were
upstretched to grasp the frame of the flying

IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU. J


Washington, Oct 31.-The total campaign
fund at the disposal of the Republican National
Committee this year is considerably less than
half what It amounted to four years ago and
less than third of the total of eight years ago
yet assurances of q great Republican victory
continue to reach Washington from every part
Of the country That success will be achieved
under the most gratifying circumstances is
shown by the fact that not a single pledge OF any
sort or description has been given by Chairman
Cortelyou or any authorized to represent
him TO any individual. corporation or interest
This assurance. given to the President, and re-
ported in these dispatches several weeks ago,
was reiterated by the national chairman on the
occasion of his last visit to Washington on Fri
dav. Naturally, great industrial enterprises,
some Of which barely escaped ruin in the l 8
Democratic administration, and others, which
see that an administration of the nations af-
fairs bv the party which formally declares that
protection is robbery" would force them into
bankruptcy. have contributed to the Republican
campaign fund. So have certain labor organ

administration.
Some corporations have contributed to both
campaign funds. as is their habit; and stiI
others, which, having failed in their efforts to
nravent the creation Of the Bureau Of Corpora
tions. to make the government contributors to
their particular style of advertising or TO
merge their competing lines of railways, have
contributed exclusively to the Democratic cam
paign fund Any one who denies that the cor
norattons and the men who make them up have
contributed to the campaign funds of both
parties exhibits total lack Of familiarity with
present day conditions
The demand Of certain Democrats that the

fund he made public is. however pharisaical'
such q thing never has been done and never
