TREATY ALMOST READY
Arbitration Agreement With
Great Britain Has Been Re-
duced to Writing.

1t is now possible to fix the date of
signature Of the British-American gen.
eral arbitration treaty within a week OF
ten days The exact status OF the nego-
tiations Is as follows: The convention
has been reduced to writing and has been
sent to the printer to prepare the rougn
proof. Some changes remain to be made
in the text. mainly IN matters OF phrase
ology, to which the greatest attention is
being given. with the purpose of avoiding
any ambiguity or possible chance of vary
ing construction when the treaty comes
to be tested by actual recourse to its pro-
visions when an issue arises between the
two countries.
One Point for Adjustment
There is also one point OF substance
to be adjusted, and the State Department
is awaiting the last word Of the British
foreign office upon the subject. There
are two ways in which the object sought
to be covered in this provision of the
treaty can be attained, either OF which
would be acceptable to the State De-
partment, so there is no reasonable doubt
Of q complete agreement. The next step,
therefore, will be to correct the proof to
comprise these slight changes, and reprint
the convention. ready for the signatures
of Secretary knox and Ambassador Bryce.

Kaiser Not to Visit Rome

Rome. April again Emperor
William OF Germany has had a
change of heart in regard to his visit
to Rome during jubilee year, and 1t is
now understood that the German roy
al party will avoid Rome on the re-
turn from Corfu. Diplomats of the
vatican are jubilant at the new turn
of affairs, but the italian people gen.
orally are deeply offended and the
kaiser on his next visit to Rome,
will get a very cool reception.
When the italian national celebra-
ton now in progress was first an
nounced, the pope issued a statement
declaring that the vatican would be
closed to visitors during the jubilee
year and asking that all monarchs
friendly to the vatican remain away
from Rome. Emperor William, who
had intended visiting the Eternal City
this year, cancelled his arrangements,
but this led to such a public clamor
in both Italy and Germany that he
reconsideTed his decision. After his
recent meeting with Emperor Franz
Joseph, of Austria, he again changed
his mind and 1t now seems definitely
decided that Rome will not see the
kaiser this year.
