AT LONDON AND PARIS.

London, Aug. 3.-The Anglo-A
can treaty to be signed late today will
be given out for publication in Lon
don and Washington simultaneously.
Should the House of Commons be in
session at the time the unusual course
will be adopted of submitting the
treaty to the lower chamber at the
same time that it goes to the United
States Senate. Otherwise it will be
given to the press in the usual way.
Sir Edward Grey. the foreign sec
rotary who frequently has been urged
by members of the House of Commons
to submit treaties to that House be-
fore publishing them. has agreed to do
so. in this case as the treaty is an en-
tirely new departure. The greatest
secrecy is maintained here in regard
to the text. This is believed to result
from the desire of Washington that
nothing of its contents leak out until
the Senate has had an opportunity of
seeing the document.

AT PARIS.
Ambassador Jusserand Signs Treaty,
Growing Honor of His Work.

Paris, Aug. 3.-American initiative in
unrestricted arbitration was crowned to-
day by the signing of a treaty of per-
manent peace by the terms of which
France and the United States agree to
submit to a neutral court all differences
that may arise between the two govern
ments even though the dignity. honor and
vital interests of either republic may be
involved
To Jean Jules Jusserand came the sig
nal honor of signing an arbitration treaty
between the United States and France
six hours ahead of the signing of the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain. This distinction is posi-
lively of more personal satisfaction than
that gained from having been the first
foreign diplomat to come forward with a
tentative acceptance of President Tafts
Informal proposal to all nations for Just
such treaty as has been concluded. The
latter incident at the time was quite over
looked except by the President and a few
of the guests of the American Society
for the Judicial Settlement of Interna-
tional Disputes when the Presidents pro-
posal was made at the annual dinner last
December.
throughout the negotiations compare
lively little was heard of the part taken
by Ambassador Jusserand in forwarding
the great movement. The negotia tons
with Great Britain had taken foremost
place in the news concerning the treaties
and it was not known that France had
actually begun negotiations until formal
announcement was made by Secretary
Knox last May.
1t was the British government which
took the initiative in negotiation for gen
eral arbitration. although France was the
first to recognize the possibility OF such
an agreement
A copy of the treaty assigned will be
forwarded Immediately to " ashington in
exchange for the copy signed at the
American capital this afternoon by Phi
lander c. Knox. the American secretary
of state. The government has definitely
decided not to publish the text of the
treaty until it has been given out al

of Representative Underwood. made
in the House yesterday. by declaring
that the statements which Mr. Under
wood criticized were based on Wash
ington dispatch which appeared in an
Omaha paper.
If that report is incorrect" said Mr.
Bryan, II take 1t for granted that Mr.
Underwood will read the report before,
the House and deny It.
If the report is correct I have moth
ing to withdraw. If it Is erroneous, I
shall withdraw by criticism of Mr.. I'm
derwood SO far as 1t Is based on his-
action in that particular case. What
ever the outcome in this particular
instance. do not withdraw my crit
icsm of Mr.. Underwood on other oc-
casions and I intend to take every OPP
portunity to give him some other
things to discuss"
Mr. Bryan took full responsibility
for the editorial which caused the stir
in Congress and was quick to call for
an explicit denial by Mr.. Underwood
of the report on which the editorial
was based.
Yes. | read the report of Mr.. I'm

to which he refers Is contained in an

Gus Of July 20. I am not sure of the

The dispatch stated that Mr.. Clark was
supported by number of members.
but that Representatives Underwood
and Fitzgerald led hght against the
resolution and defeated 1t. ~
THE report also quoted Congressman
Kitchin as insisting upon the intro
duction of bill reducing the tariff up
on iron and steel. and quotes Mr..
kitchin as calling attention to Mr.. I'm
derwood's holdings in the Steel Com
pany and as expressing the fear that
in case of failure to proceed with tho
reduction of the tariff on iron and steel
such failure might be attributed to

Art Commission had recommended
that Webster replying to Haynes in

over the platform, where notables from
all parts of the world have spoken.
This afternoon the Art Commission
as a result of the protests decided that
the famous painting shall not be re-
