Washington, D. c., July 9. Within
week or ten days the signatures of
the secretary of state, Philander c.
Knox, and the British ambassador,
James Bryce, will be placed on the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain to provide for the arbi-
tration of all questions arising be-
tween the two countries, even matters
of vital Importance and national honor.
The signing of the treaty will bring
to an end the negotiations begun at
the instance of President Taft and
Ambassador Bryce early this year,
and will mark what many believe to
be the greatest step toward interna-
tional peace ever taken.
Some changes remain to be made in
the text, mainly in the phraseology,
to which the greatest attention is be-
ing given to avoid any ambiguity or
possible chance of misconstruction
when the treaty comes to be tested by
actual recourse to its provisions.
1t is to be a model from which general
arbitration treaties between the Uni
ted States and other nations will be
drawn.
Only one point of substance remains
to be adjusted and the State depart
ment is awaiting the last word of the
British foreign office on that subject.
There are two ways in which the OBJ
ject to be covered in this provision of
the treaty can be attained; either
would be acceptable to the State de-
partment, so there is no reasonable
doubt of complete agreement.

Frank C. Lowry of New York, general
salesman for the Federal Sugar Rein
ing company, before the sugar
trust" investigating committee today.
In explanation, Mr.. Lowry said his
company did not receive an allowance
for lighterage in New York harbor as
the sugar trust" did. Mr.. Lowry
will continue his testimony tomorrow.
Frank L. Meals, a Philadelphia
shipping agent, testified that while
uniform rates are in operation, big
concerns with "inside information"
about intended changes in rates or
which receive advantage in the shape
of drayage, put smaller dealers under
a handicap.
"Rates are so complicated, ''said he,
"that big concern like the American
Sugar Refining company must employ
a rates expert at $4,000 a year to
work out rates or all of its directors
would go to Jail for violating the in
terstate commerce laws.
Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan, exposed an opinion that any
wide-awake man would know about
proposed changes in rates.

of California, "the same kind of wide
awake fellows have been cheating the
public for 20 or 25 years.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS

Washington, July 14.-Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, drew the fire of Sena
tor Williams, of Mississippi, today in
the course of the discussion of a mo.
tion by Williams for the retention OF
"Jim" Jones, the 82-year-old negro,
who had been Jefferson Davis body
guard and in whose custody the seal
of the Confederacy was entrusted, re-
tained on the Senate payroll as la
borer.
Senator Hepburn acquisced in the
retention of the negro for services
formerly given to the senate, but not
because of loyalty to an Infamous
cause"
"But for the parliamentary rules
that restrain me, !" declared Williams,
"I would have a few words to say
about the kind of human being in
whose heart such thoughts can exist. I"
Senator Williams added with great
feeling that he was mot prepared to
hear civilized man in the goth CEN
tury call an Infamous cause the
cause for which his (Williams) father
had laid down his life.
"There is no right of American cit
izenship," Mr.. Williams added, that
permits man to insult the dead. "
The senate sustained Williams by.
a vote Of 81 to 18, leaving Jones on
the payroll at $720 year as labor

Washington, D. c., July 10-The
Canadian reciprocity bill emerged un-
scathed tonight from the most serious
ordeal it has experienced in the SEN
ate. The amendments offered by Sen
ator Cummins, of Iowa, and the two
offered by Mr. Simmons, of North
Carolina, all seeking to increase the
number of Canadian manufactured
articles that shall be admitted free of
duty, were voted down
The vote in flavor of the amend
ments was so small that Senator
Cummins asked for only five roll calls,
although he had announced his inten-
tion of asking for at least ten. The
maximum vote for his tariff amend
ment was IA, compared with a maxi
mum vote of SO against.
The defeat of the Cummins amend
ments clears the situation in the SEN
ate and leaves the reciprocity bill
much nearer final passage.
Senator Bailey offered an amend
ment to the house wooden tariff bill,
imposing a duty of 25 per cent on raw
wool. He will ask for its considera-
tion, and of his farmers free list
amendment, in the near future.
On the proposal to put flour and
cereal products on the list of articles
which the United States will admit
free, Senator Cummins was defeated,
So to IA; on the proposal to put agri-
cultural implements on this list he
was defeated SO to IL; on the pro-
posal to put lumber on the list he was
defeated SO to IL.

/ Washington, D. c., July 11.-An
inquiry into Alaska's industrial devel.
opment, second in Importance only to
the Ballinger-P -Pinchot investigation,
will be interrogated tomorrow by the
house committee on expenses of the
Interior department.
Instead of having Miss M. F. Abb
bott tell the story of her discovery of
the famous "Dick to Dick" letter,
the committee will examine govern
ment officials on the general condition
of the territory.
1t is planned to call G. H. Brooks,
Alaskan head of the geological sur
vey, as a witness. He will be fol-
lowed by witnesses from the War de-
partment, which controls the leasing
of water fronts in that country.
The possible connection of C. P.
Taft with the subject is to be subor-
dinated for the time being. The com
mittee will endeavor to find out if the
Guggenheim interests, when defeat in
the so-called Cunningham claims to
the great coal fields of Alaska seemed
inevitable, undertook to assert control
of the coal deposits by monopolizing
the entrances to the interior of Alas
ka, if recognition of the Ryan entries
would effect this.
1t is for this purpose that the com
mittee has invited experts on Alaskan
and the coast line to testify
as to the conditions in the neighbor-
hood Of Controller bay. The inquiry
may require many days. Other than
recognizing the absolute freedom of
the president from congressional in
quiry, it is said tonight no limitations
would be placed on the inquiry.
