Washington, d. c., ,Sarch S.-Amer-
lean participation in general arbltra-
ton of International difficulties is Il
dead issue 50 far as concerns this ses-
sion OF Congress, and probably Tor
many years to come, according TO gov
ernment officials who summed up the
Senate's action yesterday in stripping
the proposed arbitration treaties with
France, and Great Britain OF their Vi
Ia, features.
Treaties Were Sadly Manoed.
There is little expectation that Pres.
ident Taft Will submit the treaties in
their mangled form to either of the
powers for possible approval. The
amended treaties, sent TO the White
House today. will await the return to
Washington Of President Taft and if
routine is followed he will send them
to the State Department.
Secretary Knox, who today is due at
Amapala, Honduras, will be a advised
by cable of what has happened as a
matter of form, some consultation
must be had between the President
and theSecret2Ty before the next step
can be taken.
As a matter Of courtesy, the British
and French ambassadors will be in
| formed of the Senate's action, but that
| viii not be regarded as an invitation
to them to accept the amendments un-
| less followed by further representa-
| tion from the State Department.
England Not Surprised.
London, March S.-The evening
newspapers expressed no surprise at
| the emasculation of the arbitration
treaties by the United States Senate
so as to eliminate from their opera
ton the Monroe doctrine, immigra
ton and state debts.
The Pail Mall Gazette says sucf
treaties are only possible between ma
tions which are never likely TO fight
and there is mo need TO sign and sea
declaration uf love and affection fo1
ones brother" The japanese must b'
laughing in their sleeves, says the Ga
zette. at seeing that the little piece
OF sugar. by which the renewal of the
alliance with Great Britain was Sc
cured, has melted away.
Dixon Denies.
Washington, D. c., March S.-Sena
tor Joseph NJ. Dixon, campaign mana
ger for Theodore Roosevelt, denount
ed as a forgery a telegram publishe
today purporting to be the text of
| message sent by Senator Dixon to Nj
T Roosevelt yesterday. The suppose

, brief wire apprising him of the yot

S Commenting last night on the Sc
