Treaty Likely Now Deaa.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Unoffical
adyices received here to-day to the effect
t1At the Danish Senate had refused to
-a,fy the arbitration treaty negotiated
with that Government 10y Secretary Bryan
W,fe taken here as constituting the final
bow 10 the agreement in its present form.
Members ~ the senate Committee on
. Foreign Relations this week Informally
notified Secretary Bryan that he could
n, hope Tor ratification OF the treaty In
the United states Senate.
The news WAS a great surprise to Mr..
Bryan and not AT all a pleasant one. II
nas been apparent that the one feature OF
lbs work as Secretary Of State which has
Interested Mr.. Bryan most has been the
MgOtidtjn VI peace treaties with var.-
VJs Governments.
The treaty with Denmark is unique and
70 the result of "A combination OF the
Bryan peace treaty with certain pm-
visions for arbitration. The effect is to
pledge the two Governments TO the arbi-
rat!on OF any dispute without any re-
s,r!ct.ors as to vital interest, national
a0nor or the interests and independence
o.. the third parties. 1t is assumed here
,ha; the Treaty was too sweeping In Its
provisions. as that Is the objection raised
1y American Senators.
The first part Of the treaty is pract!.
cally identical with the other Bryan peace
.feat.es. providing THAI any dispute oe-
.we-n the two Governments not settled
ipomatcally shall be automatically re.
.r-ed 70 an impartial commission for In
.$s:.gation and report.
The new feature OF the treaty and the
ore that gas caused its failure was the
itlon Of clauses providing that In cas-.
=. p. two Governments did not settle theiI
spu,e within one year after the COM
...ss!Ua had made Its report the matt,
