The following are the changes made in the general arbitration treaty by the sen- ate committee on foreign relations as giv- en out in the senate to date. Assent to article 1 read as follows: “The high contracting parties agree to submit to arbitration in accordance with the provisions and subject to the limita— tions of this treaty all questions in differ- ence between them which they may fail to adjust by diplomatic negotiations.” The senate committee to this added the following: “But no question which affects the for- : cign or domestic policy of either of the high . contracting parties, or the relations of either to any other state or power, by treaty or otherwise, shall be a subject for arbitration under this treaty except by spmial agreement.” Article 3 is amended by giving each gov- ernment two instead of one jurist of re- putc, and the following is stricken from the article: “In case they shall fail to agree upon an umpire within three months of the date of an application made to them in. that behalf by the high contracting parties, or either of them, the umpire shall be selected in the manner provided for in article 10.” , In article 5 the following has been stricken out: “In \ase they shall fail to agree upon an umpire within three months of the date of an application made to them in that behalf by the high contracting parties, or either of them, the umpire shall be selected in the manner provided for in article 10.” Wherever the word “person” is used, meaning the fifth member of the tribunal, “person” is stricken out and “umpire” inserted. ‘ tlier Changes. Article 7 in the original treaty reads as follows: “Objections to the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal constituted under this treaty shall not be taken except as provided in this article. If before the close of the hearing upon a claim submitted to an ar- bitral tribunal constituted under article 3 or article 5 either of the high contracting parties shall move such tribunal to decide, and thereupon it shall decide, that the de- termination of such claim necessarily in- volves the decision of a disputed question of principle of grave general importance, affecting the national rights of such party as distinguished from the private rights whereof it is merely the international rep- resentative, the jurisdiction of such arbi- tral tribunal over such claim shall cease, and the same shall be dealt with by arbi- tration under article 6.” In the House. The house immediately upon convening today went into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the diplo- matic and consular appropriation bill. Mr. Pearson (Rep, N. C.) offered an amend— ment to increase the salaries of the consuls in class 4 (the $2,500) to $2,933 each and to abolish entirely the salaries of class 7. There are 31 consulates in class 4: Buenos Ayres, Reichenburg, Brussels, Chefu, St. Thomas, Lyons, Marseilles, Anna-berg, Aix-la-Chapelle, Bremen, Stuttgart, Chem— nitz, ‘Hamburg, Mains, Plancau, Ath- ens, Birmingham, Dundee, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Sheffield, Southampton, Tunstall, Victoria, Huddersfield, Swansea, Paso del Norte, Cienfucgos, Santiago do Cuba, Smyrna, Jerusalem. The English Arbitrators. LONDOX, Feb. 3,—Baron Herschel], who was lord chancellor in the Roscbery cabi— net, and Justice Richard Henu Collins, Q. C., of the high court of justice, have been selected as the British members of the Venezuelan arbitration commission. Sir J ulian Paunccfote, the British embas- sador at Washington, and the Venezuelan plenipotentiary there are expected to sign the arbitration treaty tomorrow. As Britishers View the Treaty. LONDON, Feb. 3.—-The Westminister Ga— zette, touching upon the delay in the pas- sagevof the arbitration treaty through the ‘United States senate, says today: “The jingoes and silverites of both parties will not have even a symbolic act of peace with Great Britain. If there is any doubt of its passing, we frankly hope the treaty will be withdrawn. Great and striking as would have been its ratification as a con- tribution to- the cause of peace, its proposed rejection would certainly be a correspond- ingly serious setback. ” The St. James Gazette, commenting upon the probability of President Cleve- landdropping the treaty, says: “Should, however, President Cleveland or his suc- cessor ask us to accept an amended treaty, ' it would be just as wellto do so, and thereby again show how much we wish to keep on friendly terms with the United States. In the meanwhile, what a lesson the whole story gives as to the value Of the great principle of arbitration between two states more closely related in language and blood than any others in the world. They are without ' a real cause for quarrel, yet they cannot even agree to arbitrate with- . out elaborate provisions which exclude ev— erything of the least genuine importance. ” The Globe says: “Here in England we are loath to rid ourselves of Old time delu- _ sions, and that is undoubtedly why we still cling to the idea that the people of the United States are our American cousins. This tradition, of course, was fostered by the fact that they speak English more or less, and that those seen most here—Lin- coln, Phelps and Bayard—are to all intents and purposes Englishmen. ' Considering how tender we always are with the United . States, and how anxious we are to spare , their feelings in every way,“ we periodically wonder why they in return .are so discour- .‘ teens and malevolent to usl, The fact, of course, is that the people Of the United. States are a very mixed. race, and are no more related to us as a. whole than to Ger- many.” . K The French Idea. ,, PARIS, Feb. 3. —— Le Gaulois attributes the holding up in the senate of the treaty of arbitration arranged between Great Britain and the United States to Secretary Olney’s unpepularity with the senate and to the desire of the Republicans not 'tO al- low President Cleveland the honor of sign- ing such an important document.
