HAS A N E W TREATY DRAFTED The Provisions of the Olney-Pauncefote Convention, Which Made It Objec- tionable to the Senate, Are ‘ Said to Be Overcome. Washington, June 21.—President Mc- Kinley has determined to revive the abandoned treaty of general arbitra- tion between the' United States and Great Britain. He has already turned his attention to the subject, and under the direction of Secretary Sherman the matter has progressed to the extent that a new treaty also has been drafted to serve as the basis of nego— tiations expected to result in the sub- mission of a convention to the senate 'to replace that which was negotiated by Secretary Oiney, only to fail in the early hours of the present‘ session. , The president has been an advocate of "the settlement of international dis- putes by arbitration, and,‘ though dis- appointed in the reception accordid the original treaty, he never has abandon- ed hope of. being able to present the advantages of arbitration to the senate in such a light as would make it ac- ceptable to that body. ln‘the draft which is to be used as the basis of ne- gotiations‘there are none' of the objec- tionable points which caused the fail- ure of the Olney treaty. Just how this could bearranged without sacrificing Ithe vital principlesof arbitration can— not be— disclosed, but the parties to the work feel confident they havesucceed— ed in doing so. . It is not in contemplation that the treaty will be submitted to the senate There is felt has been given that, as far as possible, the present special session of congress would be devoted to the tariff. More- over, the personnel of the senate is the same now as it was when the arbitra- tion treaty was rejected, so that it is felt nothing will be lost by allowing some time-to intervene before the ques- tion is again brought to the attention of the senate. There is reason to believe that the attitude of the senate toward a new treaty will be fully canvassed and understood before the treaty is signed. The experience over the last treaty led. the parties to it to conclude that the document itself amounted to little without an assurance in advance that it would be likely to meet with fa- vorable consideration in the senate. To Make Sure of the Senate. For that reason there will be no dis- position to affix signatures to a new treaty until at least reasonable assur— ances are given that a two-thirds ma? jority of: the upper branch of congress stands ready to ratify the instrument. It is understood that the initiative in the present case will be taken by this government. The failure of the former treaty by the action of the senate left the subject in such condition that the British government did not feel dis- posed to renew negotiations, unless first invited by the United States. Under these circumstances the subject would have lapsed had not officials at Wash— ington who were deeply impressed with the far-reaching character of an alli- ance between the two English speaking people taken up the question where the senate left it, and set about devising means to overcome the objections of the senate. The first steps were of an informal character, and there has been an absence of the usual formalities of diplomatic negotiation, the desire being to effect results with the least possible V‘s . formality. Sir Julian Paunceforte sails on Wednesday for Great Britain. It was understood at first that the embassador would take a copy of the new treaty with him, but this will not be done. It is expected, however, that a draft will be in London at no distant date, in which case Sir Julian will be in com- munication with the foreign office to consider the terms of the instrument. It was during the embassador’s visit to London last summer that. he held ex- tended conferences with Lord Saris- bury, which resulted in bringing the two countries together on the Olney- Paunceforte treaty. The main Objections which the senate found to the former treaty were the naming of King Oscar of Norway-Swe- den as fifth arbitrator, the inclusion of questions of national policy, such as the Monroe doctrine and the construction of the Nicaragua canal; the exclusion of the senate from passing upon each specific subject of arbitration and the fixed tenure of the arbitrators. The \Voolen Schedule. Washington, June 21.—-The Republic- an senators have not as yet been able to agree upon the woolen schedule of the tariff bill, and there is some talk that the schedule may be passed over for the present. The various interests which are contending before the finance committee make it more difficult to agree upon the rates than in any other schedule yet reached. The manufac- turers are contending for lower rates on wool and the representatiVes of wool growing states for the higher rates. The Republicans are nearly equally divided and even if the schedule was taken into caucus it is not known that any agree- ment would follow. - Japan and the Hawaiian Treaty. Washington, June 21.—The Japanese minister has filed with the secretary 01 state a formal statement of the posi- tion of his government with respect tc the proposed annexation of the Hawaii- an islands by the United States. Al- though it is officially denied that Japan has protested against the annexation treaty, it is admitted that that govern- ment hasrepresented in the strongest terms its expectation that its treaty rights in Hawaii shall be fully respect- ‘ed in case of annexation. The letter oi the Japanese minister on this subject will be forwarded to the senate for its information in the consideration of th\ treaty. Fell Under a Train. North Bennington,Vt., June 21.—Johr J.

Ful- ler, the sage of Washington Heights, started out Saturday afternoon to drive. a. team of eight horses at Fleetwood park a mile in less than three minutes. ’ Two of his team went lame, howover, before the event was called on, and. he decided not to attempt lower than 3:20, but he made the mile in 3181/... To begin with, Mr. Fuller .drove the six-ini-hand, Fleetwing and Fleetwood as wheelers, with Flora and Fuller Wilkes and Dexter and Snip in front. Amid cheers he made the circuit of the irregular old course in 2:58%. Well in hand, and finely driven, they went to the quarter in 461/2 seconds and to the half in 1:33. Up the hill their pace in- creased, and they were at the three- quarter pole in 2:17. They covered the last quarter in 41% seconds, 2%, slower than the record. After an hour Sir vWalter and Pea- cock were added to the team. But in warming up the long string, Flora and Snip went lame. It was decided, then not to try better than 3:20. Again the thousand spectators cheer- ed driver and horses. Mr. Fuller jogged his fine trotters down for a “pipe open- er," he said. They came around in good shape, and were sent off at the first score. Their driver did not hurry them, but he had them mighty Well in hand, and as soon as one made a break quick— ly pulled him to his stride. The old whip "took no chances.” He rated the team so well that there was precious little difference in the fraction of the mile. The first quarter was covered in 4914 seconds, the half mile in 1:38. The third quarter 51 seconds and the plucky old whip landed his big handful, going straight and true, in 318%. ' All the horsemen declared it was a remarkable performance under the cir- cumstances.
