D P AL ACI, 923 Pa. Ave. N.W. THE ARBITRATION TREATY Sent to the Senate With'a Message by the President. Text of the Documént Showing the Prov! fm Every Spe- cifie Article. The President yesterday afternoon trans- Miutted te the Senate “a treaty for the ar- Ditration of all matters in difference be- tween the United States and Great Brit- ain,” and said in regard to it: “The provisions of the treaty are the re- eult of long and patient deliberstion, and represent concessions made by each party, for the sake of agreement upon the gen- eral scheme. ‘Though the result reached may not meet the views of the advocates of immediate, unlimited and irrevocable arbitration of all international controversies, it is, neverthe- less, confidently believed that the treaty cannot fail to be everywhere recognized as making a long step in the right direction, and as embodying a practical working plan by whicl disputes between the two coun- tries wii reach a peaceful adjustinent as matter of course and in ordinary routine. “In the initiation of such an important Movement it must be expected that some ef tts features will assume a tentat!ve looking to a further advanc y ‘1s apparent that the treaty which has been formulated not only makes War between the parties to it a remote pos- sibility, but precludes those fears and ru- mors of war, which, of themselves, too often assume the proportions of 2 national disaster. “It is eminently fitting, as well as fortu- ! nate, that the attempt to accomplish re- | sults so beneficent should be initiated by kindred peoples, speaking the same tongue and joined together by ali the ties of com- mon traditions, common institutions andi common aspirations. The experiment of substituting civilized methods for brute force as the means of settling international questions of right will thus be tried under the happiest auspices. Its success ought not to be doubtful, and the: fact that its ultimate ensuing benefits are not Hkely to be limited to the two countries immediately concerned should cause it to be promoted all the more eagerly. The example set and the lesson furnished by the successful op- eration of this treaty are sure to be felt and taken to heart sooner or later by other uations, and will thus mark the beginning of a new epoch in civilization. “Profoundly impressed as I am, there- fore, by the promise of transcendent good which this treaty affords, I do not hesitate to accompany its transmission with an ex- Pression of my earnest hope that it may commend itself to the favorable considera- of the Senate.” Text of the Treaty. The arbitration treaty comprises sixteen articles, as follows: Article I. The high contracting parties agree to sub- mit to arbitration in accordance with the provistons and subject to the limitations of this treaty all questions in difference be- tween them which they may fail to adjust by diplomatic negotiation. Article H. All pecuniary claims or groups of. pecu- riary claims which do not in the aggregate exceed £100,000 in amount, ‘and which do not involve the determination of territorial claims, shall be dealt with and decided by an arbitral tribunal constituted as provided in the next following article. In this article and in Article IV the words “groups of pecuniary claims" mean pecu- niary claims by one or more persons arising out of the same transactions or involving the same issues of law and of fact.

Unquestionably the high-water mark in the successful career of the well and fa- vorably known Carroll Institute Minstrels was attained last evening at a novel enter- tainment held in the Lafayette Theater for the benefit of the new Catholic church at Mount Pleasant. It was truthfully a crowded house, and the affair may be classed as an eminent social success, the boxes being occupied by persons of note in the gay world. The novelty of the enter- tainment rested principally in its first part, which was certainly original, showing a session of an intercollegiate congress of glee and comedy clubs, the idea of and ar- ranged by the versatile vocalist and come- ian, George O'Connor. The curtain arose to display the customary circle, but each performer was clad in the typical col- lege cap and gown, while the end men wore costumes of the colers of Princeton, Har- vard, Yale and Pennsylvania. The orches- tra appeared as gentlemen of the court. The opening number, a medley of college airs, was enthusiastically received, the cli- max, a tribute to Georgetown University, being greeted with the college yell from the gallery. Will Cullison appeared in a new role, that of interlocutor, while the ends were ably looked after by George O'Conner, Percy Leach, Harry Leigh and Charles Green. Harry Leigh’s song, ‘‘Ole Mommer,” made the hit of the intercolle- giate session, while George O'Connor, Per- cy Leach and Charles Green were not far to the rear.

According to the testimony of several witnesses in the Police Court today, G. Washington Van Buren was evidently looking for trouble last evening. G. Wash- ington is a colored individual, and further than that, he resides in Louse alley. G. Washington 1s also the possessor of an ex- ceptionally -hospitable nature, and his so- cial functions heretofore have been the feature of the life of the upper ten of the alley. G. Washington last evening was the host at a parlor social conducted on an unusu- ally elaborate scale of magnificence and grandeur. He was scrutinizingly careful in distributing his invitations. Consequently, only the elite of Louse and Goat alleys were permitted last evening to cross the threshold of the Van Buren homestead, and for several hours G. Washington cir- culated among his guests a proud man, in- deed. All went well until the time arrived for serving the pigs’ feet." Bad to say, those Present suddenly were conquered by most ravenous appetites. A wild rush for the supper room followed, that discounted any- thing in the way of a foot ball scrimmage that has occurred in recent years, and within the Van Buren walls trouble and turmoil replaced peace and harmony. Now, if there is anything that grates upon the refined sensibilities of G. Wash- ington Van Buren it ts a certain violation of the rules of etiquette hoggishness. » G. Washington became him thought is action, so he determined to as- sert his authority, and in no unmistakable manner. Hastening to the yard in rear of his residence, G. Washington laid hands— violent hands—on an ordinary laborer's pick, the instrument with which he earns the wherewithal to supply pigs’ feet for his guests. Returning to the interior, G. Washington, without needless ceremony, began wielding his pick with the heads of his guests as targets. At this point a curtain may prop- erly be drawn over the proceedings until the appearance in court today of G. Wash- ington as defendant. “What have you got to say about this case, Mr. Mullowney?” asked his honor, after hearing what several witnesses had to say. “I don’t see how you can hold this de- fendant,” replied the prosecuting attorney, with a merry twinkle in his blue eyes, “a man certainly possesses the right to ‘pick’ his own company.” His honor gasped for breath. He glared at the prosecuting attorney with a stony, unforgiving glare, and a moment later fined G. Washington $20. —s ‘The big leaf tobacco factory of the Am ican Tobacco Company at Danville Va., with all its contents, was burned Saturday. eseveccseeeass esessceeeroes Wilson’s Shoes At Half Wilson’s Prices!
