Seeretery Sherman and the British Ambassador Soon to Confer. It is expected that Secretary Sherman will shortly -onfer with Sir Julian Paunce- fote, the British ambassador, with regard to the exved: cy cf reopening negotiations for an Anglo-American treaty of arbitra- tion. There is said to be no disposition on cither hand to press the subject unduly, but rather to allow it to develop along natural lines and responsive to public senti- ment. Mr. Sherman made kaown to the British authorities some months ago that the President would view with favor a re- cpening of the negotiations and was hope- ful that a peace treaty ultimately would be secured. The British officials were much gratified at this suggestion, but no negotia- Uons were entered upon.
