The defeat of the arbilration treaty by the Senate was not unforeseen. The gen- eral principle of arbitration has long been supporied by the American people, and a majority of them favor such a principle to this day. for some time that they were not in favor of a treaty which would bind them to a:bi- tration upon all questions which might arise between them and Great Britain. The defeat of the bill, therefore, does not nify opposition to that method of set- tiing international disputes, but is only proof that the people are not willing to take a leap in the dark and agree 1o arbi- trate matters which have not yet arisen. In aadition to the general objection to an agreement to arbitrate issues not yet clearly defined and whick, in fact, cannot objection 10 several featurs of the treaty as arranged by Secretary Olney. These objectionable feaiures were of such a radi- cal nature tbey could not be cared by amendment, and although the treaty was reyised and materiaily altered in many respects it was nevertheless regarded by the Senators as dangerous to some of the most iniportant interests of the country and therefore rejected. Senator Carter very clearly expressed the prevailing sentiment when he said there could be no doubs: of the parciality of the Government and the people of the United States toward the settlement of aisputes by arvitration, and that for this reason there never would be any difficuity in securing an agreement to that end in case of any spec.fic dispute. Accordingly it is not necessary for our people to tie themselves by an agreement of uncertain scope und purport, especia.ly with a coun- try which has shown itself to be completely out of sympathy with our interests and opposed to many of our National aspira- tions. Tue defeat of the treaty will not be re- garded as in any respect militating against willing to settle every controversy in sc- cordance with reason and justice. We have rejected this treaty solely because we are aware that any question which arises can be very readily submitted to a: bitration without such & treaty, whereas if we Lad adopted it, we might bs bound in cases where it would be opposed to our prestige and our dignity as a Nation to leave the adjudication of the coniroversy 10 a foreign power. It is reported that ex-Senator Cameron recently told his successor, Hoies Pentose, that he ought to marry, as it would be more in keeping with his position asa Seaator, and it is added thut Penrose promptly 1eplied witn true party loyalty: “All right; bring on the woman. I will marry anybody the State Central Com- mittee indorses.” This is the completest the whole Ottoman empire off the earth. ‘We can now sit back and await resalts, evidence we have yet had of the discipline of the Penn<yivania machine, It has been clear, however, | yet be fores en, there was also a specific | ment toward that end will begin agai oprosite effect, and may yet have conse- quences whose influence will be felt for years to come. It can hardly be said that the result has | teen a surprise to the world. The most ardent iriends of Greece did not expect her to win unless the subject peoples of the Balkan peninsula should rise to aid her in a common war against the Turk. The Greeks themselves evidently expected this assistance. The invasion of Turkish ter- ritory by the irregular troops before war was actually deciared and the advance into Epirus immediately on the outbreak of Lostilities are evidences of the fact that the Government at Athens counted on an uprising of the subject peoples of those provinces as soon as the Greek armies ap- prared and afforded a force around which the insurgents could rally. These hopes, as we have seen, were disappointed, and with the retirement of the Greek troops from the Turkish frontier the last chance of Grecian success was lost. For the present the movement toward the destruction of the Ottoman empire is checked. The Turk has ouce more shown Europe that he will fight for his domin- ions to the last, and die sword in hand with his face to the foe. This wiil d-lay the independence of the Balkan people for a while, but nevertieless the move- n. For more than a hundred years the Turk has been forced slowly backward from the line of Lis Xuropean empire when it was at its greatest extent.
