One of them previlee that the arguments and proccedup n lIQ‘flrlQl the ar'bi trstore shall be in the {English lau mgr. This amendment was suggested to Sir ulian Pauncefote a day or two ago. He said tha‘ it appeared to be proper, but that he should like to secure the formal assent of Lord Salisbury to it. This assent came in the form of a csblegram, which was this morn- ing shown to the President by the Brrtleh Minister, and was at once sent to Senator Sherman, who caused the neceeeary amendment to be incorporated in the treaty. Exactly the same procedure was followed in theoeee of the second amendment, which changes Art. ll of the treatyec as to require the arbitratore to make their decreion if poe- sible within four months instead of three from the close of the ar umente of counsel. This change was believ to be desirable in view of the ms nitude of the eubject and the enormous Vfï¬uflle of testimony to be con- sidered by the arbitrators.

In cripiurc ebt was a duty not done, and trespass wee a wron done. It was possible that both of these i one were contained in the prayer. it Would be seen that forgive- neee was conditional there.
