“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

The Treaty.

No ADVANCE has been made in the settlement of the question arising out of the Treaty of Washington. The supplemental article submitted by the English Government, was slightly modified by the Senate, and its adoption advised by the vote of 43 to 8.
It is now understood that the English Government refuses to accept the modifications unless they shall be accompanied with additional guarantees making them more acceptable. It seems highly improbable that our Government will make farther concessions, and not improbable that the whole negotiation will fail. Many Senators who voted to adopt the supplemental article are now said to be averse to taking any farther action in the matter, and disposed to leave it to the English to repudiate the Treaty and refuse to submit to the arbitration, if they so decide.
