It agreed to leav all point upon which nnder standing Is not reached to th final ar bitration ol Secretaries Taft and Bacon. Th government first suggested tbat It would treat with th Liberal II they would lay down tbelr arm, bnt tbe a met lean romnilsslonar ruled tbal till stipulation wa unfair and tb Moderate ispresenlative bold this view.
