The United States of America and Her Britannic Majesty, being desirous to pro¬ vide ibr an amicable settlement of all cau¬ ses of diCerence between the two countries, have ibr that purpose appointed their res¬ pective Plenipotentiaries, that is to say : the President of tho United States has appointed, on the part of the LTnited States, as Commissioners in a Joint High Com¬ mission and Plenipotentiaries, Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State; Robert Cuniming Schenck, Envoy Extraordinary and Min¬ ister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain ; Samuel Nelson, an Associate Justice of the Supremo Court of the United States ; Eb- enuzor Rockwood Hoar, of Massachusetts; and Geoige Henry Williams, of Oregon; and Her Britannic Majesty, on her part, has appointed as her High Commissioners and Plenipotentiaries, the Right Honour¬ able Gjor;;e Frederick Samuel, Earl de Grey .ind Earl nf Kipon, Viscount Goder¬ ieh.

And the said Plenipotentiaries, .alter having exchanged their full powers, whicii were fmnd to be in due and proper form, have agreed to and concluded the following articles :
Article I.
Whereas differences have arisen between the Governnient of the United States aud the Government of Her Britannic Majes¬ ty, and still exist, growing out of the acls committed by the several vessels which have given rise to the claims generally knowu as the ••Alabama claims:"
And whereas Her Britannic Majesty has authorized her High Commissioners aud Plenipotentiaries to express, in a friendly spirit, the regret felt by Her Ma¬ jesty's Government for the escape, undor whatever circumstances, of the Alabama and other vessels from British ports, and for the depredations committed by those vessels :
Now, in order to remove and adjust all complaints and claims on the part of the United States, and to provide I'or the spee¬ dy settlement of such claims, which are not admitted by Her Britannic Majesty's Government, the High Contracting Par¬ ties agree that all the said claim-, growing out of acts committed by the aforesaid vessels and generally known as the ''Ala¬ bama claims," shall lie referred to a Tribu¬ nal of Arbitration to be composed of five Arbitrators, to be appointed in the follow¬ ing manner, that is to say: One shall be named by the President of the United States; one shall be ntinied by Her Bri¬ tannic Majesty; His Majesty the King of Italy shall be requested to name one; the Prosident ofthe Swiss Confederation shall be requested to name ono; and His Majes¬ ty the Emperor of Biazil shall be request¬ ed to name one.
In case oftlie death, ab.sence, or incapa¬ city to serve of any or either of the said Arbitrators, or, in the event of either of the said Arbitrators omitting or declining or ceasing to act as such, the President of the United Suites, or Her Britannic Ala- je.sty, or His Majesty the King of Italy, or tlio President of the Swiss Confedera¬ tion, or His Majesty the Emperor of Bra¬ zil, as the case may be, may forthwith name another person to act as Arbitrator in the place and stead of the Arbitrator originally named by such Head ofa State.
And in the event of the refusal or omis¬ sion for two months after receipt of the request from either of the High Contract¬ ing Parties of His Majesty fhe King of Italy, or the President of the Swiss Con¬ federation, or His Majesty tho Emperor of Brazil, to name an Arbitrator either to fill the original appointment or iu the plaee of one who may have died, be absent, or incapacitated, or who may omit, decline, or from any cause cease to act as such Ar¬ bitrator, Uis Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway shall be requested to name one or more persons, as the case may be, to act as such Arbitrator or Arbitrators.

The -Arbitrators shall meet at Geneva, iu Switzerland, at the earliest convenient day after they shall have been named, and shall proceed impartially and carefully to examine and decide all questions that shall be laid beforo them on the part of the Governments of the L'nited States and Her Britannic Majesty respectively. All questions considered by the Tribunal, in¬ cluding thc final award, shall be decided by a majority of all the Arbitrators.
