Items of Interest

The Italian Foreign Office has informed United States Ambassador Meyer that Italy is quite favorable to the conclusion of an arbitration treaty with the United States, and will empower Ambassador Mayor des Planches to sign it in Washington.

The arbitration treaty with Denmark will follow the lines of that already signed with France and other countries. A similar treaty negotiated with Switzerland awaits the signature of the high contracting parties. Mexico is prepared to negotiate an arbitration treaty with the United States.

It is announced that all the players in the Boston Symphony Orchestra have resigned from the Boston Musicians' Protective Association, and their resignations have been accepted. The orchestra has ninety-four members, and of these seventy-seven were members of the Association. The reason why the union officials have declined to discuss the matter is said to be that they did not wish to antagonize the Boston Symphony Orchestra or Major Higginson, who stands back of it.
