Syllabus

<p>Colorado Central Mining Co. v. Turck, 150 U. S. 138, affirmed and applied to this case upon the points: (1) that when the jurisdiction of a Circuit Court of the United States is invoked upon the ground that the determination of the suit depends upon some question- of a Federal nature, it must appear, at the outset, from the pleadings, that the suit- is one of that character of which the Circuit Court could properly take cognizance at the time its jurisdiction was invoked; and (2) that when the jurisdiction of a Circuit Court is invoked solely on the ground of diverse citizenship, the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals is final, although another ground for jurisdiction in the Circuit Court may be developed in the course of subsequent proceedings in the case. . .</p> <p>The mere fact that the matter in controversy in an action is a sum of money received by one of the parties as an award under a treaty with a Foreign Power, providing for the submission of claims against that Power of arbitration, does not in any way draw in question the validity or the construction of that treaty.'</p>
