new administration will adopt regarding
that instrument az well as the commercial
treaties which are now pending. When
Baysrd led the opposition against the MIC
srseuan treaty and mustered with but few
exceptions all the members of his party
against it, much doubt was expressed as 70
whether be spoke for the Administrator
or not. The fact that since that time
Bayard's appointment as Secretary o.
State seems assured leads to the conclusion
that in the first instance he was speaking
for q postponement OF q considerah O
the tresty until the new Administration
should come into power. In doing this he
might very properly have expressed the
wishes Of the President-elect. Bsyard,
however, also expressed the opinion that
the Clayton-B uiwer treaty ia in force and
binding upon this Government. 1t Is
difficult TO understand, therefore, il
Baysrd becomes Secretary of State,
how he can favor the ratification OF
any treaty that proposes to authorize the
construction of q canal by this Govern
ment without first ~abrogating the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. Republican Senators be-
lieve the Nlcaraguan treaty will be re-
called after the 4th Of March, and nego-
tiations will entered into by thenew Admin
istration for the modification of the treaty,
and at the same time correspondence will
be begun with Great Britain for a formal
abrogation of the Clsyton-Bulwer treaty.
