cLAYT0H.BuLWER TREATY
10 Be modified 10 Soften Feeling Over ths
Nicaragua Canal.

Washington. Dec. 23.--It Is accepted
as little short OF certain in the best in
formed official and diplomatic circles
that negotiations will soon be opened
towards so modifying the Clayton-B ul-
wer treaty as to meet the conditions
of the present day concerning Ameri-
can construction and control Of the
Nicaragua canal. But the British am
bassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote. mas
not thus far received any instructions
to open negotiations on this subject nor
is there any intimmtlon that fnstruc-
tions are about to be received.
The United States charge d'affaires
at London, Mr.. Henry NJ. White, Is al
present the guest of Lord Salisbury
and unofficial cable reports have indi-
Gated that, the visit might have some
connection with the abrogation Of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. In diplomatic
quarters here this construction Is MOI
placed upon the visit, which is said e
be quite in line with the usual socia.
features of the holidays.
The Presidents recent message II.
referring To American construction q.
the canal was nlisinterpreted by ths
English press 10 mean that the United
States intended to disregard the. clay
tom Bulwer treaty and go ahead WITT.
the canal without reference TO Eng
land
This view was promptly disayowee
by officials here. Since then there mas
been about time for the official ma
to reach London and this doubtless
permits fuller clearing up OF the err
roneous impression that the Engiisf
press and public and possibly the OIL
flclais took OF the Presidents reference
10 the canal. / Is felt that this bet
ter understanding may naturally leac
up to instructions from the foreign or
flee TO take up the whole subject.

GREAT BRITAIN WILLING
TO Abrogate Clayton Bulwer treaty. Provided
Canal is Kept Neutral.

London. Dec. 2S.--There seems to be
little, doubt that Great Britain will agree
to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
The temper of the cabinet and public
opinion, which largely influences the gov
ernmerts policy, points to such action,
though no definite understanding with
the United States has vet been rea ched.
GXeat Britain desires that the Nicaragua
cshal be constructed, and is willing that
the United States should control 1t if the
United States guarantees It's neutrality
and safeguards British interests.

THE PRINTERS FIGHT
Question of Payment for Registers
Still Before Judge York

A demurrer to the complaint of r. Y. Nc
Bride against t. E. Newlin, county clerk;
the board of supervisors and Pridham &
Faulkner, the contractors for the printing of
the supplemental register, was interposed by
Deputy District Attorney Holton and Flint
G. Barker yesterday. The grounds of the
demurrer were that plaintiff has not the legal
capacity to demand the relief prayed for In
his complaint and petition; that there is a
defect of parties defendant in the complaint
as filed, in that the county of Los Angeles
is not made a party defendant; that the
complaint and petition does not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause of action, or
to entitle the plaintiff to the relief prayed
for, or to authorize the court to issue its
writ of injunction as prayed for; and that
the complaint and petition is ambiguous in
this: That it does not set forth the contract
upon which payment is sought to be en-
Joined with sufficient certainty and particu
larity to enable the court to judge and de-
termine whether or not the writ prayed for
ought to be granted. For those reasons de-
PENDANTS ask judgment of dismissal and for
costs.
Judge York ordered that the demurrer be
submitted on briefs, the opening brief to be
in Wednesday of this week, the reply Friday
and the closing brief on Saturday. The
ruling upon the demurrer will probaly be
made some time next week, and it is ex-
pected that the court will then enter into the
of the merits of the case so
fully that no further hearing will be had. un-
less an appeal should be taken to the SUI
preme court. The onyl question which re-
mains for decision is whether the county Of
ficials shall be enjoined from paying for the
register, the work upon which
was not completed within the limitations of
time provided for by the contract in accord
ance with the provisions of the law. The
registers have been delivered, and will be
used at the election today. Whether the
contractors shall go unpaid for their work
or not is the issue in controversy
