CANADIAN TREATY
There is Still Hope That NeqOffs-
 lions Will Not Fail.

London, May 31.-The first impress
 sion the reported new h-tch ia the
 Anglo-American negotiations mikes
 in interested and informed urcles is
 that Lord Salisbury Is pursuing his
 usual course in such intricate and con-
 tendous undertakings In the recent
 Anglo-Russian negotiations. rejected proposals and seeming failure were
 followed by counter proposals and
 agreement Tn the Anglo-French ne goti3tlons last year and this. Lord Salisbury balanced the, Niger aga nst
 the Nile, as he is represented now to
 be balancing the new Nicaragua treaty against American concessions to Can ada, and finally reached an under standing. The Niger negotiations last year were several times in more peri lous straits than the Ang,o-American but Lord Salisbury's patient ingenuity ultimately found a way out.
 These precedents strengthen the first impression that a solution of the Anglo-American disputes is not so hopeless, that the next move rests with Washington, and that the pres ence and infUcraoe here of the British ambassador to the United States, Sir Julian Pauncefote, especially after the peace conference, is still a promising factor. Nothing is ascertainable about the Canadian demands, to which Lord Salisbury, it is alleged, injus1iciousIy yields. But there is a disposition in some quarters to retort that the Amer ican adm :nistration is influenced by fear of the senate and the approaching presidential campaign. Lord Sails bury is no more able to disregard the desires Of the Canadian government in the pending negotiations than he could the wishes of the Egyptian gov ernment in the Anglo-French contro- versy.
 Public opin:cn has been thus far largely indifferent to the vicissitudes Of the Washington negotiations; but i1 the present imperialistic mood an Outcry would arise in many sensitive quarters over a neglect of Canadian in terests. even to strengthen the good understanding with America. To reconcile these interests with that un- has been Lord Salis5ury's fundamental aim throughout. Six months ago it was known here that he new Ntcaraguan treaty was likely 10 be used, CD the giVe-and-talke principle to gain concessions for Canada

WEST WELL REPRESENTED
Governor nuTphY Presents Inc SU- preme Needs of Arizona-The Congress Will Probably ReCom- mend Statehood and CeSSiOn of Arid Lands If Is no Anii-Expan- SioniSf Convention.

Wichita, Kan. May 31.--The trans Mississippi congress opeiled here this morning with a prospect of usefulness Delegates from nearly all states to which invitations were extended were present Each one has some matter of interest to his locality upon which he desires favorable action by the congress. Within the last few days 800 telegrams had been received asking for rooms at the hotels All the hotels are over flowing tonight and hundreds of del- egates and visitors are quartered in private houses.
 The congress was called to order by ex-Goyernor Prince of New Mexico, q telegram having been received at the last moment from President Hugh Craig of San Francisco that he would be unable to attend.
 The meeting was opened by address es of welcome by Governor Stanley of Kansas and Mayor Ross of Wichita. Response was made by Judge Smallay of Minnesota and Congressman-elect Julius Kahn of San Francisco. MT Kahn's address, a panegyric upon the great west, set in motion a great wave of enthusiasm.
 The chief address of tie day was that of Governor N. O. Murphy of Arizona in advocacy of statehood for his territory and the cession of the arid lands. Said he: Arizona is almost solidly for statehood and for the ces- sion of the arid lands. We have al ready drained our rivers in rec.ama- tion of the lands we have. We have reached the limit of our resources and must depend for further development upon outside aid. Further develop ment depends upcn water storage, in which we cannot expect national as- sistance. With the arid lands now worthless and incapable under pres ent conditions of reclamation we could offer an inducement tt private capital to accomplish what we cannot do our selves and what must ultimately be accomplished by private capital" Governor Murphy's views provoked no dissent and it is believed that a ec- ommendation will be made to the 7la- tional congress urging statehood for all the territories and the cession Of all the arid land to the states and jsr- ritories in which they lie
 The matter of indorsinS the coU -se Of the administration in the Philip pines is discussed by the delegates in hotel lc5bies tonight. Resolutions of approval may or may not be offered, but if they should be presented they would be overwhelmingly adopted. No other question likely to become in volved in the next national campaign vii; be brought before the congress.

BROWNS NEXT PRESIDENT.
Perhaps the Rev. Dr. Faunce-The
 Corporation Committees Action.

Providence, May 3O.-Brown UrG- versity is at last to have a president. The corporation committee or six, in- cluding Colgate Hoyt of New York, announces that it has found 9 success sor to Dr. Andrews, and a special meeting of the board of trustees and fellows has been called for June 8 to elect the committees nominee. The regular meeting of the corporation comes On June P, but the new execu- tive is to be elected early so that he can be presented to the alumni at com mencement
 Who the man is, the committee re- fuse to say. There is a pretty general belief in the faculty that, if a minister, he is the Rev. w H. P. Faunce, D. D., 80, pastor of the Fifth avenue Bap- tist church, of which John D. ROcke- fe1ler is a member Dr. Faunca was spoken of prominently when the f1- nancial phase of the presidency was prominent when Dr. Andrews first re- signed in 1S96 IF the new president Is 1ayman, which is hardly likely, as the Baptist members of the commit tee are known to oppose such an in- novation, he $ undoubtedly either Judge F. A. Gaskill, '66. of Worcester. or William " Keuen, Ph D., '72, the Boston lawyer. There is pretty strong feeling among the alumni in favor of the business man type of president

INSURGENTS GETTING EVEN.

Manila, May 31.-DetallS of the capture by the Filipincs of two officers of the United States hospital ship Re lief yesterday, have just been obtained. The relief lies in the harbor in front of the city. Third Officer Fred Heppy and Assis tant Engineer Charles Blan- foord rigged sail on one of the ship $ boats and went sailing along the shore on the south, opposite the fnsurgeat lines. The boat became becalmsd near the shore and some native canoes captured the two men, who were uu- armed, and also took possession of the beat. The Monadnock sent quickly a boat with a landing party ashore un- der the cover of her guns and shelled the shore The natives, however, rushed the prisoners into the woods before the Monadnock's boat reached land. Persons cn board several othnr ships saw the affair through glasses, but were unable to prevent the capture of Heppy and Blanford.
 Friendly natives arriving from the country around San Isidro and San Miguel report that reign of terror has prevailed since the American troops were withdrawn rfcm those parts of the islands.

Plenty of sym pathizers with the insurrection re- mained during the Americans stay and they have been reporting these in stances Of friendliness toward )ur troops. The refugees and inhabitants were badly oppressed by the native troops before the American occupation, but the condition is worse now.
