THE CLAYTON.BUL WEIR TREATY
JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE RETAINED AT
WASHINGTON BY ENGLAND.
VIII Endeayor To secure for Great
Britain Concessions in the Mica
raguu Canal If 1t BE Built.

New York, January IA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says
Sill Julian Pauncefotc, the British am
bassador, will remain accredited to the
United States for another wear beginning
In April. This unusual action on the part
OF the British government arises from the
deer. interest in the negotiations OF the
CLAYTON BuIwer treaty and new treaty
guaranteeing the neutrality of the pro-
poscd Nicaragua canal which Sir Julian
has shown Sir Julian would naturally
have been changed las. spring. hut the
British government, as d mark OF friend
ship and because oil tue critical condition
OF the relations between the United states
and Spain, determined to retain him for
another year.
The negotiations with reference 10 the
Nicaragua canal are now In such shape
that IL would be difficult for successor
TO Sir Julian to handle them properly. In
view OF this fact Minister Salisbury has
directed that he be retained in Washing
ton. and the embassy has received official
word TO that effect. Sir Julian's retention
will be gree, ed with great satisfaction In
administration circles During his ser
vices OF ten years he has assiduousiy
cultivated friendly relations with the
Lord sackville- West. who returned 70
Great Britain IN disgrace, and by his tact
soon bridges, over the incident HIS
friendiiness for the Washington govern
ment before and during tie war was ire
ouently manifested and the authorities are
naturally pleased at the decision OF the
british government to confer upon MN
The unusual honor OF retaining him In ae,
tive service so long after the natural
time OF retirement.

THE HOUSE.
Diplomatic and Consular Appropria-
ton Bill Passed.

Diplomatic and Consular Appropria-
ton Bill Passed.
Washington, January 12.--The house to-
day passed the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill without amendment
During the debate two set speeches we're
made against Imperialism by Messrs. Car
mack and Gaines OF Tennessee
The house today promptly went into
committee Of the whole on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. 1t was
arranged that there should be two hours
and half on side to general debate.
Mr.. Dinsmore (Dem., Ark) said mem
bers on his side wanted an opportunity to
address the house on general subjects, but
so far as he was aware they had no oppo-
sition to any Item In the bill.
Mr.. Hit (Rcp., ND. chairman of this
foreign affairs committee, made the pre-
liminary statement about the measure.
which, he said, carried s1,705. 533 being
$125,495 less than the estimates and s46,-
675 less than the current laws.
All diplomatic and consular officers ia
the Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and
Cuba were abolished by the bill, affecting
q saving in salaries of $4,000.
There was some criticism By Mr.. Handy
Dem. DELI of the conduct OF the bureau
OF American Republics under the former
director. the late Joseph p. Smith, which
drew out a warm defense Of tina. officer
from Mr.. Hit. The latter said that while
Mr. Smith may have developed certain
lines Of work of the bureau beyond the
limitations. there should be no aspersion
upon conscientious, able and faithful of
ficer. whose zeal may have led him too far.
Mr. Smith, he said. had sacrificed his life
to his devotion to duty.
Mr.. Carmack Dem, Tenn.) delivered q
carefully prepared argument in opposition
to the policy of the administration rola-
tive to the Philippines He protested
against launching this government on a
career OF conquest and criminal aggrej-
waging war upon his own responsibility
for his own purpose. While the war against
Spain had been blessed ri God, this war for
the conquest OF the Philippines was a
crime against liberty and the curse Of
God was upon It, 1t revolutionized every
tradition OF the republic II was being en-
tered upon thoughtlessly and rcckiessly
without considering the cost.
Mr.. Carmack was literally applauded
and congratulated by his colleagues when
he concluded.
Mr.. Gaines (Dem.. Tcnn.) followed with
an argument against the power OF the
United States to acquire territory except
for the purpose Of making States OF such
territory.
AL the conclusion OF Mr.. Gaines remarks
Mr. Hit announced that his side did not
desire to consume the time allotted to II
and the bill WAS reported to the house and
nassed without division or amendment.
N bill was passed authorizing the Little
River Railroad company to construct q
railroad through the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indian reservations.
