CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY.
History of the Compact Between United
States and Great Britain.

history OF the Com pact between Ouiteu
States and Great Britain.
The 'Clayton-Bulwer treaty" derives
its name from the diplomatists who
negotiated ton the part of the United
States, Hon. John NJ. Clayton, Secre-
tary of State in President Taylor's adj
ministration; and on the part of Eng
land, Sir Henry Bulwer British minis
ter at Washington. The ''treaty'-to
to use proper diplomatic language il
was convention" and not treaty
was concluded in 1850. Its purpose
was to promote the building of an
isthmian canal, to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. In 1919 the United
States had made a convention with
Nicaragua for constructing such a
canal, starting at Greytown, on the At
lantic. But Greytown was occupied
by British settlers, and Great Britain
claimed a protectorate over the Mos.
quito Indians, who held the eastern
coast of Nicaragua. The United States
desired Great Britain to waive its
claims, but as the request was denied
the next best thing seemed to be the
establishment of joint protectorate
over the proposed canal. This was done
by the "Clayton-Bulwer treaty" one
condition of which was that neither
power should secure exclusive privil'
eyes in the canal, and another that
neither power should occupy or exer-
else dominion over any part of Central
America.
Since the convention was made, and

Prominent Man Shot.

Chicago, April l6.-Rufus Wright,
millionaire and treasurer of the firm of
Morgan & Wright, bicycle tire manufac-
turers, is lying at the point of death in a
room of the Leland hotel, shot through
the neck by a bullet from the revolver
of Mrs. Louisa Lottridge of Pawpaw,
Mich. The shooting occurred in the apart
ments occupied by the woman and she and
the victim declare it was accidental. When
Detective Sergeant Burns arrived at the
hotel he found Mrs Lottridge there. He
placed her under Arrest. A friend who had
spent several hours with her previous to
the shooting was also arrested. She gives
her name as Mrs. Koss. Much mystery
attaches to the shooting. Both the victim
and Mrs. Lottridge persist in saying it
was accidental

He was in quite an excited frame of

NATURE.

As fond mother. when the day is Ger,
Leads by the hand her little child to
bed.
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the
floor,
Still gazing at them through the open
door.
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
BY promises of others in their stead,
(which, though more splendid, may not
please him more
SO Nature deals with us and takes away
Our playthings, one by one, and by the
hand
Leads us to rest so gently that we go
Scarce knowing if we wished to go or
stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the
what we know.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

especially during the last few years.
the building of an isthmian canal has
become increasingly important to the
United States; but it is important also
that the canal should be under the sole
control of the United States. This could
not be while the convention was in
force 1t has been sometimes suggested,
but never formally insisted upon in
diplomatic correspondence, that Great
Britain has violated the convention by
continuing to exercise dominion over
British Honduras. So long as Great
Britain did not take this view of the
matter, awkward questions might arise
after the canal should be constructed.
The recent ayPauncefOte pact,
abrOgating the ClaytOn-Bulwer treaty,
provides for a neutral channel. This
instrument leaves the United States
free to build and control a canal. which
is not to be fortified, but to be kept al
ways open and neutral. under the rules
which govern the management of the
Suez Canal. Opponents of the measure
claim that it admits all the dangerous
features of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
without compensating advantages. and
that, as usual. England comedies what
she does not hold to obtain what she
wants, but cannot get.

Blind People.

So far as the most recent statistics
go, the known proportion of blind peo-
pie is about one in fifteen hundred
which would give total of one million
blind in the world. The largest proper
ton is found in Russia. which has in
Europe 100000 blind in a population
these are found in the northern prov
inces of Finland. and the principal
cause is ophthalmia. due to bad ventila-
ton of the huts of the peasantry and
the inadequate facilities for treatment.
There is a great deal of blindness in
Egypt, due to glowing sand.

The four-story brick building at the cor
ner of Wood street and Second avenue,
Pittsburg, Pa, occupied by Armstrong,
Mckelvey & Co., wholesale paint dealers,
collapsed without warning recently. A
score or more of people were in the build
ing and many were buried in the ruins.
The cause of the accident was the weak
ening of the partitions. 1t is now known
that nearly all of the imprisoned employees
escaped with but slight injuries. OF five
carpenters at work in the building but one
has been accounted for. One dead body
and three injured persons have been tax
EN- from the ruins The dead body was
identified as that of Oscar Biget, car
penter. The injured are Noel Casper,
