DETERMINED OPPOSITION.
Objections of Those who Criticise tn,
British Treaty.

Objections of Those who Criticise the
British Treaty.
1t is manifest that there is going to be
determined, opposition to the canal treaty
between this government and Great Britain
Several objections to the treaty are ad-
vanced by senators, but that which is apt
to prove effective is based on the broad
grounds that the treaty is so worded as
to- give recognition to the principle that
the consent Of Great Britain is essential to
negotiations between the United States and
Nicaragua
1t is spoken Of as inconsistent with the
Independent sovereignty of Nicaragua and
the republics to the south Of us to recog-
nize the right of Great Britain to give or
W1thhold consent to a new treaty between
any of them and the United States with
reference to the canal right Of way.
Some contend that the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty is already abrogated by the action Of
Great Britain herself, and this treaty is
practically a revival of it; but it is further
eoEtended that ii that treaty is still in
force the proper way to dispose of 1t is by
ebi ogation, and that to secure permission
fIcm Great Britain by special treaty to
make specific treaty with Nicaragua,
surrounded by limitations and conditions is
to recognize an authority of Great Britain
ever the Independent government Of this
continent which Gees not exist.
The objection to the neutrality Of the
cdnai ls connned to=but lew, most OF those
conversant with the subject believing that
the interests of this government can best
be served by the CANAL being made neutral.
1t Is felt, however, that this should be de-
termined by the policy of this government,
and not in compliance with exactions of
Great Britain as a condition of her consent
1t is suggested that If Great Britain seri-
ously makes claim of any sort of quail
fed sovereignty over. Nicaragua or Costa
Rica, which maintain Independent diplo-
matte relations with the United States
through recognized ministers plenipoten-
tiary, this claim should be properly tested
before giving it implied recognition in a
treaty of consent"
An objection to the treaty in detail. waiv-
ing the question, Of broad principle, is that
all that Great BRITAIN consents to is that
we shall pay the~cost ,yof constructing and
maintaining the canal, without having any
advantase over othey nations; in, other
words, that she simply surrenders her as
sured right to join with us in bearing the
expense without sacrificing any of the
equal benefits with this government
The question of fortifcaton, it is said
will probably not figure strongly in the op-
position to the treaty.
The most common opinion now is that
there will be a prolonged discussion. and
that the treaty is likely not to be ratified.
Opposition to the treaty will not neces-
sarily delay action on the bill authorizing
the construction Of the canal.

TO SEE THE DREDGE WORK.
Great Interest Manifested by the En-
Eineers of EurOne

The engineering world of Europe is in a
state of surprise over the remarkable per-
formance of big dredge boat. constructed
in Belgium for the Russian government on
plans prepared by an American engineer.
Mr.. Bates Of Chicago Under the contract
the boat was to have a capacity of 1,6OO
cubic yards of dredging per hour. She re-
corded capacity of 800 yards on trial.
SO great was the interest in the trial that
most OF the foreign ambassadors were pres
sent. the Belgium cabinet, Commissions
from Australia, India, Germany, France,
the Argentine and hundreds Of engineers
from all parts Of Europe Trains were run
at reduced rates to accommodate the peo-
pie eager to see the American tfred4e the
most powerful In the world. and boats vera
kept running for six weeks at Antwerp to
carry visitors to the point of operation.
The immediate effect has been to cause
an order to be placed for similar dredoes
for India. Australia and Russia The facts
are reported to the State Department by.
Consul General Holloway at st. Peters

BEGINNING TO BE UNDERSTOOD.

A YEAR ago the situation in the
Territory was very little understood
by the people in the states. When
the first mutterings of discomfort
began to be heard from our people
the invariable cry of outside news
papers was that the non citizens
wanted to hasten matters so as to
rob the Indian. Now it is differ
ent. Outsiders who have studied
our institutions are beginning 10
realize that the interests of the two
races are inextricably interviewer
and that both are suffering from
the dilatory methods pursued. The
agitation carried on by our people
last year is largely responsible for
this change of sentiment in their
favor, as facts and conclusions have
been presented which are irreslstl-
BILE in forcing conviction upon the
candid mind. The agitation III
our interests just now beginning IN
the states will have wholesome
effect in shaping future legislation
relative to the Territory. Among
our strongest advocates outside of
the Territory we are pleased to
number the Denison Herald, which
is an able advocate in any cause.
Recently commenting on conditions
and necessities here, it said:
No one can look over the Indian
Territory situation, no matter in
what portion of the country they
live, but they must sympathize
with the Indians and the non-citi-
zens of the Territory. They are,
citizens and non citizens alike, sub
ject to laws, in the making of which
they have no voice or power. The
non citizen is taxed without any
representation whatever, and prop
erty rights are subject to the whlm
and decision of one man, and that
man the secretary of the interior
who knows less about the Indian
Territory and conditions there thar
he does of conditions in the Phil
ippines. 1t is time for the Terri
tory and her neighboring states t.
demand that the Territory be givel
some form of elf-government, an(
that speedily. AS it is, the countr.
is being ridden TO death, crushed
and damned by a most despoti'
government of aliens. who have NJ
interest in the country excepting
the amount of money they can tax
out of it in the way of fat salarie
and fees.
