PAUNCEFORTE TO REMAIN.
Statement by Lord Salisbury I'm House
ofLorda.

London, March s.-In the House Of
Lords today, Lord Newton asked wheth-
or. In view OF the valuable services Of
Lord Paunee!ore at Washington, the al
INABILITY OF proloaglng hIs tenure Of
Office would not te considered, adding !:
"Ths task OF maintaining our relations
ON their present happy footing. Ia not
likely to Prove less difficult n the imme-
diate future. In addition TO the ques-
tions of great delioaoy now pending. we
have to look forward 10 the Presidential
election, which is productive Of political
soeentrioities unknown in less enterpris-
ing countries"
The sIelksr also said he thought the
present moment was not q happy one for
. change.
In reply. Lord Salisbury said Lord
Newton b sd done what the Frsnoh called
"breaking In an open door" for the
occurred some days ago. The Premier
addsdi
81 entirely agree With any sulogy
passed ON Lord Psunoefote, and have
shown this In the course taken In extend
ing his tenure of offios. The only obssr-
walton which have to make is that the
question implies that this extension Is
q reward for valuable services. think
1t is rather the other way. It IL to Lord
Pauncefote that we have TO express our
thanks that he has been kind enough to
undertake the work for another period.
We have every cause to express to Lord
Pauncefote our gratitude that, at q oriti-
cal time and when his remarkable sx-
perisnce and singular aptitude for the
peculiar duties Of his Office renders IL
desirable that he should continue In IL.
that he has consented to do co."

throDged with people and the greatest en-
thusiAsm prevailed everywhere.
A quaint ceremony occurred when the
Quesn's carriage stopped at the temple
steps. When the Lord Mayor. Mr.. A. J.
Newton, solsmDly handed Her Majesty
the sword Of state. with q smile, tbs
Queen touched It ana returned the sword
to the chief executive ssylng: "Thank
you for all that my city has DONE"
To which the mayor replisdi "Your
gracious Maiesty's words will forever be
treasured In my heart"
Then the life guards trottsd on. the
purple and ermine. and gorgeous uni
forms, the marshal and sheriffs and al
dsrmen. with the gold laced hunkeys,
and numbering state coaches left behind,
aud the somber dressed Queen drove
quickly along the embankment, which
was black with cheering people. Accom-
panying Her Majesty were the Princess
Christian Of Sohleswig Hoistein and Prin-
cess Henry OF BattenberG.
The life guards trottsd on through the
great thoroughfares OF the city which
were everywhere thronged. So quickly
were the horses driven that the crowds
scarcely had chance to cheer before the
constantly bowling monarch had passed
out of sight.
BY five o'clock the Queen. going BY
way of Holborn and Oxford street, had
returned to buckingham palace.
1t was a repetition OF the jubilee drive,
with the exception that 1t was 90 hastily
planned that no organized attempts at
decoration could be carried out. But con-
sidering the short space Of time. 1t was
astonishing TO see the mum Der OF fsgs
which appeared along the route followed
by Her Majesty. Many American hags
were displayed by American concerns end
by Americans on the streets.
The crowd outside Buckingham palace
| had increased shortly before midnight 10
500. coo people all singing patriotic songs.
Finally the Prince of Wales and Duke OF
York came upon the balcony an d vocifer-
Gus cheering followed. A few minutes
later the Queen, herself, accompanied by
several ladies made her appearance. This
was the signal for the national anthem
and for never to be forgotten cheering.
Then the blinds of the place were drawn,
but thousands remained to sing and
| cheer.

evening with a procession Of youths
marching through the west end thorough

finally proceeded 10 the palace, which
hathed In a flood Of multi-uolored lights
and surrounded by thousands Of waving
Gags, presented an impressive spectacle.

THE CANAL TREATY.
Suggestion to Amend ItNot Viewed
Favorably.

Washington, March a-The proposition
to amend the pending Paunoefote treaty
by the inclusion OF certain articles OF the
Suez convention which guaranteed the
Egyptian government the right to take
any measures deemed necessary In case
Of war. to defend Egyptian rights, has
not been submitted by any Responsible
person to the Judgment Of the admins
traitor officials. Moreover, 1t Ia said by
those competent to express opinion that
II 1t were submitted 1t would be disap-
proved. The particular articles were
omitted from the Hay -Pauuosfote treaty
not by accident, but by design according
to the statement Of authorized persons.
In other words. as an administration
official put 1t. to parallel that condition
Of affairs would BIS to suppose the Unit
ed STATES now to make a treaty with
Nicaragua and Costa Rioa relative to q
canal containing clause granting those
nations power to take such measures as
they deem necessary In time of var. I'm
plying of course the right to close the
canal against foe. Suoh aclause might
be politio and statesmanliks, It 10 said.
in the event that the Uaised States gov
eminent cherished q purpose Co sometime
In the near future annex Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, otherwise the coded authority
might work dissstroutly against us. In
answer to a suggestion that the proposed
Amendments was to apply, not to Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, but only to the
United States and Great Britain, the
official already quotsd declared that even
II England should assent to such an
amendment and there was little doubt
on that point, II the United States really
desired 1t the adoption Of the amen dment
would certainly defeat the purpose Of
the treaty.

and stooi for hours waiting patiently who
have often sssu the Queen and who, In
ordinary circumstances, would scarcely
bulge TO wAtoh her pass. Among these
were many personal friends Of thq sover :
eigB, for instance, the Countess OF
Brownlow, q great friend OF Victoria and
= favorits at court, who sat on the curb,
shiVeTinR, for hours with the crowd out
side Buckingham palsoe.
In shcrt IL was not so much desire TO
see the monarch as 10 was an ovsrwhelm-
ina neei of an outlet for juoilAtion over
the war and q natural inclination to let
the Queen see and share the gladness OF
her people that prompted London spon-
taueously to make the day one Of tbemost
memorable celebrations OF Victoria's
rslga.
II was quits different from the mad
Iejoicinss that marked the relief Of Lady
smith. Rswdyism was oOnspicuously alb
sent, although the oowos reached such
proportions that the number Of police
would have been quite inadequate had
the people bsep obstreperous.
Moreover. intremingled with chs rejoio-
inSs Of patriotism. there was partiou-
larly keen APPRECIATION Of the Queen's re-
personality, her womanhness, great age
and cioseness to the poorest of her sub
je,ts.
This little touch Of reverence for sex
rather than for sovereignty rendered the
hugs crowds perfectly trnctatls In the
hands of the good natursd police. and II
was not hard task to induce them to
surge back and to make way for the
Royal carriage. When the Queen OF
Great BritaIn and Ireland and the en-
press Of India did pass nodding ss II to
many friends instead Of bowling with
royal restraint, there sohotd under the
Iosr OF cheers many heartfelt expressions
such as ''God Bless Her." "God Keep
Hon." "My, bnt she's brave woman"
and scores more like them. -
1t was small wonder that now and
again tears Of joy rolled down the cheeks
of the aged sovereign.

JEALOUSY CAUSED DOUBLE
TRAGEDY.

New York, March s.-A double tragedy
the primary cause of which seems to have
been insane jealousy occurred tonight In
Brooklyn, when George Orr, printer,
twenty-five years old, was shot and killed
by Jusbo Deayala. q Cuban carpenter
DeayAla's wife on being threatened by
her husband on Wednesday, went to the
home Ct her sister. Mrs. Orr. Today she
secured summons for her husbands ap-
psArance at court to answer to the charge
Of threatening her. Deayala received the
summons, and tonight went to Orr's
home to see his wife,. While talking with
her Orr made his appearance. whereupon
Deayala drew revolver and shot him
four times, killing him instantly. He
then took another revolver from his
pocket and shot himself.

Very Well.

London, March s.-The semi-offiolal
duties undertaken by the Queen during
the day would have tried the resources OF
many q woman far under eighty lone
years of age. Starting early from Wind
sor by train she reached the metropolis
shortly after noon. Until she reached
Buckingham palace, there was never q
moment Of quiet. Cheers spread along
her route like prairie fire. Previous to
her arrival, Lord Roberts, General Butler
Hnd other heroes CT the war had
mono2olizsd the lung power OF the wait

seen in London even on jubilee day.
Whenever q soldier or sailor appeared
he was almost mObbed, SO anxious was
the populace to show Its patriotism. The
stNid equipAges Of mobiles that were
never before guilty OF displaying any
thing mora startling than q crest, were
gay with oolored stTeamers. Every house
along the route to the palace made some
effort at decoration. When the hoarss

Then in the presence Of the Legislators

she whispered words Of thanks.

A RomRncgng Reporter Who Was
Finally Found Out.


"The most incorrigible fakir that ever
spilled ink on daily paper is at present
q director in big trust in the northeast"
said an old reporter last evening. The
way he got out OF the newspaper business
was rather peculiar, and as the story is
now pretty generally forgotten it may be
worth telling.
HE had persuaded one OF the big
northern dailies TO send him on a trip to
Hawaii to write up the sugar industry,
but after he arrived at Frisco he con-
cluded ii would be foolish to make long
ocean voyage when there we're so many
good cyclopedns at hand and proceeded
to grind OUT his letters from a room In the

tIacted a good deal OF attention, and his
descriptions OF island life were generally

he arranged about getting his remittances

how and kept the thing going for several
months.

at last really took the train for the east.

a lurd story OF train robbery on the

however, was very sore and took the
trouble to send bunch of afidavits to
