the Continental powers are satisfactory,
amendments a. II sns still has hostilftiss
on her hands for then our
good win will not be Of 20 much value
TO her and the need Of keeping it not
80 imperative. 1t seems TO DO perfectly
clear, however, that unless England
accepts the amendments and accepts
them very soon, (and OF the latter there
lie little expeCtation.) the building Of the
canal will be delayed year al least, for
until the fats OF the treaty is settled IL Is
not ut all likely that the President
would sign the Hepburn bill even II the
Senate should pass It. The amending
Of the treaty has almost certainly there
fore postponed the building Of the canal.
Ii may, too, have revived the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and established its validi-
ty beyond cavii on our part, for II the
British government should reject the
Senate amendments TO the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty and fall back upon the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, It would not be pos
sible for us to say that that treaty was
not binding since one of the amend
ments which the Senate adopted provided
for the abroRation Of that trsaty, sub
stantial admission OF it's validity and
binding force. Probably the majority
of thos, who voted for the amendments
did not want either TO delay the build
ing OF the canaT or add strength to the
Clayton Bulwer compact, but 1t looks
as II they had done both. Certainly
they have done the first.

The descriotion given OF the operations
of ths allied troops at lien Tsin by
MIR. q. F. Cannon, formerly of this
city, Ia In the line of previous reports
After the city was taken there
was perfect saturnalia. Mr..
Cannon says that thu princi-
pal actors were the soldiers Of the con-
tinentaI powers, notably the Russians
and the Germans. The outrases OF the
Boxers were duplicated by the allies,
only the victims were Chinese. 1t is
curious and significant fact that the
nation whose soldiers behaved the bsst
and participated the least In tbs kill
Ing and thieving was Japan, which
makes no profession of being Chris
tian nation, aud that the nation whoss
soldiers behaved the worst was Germany,
whose Emperor told his troops on their
departure that a part of their mission
was to spread civilization and religion.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE NEW ENGLAND FRENCH
CANADIANS.
New York Times.)

People who have noted the former
state and present condition of the French
Canadians in New England will more
than doubt the report that they mediate
a great trek to the northward. All over
New England there are children of
French Canadian immigrants who are
well educated and well -to-do. who have
made for themselves recognized and re-
spected positions in their respective
communities, and before whom there
are open every advantage and possibility
enjoyed by those whose Americanism is
of older standing. The tale of a pro-
iected fitting which is now in circula-
ton probably expresses not fact, but a
desire-a desire confiEed chiefly If not
wholly to the other side of the frontier.
Canada has vast sire ches of vacant land,
to which she would gladly welcome the
citizens she lost in other days. IL would
be hardly fair for her to get them now,
however, for they have been vastly
changed since they crossed the line.
