England and the rrentr

There seems TO be a general tendency
on the part OF the English press to post
pone discussion of the amended Hay
Pauncefote Treaty until after the hoii-
days. The London Times" is an excep-
tion to some extent, and is rather in
clined to take nigh ground with US. It
assumes to remind the United States that
Britain also is a great North American
power and always intends to remain So
Other journals are milder and say it is
much better that the convention was
amended rather than that 1t should have
been rejected outright From British
viewpoint We agree with that PROPOSE
ton, and are reasonably well satisfied
that the British Government will take the
Treaty as It stands without quarreling
for condiments.
IN every sense except that OF humbug
the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty is today pref
" much what it was when it was first
presented to the Senate. True, the Con-
unentaI European powers are left out Of
the deal, but that is about the only mat
ter which can be considered of inlpor-
lance, and does not inJurfously affect
British interests. The Clayton-B ulwer
Treaty which was as dead as Hector is
revived and re-enacted IN the Hay
Pauneefote convention. We are not open
10 conviction that Lord Salisbury would
let that advantage slip by rejecting our
amendments. Should he do so, however,
We shall not be the least bit sorry. One
thing IS certain. He viii never get as

find given person in New York without

seem to be impossible; but many persons
are engaged IN such searches, for one Tea-
son or another, all the time. When the
police fail they depend upon themselves;
and the way they go about the search is
TO frequent certain public places, which,
sooner or later. almost everybody passes.
These are the postofiee, the Grand Cen
traI station. the corner of Broadway and
some zeii-traveIed cross street Such

their patience should be rewarded Bust

places day after day for perhaps week,

but it is easy to tell that they are en-
