MR.. HAYS POSITION.
Effect of the Senate's Action on the
Sccretary's Future Course.


No one in Washington except the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay is in a position to
say authoritatively whether the ratification
of the Hay Pauncefote Treaty, as amended,
will have any effect on Mr.. Hays tenure
of office. Mr.. Hay declines to make any
statement for publication. but to friends
who have asked if he would remain in the
Cabinet if the President desired him 70
place the amendments before the British
Government for acceptance, he has said
that he has never declined TO carry out
the Presidents Instructions, thus convey
ing the inference that he would continue
to serve as Secretary of State. 1t had been
reported that Mr.. Hay would resign rather
than ask Great Britain to accept the Davis
and other amendments. He is reported to
have said also that he would not resign on
account of any personal chagrin over the
adoption. of the amendments.
When the certified copy of the treaty
has been received by the State Depart
ment from the Secretary of the Senate,
notification of the amendments made by
the Senate will be given to Lord Paunce-
fote, the British Ambassador. The State
Department will not press the British
Government to accept these amendments,
but will give Lord Salisbury and his Cab
met plenty of time to consider them. It
is expected that Great Britain will notify
this Government of her views on the
amendments, probably coupling the noti-
fication with a statement that Her Majes
tvs Government cannot accept them or
is willing to renew negotiations on a
basis of the changes made by the Sem
ate. The opinion prevailing at the State
Department is that Great Britain will de-
cline to accept the amendments.

Mrs. Sargent. Mrs. Sargent was found
lying on the bed in pool of blood and
beside her was a revolver, from which one

just above the elbow, severed several
small muscles.
