TREATY SIGNED.
u. s. May Control Nicaragua
Canal.
England Gives Up It's
Treaty Rights.
Nothing Is Asked in Return for
Concession.
Treaty Before Senate
Committee.
Members Who Have Read 1t
Approve 1t.

Washington, February 5.-The Hay
Pauncefote treaty amending the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty regarding the Nicara-
qua canal was signed at the state de-
partment this morning.
Secretary Hay declined to make public
the text OF the treaty or even to make
any statement as to its details. holding
that courtesy to the Senate obliged him
to remain silent until the Senate itself
removed the seal of confidence from the
convention. So that all that is now
known of this convention is that it
amends the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of
1850 in such a manner that Great Britain
yields to the United States the right to
construct the Nicaragua canal, or a
canal at any other point on the isthmus,
without British participation. Most of
the other features in the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty are retained. This is notably true
of article number s, which guarantees
the absolute neutrality of any canal and
the security of the capital invested. 1t
is understood that the United States
continues upon itself this obligation to
maintain the naturalization of the canal,
which shall be forever open and free. 1t
is also believed that the treaty looks to
an international undertaking on this
point.
Because the requirements of interna-
tional courtesy would not otherwise be
observed, it is expected that the Senate
will not make the convention public be-
fore tomorrow and on this point there
has been some understanding between
Secretary Hay and the British govern
ment. This treaty was arranged be-
tween Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote, who are the principals, and who
manifested that fact by signing the
treaty.
As soon as the treaty is ratified and
| the ratifcations have been exchanged,
the United States will be at liberty to
proceed at once with the construction OF
an isthmian canal unfettered by any OBJ
legations towards Great Britain save
that of allowing to British citizens as to
the citizens of other nations, the use OF
the canal on the same terms with Ameri-
can citizens.
There is absolutely no quid Pro quo
offered TO Great Britain in this treaty
| in return for the valuable concession tc
the United States. Whatever return the
United States may chose to make fol
this concession is thing of the future.

In reaching an agreement IL explained
by the fact that the whole matter wa $
practically settled between secretary
Hay and Ambassador Pauncefote In 1898,
and had not the Alaska dispute crupped
up, it is probable the powers would have

the matter, after first having submitted

WILL ARBITRATE.
Taylor VIII Leave His Case TO Any
Three Fair Minded Men.

Frankfort. February ST. will lea'e
the set Element Of this controversy to any
three fair-minded men ON EARTH" said
Gov. Tay Ior, In an interview this after
noon with a correspondent Of The Associ-
ated Press.
"Let three men In whom the people
have confidence be selected by the Cnitei
States supreme court and / will with all
contidsrcs submit the case to their arbi-
tration and will cheerfully abide by their
decision In the matter. 1 was elected
governor Of the state Of Kentucky not by
n maioritj of 200. but by a majority OF
20. 900. and on that decls sion of the people,
propose to stand.
"No acts OF the legislature in regard to
my case have been legal because no meet
ing of the Legislature has been held &C.
cording to law. The constitution provides
that the legislature shall consist Of two
bodies. the Senate and the lower house
and shall sit at the seat OF government.
That seat OF government Is in Frankfort
unless the governor oonvsnes the lesisiat-
ure at some other point have oonvenei
the legislature at London, where 1t Will
continue to sit for the present at Least,
and no action by the Democratic MEM
bers of the Legislature can therefore have
any legal standing.
"Another thing, 1 have never been
given formal notice that 1 had been de-
posed by act Of the Legislature. When
such notice OF the act of the Democratic
mem bers Of the legislature Is given me-
will either ignors 1t or veto 1t.

When man goes to pay his
taxes, he likes to know that the man
behind the counter is reliable and
trustworthy. He likes to know that
the hard-earned dollars paid in are
to be credited to the right man, and
that the tax account for which the
money was applied will be forever
squared. He wants everything con.
nected with the transaction to be
correctly done, SO that he may go
his way in peace without fear of be.
ing called upon to pay the same ac-
count a second time. And it is
right in this partic ular that Telt
Burnett, as an official, is a sure
shot. His business methods are SO
correct and careful that his books
are absolutely free from error. Tax
money paid to him goes exactly to
the account where it belongs, and
the payer is never called upon to
pay a second time. 1t is both a
pleasure and a relief, to have be-
hind the sheriff's counter such an
official with whom to do business.
With a clean record in this particu-
lar for the past four years as deputy
sheriff, what continued excellence
may be expected of him as chief of
the Office? Under such conditions,
how can men have doubts as to
whom to vote for?
