So Far as Is Known England Re-

the Rights Surrendered-OneF Fac
tor In the Nicaraguan Canal
Problem Eliminated by the Pro-
cesses of Diplomacy.

WASHINGTON, Feb 4-The United
States and Great Britain, 1t was definite
ly learned tonight, have reached an ami
cable agreement as regards the opera
tions Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as re-
spects the right of control and operation
by the United States Of the proposed Mic
araguan canal.
The result marks the termination Of ne
gotiations between the officers of the
state department and Lord Pauncefote,
of fully years duration, during which
time a number Of meetings were held, and
the situation fully discussed by the repre-
sentatives of the governments interested
Great Britain agrees to modification Of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by which she
relinquishes any claim respecting legal
control of the Nicaraguan canal after 1t
has been constructed The result, there
fore, is to eliminate that portion of the
treaty respecting dual control, and to
leave the United States free to construct
and afterwards control this great water
way.
In all the discussions which have been
had, both in congress and out Of 1t, for a
long number of years over the proposed
canal, the question Of English rights un-
der the Bulwer- Clayton treaty has form
ed prominent feature, and on more than
one occasion has given rise to the query
whether or not the United States govern
ment had the moral right to provide for
the construction Of the canal without a
modification of the treaty.
From the same authoritative quarter 1t
is ascertained that England has made no
demands for a quid pro quo for her aban-
donment of whatever rights she may have
had under the treaty, and which she now
promises to relinquish. Just what shape
the agreement between the governments
interested is to take is not stated, though
it is inferred a new treaty will be drafted
and sent to the senate for its approval.

the goal. The fact is, the country has
been too prosperous to warrant any hope
of change in the national administra-
ton, and people are slow to take up re-
form measures when times are as good as
they are at present. No, 1 am not can

TALKED OVER TREATY.

Conference Between Lord Salisbury
and MIR. Choate at London.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-United States Am
bassador Choate conferred with Lord SAL
isbury at the foreign office last Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. 1t is believed
that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was talk
ed of, and it is also believed that if Great
Britain would consent to yield her posi-
ton towards the Nicaragua canal, this
is an opportune moment to ask for some
thing in return.
What that something may be is con-
lecture purely, as neither the British for
eign Office nor the United States embassy
has any Communication to make regard
ing the subjects pending and not COM
pleted.

Puerto Rfcan Mortgages Cannot He
Foreclosed for Six Months.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Jan 3O-On
the very day the first Puerto Rican COM
mission arrived in Washington the fol-
lowing order was issued:
San Juan, Jan. .19.-By direction of the
secretary of war the provisions of gen.
eral orders, by which the foreclosure of
mortgages in Puerto Rico was suspended
until Jan. 10, 1900, are hereby extended
for six months, or for such less time as
may be hereafter announced by compe-
tent authority.
This order for the time being settles
one of the most momentous questions.
The order was cabled from Washington
on the very day that the suspension of
the foreclosure of mortgages, as ordered
by Gen. Henry, expired. The bankers
and capitalists were ready to jump on
the helpless planters the following day.
Companies and combinations were FORM
ed to snatch the earth from the present
owners.

and come to her bed in the night. She
asked several times who II was, and the
negro answered each time in a whisper.

When she reached out her hand and put
Il on his head and discovered that it was

sleeping on the back piazza. The negro
then jumped out OF the window and ran
She was able to see as he went through

sleeves and OF short stature.
Before entering Mr. Clifton's house he

sisters were alone In the house. Mr.. Rog-
