pate, as time goes on, that it will be the
most potent influence to determine the
immediate source of values. failure
on the exchange caused little or no dis
turbance, as the standing and import

We can add nothing new to what we
have advised of late, namely, that in.
dustrial shares of the better class will
do to buy on dips, while mnay railroad

SENATORS DON'T LIKE 1T.
Why the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty Is Like
ly to Be Amended.

ly to Be Amended.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Unless the
desired fertilization clause is incor-
porated in the Nicaragua canal treaty
with Great Britain the pact is likely
to be pigeon-hglcd by the United
States senate. Such action was fore.
Swallowed in the republican senatorial
caucus. a tacit agreement being reached
to sidetracls it for other measures il
the amendment demanded is not made.
Without such amendment the treaty
seems doomed either to death by in
anition or to outright defeat. The
former seems the more proba BILE course.
as the friends Of the treaty do not dare
push it to a vote and the opponents
are we'll satisfied with action tanta-
mount to laying it on the table. 1t
can therefore be predicted with reas-
enable safety that the favorite sena-
torial custom of killing an objection
able measure by crowding it out with
other measures is again to he resorted
to- Failure to act on the treaty is
likely to be accompanied by lack of
legislation during the present ses-
sion of congress for the construction
of the canal itself. Pending the def
mite settlement of the diplomatic
questions involved the friends of the
project are not DESTROYS of pushing it
at a time when their success may put
the United States to a maximum of
expense for minimum of profit. For
these reasons the opinion is gaining
ground that no action will be taken
on either the treaty or the canal itself
until next winter.

War Denounced as a Crime.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Supporters of the
liberal party to the number of 300 or
400 held a private meeting at the
Westminster Palace hotel to protest
against the governments war policy.
The resolutions adopted declared the
war a "crine and blunder," commit
ted at the instigation of irresponsible
capitalists; demanded the publication
of the full correspondence regarding
the Jameson raid; protested against
the increasing ornaments; reaffirmed
the liberals gratitude to Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, John Morley
and James Bryce, and decided to open
a permanent fund to carry on a vigor-
GUS political propaganda for the prin'
ciples thus enunciated.

Claims His Position In Pretoria Wa
1nsufferablo.
!. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-In q state.
ment issued yesterday Charles Macrum
former United States consul to Pre-
toria, says: @
"The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an official, could not
remain there while my government at
home was apparently in the dark as to
the exact conditions in South Africa;
secondly, as man and citizen of the
United States, l could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-re-
spect and that of the people of Pretoria,
while the government at home contln-
ued to leave me in the position OF a
British consul and not an American
consul. want to say right here that
there was not single request made OF
me through the department OF state
looking to the care of British interests
in Pretoria which l did not fulfill and
report upon according to my orders.
On the other hand, American interests
in South Africa were in condition
which demanded that the department
of state should be cognizant Of them.
II issued the statement received
from the state department that
Americans must remain neutral. In
the face of this Americans were con-
tinually going to the front and taking
up arms in the cause of the Beers. l
could not help but know that many
of these were citizens Of the United
States. l also know that many Of
them in utter despair at the apparent
attitude of our own government were
taking tire oath of allegiance to the
Transvaal republic. When affairs had
reached that stage that my vice consul,
Mr.. Van Ameringen, closed up his bus
mess, took the oath of allegiance to
the republic and went to the front as
q burgher, thought the time had
come when should make report OF
these conditions.
lie goes on to explain that his mail
was opened by the British authorities.
He therefore asked leave of absence
and came to Washington to report the
conditions, but was surprised upon his
arrival to learn that he was no longer
in the cosular service and that the de-
partment of state expected no report
from him.
