MAY NOT BE RATIFIED.

Hay-Pauncefote Cana. Treaty Said to BE
P~IgeOnhOled.
MINNEAPOLIS, March S.--A Journal
Washington special says: It is said OH
good authority that the Hay-Pauncefote
canal treaty is not likely TO be ratified
by the senate. Tt has been put into a
pigeonhole in the desk of Senator Cush-
man X. Davis, chairman Of the foreign
affairs committee, and there will re-
main indefinitely.
The claim is now made that the sena.
tor is not friendly to the treaty. AL.
though not given to talking freely,
Davis has said enough to the fellow
members Of the committee to let them
know Enthusiastically how he feels. Tt
seems that he was not . consulted Or
taken into the confidence of the state
department while the negotiations were
in progress. Secretary Hay felt himself
quite competent to negotiate the treaty
and the first Senator Davis knew of it
was when it was sent to the senate for
the approval of that body, This was al
%undoubted discourtesy to the chairman
of the senate committee Oh foreign az
fairs.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Post

reiterated his belief that the people of
Porto Rico were entitled to free trade
with the United States. He made it
clear that his views had undergone no
change since he wrote his message to
congress. At the same time he said he
wa unable to subscribe to the theory
that the constitution followed the flag;
that the Porto Ricans must have free
trade as a necessary legal right. When
he found that the house deemed it the
part Of wisdom, the president explained,
to impose a small tariff upon condition
that the revenues SO collected all be re.
