THE HAY-PAUNcEFoTE TREATY
France Assents to the Terms of the
Canal Convention.

At conference at the State Department
between the Secretary of State and the
French Ambassador the information was
conveyed to Secretary Hay by NJ Cambon
that France assented TO she terms of the
Hay Pauncefote Treaty concerning the
naturalization of the Nicaragua Canal.
France is the last European nation to
express satisfaction with the treaty. Her
delay in making this acknowledgment
sooner was due to her desire to have the
United States accept the Panama route.
with view 10 the purchase OF the prop
erty and rights Of the Panama Canal Com
pany, in which French citizens are inter-
ested. TIE desire Of France to have the
Panama ror re adopted in preference 20 the
Nicaragua route was made known to the
State Department Immediately after the
text of the Hay-Pauneefote Treaty was
published

II does not escape public notice that the
Administration is as quiet about the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty as a cat is after steal
ing cream. This attitude will not help the
deal any. We are not prepared to say
whether the official obstruction placed
in the way Of canal legislation will
serve the purpose it was intended TO-.
namely, that OF defeating the Hepburn
Morgan bill in this session of Congress.

that unless Mr.. Mckinley shall withdraw
that convention of crawling surrender TO
Great Britain before he is many days older

take in not doing SO.

THE BEST PAVED CITY.
rhilndeiphia's Method of Improving
the Streets.

Philadelphia boasts that when the
Republican convention meets there
next June it will see the best paved
city of the first class on the American
continent. There has been great i'm
provemcnt in recent years. 1t had its
origin in the agreement with the street
Car companies to pave the whole street
with asphalt in return for trolley per.
mits. This has existed for several
years, with the result that from one of
the poorest paved cities in the country
Philadelphia is perhaps the best There
are 1,419 miles of street laid out AND
open within the limits of Philadelphia.
OF these, lob miles are paved and i'm.
proved and of these 924 miles are as.
phalt, brick or granite block. There
still remain 1870 miles of the old style
cobble pavement, which will disappear
in the next three or four years.
In the asphaltcd eXpanse of Broad
street Philadelphia claims the finest
and longest paved thorOughfarc in the
world. And the sentiment of the com.
munity is that there has never been
better investment than the money that
has been spent in this wOrk-philadel.
