4 The Hay .Paunosfots treaty not only
provides for an International neutralisa-
ton Of the cans1 but 10 10 statesm an
like document in other ways. The Clay
ton Bulwer treaty has long bssn nenace
to the peaceful relations Of England and
America on account OF the divergent
views ntertainGd In the United States ~
to Its validity and its utility. From
time to time parties have arisen which
desired to secure exclusive control Of the
canal and which, therefore, convinced
tbemss selves that the treaty was NO longer
binding. There has always been dan
ger that these views wuuld induce some
misguided admin istration 90 disregard
at critical junoture the obligations Of
this agreement, and bring on dispute,
perhaps a conflict, with England. With
admirable foresi0ht Mir. Hay has taken
up the question at convenient season
source OF DISPUTE Is settled, for the mean
Ing OF the Clay tom Bulwer treaty IL made
precise BY the new agreement. The tegiti-
m ate ambitions OF the United States are
gratified py receiving the right to build
and own the canal. Whether the govern
ment is q question of finance, the discus
sion OF which does not come within the
limits Of this article.
But, while giving to the Unitsd Stats
the right to construct the canal, the Hay
Paupoefots treaty declares that 1t shall
re open to the ships Of all nations in
time of war as we'll as In time OF peace,
and that the powers shall be Invited to
guarantee the neutrality OF the route.
The stipulations as to the passage Of
warsbips through the canal, the taking
abo ard of supplies, the landing OF troops.
the prohibition of blockade, and similar
details are practically the same rsguln-
tions as thcss adopted for the Suez canal.

cradle light on the relations between LOT

his relations with the club are pleasant
and that he will be manager when the sea-
son opens. His team being located in

| ALEXANDRIA, Va. January IL, 1900
In the police court this morning Mayor
Simpson heard the cases of twenty-seven
persons charged with operating slot ma
chimes as gambling devices. Nine were dis
| missed and the others were assessed the
| corpora ton fine of s. each. The following
were those whom fines We're imposed:
James Fitzgerald, c. r. Davis, John
Keller and William Wade, reported by
| Officer Davis; H. P. Helwig. Fred Schwab,
| the Big Four Cigar Company. b. B. Smith,
J. Kelley. George Finch. Harry Rice and
James Fegan, by Officer Knight: Owen
Nugent. Paul Bihler, VIM Brawner Sam'l
Winfield, VIM Cox and George Emmert
| by officer Wilkinson.
i The parties were charged with operating
| at their PAGES of business slot machines,
which, when set to working by penny,
would sometimes yield cigars. but again
would give the players no return.
Mayor Simpson. in disposing of the cases,
said the proprietcrS of the machines We're
between two horns of dilemma, for if
the machines were not gambling devices
| they wera licensed Instruments of revenue
and in that case, he said. for nearly two
years the pr1prietors had been violating
the state laws. He held however that the
| machines were illegal devices. declaring
that the element of chance entered as
largely into the distribution of the proceeds
from the machines as it does in any other
species of gambling device
1t was O aimed by some of the accused
| parties this morning that they did not own
the machines. but were housing them on a
percentage for local agent. The matter
will probably be further investigated. and
other offenders brought before the mayor
and fined Chief Webster last night or
dered the investigation.
