FATE OF THE TREATY
AWAITED IN ENGL AND
Senate Proceedings Watched
With a Deal of Interest.
ATTITUDE OF SALISBURY

He Did Not Take the Initiative, but
Responded to a Suggestion From
This Country - Proposed Amend.
ments Regarded as Hostile.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE fate of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is awaited here with
more interest than anxiety. Its rejec-
ton or even an amendment in a spirit
hostile to the Suez regulations will be
regarded as a sign that the American
senate is bent upon ending rather than
amending the Clayton Bulwer conven-
ton, and upon doing this, moreover, in
an offensive way.
The British government did not take
the Initiative in opening negotiations
for revision of the convention of 1850.
1t merely responded in most friendly
spirit to suggestion from the state de-
partmeut that the time had come for
adopting an antiquated treaty to altered
conditions in spirit of mutual accom-
mediation and good will. 1t conceded
everything that was asked and merely
stipulated that the Suez principles
should be applied to any canal under
American control. Tie rejection of the
convention will be considered as an IN
dicatiOn that the American government
does not know its own mind, and that
it does not value the concessions made
In response to its own solicitations.
The adoption of Notifications amend
ment will be the signal for a strong
press agitation here against departure
from Suez practice, and the foreign
off hn IL
declines ia accept the treaty in a new
form.
Lord SaIisbury's Attitude.
It is understood in diplomatic circles
here that Lord Salisbury, at the outset
of the negotiations, expressed a willing
ness to settle the canal question if he
could receive an assurance that the
treaty would have the support of the
senate, and that the various senators of
the foreign relations committee were
consulted i'll advance, whether they had
committed themselves or not to the
treaty.
1t is considered singular by diplomat
lists here that the question of fortifying
the ends of the canal should be raised.
No European power which is without
coaing stations and a naval base close
at hand can ever menace American
control of the canal, and England is the
only one which is adequately supplied
in the West Indies with these indispen-
sable accessories for naval warfare If
Americans insist upon fortifying the
canal it must be because they have their
eyes upon Port Royal and Santa Lucia,
and dread British interference with the
waterway. Although Lord Salisbury
has renowned in the new treaty the
principle of dual control, England, hav-
ing acted In good faith, would prefer to
have Americans accept the treaty in its
original form

New r. r. Depot tor i7obiIe.

President Smith, of the L. 6
n, and President Russell, of the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad, were in
conference Wednesday at Mobile.
1t is understood that the ICON
fab" between the two distin-
guished railroad officials had,
amongst other matters, reference
to the erection of union passen-
ger depot in the Gulf City. There
seems to be no doubt whatever
about the building of the depot,
and at least two desirable sites are
available for the purpose. What
the outcome of Wednesdays con-
ference was is not known, but 1t
is safe to predict that the depot
will be built and in occupancy
within a year from ground being
broken. There are three trunk
lines operating in and out of Mo
bile, viz: NJ. & o., L. & n, and
Southern Railway. The Mobile,

built. This road Will make i'm

The Magic of Seif-Confidence.

A mans success in life Is us
ually in proportion to his conf
dence in himself and the energy
and persistence with which he
pursues his aim. In this compet-
ing age, there is little hope for the
man who does not thoroughly be-
lleve in himself. The man who
can be easily discouraged or turned
aside from his purpose-the man
who has no iron in his blood-wlll
never win.
Half the giants strength is in
the conviction that he is Il giant.
the strength of a muscle is en-
HANGED a hundred-fold by the will
power. The same muscle, when
removed from the giants arm
when divorced from the force of
the mighty wlli-can sustain but a
fraction of the weight it did mo-
ment before it was disconnected.
Oh, what miracles confidence
has wrought! What impossible
deeds it has helped to perform!
1t took Napoleon over the Alps
in midwinter; it took Farragut
and Dewey past the cannons, tor
pedoes, and mines of the enemy;
it led Nelson and Grant to vic
tory; it has been the great tonic
i'll the world of discovery, inven-
ton, and art; it has helped to win
the thousand triumphs in war and
science which were deemed impos-
sible.
The man without self-confidence
and an iron will is the plaything
of chance, the puppet Of his en-
yironment, the slave of circum-
stances. With these. he is king:
ever master of the situation

The Standard Oil Octopus.

The magnates of the Standard
Oil monopoly is entering upon the
present spring in high feather.
Our dispatches today tell that
they have just declared a modest
little quarterly dividend of $20,-
900, 900. This means $80,000,000
a year profit on a capitalization
of 100000, 900. The quarterly
dividend declared by this compa-
nv today il nearly four times the
amount of the quarterly interest
on our national debt. The pro-
fits of the Standard Oil Company
have been increased enormously
by the recent arbitrary advance
of 3 cents on the price of kerosene
oil. This advance was made in
spite of the fact that the methods
of producing and refining kero-
sene are being constantly cheapen-
ed; it WAS made simply and solely
because this corporation was
greedy for more eXtortionate pro-
fits and has the power to squeeze
the public.
1t dictates terms to the greatest
railroads IN the country, controls
and directs legislation in many
States and frequently makes its
power felt in the Federal Congress.

A. AND VI. BRANCH FOR HANCOCK.

The suggestion made in these
columns last week anent securing
for Hancock County the $40. 900
branch of the State Agricultural
and Mechanical College has
aroused the best kind of interest
toward a favorable and early con-
summation. That is right. If
there was ever anything worth
striving for, it is this; and nothing
would or could mean so much for
the county. Correspondence with
headquarters has been opened,
and replies that will give all the
necessary information will no
doubt soon be forthcoming. When
citizens of a locality become gen.
orally interested, and individually
assist in projects that will vastly
rebound to local good, it wins
commendation unsolicited and un
bounded In character. President
Keller, of the Commercial and
Industrial Club, and others of
that organization are intensely
interested, as are also the County
Bank officials. Representative
Bowers is also participating in the
work, and being a member OF the
body that empowered and author
lied the creation of this State in
stitution branch, will guide and
give valuable assistance. The Echo
gives below the full text of the bill
as it passed both houses of the
Legislature this month, and it
would appear that its Trainer had
Hancock County III mind when
writing:

piny woods region of the State.
The said board of trustees are au-
thorized to accept donations of
lands, lumber, agricultural I'M
plements, fertilizers, money,
