THE DAVIS AMENDMENT
To Hay-Pauncefote Treaty Opposed
by Central American Countries.


New York, March 2O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t can
be stated authoritativeIy that the state
department has been informed that all
of the governments of Central America
are opposed to the Davis amendment to
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
In the opinion of the governments
designated, the amendment places an
entirely new phase upon the designs of
the United States in connection with the
construction of the canal. The neutral
ity of the waterway would, to a certain
extent, have deprived the powerful re-
public of the north of an incentive to
acquire their territory. Since the war
with Spain and the consequent expan-
sion of the United States, some appre-
henSion has been expressed by the
southern countries that the United
States would next turn it's attention to
them.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was con-
sequently hailed by the Central Ameri-
can nations as a guarantee that they
would not be molested as the interna
tional neutrality of the canal would
prevent interference in isthmian at
fairs by other governments. The Davis
amendment, however, places in the
hands of this government the right to
not only take measures for its own de-
fence with reference to the canal but
permits it to use force, for the main
tenance of public order"
This is to say" said diplomat,
"supposing a condition to exist in Cen
trail America such as is now reported,
an administration in power DESTROYS of
extending the boundaries of the United
States and of securing permanent con-
troll of the waterway, could send an
armed force in Central America to
maintain public order. And this force,
on the plea of preventing a renewal
of the trouble need never be withdrawn.
Naturally the powers of Central Am
erica object to the Davis amendment,
though they have made no official rep
reservations on the subject to the state
department.
"But while this government can
negotiate any treaty it sees fit with
a European government respecting the
isthmus, you may regard 1t as certain
that the isthmian republics will decline
to recognize the provisions of any in
strument which they regard as hostile
to their interests and welfare"

WANT THEIR MONEY BACK.
100000 Paid In Taxes on Alcohol
Used In the Arts.

Washington, March 20.-The ways and
means committee held a special session
today to hear ex-Postmaster General
Don NJ. Dickinson in support of the bill
allowing the recovery of rebates, aggre-
eating about $6,0O0,OO0 on alcohol used
in the arts and manufactures. The Will
son tariff bill allowed a rebate of the
revenue tax on this article on the is
Suauce Of regulations by the secretary
of the treasury. But as the then secre-
tary of the treasury, Mr.. Carlisle did
not issue the regulation the courts have
allowed the rebate. The purpose of the
bill is to do away with the want of reg
ulations as bar to the debate.
Mr.. Dickinson said it was the mani
fest purpose of congress to grant the
rebate as an encouragement to the
trade in this country as against that in
Europe where alcohol was extensively
employed in manufactures and he
maintained that this purpose should
not be overcome by the inaction of an
executive official.
Mr.. Dickinson argued that the 1egis-
latiye power of congress could not be
delegated to any executive officer cit
ing the decision of the supreme court in
the case of the reciprocity provision of
the act of 1890 in support of his con-
tention, and that therefore, Secretary
Carlisle had no discretion under the
Wilson law in the matter of making
regulations. Congress, he continued
plainly intended to make alcohol in the
arts free. The action of the secretary
Of the treasury could not nullify or re-
peal that act. If congress intended that
alcohol should be free. the men who
had suffered by the failure of the sec
rotary to make regulations should be
entitled to have the taxes paid by them
refunded. Mr.. Dickinson pointed out
that dealers relying upon the law pro-
viding for free alcohol for use in the
arts had reduced prices and entered in
to contracts. The attorney general had
estimated that the dealers had lost S.
000.000. Mr.. Dalzell interrupted to say
that the consumers had received ad-
vantage in reduced prices. That as
sumed that every manufacturer re-
duced the price of his goods; which pro-
position Mr.. Dickinson maintained, was
not true.

This party originated at the time OF
the meeting of the gold democratic
committee in this city At that time

and urge it to recommend the nomina-
| ton of a third ticket. Failing in this,
they issued a call for a national con-
vention to be held in this city August
IA and Is. The members of the natoin-
al party hope to form an alliance with
the anti-imperialists and they hope that
| the anti-imperialists will indorse the
ticket they nominate. Louis r. Echr-
ich of Colorado Springs, Col, will be
the presiding officer of the convention
and Isaac Klein Of New York will be
secretary. To-day a conference was
helad and the following statement is
sued:
