Britl.h Press Dominant.

London, Fec. 21.-Nearly all the
morning papers have editorials on
the action of the United States SEN
ate in connection with the Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty. They ex-
press regret, rather than surprise, at
the supersession of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty and unanimously declare
that it will be impossible for Great
Britain to accept the amended treaty.
"The senate has struck a serious
blow" says the Daily News, "at the
fundamental principles of good faith
among nations, at its own reputa-
ton and at the very constitution of
the great republic" 49,.
I'VE are thankful" says the Daily
Chronicle, "that the senate stopped
short of amendments obviously de-
signed to wreck the whole proceed
ings. We believe that a compromise
is still possible, as the resources of
diplomacy are not yet exhausted"
There is strongly evident desire
to do everything reasonable, as the
Daily Chronicle suggests, to meet the
views of the Americans in all the
comments. Several papers, however,
consider it out of the question that
the British government should for a
moment accept or discuss the amend
ed treaty.
The Times makes no comment,

Estheryille Citizen Is Arrested on .
Grave Charge.
Baskerville, Dec. 19-Fire destroyed
the residence of John A. Freeman
and wife at about half past six a. IN.
In the ruins was found the charred
body of Mrs. Freeman, all dressed.
Mr.. Freeman states that he got up,
fixed the fire and went out to do the
chores, and that he left his wife i'll
bed asleep, as she was not feeling
very well, and, the refore, he did not
wish to wake her as he went out. The
fact of her being found with all her
clothes on, the fire being fiercest in
the bed room, and Mr.. Freeman's
statements being contradictory, has
aroused a suspicion of arson and
murder, and accordingly he was ar
rested and placed in Jail pending the
coroner's inquest and other develop
ments. Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman were
married only last spring, and both
are we'll advanced in life. Mr.. Free
man is an active church worker, and
has charge of a biblical class, OF
which he is an able instructor, being
we'll versed in the bible.
