Another Amendment Abolisfes the Old
on-Bulwer Treaty says They Don't
Derogate From Intention of Having the
Canal Neutral Highway.

Washington, Dec. % Senator
Lodgg, who had charge of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in the senate. made
a statement, which said in part. that
the amendments were not dictated by
hostility toward England, nor were
they in any degree a reflection upon
the secretary of state.
He further said in part:
''The first amendment Is a simple
declaration that the Clayton Bulwer
treaty ceases to exist. and is super
seeded by the Hay pauncefote treaty.
The object Of the latter was to re.
move the former as an obstacle to the
construction of the isthmian canal

which follows exactly In principle,
and almost exactly in words, article
X of the SueZ convention, which re-
served similar rights to Turkey.
whose interest in the Suez canal is
trivial compared to ours in that pro-
posed in Nicaragua.
THE third amendment strikes out
article III, by which we engaged to
invite other nations to adhere to the
treaty and thereby become parties to
it. Had there been no Clayton Bull

ed with no one except Costa Rica and
