ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE
ON CANAL TREATY.
Probabilities Are II IL Is Amended.
There WIN lie "a Refusal to Com
slider Any Qualifications.

LONDON. March 12.--No communications
have passed between London and Wash
ington in regard TO the Nicaraguan canal
treaty and the reports cabled here that
Lord Pauncefote. the British ambassador,
at Washington. had sent dispatches 20 the
foreign Office bearing on this subject are
incorrect
The Associated Press Is authorized 20 say
that the attitude OF the British govern
ment is that having agreed 10 al OF Secre-
tary Hays requests without asking for a
quid pro quo, II can do nothing more, nor
express any opinion until new requests are
made through the same channels. As moth
ing OF the kind has been done. no notice
would be taken OF the senatorial action.
II appears that Lord Salisbury has thus
far devoted no attention to the matter,
The United States charge d'a6aires here
Henry White. had an interview with Lord
Salisbury today. but as far as the Asso-
ciated Press is able to ascertain the Mica
raguan canal matter was not discussed.
Under the circumstances 1t IL difficult 10
definitely say what the probable attitude
of Great Britain is on this question, but
the indications point TO tho fact that the
adoption of tho senate's amendment viii
result in Great Brtains refusal to further
consider any modification of tho Clayton
Buwer treaty.

cent order Of the treasury department for
collection Of duties on all American goods
arriving at Alaska ports in British vessels.
has created eommotion among Canadian
transportation companies and they have
forwarded to Washington vigorous protests

threaten retaliation by bringing pressure
to bear upon the Canadian government to
prohibit American vessels carrying goods
destined for Dawson and shipped through
the United States in bond.
These companies claim that, as they are
Canadian goods and destined for CANADIAN
ports, American vessels should have no
right to carry them portion Of the dis
tance. but should be carried to Vancouver
or Victoria by British bottoms and from
thence north. 1t Is strongly limited at
Washington that II such move is made,
