A poll Of the Senate shows that
over two-thirds of that body will vote
to ratify the Hay-Psuncefote treaty
as it stands Secretary Hay has Civ
en- notice that any attempt to amend
will not be acceptable to Great Bril-
tain and would be fatal to its exis-
tence. IL the Clayton Bulwer treaty
still lives, and Mr.. Hay has formally
admitted that ID does, it is not posi-
bic for the United States to sbrogate
or amend it without the consent of
Great Britain or without breaking its
pledged word. That is to say, it is
impossible for the United States to
build the canal without Britsin's con-
sent or without breaking its word,
and it Mr.. Hay is right, and Great
Britain will not grant any other terms
than those in the new treaty, we shall
have to accept them or abandon the
canal, or break our word. There is.
however, nothing to prevent our
breaking our word, except honor or
fear of retaliation, if we choose to do
so. This matter is not generally IN
derstood. Some ten years ago the
Geary act was passed totally exclud-
ing Chinese from the United States.
In was in direct violation of our
treaty with China. Yet the courts
upheld 1t. a treaty, they said, is
simply law and can be repealed or
invalidsted bv later law. China
had no recourse whatever except to
declare war against the United States
or to retaliate in some other way. So
1t will be with the canal treaty. But,
honest dealing apart, breaking our
word with Great Britain will, of
course, be very different thing from
breaking it with China. The prln-
cipal opposition to the treaty is that
1t grants right Of interference in
our concerns to Great Britain, the
question of fortifying being thought
TO be of minor Importance. The ends
of the canal are not we'll adapted for
purposes of fertilization, in the first
place, while its many locks aud diff
hcult management make it very vul-
nerable to attack along its course. 1t
is argued that its use in war time
will be more secure under a general
guarantee Of the powers as to its neu-
trality than under any defense system
that could be insugursted. Further,
the United States now owns Porto
Rico and it is evident will soon own
the Danish West Indies, thus COM
handing the Atlantic end of the ca
nal, while negotiations are on foot to
acquire one of the Galapagos islands
commanding Its Pacific end. With
these, and with feet Of reasonable
power, the United States, it is held,
could really dominate the canal in
time Of war.

Why MARCUM LEFI.-The New
York Commercial Advertiser SAYS:
"Ex-COnsul Mscrums's abrupt and
hitherto unexplained departure from
his post at Pretoria is accounted for
by an intimate personal friend of
his in the following way:
1.-The ex-Consul is q very young
and very enthusiastic man, thorough
idealist. He was so convinced of
the justice of the Boer cause that he
felt that he could not adequately
represent the neutral attitude requir-
ed by the position of our government
toward the war He felt that if he
retained his position he could not
act up to his official duties without
infringing on his idealistic instincts.
For a while there was a sharp con
flict in his mind which resulted in
his abrubt departure for America.
Mr.. Msrcum told me himself that
this was the reason for his action. -

CLAYTON-RULwER TREATY.

Amended So As 10 Permit Construction
Of Nicaragua Canal.
WAsHlNaTON, Feb. 6.-The United
States and Great Britain, It has been
definitely learned: have reached an
amicable agreement respecting the OPP
Grafton Of the Clayton Bulwer treaty as
affecting the right of construction and
control by the United States of the pro-
posed Nicaragua canal. The result
marks the termination of the confer.
ence between the officials of the state
department and Lord Pauncefote OF
fully a years duration, during which
number of meetings were held and
the subject fully discussed by the rep
resentatives of the governments inter-
ested. Great Britain agrees to mod.
ification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
by which she practically relinquishes
any claims respecting legal control
of the Nicaragua canal after it shall
have been constructed. The result
thereof is to eliminate that feature OF
the treaty bearing upon the subject OF
dual control and to leave the United
States free to construct and thereafter
control this great inter-oceanic water
way. From the same authoritive
quarter it is ascertained that England
has made no demands for a quid pro
quo for her abandonment of whatever
rights she may have had under the
treaty and which she now promises to
relinquish.

lneonpstsnoy Of the Cabinet Causes
{! Amusement.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-The indignation,
humiliation and amazement of the
nation At the incompetency displayed
by its ministers has arisen to heights
probably never before attained. While
the empire is engaged in the most
serious struggle to which it has been
committed since the first years of the
nineteenth century, while statesmen
and legislatures of self-governing COL
onies faithfully represent the imperial
spixit of their constituents, while Brit.
ishers of all ranks have arisen to the
occasion with courage and unanimity
unsurpassed in their annals, statesmen
at home have committed themselves to
party nanevers, mutual recrimina-
tons, contradictions, shnfiling cvas-
ions and palpably lame excuses, so ut
terly needless Of the temper of tho
people, that a movement in favor OF q
reconstruction of the cabinet, first in.
augurated u few weeks ago, promises,
unless more vigorous policy is speed
lily adopted, to develop into a national
uprising which will sweep out the pol
iticians whose utter failure almost
appears to justify, in the words of the
Daily Mail, "prophesy of the downfall
of the British empire so literally
poured forth by writer's and speakers
in the United States and on the CONT
nent." Even the Times, that bulwark
of conservatism, declares the chatter
in the house of commons during the
past few days is simply irritating and
offensive to nine out Of ten persons in
the United Kingdom. Consequently it
is not astonishing that people are look.
ing for some strong man to lead them.
Lord Roseberry's name is most promi-
nent. His pitiiess flashing Of Sails
bury on the day parliament reas'
sembled marks him, in the opinion Of
many, as the right man to face the
present imperial crisis.
