Announces EnglandS Consent.
A Document That AnnuIs the Bull
wer-ClnytOn COmPRct-This COun-
try Not TO FOrtIfy the Canal, which
Must Be NeutraI-Warships to He
Allowed 10 Pass at All Times.

Lord Paunnefote, the British Amoassa-
dor, called q. the State Department early
this morning and arranged with Secretary
Hay the final details for the signing Of the
convention between this country and Great
Britain. ab-ogating the Bulwer-Clayton
treaty.
Il was officially announced at the State
Department that the terms Of the agree
ment had bsen decided upon and that they
were perfectly satisfactory to this ooun-
try and 20 Great Britain. The agreement
was signed today. It viii then be sent 10
the Senate for confirmation.
Besides distinctly annulling the Bulwer-
. Clayton compact FOR joint control Of any
canal which might be cut across the isth-
mus. and vesting in the United States an
exclusive unchallenged right TO build end
manage such a waterway. the convention
Just approved commits both signatory
powers to declaration guaranteeing the
canals neutrality. and pledges the United
States to refrain from fortifying its ap-
proaches and entrances, or otherwise re-
striciIng open access to it on the part OF
the worlds commerce.
The other great maritime nations are %
be asked 10 Join IN this general guarantee e
Of the canals freedom and neutrality, and
the projected cut across Panama or Me
sragua is 10 be put on much the same
basis in International politics as is the
Suez cut between the Red Sea and the
Mediterrar can.
The waIships of all nations are 10 be
permitted 40 pass through the new canal
In time OF peace or war and no military
advantages are TO accrue TO any power
through the seizure or control OF the
canals gaIeways. In all other respects,
however. the isthmian short cut Is to be
as completely under American control as
the Suez Canal is now under British.
The negotiations began about a year ago.
Secretary Hay conducting them with the
British Ambassador in Washington. Great
Britain was Al first not disposed 10 con-
sent 10 an abrOgatlOn OF the treaty but
the Salisbury Government gradually
showed itself more open 10 argument. and
The negotiations soon began TO make favor
able progress.
Lord PaunceiOte represented Great Brit
ain throughout. no notes being exchanged
through the American Embassy in London.
The English Government at no time
eyinced a desire 90 block the way by de-
manding a quid pro quo for abrogation. and
Secretary Hay al last carried the negotia-
Jions 10 the point where American control
Of the proposed canal was confessed 10 be
the only reasonable solution OF the diplo-
matte problem.
The result was conspicuous triumph for
the Secretary Of State for 30 has disposed
without friction of the single international
obstacle which has stood in the way Of
undivided American control Of any future

THE BELIEF IN MONTANA.
The state Supreme Courts Action
Affecting the Clark Case

The state Supreme Courts Action
Affecting the Clark Case.
HELENA. Mon, Feb. 5.-The belief
seems to be spreading in Montana that
United States Senator " A. Clark Will be
excluded from his seat by the Senate,
whose Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions is now investigating the charges Of
bribery and corruption in connection with
his election one year ago. Almost every
politician Of note has been summoned to
Washingt IN to testify either pro or con,
and. Will, they are about equally divided
in partisa 1ship. the belief that Clark viii
be expelled is based largely upon the ac-
tiOn Of the Supreme Court in disbarring
John B. Welcome. Clark's manager. and
the testimony Of State Senator ". a.
Clark, o; Madison county, who svore that
he was paid SIC, 900 by Welcome 70 vote
for his namesake. With this belief so cur
rent the "sIate writer's" are already
guessing who Will be his successor.
W. C. Conrad and ]. K. TOole are prOmi-
nently mentioned and Governor Smith is
understood to be an aspirant. He is in
Washington, but declares he will Tot call
an extra session. which would preclude his
own incumbency unless he resigns and is
appointed Senator by the present rjeuten-
ant Governor, a contingency wh.-.- is re-
garded as remote.
Senator Clark, if removed it is under
stood. will again be a candidate this year,
and as Senator CarteT's term expires
March T. the coming Legislature will prob
ably have an opportunity TO elect two
Senators. The probabilities are that the
Legislature will be closely divided between
the Democrats and Republicans, with the
chances in favor OF the former.
