Washington, Dec. 17.-The senate

ministration and has brought II to
terms. II has compelled the admins
tration TO accept amendments TO the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty which not
only give the United States the right
TO defend the isthmian canal in any
way II sees At, but practically wipes
out OF existence the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. which has been so many years
an obstacle TO canal construction,
The senators not only obtained from
the administration Its acceptance OF
these concessions to the American
spirit, which is so robust in the SEN
ate, but secured the promise of both
the president and Secretary Hay that
they would use their best endeayors
TO obtain the consent Of England to

Washington, Dec. 17.-Ex-President
Benjamin Harrison's attack upon

many bitter comments here. How
ever, that was not needed to arouse

Americas home products, he said, and
especially the freedom of the Filipinos

causes of alarm.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 1s.-The Atlanta

Former President Cleveland obtained
by n staff correspondent at Mr.. Cieve-
lands home. "In my opinion" said
Mr.. Cleveland, "the great need of the
democratic party is to return TO first
principles. The democratic party has
been fatally disorganized but il sadly
needs rehabilitation on purely demo-
cratic lines. What is the matter with
the party? II has in my humble
Judgment, simply wandered off after
strange gods. A large mass of demo
cratic voters saw this before the last
election. They remained quiet but
when the time came TO vote they said
This is not democracy, and refused ia
support It. AS see II, II is the duty
of democrats everywhere to aid in
the rehabilitation of the party. With
sincere return to its old-time doc
trines the old-time victories OF the
democratic party viii certainly be
won"

leaders In Nebraska to abandon the

be worked out at this gathering. The
only question is whether the rank and

leaders hope the fealty of populists
to Bryan will result In the plan GO
ing through. Bryan, it is said, has
been consulted, and is in favor Of
