Pauncefote treaty be ratified. this govern

OF commencing the construction Of the
Nicaragua canal.
J, Is thoroughly appreciated by the au-
thoTitles. who have been carefully looking
up this feature OF the matter. that France
has il in her power 20 delay the construc-
ton Of the canal through Nicaragua, IN
less the United States. supported by other
powers OF Europe, should Degin buildins
the canal without reference to the treaty
existing between the French republic ana
Nicaragua. which was signed on April H.
lS& This treaty contains this irnportan,

Advantages whatsoever relating to the passage n

granted or givea 10 be enjoyed BY the most favored

The treaty also extends the protection
"f the French government to all routes
OF communication across Nicaragua and
guarantees their neutrality and inoffen-
sive use, and empowers the French gov
eminent, in case of danger threatening
French lives ana property, to use troops
to give them protection.
Ii Is stated n official circles that before
American construction Of the canal can
begin, Nicaragua will have to take meas
ire for the abrogation OF her treaty with
France and with other nations as we'll.
This she can do by giving twelve months
notice required by the treaty Frances
adherence TO the Hay-PaUncefote treaty
would settle the matter Just as effectu-
ally, il is thought, as if she were 10 de-
nounce her treaty with Nicaragua. How
ever, In view of Frances great interest
in the Panama canal, and in view of the
understanding the authorities have, as to
her attitude in the meter of the pend
ing treaty, IL is evident TO then that she
will carefully consider the policy she will
pursue before acquiescing in the Hay
Pauncefote convention.
The President and Secretary Hav are
very much gratified at the view taken of
the treaty by other European govern
ments. and their information from all
the Central American states, with the
exception of Honduras, which has not vet
been heard from, is to tie effect that
they are very much pleased with the
provisions of the convention.

Wednesday, Proceedings.

Representative Levy. OF New York, has
introduced a bill amending the war tariff
act by reducing the tax on beer from s. to
81. fixing the duty on tobacco at cents
per pound; cigars and cigarettes, s. per
1000; repeating the tax on tea and reduc-
ing many of the stamp taxes. Mr.. Levy
says as to his bill:
THE Secretary of the Treasury has
stated that the surplus from revenues of
the government will amount to between
SIC, 100000 to 100000 this year. The re-
port of the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue for 1899 shows that the estimated
revenues from the special war tax &c.
Oo,0O) was exceeded by over g, 500 600. The
daily expenditures of the government are
decreasing and will continue to decrease,
now that the war with Spain is over.
The need of 500 000,000 proposed to be
raised by the war tax will no longer exist
II is the aim of this bill to reduce taxa
ton by internal revenue by at least 500
c00,0OO or, say $50,C0O,OO0, and the object
which il seeks to accomplish is the resro-
ration of this amount TO the pockets CT
the people, who will put it in business cir
cuiaIiOu."
