NICARAGUA CANAL TREATY.

England Agrees That Our Govern
ment Shall Have Absolute Control.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The United
States and Great Britain have reached
an amicable agreement respecting the
operations of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty as affecting the right of con-
struction and control by the United
States of the proposed Nicaragua canal.
The result marks the termination of
conferences between the officials of
the state department and Lord Pannce-
fote Of fully years duration. during
which number of meetings were held
and the subject fully discussed by the
representatives of the governments in
terested Great Britain agrees to a
modification of the Clayton-BulweI
treaty. by which she practically rein-
quishes any claims respecting dual
control Of the Nicaragua canal after 1t
shall have been constructed. The re-
suit. therefore, Is to eliminate that
feature of the treaty bearing on the
subject of dual control and to leave
the United States free to construct and
therefore control this great inter-
oceanic waterway. The substitute
treaty was formally signed today by
Secretary Hay for the United States
and Ambassador Pauncefote for Great
Britain.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Democrats
Of the house continued their assault
upon the Philippine policy Of the ad-
ministration during the general de-
bate upon the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill yesterday. Two
speeches were made by Democratic
members of the foreign affairs COM
mittee. Mr. Dinsmore of Arkansas and
Mr.. Champ Clark of Missouri, oppos-
ing the retention Of the islands. The
speech OF Mr.. Clark. which lasted al
most two hours, was notable effort,
replete with unique epigrams, and at
tracted much attention.
Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania. who
was elected as a Democrat, but who
made a speech last week defending
expansion, was goaded yesterday into
the announcement that the Democrats
could consider his seat constructively
on the Republican side.

AN EX-CONSUE'S SECRET
Mr.. Macrum Will Keep It For q
Few Days Longer.
HAS GONE TO HIS OHIO HOME.
Failed to Meet Secretary Hay and
Did Not Feel Inclined to submit His
Message to Assistant Secretary


Washington, Feb. 6-Mr. Macrum
has come and gone and the reason for
his leaving Pretoria when duty seemed
to demand his presence at that capital
remains as deep a mystery as ever. and
must so remain probably for another
week. The eX-consul's appearance
was awaited at the state department
with interest. Just before noon yes
terday Representative Tayler. of whose
congressional district Mr.. Macrum is a
resident, called at the department and
spent some time in conference with AS
sistant Secretary Hill, and was follow
ed late in the afternoon by Mr., M2-
crum, who came alone. Secretary
Hay, who had an eXhausting day, had
gone, so the eX-consul was obliged to
pay his respects to Dr. Hill. His stay
was short. about 90 minutes perhaps.
and he left DR.. Hill as much in the
dark as he had been before as to Mr..
Macrum's motive for leaving Pretoria.
Nor did II develop whether or not Mr..
Macrum was the bearer of any mes
sage from Kruger. He did not mention
the subject to DR.. Hill.
Mr.. MaCrum said nothing as to his
reasons for appearing in Washington
but asked that he be permitted 20 30
to his home in East Liverpool, O.. for a
few days tn attend to some matters or
business which were pressing, and to
rest. DR.. Hill had no objection, and
Macrum left for Ohio last night. He
promised to be back here soon. per-
haps before the end of the present
week, and said he then would make a
formal report to the state department.
AS he left the state department Mr..

to the Transvaal said that he looked
very much broken and lacked the vim
that formerly characterized him.
