WANTS TREATY ABRoGATED.
RESOLUTION AGAINST CLAYTON
BULWER CONVENTION.
Senator Morgan Reports the Resoiu-
ton Favorabiy to the Senate.
Says the CInyton-Bulwer Conven-
tion Must Give Way to the Con-
struction of the Nicaragua Canal.
Abrogation of That Treaty Would
Clear the Way for the Canal.

Clear the Way for the Canal.
Washington, June 4.-Senator Morgan,
from the Committee on Inter-Oceanic Ca
nals, to-day favorably reported to the Sem
ate the resolution for the abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. AS reported 10
the Senate the resolution reads:
THAT the treaty known as the Clayton
Bulwer treaty between Great Britain and
the United States, which was concluded on
the 10Th day of April, 1850 is abrogated."
In presenting the resolution Mr.. Morgan
made a written report traversing the
grounds for the abrogation of the treaty
in considerable detail.
The report II practically plea for the
House Nicaragua canal bill. In IL Sena-
tor Morgan says that 'if the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. stands in the way of the
purposes of our government 1t must give
way to the paramount law II the House
bill is enacted into a statute OF the Uni
ted States"
He admits, however, that 1t is a ques-
ton whether Il is an obstruction. The ef-
feet of the Hay-Pauncefote negotiations
is discussed in detail and the conclusion
is drawn that 'as to all that relates to
the canal the Hay-Pauncefote treaty If II
is ratified terminates and abrogates the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty"
But, he says, If the Senate should re-
ject the Hay -Pauncefote treaty the startl-
ing question will be raised whether the
Senate in the exercise of its treaty-mak-
ing power can abrogate or paralyze its
treaties. .l
The Duty of Congress,
In conclusion the report says that ''if
the Clayton Bulwer treaty is In force and
II Great Britain so insists, it is the clear
duty of Congress TO declare that 1t is ab-
rogated."
If the treaty is abrogated the conclusion
is that the way is cleared for proposing
to Nicaragua and Costa Rica such terms
as may be appropriate for acquiring In
those states whatever rights and powers
they are at liberty to concede to enable
the United States to construct and con-
troll the canal; and also to open the way
for such a general declaration as to the
neutrality of the canal as shall meet the
appreciation of the civilized Powers.
If thise resolution is rejected and the
ay-Pauncefote treaty Is moi ratified, 1--WE
will be left says the report. Ito the
alternative we should now accept of de-
claring that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
cannot stand as a perpetual barrier, II
such is the pleasure of Great Britain,
against the right of the United Staes to
construct and own a ship canal In con-
nection with Costa Rica and Nicaragua
TO connect the waters Of the Atlantic, and
Pacific oceans.
"The passage of the House bill now
pending in the Senate should be the first
step in this Indispensable movement"

simply concerned in keeping a clear
ring for the combatants, so that their
ink may flow freely and in large guam

with first ink. He revives the charge
that the fair Mabel is guilty of pla-
giarism in her book Hawaii Mel, and
also in an article about Mexico. The
lady editress has not yet replied, but
she may be looked for tomorrow, and
may be trusted to stab hard, with
venonous pen and acrid ink, when
once she lets down her back hair. In
the meantime, whilst awaiting sem

having added a new and most express
sive word to the English language.
He hints that any one who may dare
TO thwart the will of the gentle Mabel
will be subjected TO girlcott.

His Farewell Written.

a drunken man arrested Thursday
night evidently had an idea that he
would die sometime while under the in
huence OF liquor, and carried a letter In
his pocket in which he had written his
farewell to life. The letter was signed
and probably written while in a fit OF
melancholy. RE desired death rather
than the continued life of a drunkard.
He wanted his body cremated, and in
timated that New York brother would
stand the expenses. A few lines writ
ten on the same letter dedicated to
woman" were in the nature of a toast.
He was fined 81 and costs in the Police
