SUGGEST REVISION ?

London, Feb. 22.-According 10 a
hlgh diplomatic authority. the true
history OF the pending treaty for the
modification of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty is quite different from the cur

conference Mr.. Hay. the American
secretary OF state, asked Lord paunce-
fote. the British ambassador at Wash
ington, upon what terms Great Britain
would consent TO a revision Of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. Lord Paunce-
fote soon afterward submitted "A draft
OF a treaty drawn on the lines OF the

number of religious song books took
them TO the Wheelock House where
he has been staying. He announced
uhat he intended TO hold a revival
meeting. He was dissuaded from this
and apparently became quiet. Yester-
day morning, however. he appeared in
the hotel corridors i'm his night clothes
and made considerable disturbance. He
resisted the efforts of persons who tried
TO get him under control, at one time
freeing himself from three or four
men ana sliding down the banasters.
Finally he was induced to enter the
private office OF Sheriff H. #. Howe,
who is the proprietor, and was placed
under guard.

with an attendant from the state in
sane asylum.
Dennett was taken to Concord in the
