ENGLAND SETS UP A HOWL.
Roar of the Lion at senatss Action on
the Canal.

Roar of the Lion at Senats's Action ON
the Canal.
London, Dec. 14.-The adoption by
the United States senate of the Davis
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty is evidently regarded as far too
weighty matter for hurried comment
by the London morning journals. Ac-
cordingly the Times and most of the
other papers postpone their editorial
treatment of the question in it's pres
ent phase. The Daily Chronicle, how
ever, publishes short notice, in which
it says:
'."rhe news is very serious indeed.
1t means, in word, that the jingoes
and Anglophobes of the United States
senate have triumphed and that we
are back again today where we were
at the time of the Venezuela imbroglio
and President Cleveland's insolent and
provocative speech. The better feeling
manifested during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war has been shaken by pro- Boer
sympathizers and it is now swamped
by self-interest The Americans in
tend to fortify the canal in spite Of the
treaty engagement to the contrary. We
cannot possibly stand by and allow the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty to be thus i'm
periously set aside The good relations
between the, two countries must of
necessity be gravely menaced. This
is the outcome of Mr. McKinley's re-
election. Worse could hardly have
happened If Mr.. Bryan had been re-
turned
The Standard observes: "It is more
of rebuff for President NDKinley's
executive than for Great Britain. En-
gland cannot possibly accept the Hay
Pauncefote treaty thus amended. and
1t would be insulting to the people and
government of the United States to
assume that they would either re-
nounce the Clayton Bulwer treaty
without offering an equitable equiva-
lent or contemplate the gross illegality
of disregarding it. There will be time
enough to consider the abrogation of
the treaty when Washington formally
tenders suggestion. which would
certainly be approached by Great Brit
ain with every desire to assist the
United States to carry out a project
highly beneficial to American COM
merce, but it cannot be supposed that
We would abandon our treaty rights
without solid consideration in return" :"

REPLIES TO CLAY's SPEECH.

dustry--House Discusses War Tax.
Washington, Dec. 14.-For nearly
three hours yesterday Hanna (O.) ad-
dressed the senate upon the nending
ship subsidy bill. While he had
spoken heretofore on the floor of the
senate, his effort yesterday really was
his first formal speech to the body
since he became member of it. Since
coming tc the senate Hanna has de-
voted much time and labor to the prep
aration of the ship subsidy bill and as.
he isregarded by his colleagues as one
of the best informed public men on the
question. his speech was given un
usually close attention. Senators on
both sides of the chamber remained
in their seats throughout the delivery
Of the address. He spoke without
manuscript. and his delivery at all
times was forcible and intense.
In opening his address. Hanna said
that the remarks of Clay had brought
into question the motives of those who
had assisted in the preparation Of the
pending measure. AS q member of the
committee on commerce, he felt it
his right and duty to explain the work
of those committees. In conclusion.
he said:
For myself, resent the lmputatfon that
any other motive than those of interest in
our country and good public policy actuated
the committees. In my appeal to the Amer
ican people for the re-establishment of the
great; ship building industry, 1 want to put
1t on higher grounds than mere dollars and
cents. 1t is away and beyond that point in
patriotism and pride in our national life.
AS to the popularity or unpopuiarity Of this
measure, stand here to say that every line
Of 1t Is In the interest OF the American peo.
pie, Upon that basis l make my appeal
sar ks Fsssage and leave the question in
;cur ksass.
