W,suISGroN. Fob. 7.-For the first time In
tvnuiy.Iour hours the Administrator IL hope
mi to-nlght that tho Hay Paunceiote substi-
,tts for the material article OF the Clayton
BuN,rr treaty has a chance Of success IN the
kopn'o. In the earlier hours Of the day this
hone, which was supreme In the first flush 0'
what the Administration conceived 10
b. a grea, diplomatic victory. had
been practically abandoned by the officials
Of the Government. No attempt was
made TO deny This morning that the
Executive authoriiics regarded the new treaty
a. dead and It WAS "yen admitted frankly IN
some Influential quarters that the earnest
efforts ~ many years had come TO nothing lust
a. the time when they were regarded IA sure
NJ surcess. Senators who talked with the
President In the forenoon had given him any
Thing rxrrpt encouragement as 10 the pros.
r.,t- ~ the agreement IN the Senate. and there
was 10 reason 10 doubt the honesty OF tho
views expressed by these men at the White
House that il could never DO ratified in It's
present shape.
Iare THIS afternoon the administration
heard that the chances for the treaty had been
considerably improved since the meeting OF
the senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

tald that such neutrality. guaranteed not only
BY the United states and Great Britain but 10y
the maritime nations Otthc world. would prove
the best protection to American inter.
ests. and the protection, OF the canal
itself There was no further discussion and tho
committee agreed 10 follow the usual courso
OF referring the treaty To. a subcommittee. |
MesSrS. Davis, Lodge and Morgan were ap-
pointed momhcrS Of The subcommittee. and II |
T. expected that they will report 10 the fun
committee at the next meeting day. That \
favorable report on the treaty will be made Is
the snb-rommittce are now advocates Of the
Canal bill and desire to see the treaty ratified, |
although al least one Of them was Yesterday
confident that the amendment was necessary
