MAY REJECT TREATY.
British Foreign Office Said to Oppose
4 Senate Amendments.
NO DECISION REACHED YET.
Some of Lansdowne's Advisers Fa-
vor Taking No Action Whatever,
by which Course the Treaty
Would Lapse of Itself.

London, Jan. 16.-Nicaragua canal
matters have been brought before the
public by an editorial in The Daily Tele-
graph and dispatch from the American
correspondent of the London Times. They
take exactly opposite views. 1t is said
that neither can be taken to represent the
governments views, as these views have
not been formulated.
The conferences so far held between
ambassador Choate and Lord Lans-
6owne have occurred at the suggestion OF
the latter. and were intended to enlighten
Lord Lansdowne on various technicalities
so that he could explain them to the cabi-
net meeting Friday. Until that is held
Great Britains attitude will not be
known.
The United States embassy appears
hopeful of the acceptance of the amend
ments. There is reason to believe, how
ever, that if Lord Lansdownes voice pre-
dominates in the cabinet Great Britain
will reject them.
If the opinion OF the foreign office, as a
department is followed, Great Britain
will either regretfully express her inabil-
ity to comply with the amendments or
fail to take any action whatever in which
case the treaty will lapse of itself.
Views of LansdOwne's Advisers.
Several or Lord Lansdowne's advisers
favor the latter course. Their feelings
can be judged from statement of one of
them, who, replying to a remark that the
canal was not worth row, said:
perhaps not, but it does not do to ap-
ply that principle in every case"
The dispatch of the American CORE
spondent of the London Times is bitter
invocation to Great Britain not TO give
anti-English Americans an opportunity
for exultation over her surrender. 1t
finds a hearty editorial echo in The
Globe. which declares that though Amer
Jeans as a whole are learning to take a
more sober view of the relations with
Great Britain there is still n group of
politicians whose main object is to annoy
and humilate Great Britain"
Various American dispatches refer
pontedly to Washiugton's growing as
sumption that Great Britain will accept
the treaty. According to rumor here
this is largely due to private conversa'
tons with Lord Pauncefote some time
ago. Whatever truth there is in the re
ported conversations with Lord Paunce
fote-and they are not credited at thu
foreign office-it can be said that thu
matter has now gone beyond the phas'
where Lord Pauncefote's views are like
