London, Nov. lg.--Miss Marie Josephins

who was committed October ! in the
Guildhall police court for trial at the Old
Bailey on the charge Of having forged :
100000 pound railroad certificate, and who.
on being arraigned. pleaded guilty, Was
sentenced this morning to six mon.hs im-
prisonment as second class misdemean-
ant.
The recorder, in sentencing Ma East
wick, said he had received documents
from the United Ststes embassy showing
the acscused was mentally, weak. but A.
could not accept that A. a plea, the 4ges-
ton Of sanity being 4 matter for the go

The principal point Of difference between
the new and the failed treaty is the with
drawal of Great Britain from the joint
guarantee of the neutrality Of the canal,
thus leaving the United States the sole
guarantor. The excision of the old pro-
vision respecting the right to fortify the
canal leaves that right by inference OPP
tional with the United States. All conf
merce Of whatever nationality passing
through the canal win fare alike; there
will be no discrimination in rates In favor
Of United States shipping.
Otherwise the new treaty is in scope
similar to last years treaty. It replaces
technically the Clayton Rulwer treaty,
concluded on April 10, 1850. BY the terms
of that old convention the United States
and Great Britain agreed that neither
should seek any advantages in rights oil
transit across the isthmus. BY the new
convention Great Britain yields her right
in favor Of the United States, which ID
thus at liberty to construct a canal.
Nothing more remains to be done as far
az this treaty is concerned before the SEN
ate meets, or, indeed, until the treaty shall
have been ratified, rejected or amended.

Rriganas Reduce Price.

Sofia, Nov. 1.-THE brigands who cap
tured Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka have
reduced the amount Of ransom they de-
mand to 10000 pounds (Turkish). Coin
cident with this intelligence is the in
formation that the leaders Of the band, II
convinced that this is more than Mr..
Dickinson win give. would accept $4,000
pounds.
Even this sum is greatly beyond the
cash at Mr.. Dickinsons disposal. There
fore, unless the captors Of the mission
aries further abate their demands, there
is no hope Of an immediate settlement.
An agent who il in touch with the brig.
ands reports that they recognize they
made mistake in kidnapping Miss Stone.
They would, however, consider it worse
than blunder to release her without an
adequate ransom. as.
There ID NO longer any fear regarding
the brigands' intentions toward the cap
tives. They declare themselves to be not

cause. The majority Of the kidnapera
are peaanuts and farmers. directed BY :

Ambassador Choate,. speech.

New York, Nov. 17.-Ambassadol
Choate was the guest of the Lotus club
recently at a dinner and reception
given in his honor. The keynote of
the speeches was the friendliness ex-
listing between England and America
and the desirability of its continu-
ance. Mr.. ChCate expressed 1t by say
ing that whatever differences that may
arise between the two countries will
be tremendously. honorably and am.
icablv adjusted. He said:
after all that have seen in other
countries 1t seems to me absolutely
clear that the cardinal principle upon
which American institutions rest, the
absolute political equality Of all citi.
zens, with universal suffrage, is the
secret of American success. Intro
dnced by the comprehensive system
o: education which enaules every citi
zen to pursue his calling, it puts the
United States upon that plane of sue
cess which it has reached. It passes
my comprehension how any man car
60 abroad and not return warmer
lever Of the institutions Of his native
land"
Andrew Carnegie followed Mr.
Choate. and referred to the way he
came to be quoted as saying New York
was zone OF the best governed cities
in the world" remark that was
brought in in the recent municipal
campaign. A gentleman reproachei
him for giving SO much money to sc
foul a city as New York. Mr.. Car
negie rejoined: Look at your Lon

TREATY HAS BEEN SIGNED
AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
AMERICA
ENGLAND.
Signed by Secretary Hay for the
United states and Lord Pauncefote
for Enxland-Senate's Objections
OvercOme-Text Kept Secret Until
COngress Meets.

Washington, Nov. l9.-The new Hay
Pauncefote treaty was signed Monday at
1905 by Secretary Hay for the United
States and Lord Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, for Great Britain.
Replaces Old Treaty.
This treaty is intended to replace the
first Hay Pauncefote treaty. That con-
vention was amended SO extensively by
the United States senate at its last ses-
sion that the British government declined
to ratify it, Within few weeks nego-
tiations began afresh between Secretary
Hay and Lord Pauncefote, which have
just resulted in the signature of the new
treaty, drawn with special reference to
the objections found by the senate with
the first treaty.
Text Not Made Public.
| From a due sense of the courtesy which
must be observed toward the United
States senate wherever a treaty is con-
from making public the text of the new
convention, and that will remain secret
until the senate itself shall break the seal
of confidence. 1t is said at the state de-
partment that the various publications
which have been made of the alleged text
of the treaty are all erroneous and con-
jectural, though, in view Of the rather
free admissions which have been made of
the purpose of the negotiations, it has
been possible by the use of the text of
the first treaty to construct one similar
in general terms to the new convention.
