WASHINGTON Oct s.-There has
been no surrender By England TO the
United States in the matter OF the
70 the best authority here It Is said
10 be equally rue that the United
States has sacrificed no principles in
these negotiations. and the effect OF
contrary statements is deprecated as
likely to seriously jeopardize the
chances OF the contamination OF the
convention which shall finally and
peacefully settle an issue that has
been a source OF danger for the past
fifty years.
II is said that what actually hap
pened is that each side has preserved
the underlying principle of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, and the new con-
vention viii provide for a waterway
neutral at all times and open TO the
commerce OF the world
England Is relieved from the guar
antee. which in her case was only
troublesome. and which. being as
sumed by the United States in toto.
is quite as effective. As viewed from
the American point of view even.
there was no surrender on England
part In seeking this relief. inasmuch
as the aforementioned principle is
reiterated and affirmed as binding up
on the United States.
As for the form of the treaty, II
may be stated that II embodies In
substance the amendments to the
y-Pauncefote treaty which were
signed by the Senate and beyond that
the changes are believed TO be tex
tual rather than substantial.
NEW YORK. Oct. g. a cable TO
Tribune from London says: All re-
ports respecting the new canal treaty
come from America. and the English
press contents itself with printing
them without comment No official
confirmation is obtainable here. There
is no evidence that Lord Lansdowne
has consulted his colleagues on the
subject. and the text of the eonven-
ton win inevitably be submitted to
the Cabinet before negotiations can
be completed The general under
standing in diplomatic circles is that
each Government has carefully con-
s'dered the question and that an
agreement has been reached on pr1n-
ciples rather than phrases.

WASHINGTON. Oct T-As has
been announced before. the canal
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States has been drawn up and
nov only needs the signatures Of
Lord Pauncefote and the Secretary Of
state. and the ratification Of the Sen
ate. The treaty viii be signed In
Washington ia November, and sent
20 the Senate FOR ratification in De
cember.
II is now announced from London
that Ambassador Choate is sailing
for the United States in a few days,
and that be will be In Washington
az the time Of the opening OF Con-
gress I have authority for saying
that Mr.. Choate comes here in order
20 explain 10 the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations the exact con-
dtious under which the treaty was
negotiated. and 10 relate TO the Sen
ators the precise personal attitude
OF the members Of the British Min
istrv toward Il. This course seems
necessary In order that the Senate
NAV understand that In this treaty
England has gone as FAR as she posi-
bly, can toward meeting the just de-
mands OF the United States
with the canal treaty now practi-
caliy out Of the way. attention here
Is centering upon the forthcoming re-
port OF the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion This report. am told today,
viii not be ready for submission to
the President before December l. II
viii be sent TO Congress as soon as
the President receives IL. and will
then be made public for the first time.
I am informed. also that there is a
very strong possibility that the Com
mission will. between now and Dec.
1. receive from the Panama canal
Company an offer to sell that property
10 the United States az a definite fixed
price. and that the price named will
be so low that the commission VIII
recommend to Congress that the Nj
caragl1a route b abandoned. and that
an appropriation be made for the
completion OF the Panama route. as
soon as the Panama Company has
transferred the title TO that route to
the government OF the United States.
n that kind OF report Is made 1t viii
mean that the Panama route will
most likely be selected by Congress.
The commission that Is making the
report was authorized by Congress.
and II can hardly go back Of the re-
port OF its own commission.

to be contemplated, of Viceroy
Chang Chih Tung as plenipoten.iary
in the place Of Ii Hung Chang He
thinks the Ie,.er's advice absolutely
essential although he believes it
might be advisable to appoint third
plenipotensiary for China. and reite-
rates his desire for the appointment
of Sheng, who would be acceptable
to the foreigners
So far as Chang Chih Tungis cor
cereed, the euvoys who know him
personally say that. while he is
strongly anti foreign aud has never
made any secret of bis likes and dis
likes, they believe he would be
satisfactory representative of the
Chinese and there would rot be any
objections to him on the score of his

the ministers think it would be wise
for China to make Chang Chsh Tong
