AN IMPORTANT ARTICLE
The Kentucky Editor Discusses the
Canal ano the Amended Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: An
article written by Henry Watterson Of
the Louisville Courier-Journal on The
Relations of the United States and Eng
land" is attracting much attention
here. 1t is considered an adroit ana
friendly summary of American opinion
respecting the Nicaragua canal and
strong appeal to the Foreign once lor
the acceptance of the Senate amend
ments to the new treaty. Copies of the
article have been sent to Lord Lans-
down. Arthur Balfour, Joseph Cham
berlain and other members of the Cabi-
net and it is hoped that 1T VIII exert
a marked influence in promoting the
settlement of the canal question
The points on which special stress is
laid in this article are the statements
that the Senate has not added anything
Lord Salisbury would not have sane
toned if he had been consulted in ad-
vance by Secretary Hay; that no En-
pIish interests are touched by the
amendments: that Lord Salisbury, by
accepting the revised text, can lay the
foundation of friendship between the
two nations more enduring than any
sons for a better understanding and
working agreement between the United
States and England Colonel Waiter
sons representative character as
Southerner and a Democrat lends great
authority to this expression OF Ameri-
can opinion.
Now that they have had time to
calmly consider the matter, a notice
able change is taking place in the views
of the leading English newspapers with
regard to the Nicaragua canal ques-
ton.
The Telegraph this morning adopts a
distinctly friendly tone. 1t points out
that. after all, so far as the substanc"
of the controversy is concerned, there
is no practical difference. England IS
prepared to recognize Americas claim
to the control of the undertaking so
long as provision is made that the canal
shall be free and open to vessels OF all
nations on terms of entire equality 50
that there shall be no discrimination
against any nation in respect of con
ditions or charges on traff1c or other
wise These two vital principles, re
marks the Telegraph, have not been
touched by the Senate amendments tc
the y-Pauncefote treaty. Summing
up the whole situation. this friendly
newspaper arrives at the decision tha'
il the United States were to press 70:
the formal abrogation of the Clayton
Buiwer treaty in the usual diplomats
manner the British Government would
not prove difficult to deal with.

When the British found that they

dismounted and kept UP a hot fire.
Seeing his men were losing heavily,
Colonel Babington ordered them to re
tire. Subsequently they again ad-
Vanced in extended order and drove
the Beers from their position and cap
tured good part of their convoy. The

reasons For q Divorce.

| The :Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus q man named Soleiman
Attala had a vic. Isbakyeh. The wo-
man frequently worked for us. and on
several occasions had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little. At length l was obliged to
tell Soleiman that owing to his wifes
laziness could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward l went to England.
On my return after couple of
months absence I was surprised to
find that Soleiman had divorced Isbak-
yeh and had already married another
woman. On inquiring from him the
cause of this he replied. your honor
told me that you would not employ my
wife again. so thought l would get
rid CT her and marry another woman
whom you would employ."-Black-
