Of the Ishman Canal have been those of his fellow
citizens or of such as have been subjected to British
influences England talks America but acts for ser
self It is again announced that Pauncefote having re-
turned. that he and Hay arrived at satisfactory
conclusion regarding the great enterprise which was so
largely the subject of McKinleys last speech This is
not the first time that these nogoaors have arrived
Mt an understanding this important subject but the
original agreement repudiated by the Senate Of the
United States amendments being read into it which the
British Government would not accept Are we to under

Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefoe have come together
