NEITHER ENGLAND NOR AMER.
lcA*HAs sAcRlFfcEpTHElR
PRINCIPLES.
THE NEW CANAL TREATY
Underlying Motive Of the Clayton:
BulWer Agreement Preserved-Re.
cent Compact Simply Provides the
Mechanism for Giving 1t Effect-Em-
bodies the Amendments Adopted in
the Senate.

the SENATE.
Washington, Oct. o.-There has
been no surrender by England to the
United States in the matter of the
new isthmian canal treaty, according
to the best authority here It is said
to be equally true that the United
States has sacrificed no principle in
these negotiations and the effect of
contrary statements is deprecated as
likely to jeopardize the chances of the
contamination of the convention
which shall finally and peacefully Set
tie an issue that has been a source of
danger for the past so years.
It is said that what actually has
happened is that each side has pre-
served the underlying principle of the
treaty and the new
convention will provide for a water
way neutral at all times and open to
the commerce of the world. The Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, however drawn
half century ago, has proved to be
defective in mechanism for giving ef-
feet to this purpose. The new treaty
simply provides this mechanism. Eng
land is relieved from the guarantee,
which, in her case, was only trouble,
and which. being assumed by the
United States in toto, is quite as ef-
fective. AS viewed from the Amer
lean point of view even, there was
no surrender on England's part in
seeking this relief, inasmuch as the
above mentioned principle is reiter-
ated and affirmed as binding upon the
United States. AS for the form of the
treaty, it may be stated that it en-
bodies in substance the amendments
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which
were adopted by the senate, and be-
yond that, the changes are believed
to be teXtual rather than substantial.

GIVES DEFENSE ADVANTAGE.
Important Ruling in the DoyIe-Burns
Case at Council Bluffs.

Case at Council Bluffs.
Council Bluffs, a., Oct. 9.-After
hearing the arguments of attorneys
for both sides in the $1,000,OOO mining
case of James Doyle against James
Burns on the admissibility of evidence
touching the relations of Doyle and
Burns prior to the date of the alleged
contract between them, Judge Macy
made ruling which is conceded to
give the defense decided advantage.
The. ruling is to the effect that the
contract, as related in the plaintiffs
petition, comes within the statute of
fraud by reason of it's sweeping char
acter, and that if further evidence shall
show it to be in accordance with the
pleading the court will be justified in
ordering a verdict for the defendant.

0IYcero- Phosphate of Sodium, to Be
Tried at New York Almshouse

New York, Jan. 9.-Preliminary ar
engagements were made today by q ply
sician connected with the almshouse to
give to two old men the glycero-pho
phate of sodium treatment, which is
said to stay to some extent the ravages
of old age. The first injection will be
made tomorrow afternoon. Under the
direction of DR.. Robin, of Paris, Abram
s. Hewitt took this treatment several
years ago, and his physician in this
city stated a few days ago that the
remedy had given apparently the former
mayor a new hold on life.
1t has been well known to physicians
for years that injections OF sodium salts
have a stimulating effect. Particular
attention is called, however, to this fact
by the recent investigation Of Professors
Loeb and IingIe of the University of
Chicago.
Those who have been selected as sub
1ects for the experiments afford fair
examples of the effect Of old age upon
the human system The older, weeping

younger, who has followed an active
life, is more vigorous physically, and
makes a brave show Of walking about
