ENGLAND AND THE CANAL TREATY.
Expectation is That the Convention
Will He Returned With Anne DIM n ts.

The expectation here rs that the British
government will return the amended Hay
Pauncefote treaty with amendments Of it's
own, and II is not expected that these Brit
ish amendments will be acceptable to the
United States Senate Whether or not that
expectation is based on advfces from Mr.
Choate or communications from Lord
Pauncefote it is not possible to determine
In either case the communications must
necessarily have been informal in advance
of the action of the British government
itself on the treaty. The officials here say
frankly that they have no knowledge Of
these probable British amendments; SO it
is likely that the opinion that they will be
unacceptable to the Senate is based on
nothing more than general understanding
as to the feeling in the Senate toward the
whole canal project on the one side and on
the other of the broad purpose of the Brit
Ism government to avoid complete aban-
donment of the interests 1t has heretofore
claimed and asserted over fsthmian transit.

THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
I'm Congress Being Com
aldcred.

The reports from Havana that the Cuban
constitution may be completed in time to
be considered ut this session of Congress
have led to discussion In congressional cir
cles as to the procedure likely to be adopt
ed on a document of this character. 1t is
expected that the constitution will be for
warded to the President, and by him SUBJ
mitted to Congress, probably with recon-
mendations In the House of Representa-
tives the understanding prevails that any
action on the subject would be framed by
the insuar committee. But it is not clear
what action, if any, is called for relative
to the constitution of what is held to he
foreign territory, except as it contains pro-
visions regarding the United States. Chair
man Cooper of the inSular committee SAYS
it would not be for Congress to pass upon
or ratify the constitution as ii is or for
the Cubans to do this for themselves. He
thinks 1t probable, however, that a declara-
tory resolution could be framed, expressing
the views of Congress to the sufficiency
of the constitution In insuring a stable and
pacific government for Cuba. and perhaps
laying down the general plan of turning
over the island affairs to the Cubans as
soon as their constitutional system IS put
into practice. In this, however, the pur-
pose would not be so much to pass on the
constitution as to see that the United
States pledges of a pacific government We're
carried out. In case the constitution pro-
vides for an American protectorate or
gives other provisions relating to the
United States. special action might be re-
quired beyond the mere resolution approv-
ing the system proposed.
Chairman Knox OF the committee on ter
ritories expresses the belief that there is
not the slightest chance of advancing the
constitution SO that 1t can be considered a.
this session of Congress. and he expects II
fabian policy by which the Cubans will
slowly perfect their system, and the
United States will gradually determine
upon the ultimate relations which are TO
exist between this country and Cuba

NOVA SCOTIA COAL STRIKE.
12-Per Cent Increase Demanded
From the First of the Year.

The Nova Scotia coal strike is made the
subject of an interesting report TO the De-
partment of State by Commercial Agent
Beutelspacher at Moncton. The miners,
1t Is stated, demanded a II per cent in
crease from the first of the current year,
with a still further raise of their wages of
10 per cent, to take effect the 1st of April
next. Twelve hundred men are on strike
al Thorburn, Westville and Stellarton. and
il is feared that the strike will tie up the
railways connected with the mines and Fer
roma.
Mr. Beutelspacher states that there Is
keen interest felt at Moncton in the absence
of definite news from Cape Breton, for
should the 5000 employees of the Cape Bre-
ton companies be induced to strike aisp a
serious coal famine in Nova Scotia would
undoubtedly ensue. The mines. Ii is stated
have been working to their fullest capacity
for months past and are still behind in their
contracts. Coal for general consumption.
says Mr.. Beutelspacher, has not been so
scarce In the maritime provinces and New
foundland for many years.

ing the national board, and Messrs. Haven
err Irwin. Watkins and Koch, acting Tor

assured fact that the National League Will
officially recognize the revised circuit pro-
posed by the association.
This circuit is Philadelphia. Boston,
Washington and Baltimore, in the east and
Detroit, indianapolis, Louisville and Mil

The only hard objection made against the
original circuit proposed by the promoters
of the new organization was over the
Philadelphia franchise. In that city Col.
Rogers demanded that the new organlzatlon
take the old Athletic Base Ball Association
franchise and play at the league park IN
stead of taking new grounds and forming
a new company with A. II. Keech at the

CHINESE IN HAWAII,
Opinion Rendered by the Attorney

Opinion Rendered by the Attorney
General.
Attorney General Griggs. in an opinion
rendered upon the request of the Secretary
Of the Treasury holds:
F1rst-That person born in the Hawaii
an Islands in 1885 of Chinese parents who
are laborers and taken to China with his
mother in 1890 is entitled to re-enter the
territory OF Hawaii, where his father still
resides.
Second-That the wife and children of a
Chinese person who was naturalized in 1887
IN Hawaii and still resides there are en-
titled to enter, the territory "by virtue Of
the citizenship of the husband and father.
rms opinion is based upon the assumption
that the Chinese persons in question, born
ana hatural1zed. respectively, in the Ha-
Wallan Islands, were in fact citizens Of the

abandoned or lost their rights as such

ILLNESS AMONG OFFICERS.
Sickness In the Army and the Navy
in the Philippines.

Reports from the Philippines indicate a
great deal Of sickness prevailing among
both naval and army officers duty in the
archipelago Long terms of duty In these
islands are likely to impair the most ro-
bust constitutions, according to the views
of army and naval medical officers, and
limitation of duty tours in the Philippines
to a period Of two years Is strongly advo-
Gated That practice was followed by the
Spanish authorities when they were in con-
troll and Is looked upon wise precedent
to adopt. The growing reports Of illness
among our officers on this station will prob
ably induce both the army and naval es-
Establishments to make the term of service
in the islands for their officers but two
years at u time, wherever possible.
