The British Cabinet Takes Action on
the Senate Amendments.

London, January 1S.-The amend
ed Hay-Pauncefote treaty was discuss-
ed at a p~rotracted cabinet conference
today. The secretary Of state for for
eign affairs, the marquis of L~ansdowne
has taken no action so far. He will
probably embody the result of the de-
alterations in a dispatch or in an inter-
view with the United States ambassa-
dor, Mr.. Joseph E. Choate Monday, or
later.
The exact decision arrived at is
guarded with secrecy. An impression
exists hat the cabinet confined itself
to authorizing Lord Lansdowne to
have further conference with Mr..
Choate. the ines of which naturally
are not given out.
Washington. January ia dispatch
from London dated yesterday says:
There is high authority for the
statement that Lord Pauncefote in
formed the Washington government
months ago that England would not
object to either Notifications of the
waterway or the suspension of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty"
The secretary OF state authorizes the
absolute contradiction of his state
ment- He has never received any such
from Lord Pauncefote nor
from any oEe else.

Republicans of Senate Decide Against
Action Until England's Attitude To-
ward the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty is
Known.

Washington, January 1S.-The repub-
lican senators in caucus today unani-
mously decided to set a day, at least
for the present, for taking UP the Mica
ragua canal bill. After a general ex-
change of views. the senators conclud-
ed that 50 long as Great Britain's at
titude toward the amendments to the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is underlined it
would not be wise or expedient to agi-
tate the question of the construction
of the proposed canal.
This decision was embodied in a reso-
luton presented by Senator Lodge,
who stated that the conclusion as there
set forth was the result of the best de-
alterations of the committee OF order
of business.
Several senators a " notice, how
vel, that in case there should be a
motion to take UP the canal bill they
would not be bound by the resolution
adopted, but would vote for a motion
to consider.
In this expression of independence
Senator Plat, of New York, was the
leader. He said he considered the pro-
posed canal of prime Importance, and
would not refrain from voting to take
1t up whenever a motion to-that effect
is made.
Senators Simon, Foster and Bard fol-
lowed with similar declarations. They
did not, however, express determine
ton to themselves initiate the move
ment in behalf of the canal bill, and it
was suggested that Senator Morgan
could be prevailed upon to allow the
present status to emain.
There was no decision. but consider
able discussion of other questions.
Among these were the ship subsidy
bill, the war revenue reduction bill, the
confirmation of Mr.. Harlan as attor-
ney general of Porto Rico. the ratifica-
ton Of the treaty with Spain for the
acquisition of some Of the Philippine
islands not included in the original
Paris treaty, and the appropriation
bills. Senator Hanna expressed his de-
sire to have the ship subsidy bill passed
upon during the present session, and
said that with the army bill out of the
way he should ash that the decision ar
rived at early in the session to press
the subsidy bill be adhered to. All re-
| ons Were in accord with Mr.. Han
mas request.

deeds were now taking the place Of
mortgages and the present law of the
code contained no provision, after
death Of trustee, for the execution or
foreclosure OF the trust. except by ex-
pensive action to substitute a trustee.
Mr.. Britain opposed the bill on the
ground that an INSCRIPTIONS creditor
would procure himself to be made adj
ministrator for the purpose Of Cypress
ing the debtor.
Mr.. Wright said the bin ought TO
pass. It would take d great many fees
from lawyers. but would be Of benefit
to the people.
Mr.. Baldwin opposed executors or ad-
ministrators handling trust funds.
Mr.. Simms said II a person was I'M
fit the court, on motion. could remove
him. He offered an amendment that
an application for foreclosure OF a
trust must be made in writing by the
creditors. which was accepted.
Mr.. Graham offered to amend by add
ing to h Simms amendment "and
written request of the debtor"
Mr.. Allen, of Wavne. said this
amendment would simply destroy the
bill, because no debtor would eve
writa a request to have himself sold
out @
Mr. Graham lid hts amendment was
to allo~ the debtor to have a say SO az
to who should execute the deed of
trust, just as he had originally when
it was executed.
Mr.. Allen called the previous ques-
ton n Mr.. Graham called for the
ayes and noes on his amendment. The
amendment was defeated. The bill
then passed its second and third read
ingS-ayes, 60; noes. %.
The house adjourned until 10 o'clock

RUSHING INCREASE OF NAVY
Biggest Construction Construct on
Record Closed-Rids tor Six New
Cruisers to be Opened February Ist.

Washington, January 1S.-The board
on nava construction today completed
the revision OF the specifications OF the
battleships. with a view to bringing
their total cost within the figures OF
b bidders.
Admiral O'Neil. the president OF the
board, is preparing the report. which
probably will be submitted tomorrow.
The electric light plants have been re-
tanned in the specifications, but by
making numerous small cuts, and
considerably reducing the fund reserv-
ed from the total cost of the ship or
account of superintendent and inspec-
tion, the desired result has been OBJ
tanned, n President Olcott and Judge
Payson, representing both the Newport
News and Bath Companies. are prepar-
ed to accept the Contract for the ships
on the boards terms. Moran Bros. of
Seattle, already have verbally notified
Secretary Long OF their purpose to ac-
cept the award in their case, so that
although some technicalities remain to
be disposed of in connection with the
contracts, the navy department prac-
tically has concluded the task of allott-
ing the greatest contract for naval
construction work ever let in the his
tory of the American navy. II on
gress adopts the departments sugges-
ton for new construction in the pend
ing naval appropriation bill. and pro-
vides for two more battleships, and two
armored cruisers, it is the purposes OF
h navy department not to prepare
new plans, but to invite bids upon the
plans used for the ships just contract
ed for. In his case, a long step will
be taken towards recovering the ground
lost during the past year and a half in
n effort to secure satisfactory de-
signs for the big ships.
The next step in order in the matter
of construction is the opening of pro-
posals for the building of six protect
ed cruisers of the improved Olympia
type, which will take place on Febru-
airy 1st. These vessels, being of a
smaller pattern than the big ships just
disposed of, it is the expectation Of the
department that some of the smaller
s"hipbuilding concerns, n those new
to the business, who failed to secure
awards for battleshipS and armored
cruisers, may secure contracts within
their abilities, for it is doubtful if the
larger concerns will be in position to
bid low for any of these craft, in view
of the amount of ava work they al
ready have on hand.
