without any return is strenuously de-
MED on the foregoing grounds.
NOT SURE OF ACCEPTANCE.
What is perhaps more interesting
even imam the reasons Fronting Great
bfllaln TO send over Lord PauncefOte
win MS dlait of a treasury Is the fact
lhat inner circles Of the cabinet are not
nearly so sure Of the acceptance of the
convention as are some leading news
papers on both sides of the water
Nhen the full terms are announced II
v feared mat some members OF the
senate may stili md objections and
mat the forecasts 80 far published, al
leslng TOO sweeping CONCESSIONS on
me part Of Great Britain may have a
deleterlous action. For Instance the
deduction that the proposed treaty in
any way re-ailirms or extends the scope
of the Monroe doctrine meets with d.
rect denial by the foreign office For
these and other reasons Lord Paunce-
fote is not likely to afiix his signature
TO the document until majority Of the
Senate shall have had full opportunity
for studying Great Britaln's PROPOSE.
In the meanwhile there exists here a
species Of indifference and feeling
that, after all. the new treaty may be
plgeOn-holed on account OF some un-
expected senatorial objection, though
this Development would create the Aeen-
est disappointment despite its present
stoical anticipation.
sUEZ CANAL CO.'S HAND.
From diplomatic source there has
lately emanated private rumor that the
Sue2 Canal company Is using financial
and other Influence to prevent an agree
ment being reached in regard to the
Nicaragua canal Il has been further
reported that this powerful corporation
has Joined hands with several leading
American interests alleged TO be OPP
posed TO the construction OF this latter
waterway. The Associated Press learns,
however, that Investigations carried on
here and elsewhere IN which Washing
ton is not an entirely disnterested par
IT, reveal that there Is no evidence OF
such Vaccinations by the .uez Canal
company, though the head OF one OF the
British state departments admltte O.
the Nicaragua canal would probably
rob the Suez canal OF all its far east.
ern trade The British government is
the largest stakeholder in the Suez
canal but II does not appear thai finan.
cial interest ever entered into the dis.
cussions Of the Nicaragua canal, ths
considerations involved therein being
regarded as so paramount to any pos
slble loss Of future dividends from the
Suez Canal company as 70 be unworthy
Of being coupled with the subject, The
actual business 81 the suez Canal com.
pany Is all transacted In Paris. where
the secreiary-general OF the company
said "a a representative OF the Asso.
ciated Press: For us the Panama ana
Nicaraguan projects DO not exist. We
pay absolutely no attention 20 them,
We have never exercised any influence
TO prevent either Of those schemes from
being carried out and We shall never
90 so. We can look forward TO the even.
,ua opening Of either canal with per-
feet equanlmty. as We DO not antici-
pate any appreciable loss OF income
from their competition. We may eyei,
benefit by the general development OF
the traffic that the opening of the canal
across the American isthmus may oc-
cur"
TRADE WILL SEEK NEW ROUTE
II is interesting 20 note that several
English interviews by representatives
of the Associated Press all declared :
that English trade with the far east
whereto, within a few years, the larg-
est tonnage would be speeding must be
found TO take the isthmian route, not
only 10 expedite cargOes, but TO avoid
the palpabe danger Of the Suez route,
which now cOmpels them 10 skirt the
shores Of three nations, France. Spain
and Italy. who by the fall OF the hand
kerchief' might become hostile. These
authorities all assumed without any
reservation, that war between Great
Britain and the United States is an i'm
possibility.
