Lord Pauncefote, the Brit ish embassador, has been iidisposed, and his appearance at the state de partInent was q surprise even to the officers there.
 The signatures of the secretary of state and the British embassador were attached to the convention shortly aft CT 12 o'clock. Lord Pauncefote came to the department about five minutes past noon. accompanied by MT. Percy Wyndham, the second secretary of the British embassy.

MT. Wynd ham brought the British copy.
 The ceremony of signing took place at the long table in the diplomatic room, where many other important in- ternational agreements have been per fected.

 s'It is specifically stated that it su- persedes and takes the place of the Clayton-Bulwe treaty.
 .'It gives to the United States power to guarantee the neutrality of the ca nal at all times.
 sIt removes the restriction on the power of the United States to fortify he canal"
