NO SURRENDER MADE BY ENGLAND
Erroneous Impressions About Proposed
New Canal Treaty-PreSiden Pre-
pairing His Message TO
Congress.

Washington, Oct. S.-There has been no
surrender by England to the Uniteo
States in the matter of the new lsthmian
canal treaty, according to the best author
ity here. 1t 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
a. likely seriously to jeOpardize the chan
ces of the consummatiOn Of the conven'
ton which shall finally and peacefully set
Il. an issue that has been a source OF dam
ger for the past fifty years.
1t is said that what actually has hap
pened is that each side has preserved the
underlying principle of the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, and the new convention Will
provide for new waterway, neutral at all
fines and open to the commerce OF the
world. The Clayton Bulwer treaty, how
ever. drawn half century ago, has proved
to be defective in mechanism for giving
effect to this purpose. The new treaty
simply provides this mechanism. En-
gland is relieved from the guarantee
which, in her case, was only troublesome
and which, being assumed by the United
States in toto, is quite as effective. AS
viewed from the American point OF Ylew'
even. there was no surrender on Englands
part in seeking this relief, inasmuch as
the above mentioned principle is reltera'
ted and affirmed as binding upon the
United States. AS for the form OF the
treaty, it iay be stated that 1t emOouieS
in substance, the amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty which were adopted by
the Senate and beyond that, the changes
are believed to be textual rather than sub
stantial.

Washington, Oct 7.-President Rcose'
