advanced state Of progress. II was a
matter Of comment IN Washington in
the spring that Secretary Hay should
be so exceedingly prompt 10 ascertain
what sort OF treaty the American Sen
ate would ratify. and then follow that
up with an informal note to the Brit
ish government. laying down the lines
on which the United States stood viii
ling 20 negotiate a new treaty. Il is
now learned that this promptness was
largely due TO the suggestion Of the
British ambassador. who was anxious
that before he left Washington for
England new negotiations for treaty
should have been started and a general
understanding reached as to the kind
Of treaty the two governments we're
willing 10 enter into.
The note OF Secretary Hay to the
British government. which was writ

an outline Of the objections raised TO
the Hay Pauneefote treaty by the
American Senate and also an outline
OF the clauses which, II incorporated
into the new treaty. would satisfac-
torily meet those objections and be
reasonably certain OF meeting the APP

London Il was considered at the meet

Il is expected that by the time his
leave expires a new canal treaty will
have been drawn. and the principal
reason for the extension OF his last
term IN Washington having been met

n short trip.
II is asserted in diplomatic circles
here that so far settled is Il that Lord
Pauncefote will not return here that
the British government already has
commenced consideration as TO hts
successor. F. :. l..
