WILLIAM J MAXWELL LIKELY TO sUC
CEED WALTER B ATTERBURY

William J Maxwell, the Fifth-ave. drygoods
dealer Of the XIth Assembly District, will be the
next chairman OF the Kings County General Re
publican Committee 10 succeed Walter B. After
bury or at least that is what was being tipped
off, by the political wiseacres last night. The
reorganization Of the committee will take place
next Tuesday night, and it is probable that the
new officers Of the executive committee will be
elected the time
Although II seems practically sure that Mr. Max
well will be chosen TO head the County Committee
it was said last night that there several other
men in the field. For the purpose of talking over
the merits Of the various candidates and in order
that there may be fair play all sides, Jacob
Brenner. chairman Of the executive committee, has
called meeting OF that committee for next Sat1r-
day afternoon.
Mr. Brenner viii undoubtedly be chosen to sue
ceed himself. Not a word against him has been
heard in any quarter On the other hand, he has
been most warmly commended for the way he
handled the recent campaign. which has placed him
on a solid footing with the State leaders. Mr..
Bremen is modest and says that he viii give way
TO Mr. Dady If the latter desires TO resume his old
position chairman: but 81 is not thought that Mr.
DaGy VIII 10 do
One the strongest points in favor of the selec-
tion Of Mr.. Maxwell chairman of the Counts
Committee lies in the fact that he is not member
Of the executive committee and has not been in
voved in any Of the factional strfes in that body
AS g member Of the County Committee for several
years he has done good and faithful work
For chairman of the County Committee want
pendent means and time, SO that he may be able 70
take trips TO Washington or Albany, may be
necessary said one Of the committeeman last
night '.All Of these qualifications possessed by

THE NEW CANAL TREATY.
Draft Of the Document Brought by
Lord Pauncefote.

London, Nov. 4-The first official
statement of any kind made for a
month in relation to the Nicaragua
canal has been obtained by the Asso-
ciatei Press. 1t confirms the report
that Lord Pauncefote, the British am
bassador to the United States, when
he lands in New York will have with
him the draft Of new treaty, abrogat-
ing the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. which
is in every particular satisfactory to
Lord Salisbury's cabinet. Since rep
resentatiye Of the Associated Press IN
teryiowed Lord Pauncefote in New
York not one word officially has been
given out here with reference TO the
canal. The state department does not
REQUIRE TO see a copy or the important
document Lord Pauncefote carries IN
order TO learn its terms. though. ON
cially. negotiations will only com
mencc when the ambassador reaches
WAS ashington. Until that time the eX
net conditions Of the new convention
ore withheld. Though it is admitted
that Great Britain has agreed to put
The CLAYTON -Bulwer treaty to one SIDE
and to acqlliesce in the construction on
the cana, BY and under the control OF
tLp United States the concession
from Lord Lansdowne's original lmen
tion has not been granted without real
or ,ancied advantages to Great BRIT

feature Of the protracted pour par

Gcials connected with these ana tht
earlier negotiations said:
1--WE never really objected TO tnt
construction of the canal but We dl'
and do object to a cavalier abrogatlol
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty 1t wa

been approached in a rational, polite
manner and we have again endeavore'
"a substitute for the Clayton-Bulwe
treaty a treaty that will enable Amer

broad sense will doubtless benefit th'
whole world"
