The interview yesterday OF Senior
Silya, the Colombian Minister, In De-
half of the Panama Canal with the Sec
retary of State, was probably RESPONSE
BILE for the calls today of Seniors Corea
and Calvo, representing Nicaragua and
| Costa Rics respectively, the two coun-
tries that desire the Nicaraguan route
for the canal adopted. Minister Corea
said it was not possible for bis country
IN enter into new negotiations with the
United States to give this country ex'
elusive control of the territory upon
which to construct a canal until after O
| new agreement had been made with
Great Britain for the amendment OF the
CLAYTON Bulwer treaty or until Con-
gress had acted by a0rogating that
treaty. He said that he doubted
whether Nicaragua would be willing
to make any new agreement with
the United States on basis diner
ept from that outlined in the hay
| Pauncefote treaty. That treaty was
emipently satisfactory to Nicaragua in
asmuch as it provided for the absolute
neutrality of the canal. But 1t having
been rejected, it would be necessary to
wait and see what the new proposition
would be before he could tell the prob
able attitude of his government towards
| it, Senators Frye and Cullom, OF the
Senate committee on foreign relations,
also talked with Secretary Hay today
on the subject of the canal and the
future treaty with Great Britain. Both
of them expressed the opinion that q
pew treaty would be negotiated and
Senator Frye said that he thought the
sentiment OF a good many Senators had
changed on the subject since they had
voted for the amendments to the Hay
PauDcefote treaty.
Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambas-
sador, in the course of long conference
today with Secretary Hay, completed

reciprocity treaties between the United
States and Bermuda, Jamaica, Turks
Island, Trinidad, and Barbados. Inc
document will be signed later today
and will extend the time until Septem'
Der 26, 1902.

Not long ago a New York society
iournal, commenting on the broken en-
esgemeut OF Lieutenant Edie and Miss
Paulding, Senator Depew's niece, de-
clared that the real reason for the
breach might be found in the desire oil
the Senator to marry Miss Paulding
himself, this being possible, as Miss
Paulding is not really his niece, but a
niece of his late wife. Now the rumor
has become the renewed topic OF local
gossip, some going 80 far as to say that
there will be a quiet wedding in Wash
| inoton before the Senator's departure
| to Aiken, s. c., slated for next week,
when Miss Panlding Is to accompany
him as his wife. Senator Depew was
asked about the truth of the rumor to.
day sitter his call to the White House.
He did not seem offended; on the con-
trary, laughed boyish laugh. But be
would say nothing. II can't discuss
that sort OF story, you know" he said.
