WILL CONSULT SENATE.
Administration Will Proceed More
Cautiously Next Time.

Washington, March 12.-No step has
been taken by either side since the de-
livery of the British note treating of the
Senate amendments to the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, and it is understood that
none will be taken in the immediate fu-
ture.
The treaty expired March 8, and it is
stated positively that at this moment our
government is undecided as to whether or
not it shall attempt to Draw new treaty
with Great Britain. 1t is said that before
anything of this kind is done the admin
istration will take steps to learn the
views of senators and the party lead
ers in Congress. There will be no treaty
submitted to the Senate except upon
pretty clear understanding that it is
strong enough to secure the vote of two
thirds of the body. 1t is said at the State
Department that the British communion
tion submitted yesterday will not be Civ
en- out for publication for the present.
An International Congress.
A suggestion was made to-day that an
international congress- to be held at
Washington, might prove the best means
of harmonizng the differences and bring
ing about a common ground of under
standing. Such a congress, ii was point
ed out, was held to deal with the Suez
canal problem, and out of it grew the Suez
convention which controls the usage of
that waterway. There is reason to be-
lieve that the project of an international
congress at Washington would meet with
favor from several of the European mari
time Powers, which have not, up to this
time, taken prominent part in canal af-
fairs. On the other hand, the idea of
a congress met some opposition when in
formally suggested to-day to diplomatists
who have taken a leading part in the ca
nal negotiations
The Nicaraguan minister, Senior Corea,
said to-day that he had no comment to
make upon the rejection of the amended
Hay -Pauncefote treaty, except to say that
at most was but a temporary check to
the project which was of such impor-
tance to the commerce of the world that
differences would in time be arranged and
the great project realized The minister
regarded the present state of affairs as
a sort of bridge which will Head the way
to a correct solution of the problem, and
he is as hopeful as ever that the actual
work on the waterway will not be long
deferred.

of construction this year.
Under the heading of submarine boats
the admiralty repont says:
Five of the type invented by Holland
have been ordered, the first OF which
should be delivered next autumn. What
the future value of these boats may be
in naval warfare can only be a matter
of conjecture Experiments with these
boats will assist the admiralty in assess
ing their true value The question of their
employment must be studied in all its
developments and their mechanism care
fully watched in this country"
During the year arrangements will be
made with nearly all the great steamship
companies by which their finest vessels
will be held at the disposition of the ad-
miralty for employment as armed cruis-
ers when required. To the lines previous
ly engaged have been added the Orient
Royal Mail and the Pacific companies.

THE BRITISH TARIFF.
Changes FOreshadOwed by Lord
Avebury-The RussO-American
Tariff War Alluded to.

London, March 12-Presiding at the an
nual meeting of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce of the United Kingdom,
which opened to-day, Lord Avebury fore
shadowed changes in the British tariff
and urged the necessity of being prepared
to promote the interests of British com
merce on the termination of the present
treaties. Alterations, he added, were al
ready being considered in the treaties
with Germany, Austria and Portugal
He was greatly interested in the out
come of the tariff war which had sud-
denly broken out between the United
States and Russia. Naturally, he said,
America regarded as a marked bounty
the Russian system of aiding the expor-
tation of the surplus beet sugar. The
whole dispute illustrates the complicated
questions which arose when it was at
tempted to apply protection generally.
AS far as Great Britain was concerned,
she would enter into negotiations, not
wishing to hamper or curtail her COM
merce with her neighbcrs but rather 10
promote it, being convinced that COM
merce benefits both buyers and sellers.
