Great Britain Objects an the Canal Trssy
Amendments OF the Usissd
states senate.

Washington, March la.-Io,d
Paunce fote. British Ambassador, form
ally communicated TO Secretar, LAY
yesterday an instruction from his GOV.
eminent rejecting in toto the sena,s
amendments to the isthmian canal
treaty.
The British reply is such as to leave
no doubt that Great Britain regard,
the Clayton Bulwer treaty as in fun
force and effect, and holds. that. Nm.
der its provisions, the United State,
can not, without her consent, build
canal across the isthinus of Central
America.
Yet the president aud Secretary
Hay, by the terms of the reply. are
given an opportunity TO reopen nego
tiatons which may result in a treaty
satisfactory to the executive and sen
ate and the British government.
The note specifically states tia,
Great Britain hopes, notwi outstanding
her action on the amendments. that
the two governments will be able 10
reach . satisfactory agreement.
Accepting this as direct intima
tion Of the willingness Of Great Brit
ain to resume negotiations. Secretary
Hay is expected 10 soon submit nes
proposals to Lord Pauncefote. using
the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty as
the basis, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that before Lord Pauncefote
leaves the United States in June for
short rest the aegotiations will br
well along toward completion.
No counter proposals are made. The
negotiation of the Hay Paunce fote
treaty shows beyond question that
Great Britain holds the Clayton BuL
wer convention TO ne in full force
Occupying this position, she is now
able to say to the United States: Yes,
we are willing to negotiate a treaty
amendatory of the Clayton-Buiwer
convention and give you what voa
want, but we must have return Tor
It."
The United States does not propose
to make any concessions to Great
Britain. 1t was explained before that
there are three positions, any one u
Shich the United States can assume.
Secretary Hay Will now formulate
proposals TO reconcile the differences
between the senate and the British
government. There is no doubt that
tho president and Mr.. Hay have ~
ready given this subject consideratioa,
but what conclusions have DerH
reached none OF the officials viii ~ar
