v,epts-BeIieve That a Satisfactory
..rangement Can be Arrived at.
1xIuAscertain Views of the Sem
.te Before Committing Themselves
Aeain, However.
london. March s-The reply of the Brit
,.b government to the note conveying the
amendments of the United States Senate
.o the Hay-Pauncefote treaty should be
formally delivered by the British ambas-
sador at Washington to Secretary Hay
u,ithin few days. The foreign office
here did not originally contemplate delay
ing the British reply until now. The
rlan appears to have been to transmit the
answer previous to the date on which the
treaty lapsed, which. according to the
British view of the case, would have put
the onus of its lapsing on the Senate. AS
previously set forth In these dispatches,
the main object of the British government
throughout has been to make an entirely
new arrangement. At no stage of the
proceedings has there been any inclina-
,on to accept the Senate's amendments.
1t is understood here that the nature of
the British governments reply has al
ready been informally communicated to
Secretary Hay Great Britain has no in
tention of modifying or abrogating the
Clayton Bulwer treaty without a satisfac-
tory quid pro quo That treaty, accord
ing 10 the foreign Office view of the case.
remains as much in force now
as the day it wac signed. The
speeches made in the Senate do not
disturb Downing street They are dis
missed with the remark that treaties
cannot be abrogated without the consent
Of both the contracting parties. There Is.
however, an apparently genuine belief
here that satisfactory arrangement will
eventually be arrived at, though 1t is
sacrcely thought it could be got into the
requisite shape in time for discussion at
the extra session of the Senate. More
over, there is q freely expressed disin-
clination on the part of the British Off
cials to commit themselves to any further
treaties until they are thoroughly assured
Of the views the Senate holds on the mat
ter in question.

Mr.. KASSON RESIGNS.
Administration Will Make New
Effort to Ratify the Treaties.

Washington, March 9.-The resignation
of Mr.. Kasson as special plehipotentiary
charged with the negotiation of reciproc-
ty treaties and arrangements, was placed
in the hands of the President by Mr.. Kas-
son before he left Washington for Flor
ida yesterday. The President has with
held his acceptance, strongly urging Mr..
Kasson to remain in the service of the
government and the matter is still in
allegiance.
While it is true that the action taken
yesterday looking to the extension of the
period of time within which the French
reciprocity treaty may be ratified was
at the instance OK the French govern
ment, and our government could not of
course afford to disregard a request of
that kind, 1t is also true that 1t marks a
determination on the part OF the admin
istration to renew the effort to carry
some reciprocity treaties into being at
the earliest opportune moment

P0NSONBY-FANE HONORED.
King Edward Presents Him with
the Cane which His Mother
Used for Thirty Years.

London, March 9.-The King has be-
slowed an unusual token of recognition Of
services upon Sir Spencer Cecil Brabason
Ponsonby-Fane, a lifelong officer of Queen
Victorias household. The recipient of the
Kings favor, who is broken down by old
age and is retiring to private life, was
summoned to Marlborough House, where
the King in few simple phrases of
thanks for his loyalty to his mother, pre-
sented him with the cane with which
Queen Victoria walked for thirty years.
The old mans relatives say that if the
King had raised him to dukedom he
could not so have kindied his pride or
touched his heart.
