HELD BACK BY Hay.
Charged With Delaying Accept
ance of Canal Treaty.

New York. Feb. Wv. 7. Stead, IN
dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser
from London says:
1.-THE accession Of King Edward may
lead to a pacific settlement of the Mica
ragua canal question. The king and his
ministers do not wish to begin the new
reign with a wrangle with America
about a question in which no substantial
British interests are involved.
mo serious person cares two straws
for the CIayton-Bulwer treaty, which for
all practical purposes has been for years
as dead as a door nail. 1t is felt that
every consideration of good feeling and
good policy should prompt the ministers
to waive all mere questions OF form ana
procedure in order to begin the new
reign by a signal act Of friendship, dem
onstrating the reality of the ties which
unite the English speaking world
There is reason to believe that the
treaty would be accepted as it STANDS
were it not for representations, which
whether well founded or not, are ac-
cepted as correct that such course
would not be regarded with favor by
Some member or members of President
McKinley's cabinet If Secretary Hay
were to cable to Mr.. Choate authorizing
him to authoritatively contradict the re-
port that any member of the Mckinley
cabinet would regard acceptance of the
amended treaty with displeaSure, the
way would be cleared for the king to
signalize the beginning of his reign by
bringing this controversy to an amicable

proper source Racing scribes all
through the west viii be asked to lend
their aid by uniting in the effort to wipe
out the evils that have developed

Ten-Round Contests.

Milwaukee, wis, Feb. IA bin will
be introduced during the present session
Of the Wisconsin legislature to legalize
ten-round boxing contests, increasing
the number Of rounds from six This
feature win be interesting to Milwaukee
patrons Of the hstic game. as it will
leave an avenue open for the fntroduc-
ton here to some Of the leading fighters
in the west under competent manage
ment.
Assemblyman Karel said today that
there had been considerable agitation
this winter relative TO giving boxing
clubs more leeway than they had here
tofore enjoyed. and for the purpose Of
encouraging the organization Of q box
ing club which would bring to AGilWau-
kee the best talent available, it had been
suggested that ten-round bouts should
be permitted under new regulations,
which win be drawn UP this week and
introduced
He said the fact alone that Chicago
was devoid Of boxing contests would in
dictate that the men who formerly met
in competition in that city could be
secured If ten rounds were permitted
as an addition to the number OF rounds
would be conducive or securing a. larger
attendance at contests than now seems
available
