negotiation that are very near to his
heart. For instance, he has, after
the most exhaustive investigc ION
and sounding of senator's, SATISFIED
himself that he has been able to find
q firm foundation on which to erect
another canal treaty to replace the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty that failed,
and one that will be almost ce-'ain
to command the approval of the .en-

fict in the future the misunderstood
ings resulting from the efforts TO ap-
ply the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to the
conditions of to-day. This object is
almost within reach. he feels, aI, fis
friends and intimates here are salts
fled that he will allow no privat. r.
Fiction to interfere with the consrm-
nation of this plan.
II is entirely possible for Secretary
Hay to secure full opportunity to
rest and rccuperate from the blow of
his sons death without sacrificing the
chance of completing the negotiations
for this treaty in season for its sub.
mission TO congress at the next ragu.
lar session. Indeed, he already had
begun to plan for an absence from
Washington from early in July until
about the middle of next fall, and he
might have planned to go away at an
even earlier date had he not desired
to remain at the presidents right
hand until Mrs. McKinley's condition
permitted Of her removal to Canton.
Therefore. it is said at the state de-
partment that there is no good rea-
son why the secretary should return
TO Washington before next fall, by
which time II is confidently expected
he will be able 10 undertake without
sacrifice all of the duties of his Of
fee. In this state of affairs the Of
ficials feel warranted in denying that
there is any foundation for the ru-
mors Of the intended resignation.
The treasury department on Satur-
day had completed the settlement Of
the accounts of Adelhert Hay as
United States consul at Pretoria and
warrants were drawn for Ss,7SS due
him upon settlement by the auditor
for the state and other departments.
The warrants will he forwarded to
the state department and will become
part Of Mr. Hays estate.
