THE provisions of the treaty Just
signed between this country and
Great Britain have not as vet been
given thepublic, but if the dispatches
are true that England has not re-
coded from her position and that the
proposed Isthmian canal is to befor-
ever neutral we could well wish that
the treaty had not been consum-
mated. Americans did hope that
some way would have been found by
which England's self-respect might
have been retained and yet permitted
the United States ofortify and defend
any canal that she may build across
the Isthmus. Without this important
provision it is hardly reasonable to
expect the American people to give
consent to its being built by the gov
eminent. For it to remain forever
neutral would bring down upon our
heads the excavations blooming gen
erations of Americans.

The time for ransom allowed by Miss

how much is not stated. The officials
feel that if the response to the appeals OF
Miss Stones friends do not cease there is
yet reasonable hope for getting the
money in season to save her life.
1t has been suggested that the alb
ductors of Miss Stone are members OF
the old Macedonian committee, actuated
by motives of jealousy and that they are
trying to accomplish the downfull of the
present committee. The Bulgarian Gov
eminent has promised to act vigorously
The u. s. Ambassador, Charlemagne

tottering, if it has not already tum-

dore Schley the shady doings of the

faced. Commander Mark, now in

acknowledging that no communica-
ton had been made to Schley This
telegram was withheld and only
drawn out on Thursday by Mr.. Ray
ner. Yet, with the knowledge in its
possession for nearly two months OF
the failure to impart the informa-
ton to Schley the Navy Department
has been trying to convict the Adj
miral. When the telegram was
asked for and read Capt. Lemly an
nonnced that they would abandon
that attempt. What with the pro-
duction OF downy-lipped fops who are
