Practice and experience in public affairs
is quite another. but it is the latter which

our State for the past half century will

have been fortunate in our selection. We
have sent strong men to Congress during
all these years. both to the Senate and
the House, and we have returned them
year after year until their experience was
ripe. During all these years for the past
half century Maine has been recognized
as power in Washington. our senators

tions beyond the confines of our own
country and nave many Of them become
famous the world over. and this same
policy, with notifications. has been fol

in office OF State officials. 1t is due to
this line of policy that our State officials
during past years have so performed the
duties pertaining to their Offices that they

Washington, March 20. - Senator
Morgan had a conference with 'secre-
tary Hay yesterday and they dis
cussed for some time the canal cues
ton and the next probable step by
this government.
Secretary Hay is represented as
ready to attempt the negotiation OF a
new treaty, and a prominent emp
of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee yesterday predicted that before
the meeting of congress in December
a new treaty will have been negotiated
with Great Britain which will answer
all the purposes Of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty and which will meet tine
approval Of the senate. The senator
said that he knew England to be al
anxious for the construction OF
Nicaragua canal as was h United
States, and that Lord Pauncefote
thought he was signing a treaty whicn
was entirely acceptable to the senate
when he agreed to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
The refusal of England to accept n
senate amendments to that treaty
were natural. but by getting the ques-
ton back to the stage of negotiation
there would be no trouble about an
agreement, and he believed that q new
treaty would be ready when congress
meets in December.
