WORKING IN PERFECT ACCORD.
Story of Friction Between England and
Germany Denied.

Story Of Friction Between England and
Germany Denied.
London, Jan. 28.-The following
statement was authorized by the Ger
man embassy here:
There is not the slightest truth in
the reports of friction or misunder-
standing between England and Ger
many in regard to Venezuela. Both
governments continue to act in per-
feet harmony and will simultaneously
withdraw the blockade at the earliest
possible moment. 1t is to be regretted
that the house of commons is not in
session, as a question in the house
would doubtless reveal the perfect un-
derstanding which exists between the
two countries. There has been no
disapproval of any kind expressed by
the British government regarding Ger
many's conduct of affairs in connection
with Venezuela. No date has yet been
settled upon for raising the blockade,
but it will cease just as soon as the
representatives of the powers reach a
final agreement with Mr.. Bowen. The
feeling expressed in the press here and
reflected in the cable dispatches from
New York that England finds the Ger
man alliance embarrassing Is in no
way confirmed by the governments
attitude"

NEW CANAL TREATY.
Amount Of Annuity the Only Change
In Document.

Amount Of Annuity the Only Change
In Document.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The Panama
canal treaty, signed Thursday after
noon. Is the same treaty that was
drawn up by this government several
months ago with the single exception
Of the item Of annuity to be paid to
Colombia for the use Of the right of
way for the canal. The amount OF the
annuity is a compromise between the
100000 offered by Secretary Hay and
:he $650,000 demanded by Colombia.
The latter's price was fixed upon what
are asserted to be the present returns
from the Panama Railroad company,
port dues, etc., which she had no desire
to see diminished. The amount fixed
in the treaty by way of compromise,
though not stated by the officials and
persons who have had to do with the
perfection Of the treaty, Is admitted to
have been arrived at from a calcula-
tion of the exact receipts at present
from traffic across the isthmus and
therefore is regarded as only fair to
Colombia At the same time, though
the amount is larger than was at first
offered, it is thought by officials that
the senate undoubtedly will accept the
figure named when it is made clear
that to offer less would be to deprive
Colombia of income she now is &C.
tually receiving.
All other points than this one OF
money compensation remain as they
stood in the original draft of the treaty,
and are completely satisfactory to the
United States government.
The United States will have control
of the canal practically in perpetuity,
as required by the Spooner act; this
result having been attained by the
adoption of a plan for a lease for 100
years, renewable at the pleasure of the
United States, and Colombia having
nothing to say about the extension.
The matters of police and judicial con-
troll are settled by scheme Of joint
action, although it especially is as
sured that no citizen of the United
States will be tried by any other than
his own courts. Control of the waters
of the ports of Colon and Panama Is
vested in the United States just as far
as may be necessary for the complete
operation Of the canal.
