NICARAGUAN TREATY
WILL NOT BE PRESSED
Other Business Before Senate
Leads to Postponement
of Consideration.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.-Secre-
tary of State Bryan has issued the fol
lowing statement regarding the pend
ing Nicaraguan treaty:
The president has not changed his
views as to the main features of the
Nicaraguan treaty, an outline of which
has been before the Foreign relations
committee of the senate for considera-
tion informally, but, owing to the fact
that the senate's time is occupied with
the tariff and currency bills, further
consideration of the treaty with Mica
ragua, together with a number of other
important matters, will be deferred un-
til the regular session"
The decision of Secretary Bryan to
delay further action on the proposed
Nicaraguan treaty until next winter
met with approval in senate circles to-
day. Members of the foreign relations
committee were well satisfied to let
the entire subject of canal concessions
and the proposed protectorate go over
until the regular session, when more
deliberate action can be taken upon it.
