SOVEREIGNTY AT PANAMA.

II is high time for intelligent persons
who assume to discuss the Application
Of the Hay-Pamccfotp Treaty TO the
question of control If the Panama
Canal and regulation of lis tolls to
recognize what the provisions Of that
treaty really are and in what circllm-
stances they were adopted. ProfcSs"f
Wilson. of Harvard University. is re-
ported as saying in Il lecture at the
University of Paris. France. that the
Hay.Pauncefote Treaty may not meet
present conditions. aS il was drafted
when the Canal Zone WAS foreign ter
''ritory. whereas it is now the property
of the United states The same
statement has been made before.
though scarcely. we should say. by rs
important 40 authority ~ Professor
Wilson
Now. the fact Of history i that tn"
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty was made III
authorization Of the acquisition of the
Canal Zone by the United States and
with the explicit intention of its being
applied TO those new conditions. y
section Of that treaty reads as follows:
II is agreed that no change of terri
torial sovereignty or Of international
relations Of the country or countries
traversed by the aforementioned
canal shall affect the general principle
Of naturalization or the obligations Of
the high contracting parties under the
present treaty.
That section was inserted I'm th"

clared. for the express purpose of ap-
plying TO the acquisition Of the Canal

WHY RE. LEE FREED SLAVES.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Naturally enough you have re-
ferred to Lincolns emancipation procla-
nation, which was announced to take
effect on January | MY years ago. al
though as a matter Of fact the prelim-
mary proclamation Of September %, 1852.

proclamation OF emancipation.
II has occurred to me that it would be
interesting 10 know Just why General
Robert r.. Lee. who was fighting for slav-
cry alexander II. Stephens the Vice
President OF the Confederacy. stated pub
lcly in one Of his speeches that slavery
was the cornerstone Of the Confederacy")
freed his own slaves just fifty years ago.
II was scarcely in compliance with Lin
coins proclamation. Was II to SET an eX-
ample TO other Shareholders. and so make
n concession to European sentiment, which
otherwise would not approve Of the rec
ignition of the Confederacy? or was II
TO show his dissent from Stephenss dec

A FISH STORY.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Noting your little fish story in The
Tribune this morning, | wish TO tell YOU =
real, true fish story which is we'll au-
thenticated.
A fisherman caught seven bass in the
Potomac River above this city at one
time.
This is how he did it: The bass were
caught and strung on a line and kept
swimming i'm the water alongside the
boat When the last FISH was being placed
upon the line the entire bunch slipped
away from the fisherman. But imagine
his wonderment when at his next cast
the last fsh strung upon the line took the
bait and the whole seven were safely
landed.
The gentleman who vouches for this
story 5 without doubt an honest and
truth telling man. !. s. S.

ABUSE OF PARDON POWER.

Dix the more apparent t becomes that
he abused or misused the power given
20 him by the constitution. Seeming

a pardon or Communication Of sentence
for a prisoner. regardless Of the crime,
was to excite the Governors easily

Chapelle and Katie Hicks. notorious

from prison. show that II did not take
much to do that. Representations OF

SUlZER AND SUFFRAGE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your ant-suffrage correspondent
tries to take away at one stroke the credit
OF the suffrage victory and Governor Sulz-
er's honesty, when she strives to weaken
the force of the words he used on the sub
ject OF suffrage. Governor Suffers hon.
esty OF purpose needs no defence. All
who know him know that for more than
twenty-five years he has been a consistent
and fearless advocate Of woman suf-
frage. When my mother. as president OF
the state Suffrage Association in the
years when woman suffrage was not fash
ionable, went TO Albany with the suffrage
bill. she was happy in the encouragement
and help that she received from Mr. Sulz-
