Hanish disowns his father, and says

Washington, Nov 23.-The charge
made by Charles Stuart Marine be-
fore the Royal United Service insti-
tuition OF London that despite the Hay
Pauncefote treaty the world lis now
faced by a fortified canal, has brought
q defense for the United States and
action by state department officials.
It is pointed out that while the
treaty did not specifically give the
United States the right to fortify the
canal correspondence between the ne
gotiators at the time showed England
conceded the right. The original draft
of the treaty barred fortifIcations but
this was omitted purposely in the final
draft. declares Senator Lodge, adding
the omission, was considered all suf-
fcient.
The fact that the United States nn-
der the treaty is called on to maintain
the neutrality of the canal in war and
peace is deemed sufficient reason for
force to keep neutrality at any
odds.
Now that the United States has be-
come the practical sovereign Of the
canal, said Sir Edward Gray. in a
communication to the United States on
the tolls question, England does not
question the title to exercise beliiger-
ent rights for protection. He added it
was not the intention of his majesty's
government that responsibility for the
protection of the canal should attach
to them in future.
