Active Negotiations in Process Be tween United Staiea nj Great Britain. NEW YOKK. April It A special to the Herald from Washington says: Active negotiations are in progress be tween the United States and Great Britain relative to the isthmian canal treaty. If It can be accomplished. Sec retary Hay and Lord Pauncefoie will arrange a draft of the treaty before the departure of President McKinley and his cabinet on their Western trip the Matter part of this month. It seems to be the impression, nowever. that the matter will not be determined within that time, but that when Lord Paunee fote sails for England In June he will take with him the draft agreed upon with Secretary Hay. Jmt how far the negotiations have proceeded cannot be ascertained, but enough Is known to Indicate that the administration is confident a convention will be signed which will receive the approval of the senate, although per haps not -without a struggle. The ba sis or negotiation has been agreed up on and an active interchange of views has occurred. GreU Britain has shown a disposi tion to supersede the Cliyton-Bulwer treaty. It is maid by reliable authority, but as a condition she desires the In sertion of articles specifically reiterat ing the prohibitions against occupation, colonization or assumption of any do ininion whatever over anylpart of Central America by either the United States or Great Britain, as set forth in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Great Britain considers the senate amendment w hich reserves to the Unit ed States the right of taking any meas ures it may find necessary to secure by its own forces the defense of the United States of greater importance than the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty. The amendment is alto gether too vague and she would prefer that the United States be more spe cific. She also favors The observance of the general principle of neutrality as set forth in article three of the ori ginal Hay-Paun?efute treaty, which was stricken out by the senate; There Is a disposition in quarters not Immediately connoted with the nego tiations to believe that Great Britain is leading up to the submission of a proposition that In return for an abro gation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty this government will make concessions In Alaska. There have been frequent rumors of this character but It can be stated emphatically that the president and Secretary Hay will under no cir cumstances alienate one foot of Amer can territory and such a proposition If submitted will be immediately re jected. ENGLAND ALSO HAS TRUSTS. Effort to Prove Them a Product of Pro tection Is an Utter Failure. NEW YORK, April 12. Robert P. Porter. Who arrived from London on the Deutsehland, .'.peaking of English trade prospects, said:. ''The principal Industrial talk In Eng land during my present visit centeis around the great steel combination which has appalled the British manu facturers. However, John Bull will do his best to keep up with the keener Pears' It is a wonderful soap that takes hold quick and does no harm. No harm ! It leaves the skin soft like a baby's; no alkali in it, nothing but soap. The harm is done by alkali. Still more harm is done by not washing. So, bad soap is better than none. What is bad soap?

The comment has taken the course that such trusts are only nosslble with a high tariff, a somewhat amusing conclusion when one considers how honeycombed free trade England i with combinations of eipltnl as for midable and s:rong in contiolling trad-' as any in the United States. "To begin with the entire railway Industry of the United Kingdom is on.1 gigantic combination, all rat- being the ame and the center of fiscal manage ment Is the clearing house. Then, tite banking.

"Turning from these basic instru ments of commerce to industrial trusts, we find about 300.000.0rt0 dollars of cap ital concentrated in some leceiitly form ed trusts, while the older combinations represent literally billions of dollars. Yes. in England you will find in all lines of industrial enterprise the very same trusis as in the United States. Consul Mason, of Berlin, recently show ed the same of Germany.
