NEW CANAL TREATY.
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.
