ending rather than mending the Clayton
llnlwur convention and upon duing this,
moi cover, in an oU'ens'ive way.
The 1 1 r i t i y 1 1 government did not take
thu initiative in opening itcgotitiioiiH for
a ruviHion of the convention of 1850. It
merely ruHponded in n most friendly
spirit to a suggestion from the state de
partment that thu timt) hud eoniti for
adapting an antiiiiuted treaty to altered
conditions in a Hpirit of mutual iireoiii
modatiun and good will. It conceded
everything that was iibked and merely
c tiptilatud that thu Suez principles should
hu applied to any eunul under Ainuriean
control. Thu rejection ot the eonvunlion
will hu considered hh an indication that
the American government does not know
itH own mind and that it dneu not value
thu concessions made in response of itH
own solicitations. Thu adoption of a
(ortilicationa amendmuiit will he the
signal for a strong press agitation liuru
against a departure from .Suez prac
tice, and thu foreign ofliuu will have
thu pillilic support it it declines lo ac
cept thu treaty in a new form. It ie un
derstood in diplomatic circles here that
Lord .Salisbury at thu outset of thu nego
tiations expressed a willingness to Fettle
the canal question if hu could receive an
assurance that thu treaty would have the
support of the senate and that thu vari
ous senators of thu foreign relations com
mittee were consulted In udvanee
whether tl.ey had committed themselves
or not to the treaty.
It ih considered Hingnhr by diplomti
t'lBts here that thu uuuHtion of fortifyintr
thu ends of thu canal should hu rained.
No Kuronean power which is
coaling stations and a naval huso close
at hand can evur menace American con
trol of the canal, and England ie the only
one which in adequately supplied in the
West Indies with these indesponsabte
aeeessorieH for naval warfare. IfAmeii
cmiih iiihlHt upon fortifying thu canal it
must he hecaiiBo they have their eyes on
Tort ISoyal and Santa I.ncia tmd dread
itritlsh interference with the waterway.
Although Lord Salisbury line renounced
in the new treaty the principle of dual
agreement, England, having agreed in
Rood faith, would prefer that the Ameri
caiiH accept this treaty it its original
form.

A. IH. WILLUHS COMPANY
MAY ATTEND THE
YACHT RACE
Prince of Wales or His Son Expected
to Witness the Contest for the
America's Cup.
New Yokk, Dec. 7. A dispatch to
the Journal aud Advertiser from London
fiaj-B :
Either the Priuco of Wales or the
Duke of York will probably attend the
America's cup racea nest August, if po
litiual and aocial conditions at that time
permit. The I'rince would much like to
attend. An intimation haa been con
veyed that if proper official representa
tion be made the I'rince would be pleas
ed to consider them favorably. The
Prince haa become more deeply inter
ested in yachting than ever,, and intendB
going in strongly for it next year, watch
ing the couiee of events in connection
with 1 Jiiton's challenge cloeely. He will
attend the trial races between the two
Shamrocks next Spring, and will prob
ably sail on the mnv boat.
The proper course for Americans to get
the I'rince over is for private diplomatic
negotiations to be conforred on the presi
dent that the l'rince'i! visit would bo
nioflt acceptable and then for the com
modore ol the New York Yacht Club to
invito tho Prince to attend the I'flCOP. If
the Prince should have a royal yacht
at New York ho would witness tho races
on that ; otherwise ou Lipton's Erin. If
conditions prevent the I'rince from goiug, !
the Duke of York, probably, on his way I
home from Australia, via Cauada, may J
go to New Yoik fir the races,
It can he stated authoritatively that
the reports that Lipton is building the'
mysterious yneht on tho Clyde for pre-1
eontntioii to the Prince, aiu untrue. Tho!
Prineo could not accept it, nor would
Liptou make such a present. The Prince
and l.iptou spend three days together
next week at the country house of Sir
Kdwurd l.aweon, where yachting matters
will he discussed.

New Yoiik, Dec. 7. A diepatch to the
Herald from Berlin says:
The Loudon correspondent of theLeip
siger Tugehlatt has received from a high
ly placed personage in Englaud the fol
lowing communication :
"II the Boers should now surrender
England will permit them to create a
new Boer republic in the northern naif
of the Transvaal. It is in order to keep
the possibility of this open that England
has not yet officially announced to the
powers the annexation of the Transvaal.
"One of the first conditions, however,
is that the announcement of surrender
must come from Krnger. There is every
prospect that he will soon bfe inclined to
this course. His visit to Fiance has
taught him that any number o' empty
assurauces of sympathy will not result
iu the slightest practical help. Germany
will make a further contribution to the
education of Mr. Kruger, and it will be
to her alone that the Boers will owe
thanks if England makes them conces
sions." This statement acquires some import
ance by tho fact that the semi-ollicial
Post reproduces it and adds that it does
not sound improbable and that England
has every inteteet to erect a strong bul
wark against the warlike tribes of Cen
tral Africa in order to assure the pos
session of the territory it has just con
quered. Ills l.lfl) Wiih Suvtil.

Mr. H. II. Black, the well-known
blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan
Co.,N. Y., says: "Our little son, five
years old, has always been subject to
croup, aud so had have the attacks been
that we have feared many times that he
would die. We have had the doctor and
used many medicines, but Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance.
It seems to dissolve the tough mucus
and by giving frequent doses when the
thecroupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded croup is cured
before it gets settled." There is no
danger in giving this remedy for it con
