TREATY IS CR1TICISED
Senators Culberson and Bacon Call
Attention to Defects.
NOT AS GOOD AS OLD.
They Assert Several important Safe
Guards Hare Been Omitted-Er.
Choate Has No Intention of
Resigning Just Now.
Washington, Dec. 12.-For 20 min
utes yesterday the senate was occu
pied with routine bustiess and then
went into executive session to consid
er the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
When the senate went into execu
tive session the new Hay-Pauncefote
isthmian canal treaty was taken up.
Senator Culberson spoke briefly in crit
icism of it. He was followed by Sena
tor Bacon, who made a somewhat ex
tended argument against it. Senator
Bacon criticised the treaty as unamer
ican and said it contained many objec
tionable features of the original agree
ment, while it was entirely unsafe
guarded, as the old treaty had been,
by the senate amendments. He said
he would not obstruct ratification of
the new treaty.
Choate Will Nt Reesiga.
Washington, Dec. 12.--Amassador
Choate is not to resign his post at the
court of St. James. It. is true that up
to the time of President MeKinley's
death matters were slowly shaping so
that Mr. Choate would return to this
country to enter the cabinet, and
Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York
Tribune, would be invited to accept
the English mission. How soon these
changes would have come it is impossi
ble, of course, to say.
Mr. Roosevelt was not a party to
the suggestion to Mr. Choato. Whether
he is disposed to carry it out or would
prefer to let matters rest as they now
are .cannot be stated in any authori
tative way.

Washington, Dee. 12.-Senator Mor
gan has introduced his bill providing
for the construction of the Nicaragua

gate appropriation of $180,000,000, of
which $5,000,000 is made immediately
available, and such other amounts as
are needed from time to time.
The control of the canal and of the

Senate'a Exeoutivn Sessio,.
Washington. Dec. 12.-At the sen
ate's executive session Tuesday Senator
Hoar presented the report of the com
mittee on Judiciary recommending the
confirmation of Attorney General Knox.
He made a brief statement referring to
the protests against confirmation as
made by the Anti-trust league, but said
that after giving careful attention to
this representation the committee had
divided to recommend confirmation.
No opposition was voiced, but action
on the nomination was postponel by
common consent. The sencate then tookl
up the Isthmian canal treaty.
Senator Lodge said the new Hay
Pauncefote treaty does away with all
the objectionable features of the treaty
of the last congress. It abrogates the
Clayton-Bulw-er treaty of 1830. which, he
said, had stood constantly in the way
of the construction of an isthmian ca
nal. The altrogation of this treaty, he
contended, was a most important as
complishment and he did not belie-,
that the United States should or would
lose an opportunity to make secure
that concession.

if it was not true that artivle S of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty eta liohihz
the general principleo of n=utral!athio'

Mr. Lodge replied that while thr'
was a declaration to tithe ,cot that tl.
general principle oit netralialion es
tablished by the article is still to 1,2
kept alive. The whole tenor of thi
new treaty was to neutralize ant can
cel the old agreenment. IlI did not con
sider the article would be offs. t any
longer.

statistics for mining, stockraisiug, ag
