With the exception of the Senate feeling in this city is almost universally against the Hay-Pauncefote canal sur render. The IIouso of Representatives is at least five to one against it and tlie public is practically unanimous in its opposition. The attitude of the Senate is most peculiar and hard to under- I stand. Senator Morgan of Alabama, whose whole life has been devotid to a constant warfare in favor o'' building the canal under American gunB, now saysthatfortifications will be of no use and favors the treaty. Ilis is the most striking change of face though there are other senators whose new position iB scarcely less surprising. A recent poll of the Senate showed a two-thirdB vote for the treaty, but the universal opposition of the-newspapers of the country, democratic and repub lican alike, is having it? effect and it is quite probable thatenough may change their mind to defea treaty. The news cabled from London that it is practi cally admitted there that Lord and One lucky thing has developed here within the past week and that is that the ship subsidy bill, which proposed to pay over fortunes to the wealthy Atlantic liners, will be postponed until next session that is until aftir thoelec tion. The popular opposition has been BO strong even to the substitute offered by Mr. Grosvenor that some forty Re publicans have declined to follow their paity in supporting it, and it has been therefore practically decided to let it go over. It was somewhat difficult to ar range for this as the ship line owners refused at first to contribute to the Re publican campaign fund this fall unless they were given the money In the bill, but it is probable that they will yield to the inevitable and contribute, realiz ing that a Republican victory this fall will so intrench that party that its members will risk the anger of their constituencies. At present they are un willing to go home and inform these that they voted for a bill carrying 89, 000,000 in subsidies, largely to old and worn out vessels. The advocates of the bill refuse to accept an amendment providing that no ship shall receive subsidy unless it carries one-half of its tonnage in frolght, as this would furnish little plunder to Mark Hanna's friends although It would at least give to the Blow freight carriers a share in tlie plunder and might poBsibly have re duced freight rates. General Stone, U. S. V., who haB done such splendid work for Porto Rico, is bitterly opposed to the proposition to impose duties on the products of that island when impoited into the United States. He Bays that the inhabitants welcomed our soldiers with open arms and saved us hundreds of lives by their adhesion to our cause during the war. hen our army landed there," heBays, "the firBt thing General Miles did was to issue a proclamation declaring that we came to offer them the blessingB of our government." General Stone thinks th it would now be bad faith to impose duties. Said he "Can we afford to break our solemn promise to theBe people at the outset of our ruleV Shall we give them three-quarters or Bome other fraction of what is due them, and that, not as a right, but as a concession which the next Congress may revoke? If the conscience of the nation could consent to Buch an iniquity, it might still be wise to consider that we may have, any day. to defend that splendid possession against a foreign foe, that it is now the grand outpost and guard over our coaft and commerce anb canal that is to be, and that when such an occasion comes, if our dealings with these people have shown kindness and liberality, or even fairneBB aud common honesty, we might raise fifty thousand fighting Porto Ricans to defend the island against our enemy."
