Wbea seen last evening and asked
oncntlag hfi imprttwions in regard

sMpreclty treaty. Mr. Smith had the
following to ayt
"There is a very sUsong: feeling la
tne Beet against the re-enactment or
tie Clitaeee occlusion law which
next May. In California and in
thr Western States, the sentiment
.-. to favor of the naetment of the
law.
"Tfce Irapreeetoa which I received
was that the exclusion law would be
rMMftcied. Hut, at the same time,
th re is a stwme opposition to it; and,
rurtber, a vigorous effort will be made
to have certain modifications introduced.
An offort will be made to have
the ripor of the present law somewhat
modllted. For example, an effort will
he made to have sweh distinctions as
that made between aierebams and
bankers romoved.
"An effort will also be made for
sniM provision permitting tho limited
immigration of Chinese for agricultural
purposes.
"r in axtroweJy doubtfnl whothor

to aay portion of the United States in
this matter, if there are any

Mands they will be general and will
affect all parte or the United States
alike. '
"So Jar as the matter of the Cuban

made to Cuba, but to what extent s
Atremely uncertain. However, there
eenas to bo some doubt as to whether

"A troaty implies an agreement or a

Dr. McGrew testified that he
was familiar with the land involved

for the last thirty-eight years. He did
not think the land was worth very
much. There were, portions ot It. he
said, which were not worth more than

worth that because the Government

Doctor valued at ?50 per acre. .
"I don't think there is going to bo
any more boom in sugar' said Dr.

FAYOMBLE TO UNITED STATES
OLD TREATY
IS DONE AWAY
. .
.O'J $ TV
Uncle Sam Is Left Free to Fortify the
Canal If He Should Ever Deem it
Necessary to Do So To Be Exclusively
American
WASHINGTON. Nov, IS. The new
canal treaty oetween the United
States and Great Britain has been
signed. At neon Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncefote. the British
affixed their signatures to the
elaboratelr engrossed document Notwithstanding
the importance of the
event, it was marked by severe simplicity.
Lord Pauncefote, accompanied
by the second Secretary of the
British Embassy, Percy Wyndham, appeared
at the State Department at
midday. They were expected, and at
once were shown into Secretary's
Hay's office. Two parchment copies
of the treaty were ready.
The -signatures of the duly accredit-1
ed representatives of the two great
power.4 were at once placed upon the
scrolls. Secretary Hay signed first
the copy which Is to go to London, and
Embassador Pauncefo'te was the first
to sign the copy which is to go into
the archives of the State Department
As soon as the signatures and 6eals
had been affixed Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncefote shook hands' and exchanged
congratulations., . Lord
Pauncefote carefully placed his -copy
of the precious document in a big envelope,
and holding this in his hand
took his carriage for the Embassy.
The terms of the treaty will not be
officially made public until sent to the
Senate, but the yellow journal repre?
sentatlves have failed ludicrously In
guessing at them. -' -
,H the. concessions were
Great Brltainr and they were made
pilmarily because the English statesmen
are ever willing to go as far as
propriety will permit In winning the
friendly regard of the people of the
great Western Republic. This spirit
was supported for the most part by
the generous and broad-minded press
in England, which, with a few exceptions,
commended the new policy of
their Government on the sensible
ground that if the Americans were
going to put their hundreds of millions
into the isthmian canal it was for the
Americans, and not anyone else to
control It in peace or war, without
subjection to reservations or ancient
treaty rights of any outside parties.
An authentic summary of the
treaty's terms may be classified under
six heads as follows:
1 It abrogates or supersedes the
old Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and thus
puts an" end to the copartnership between
the United States and Great
Britain in the proposed isthmian canal
provided for by that instrument
2 Declares that the United States
is free to proceed to the construction
of such canal.
3 That this canal "is to be neutral
in time of peace, open to the ships of
all nations, and thatIts nmtrjility is
guaranteed by the United States alone
4 That in time of war the United
States may take such steps for the
protection of the canal and its own interests
as it may deem proper.
5 That the United States may
make such rules and regulations concerning
the use of the canal as it sees
fit, save-that the United States agrees
not to levy discriminative tolls upon
the shipping of Great Britain.
6 In case of a change of
In the isthmus the stipulation
which the United States has entered
Into as to the neutralization in time
of peace and nondiscriminative tolls
shall not be altered.
In the first treaty
the adherence of other maritime powers
was to be invited. That has ben
dropped from the new treaty. la the
first treatv it was stipulated that the
canal should not be fortified. That has
hpon drenned from the new treatv.
and consequently the United States is-
free to do as it likes with trie canai
to fortify it or to close it to Its ene.
mies.
In other words, the new treaty removes
the old partnership or joint
guarantee arrangement and stipulates
for the United States freedom to no
3head with the construction of the
canal, which shall he as fuHr under
American control as If It were located
upon the soil of the United States,
with the single exception that the
principle of n time
of peace and placing the canal at in-service

care to nse it an pex the tollsl exactly

poller as la'd down bv the SJiato li

- -
few ;
mast permit the ships of its enemies
to pass through the channel were
features which the public andSenate
objected to, and which have bee-omitted
from the new treaty.
Nothing more remains to be' done
33 far as this treaty is concerned before
the Senate meets, or,
the treaty shall have bce ratified,
rejected or referred. If it shall be
ratified the State Department will
proceed immediately to negotiate the
treaties with Costa Rica and
for which it already as
in protocols pending before the
Senate, -which will permit tbecana!
to be constructed and prescribe the
terms upon which the consent of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica Js'given.
It was in anticipation of this "action
it is presumed, that the Nicarasua"
Government only recently denouncd
the treaty of trade and commerce with
the United States. This treaty contained
sections conveying; rights ps to
canal construction, which are to bs
replaced by more modern provisions.
BRITISH COMMENT OX
THE HEW AGREEMENT
LONDON. Nov. 19 Except as affording
a chance for the" opposition
journals to attack the -Government
and the Foreign Secretary, Lord
the signing of new isthmian
canal convention does not excite
strong interest in Great Britain.
It is generally admitted that the British
have nothing to gain br a retenr
ticn of the Clayton-Bulwer treatv.
while they haves much to gain by the
construction of the canal. .
The Morning Post congratulates
both countries on the comDlPtion of
the treatv. and savs it is .glad that the
convention of 1900 has been revised in
accordance with American wishes.
The Dally Mall feais that the signing
may not determine forever a troublesome
dispute, and thinks Canada
ought to receive some equivalent for
the concessions which probably have
been made.
The Dally Chronicle savs: "Lord
Lansdowne has surrendered
without compensation. The
Government has climbed down from
the position it had deliberately chosen,
and. although the disappearance cf
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty will not
cause much regret manv people wi'l
sigh for the 'business cabinet' which
Lord Roseberyrecently -suggested."
In conclusion tlie"Dai' Chronicle
characterizes the neWitreJtv as a
byj Great Britain of th
Monroe doctrine," and savs. "It wo'ild
be strange indeed if the Senate should
object to such a bargain."
The Times says: "It nremiure
to assume that all dlntcufties hve
uQen overcome, 'and that the Snat
bitKn!an:Lhn5
no reason to regard Uhj 'construction
of the canal with alarm or suso'cion
We hope the treaty will be dalt with
by our American kinsmen in the same
spirit of international good will with
which it certainly will be received in
London."
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE IN
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH SYSTEM
Great improvements are to
be at once made in the wire-
less telegraph system in these
Islands. New and far better
apparatus is to be installed at
the different stations and the
extension of the system to
Kauai is in immediate prospect
A more prompt and satisfactory
service all over is
promised.
F. J. Cross, manager of the
cempany, who returned
from the East, spent several
weeks In investicating the
latest and best apparatus, with
the result that he bel'eves he
now has everything that cou"d
be desired for the pef'ction rf
the local system. He brought
out the aew material with h'm
"There will be a meeting of
the stockholders in a.fw
davs," said Mr- Cross, "at
which the extension of the system
to Kauai and numerous
other matters w'll b? diseased.
I feel safe in saving that
very shortly a perfert - service

NEW YORK. Nov. 19. The Commercial
Pacific Cable Co.. recently L
orcanized for the purpose of con
structing and maintaining a cable
across the Pacific Ocean, and of which
John W. Mackay is president, today
awarded the contract for the manufacture
and laying of the first section
of the great submarine strand to the
Sllverton Cable Manufacturing Company,
of Sllverton, near London. The
cost of making and laying this section
is estimated at about $3,000,000.
The section will reach from San Francisco
to some central point In the Ha
waiian Islands, probably at Honolulu,
and it is expected will be completed
about the first of January. 1903.
to
The Silverton Company will commence
the work of construction immediately
and will have the work finished
about the first of next July. The
cable will then be loaded on board
ship and it will be three months before
it reaches San Francisco, the starting
point of Its journey across the Pacific,
The actual work of laying the cable
will consume about seventeen days,
and? with the'addTtional time for establishing
the stations and allowing
for possible. mishaps, itwill be ready
for service in two"months after Its arrival
here.
George G. Ward, first vice president
of the Commercial Cable Company,
saidtpdav"m
has assured us' they
will complete the cable and have 't
here inven months. Just as soon
as thi3 section is complete and out of
tho way we work on
another section that will connect the
Hawaiian Islands with the Philippines.
Our station there will probably be on
the island of Luzon, near Manila. Wc
have not decided on that point yet,
nor have we fixed our schedule of
rates, but we shall reduce them to a
reasonable figure. We expect to have
the work completed in about two br
three years. The estimated cost of
the undertaking is about $15,000,000.
but we have capitalized our company
at only $3,000,000, because we prefer
to increase our capitalization as we
"
proceed." -
Ward said it was expected that tho
new cable would allow the
sion of messages in nearly four hours
less time than required at the present
