Lord Pauncefote appeared at the State Department at 12 o'clock and ex- pressed a desire to sign the treaty to-day. as he had been suffering from gout and aid not know ‘when he would be able to visit the department again. The treaty was signed by the Secretary of State and the British Embassador in the presence of Percy Wyndham, second secretary to the British Embassy; Sidney Smith, chief of the Diplomatic Bureau, and two messengers of the State Department. The text of the new treaty will not be made public until submittea to the Sen- ate and the injunction of secrecy has been removed by that body.

The mask is the property of the Federal Government. Next week it will be taken to Washington, where for a time It will be shown to the public at the Smithsonian Institution. It was the express order of the Govern- ment that no photograph of the mask should be taken. It is sald to be one of the most perfect ever taken of a notable person. The mask differs from those of Napoleon or others in that, instead of merely including the face, it portrays practically the entire head. The plaster itself weighs twenty-five pounds.

Several Senators and representative | members of the Foreign Relations Com- mittee “have seen the new treaty. | They, are satisfied with - it and confident it will meet the ap- proval of the Senate and the country. The. forecasts that have been published are in the main correct. * There has been no effort to write a new treaty, but to put into compact form the provisions of | the treaty of last year 'as amended by the Senate. Great Britain would not a cept the Senate amendments, but was not opposed to negotiating a new treaty which would provide for substantially the same things. The substance of the new convention Is that the old Clayton-Bulwer treaty is superseded by one that provides an isth- mian canal, constructed under the auspices of the United States Govern- ment, either directly at Its own cost or in other ways, and this Government en- joys all rights incident to such construc- tion, as well as the exclusive right of providing for the regulation and manage- ment of the canal. This Government alone shall guarantee the neutrality of the canal and the rules incorporated in the treaty of last year are so modifled as to conform to such guarantee. Other powers are not invited to participate in this guarantee, but it is provided that those, powers observing the neutrality ad guaranteed by the United States shall en- joy the same privileges without discrim- ination in tonnage dues, etc. America May Fartify Canal. The prohibition of fortifications does not appear in the new treaty. There is no mention of fortifications, but the United States is conceded the right to protect the canal. These are substantially the principal provisions of the new treaty. Secretary | Hay and Lord Pauncefote have endeav- ored to write a treaty that would em- body all that was in their fogmer treaty after it was amended by the Senate and make the whole a diplomatic agreemént between the two great English-speaking powers, They have smoothed out soms of the expressions of the Senate amend- ments to make them harmonize with the body of the treaty, or to write a conven- tion_that will ‘present the same conditions and remove all friction. Senators who have read the new treaty are satisfied that it meets all the objec- tions raised against the treaty of last year and leaves nothing undone to cause the Senate to hesitate in ratification, Unanimously for Nicaraguan Route.

The report of the canal com- mission is ready, but is withheld for a few days to make a few slight changes in the final recommendations. It will be deliv- ered to the Secretary during the week and the President will transmit it to Congress in the first week of the session. The committee has reached a unanimous agréement upon all important points, and, it is said, has again recommended the Nicaragua route for the canal. It is predicted the new treaty will be ratified before the holiday recess, and there will be a canal bill introduced at the beginning of the session. ————— BRITONS ARE COMPLACENT. Signing of Treaty Arouses Little In- terest in London. LONDON, Nov. 18.—Except as affording a chayce for the opposition journals to attack the Government and the Foreign Secretary, Lord Lansdowne, the signing of the mew isthmian canal convention does not excite strong interest in Great Britain. It is generally admitted that the British have nothing to gain by a reten- tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, while they have much to gain by the construc- tion of the canal. The Morning' Post congratulates both countries on the completion of the treaty, and says it is glad thai the convention of 1900 has been revised :n accordance with American wishes. The Daily Mail fears that the signing may not terminate for- ever a troublesome dJdispute, and believes Canada ought to receive some equivalent for the concessions which probably have been made. The Daily Chronicle says: “Lord Lans- downe has surrendered everything with- out compensation. The Government has climbed down from the position it had deliberately chosen, and although the disappearnce of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty will not cause much regret many people will sigh for ths ‘business Cabinet’ which Lord Rosebery 1¢cently suggested.” In conclusion the Daliy Chronicle char- acterizes the new treaty as a “full ac- ceptance by Great Britain of the Monroe doctrine,” and says: “It would be strange, lnfleod if the Sen- .will have to make to vacant brigadier PRICE FIVE CENTS. 4 ST THE PRESIDENT TITUDE CONCERNING APPOINTMENTS WAR MAY BREAK OUT IN THE UPPER HOUSE EARLY'IN THE SESSION ‘Convention Is Similar to That of Last Year, but Is Made to Include|Roosevelt’s Declaration That He Will Make No Political Promotions in the Army Displeases Lawmakers. Special Dispatch to The Call. ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Friends of the President now é@xpect a conflict between the ex- ecutive branch of the Govern- ment and the Senate unless the present drift is changed. There are experienced observers in Washington who say that a conflict cannot be avoided. One source of the trouble, as announced in The Call yesterday, may be the selec- tion of a chairman of the Senate Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, made vacant by the death of Senator Cushman K. Davis. The rumor that the President is urging the candidacy of Senator Lodge, despite the fact that Senator Cullom of Illinois is entitled to the place by right of seniority, will not down. Should the President take a hand in the contest for designed to help. The plain Intimation was made that the President regarded these importunities as annoying, and the announcement was made that nothing would count but the records of the men under consideration. Some of the Senators who did not be- lieve that the views of the President had been represented accurately, determined to make a test. They called and urged the claims of friends for vacant and cov- eted promotions to brigadier generalships. The President instantly told them that it was useless for them to make any rec- ommendations, because he would go by the merit record, and should any Senator or Representative urge the claims of any particular candidate it would injure his chances for consideration. The state- ment was made so emphatically that the this chairmanship he will stir up a tre- | Senators have felt indignant and are do- mendous storm in the Senate, which re- gards as sacred the right to manage its own affairs—a right with which no Presi- dent has ever heretofore sought to inter- fere. But the principal bone of contention is the appointments which the President generalships in the regular army and army promotions in general. Other ap- pointments may be dragged in and fur- nish fuel to the fire. Blow at Politicians. Secretary Root, at the request of the President, served notice on the politicians on last Saturday that no requests made by them regarding army appointments would be considered by him, and that im- portunities made by members of Con- gress and others would be regarded as Prejudicing the cases of those they were @R THIS BOY’S HEAD ! HOLDS WHEELS Physicians Are Puzzled by the Cass| of a Lad Who Has a Brain That Ticks Like a Clock. Special Dispatch to The Call. SYRACUSE, N ov. 18.—One of the most peculiar cases cver encountered by ing much talking to the effect that the President is Infringing on the rights of the Senate, because appointments are to be made “by and with the advice of Sen- ators.” ‘The position of the President and Secre- tary Root is that all army officers should be taken out of politics, and the way to do it is to adhere strictly to the records in making promotions. In other words, the President is determined that the rule of favoritism in the army shall cease and officers deserving of promotion shall not be-denied because some one else less de- serving has the influence of a few Sen- ators. Stories of a Senatorial combination to “hold up” all of the President’s nomina- tions until he recedes from his present stand are already heard, and no one doubts that the early part of the session will see an attempted revolt against the President like that which made Mr. Cleveland's second term memorable. s L ) Wealthy Woman of Walla Walla Ad- ministers a Terrific Beating Because of a Newspaper Article. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 18—On Walla Walla’s main street to-day Mrs. the medical professfon came up in the Po- lice Court to-day, wier a lad was disco ered who-had a brain that ticked like a | watch.

For six hours phy- | siclans worked over him before he was | restored to consciousness. He is yet fee- ble but will likely recover. There was great rejolcing when the news spread that he had been recovered alivé. Moulter says that all within the mine Thursday night commented on the heaviness of the atmosphére, and that a number of the men left their work ahead of him. He soon found that danger was imminent and along with several others started run- ning from the drift. A heavy report that shook the mountain was heard, and an instant later a huge cloud of smoke and flame was .seen coming. He lost sight of his companions, but he turned into a side room as quickly as possible and was shut off by falling slate. Probably two days passed before he succumbed to the foul air. ———— CALIFORNIA’S CHINESE POPULATION DECREASES Census Returns Show a Falling Off of Nearly Thirty Thousand in Ten Years.
