FTHES?NATE "~
?MENOS TREATY.
And Gives the Administra?
tion a Black Eye
Washington. D*c 14 -The senate
.committee on foreign relations today
heid a special meeting and decided ro
recommend" four amendments of the
Hay Pauncefoie treaty
Toe committee adopted ar?, amend
ment suggested by Senator Foraker,
which declares that the Hiy Pauuce
foto treaty supersedes the Claytou
Bulwer treaty and also strikes out of
the Hay Paancefote agreement article
3 which permits the submission of
the Hay Paancefote treaty to the
othei powers and invites their accept
ance of it
Unless amended beyond any de
gree proposed ia the senate by the
responsible 'eav-ers. and resolved into
such form as to make it an absolute
ly discourteous matter to be com
mnnicated, the pending Hay Pauoce
fote treaty will be submitted to the
British government by the president
The comunicaron will be purely j
pro forma, for the administration has
not the slightest idea that the conven
tion will be accepted by the British
government Any expectation that
the action of the senate yesterday
upon the Davis amendment to the
Hay Paancefote treaty would result
ia the immediate retirement of Secre
tary Bay from the cabinet, ie oega
tived by the fact that the secretary
baa not resigned, and according to
bis own statement, will not leave the
cabioet at present.
