Washington, Jlaich IS. A promlucni

opinion that befoie the moetliiK of con

base been netrotiated with (ileat I'.rlt

meet with the approval of the senate.
Tho senator quoted is one of those who
opposed nny nmr-nclnicul to the Ilny
I'.iuneH'foto treaty, nnd who hoped
earnestly tint it would be uitilled
without chanije. He expects that the
state- depot tinenl will rocoKitlc the
situation al the other end of the ave
nue, and will stilve by pidlmlnnry
consultation with senittots to preiiaro
an Instrument which will satisfy them.
"Then- is really no vitnl point of dif
ference between the two countries," he
avs. "Kngland is ns an-cioiis as the

Useless Amendments.
"The ameiidnients which the m n.uc
pioposed weie list less the Davis

out .saying that In case of war no hos
tile nation would tiy to send a ship
throiiKli tin- canal, to ntt.uk the coast
or fleets of the United .State". That
would be the rankest and must ieck
iess of folly. Tlio senate amendment,

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is ontj
spoken In his criticism of the action
of the senate.
"1 leiriird the aniendnient of the
Hay-Tauneefote tleaty by the Vnltul
.States senate as the wotst political
blunder of the times," he s.iys. "In
my opinion thai tie.uy was the Kreat
