OFFICIAL SIGNATURES Secretary Hay Accepts It for United States Lord Pauncefote Attaches Signature for England Commis sion Favor Nicaragua Route The Document Replaces the First Hoy Fauncefolc Compact. By llxduslte Wire from The Associated Pre. Washington, Nov. 1$. The new Tlay Pauticefote treaty was signed today at 11M o'clock by Secretary Hay for tho Vnlteil States ami Lord Pnunrefole, the F.iillsh ambassador, for Grout r.rllain. This treaty Is intruded to replace the first Iluy-Pauneefoto tri'aty. That cun veiitiun was amended so extensively by tliu 1'nited States senate at Ha last session that tin? Hritlsh government declined to ratify It. Within n few veto, negotiations began afresh be tween Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote, which have just resulted In the signature of the new treaty, drawn with special reference to the objections found by the senate with the 11 rut treaty. From a due sense of the eonrtesy uhic.li must be obserxed towards the United States senate wherever a treaty is concerned, the stale department is stopped from mak ing public the text of the convention, and that will remain a secret until the senate itself shall break the seal of conlldciice. It Is said at tile state de partment ' that the various publica tions which have been made of the nl kgei text of the treaty are all erron eous and conjectural, though in view of the rather free admissions that have been made of the purposes of the ne Koliators, it has been possible by the use of the text of the first treaty to toiiKlruet one similar in general terms t the new convention. The principal point of difference be ween tlir lew and the failed treaty i the ...'drawal of Oreat Britain rum the .joint guarantee of the nou .rality of the canal, thus !ealii(,- the ilnited States the solo guarantor. The excision of the old provision respecting the rlKht to fortify the eanul leaves '.hat right by inference optional with he United States. -Ml commerce of whatever nationality passing through the canal will fare alike: then, will be no discrimination In rates in lavor of t nlted States shipping. Replaces Clayton-Buhver Treaty. Otherwise the new treaty is in scope similar to last year's treaty. It re places technically the Clayton-liulwer treaty, concluded on April I'.i, 1S5D. liy the terms of that old convention the United States and tlieat liritain agreed that neither should f-eek any advantage in rights of transit acioss the isthmus. 3iy the new convention Great liritain yields her rights in favor of the United States, which is thus at liberty to con struct a canal. Nothing more remains to be done as far as this treaty is con cerned befoie the senate meets or In deed, until the treaty shall have been ratified, rejected or amended. If it should be ratified the stale department will proceed immediately to negotiate th" treaties with Costa liiea and Nic aragua for which It already has ar ranged In protocols pending before the senate which will permit the canal to Ik constructed and prescribe the terms upon which the consent of Nicaragua and Costa lile.i is ;lven, it uns in anticipation of th's action, it Is pre sumed, that the Nlearacuan govern llli nt only recently denounced the 'rruiy of trade ami commerce with this United Slates. This treaty contained sections conveying lights as to canal construction, wlileh are to bo replaced by more modern provisions. There was no particular ceremony oiineeted with the signing today of tin- Important convention, Lord I'auiicel'ote had been Indisposed for several days past and It was .not ex pected that the tp.aty could be signed bfore the ml of the current week. However, to the surprise of the state depnrtliK'Ut otllelals, the ambassador appeared at the department about noon mid the work of signing tlm treaty was soon dispatched. The scene was the historic diplomatic chamber of the state department, and beside the principals, Secretary liny and Lord I'iiuiieefote, there were present Mr. .Sidney Smith, chief of the diplomatic bureau of the state iloparltneul: .Mr. Terry Wyndlmni, the second secretary of the Hritlsh embassy, and William Gwln and IMward Savoy, th- secretary of state's private messengers, whoso dutv it was to attend to the alllxlng u( the seals.

HORSE SHOW IS OPENED New York's Great Autumnal Societtj Event Inaiiflurated Under Favorable Auspices. MOST BRILLIANT EVENT The Big Amphitheatre of Madison Square Garden Becomes a Bower of Beauty All the Fashionable People Present and Every Box Is Filled Dr. J. L. Wentz, of Scran ton, Among- the Prize Winners. Br Kxcltnive Wiie tiom The Asforiattil Pirn New York, Nov. IS. The seventeenth exhibit of the National Horse Show Association opened this morning at Jlndlson Square CJardeii under auspices and conditions that promise to make it one of the most brilliant and suc cessful shows in the career of the or ganisation. The big amphitheatre, with Its familiar arena of taubark, in tho centre of which stood the judges' stand, its festoons of orange and black and other customary horse show limp ings, presented precisely tho same scene that lovers of the horse look forward to each year with the same, If not an increasing, degree of inter est and enthusiasm. There was but a small gathering of horsemen present when the call of the bugle at It o'clock sounded the formal opening of the function, but within :i minute the tanbark oval presented n scene that did good to the hearts of those present, to witness it. In through the gates poured the stars of the mng nlliennt collection of animals now as sembled at the Oarden, the perfectly groomed and mettlesome beauties seeming to feel that for the present week at least they were to be the ob served of all obsrvers. As they cir cled about In an endless procession, led or guided by their grooms, the pic ture was a thrilling one. High step ping hackneys and other breeds of harness horses, with arched necks, dis tended nostrils, disdainful eyes and glistening coats spurned the tanbark, as though Impatient at the restraining hands of their grooms; trotters, thor oughbreds, nadille horses, jumpers, polo and harness ponies mingled ai'nl commingled in the ring, which re sounded with their neighing and tliu calls of the grooms anil handlers, while at tho Fourth avenue end of the build ing the hoofs of many others pounded and thundered upon the board flooring as they came up from their stalls to join the prancing throng in the ring. It was an inspiring sight, as is always the Inaugural parade of high-priced horsellesh at the annual Horse Show. As the classes judged this morning were principally saddle horses, hunters, roadsters and thoroughbreds, the spei -tutors present this forenoon was large ly of this class of exhibitors. Uromptly at 10 o'clock Colonel Do Laneey Kane and the Hon. (Jeurge Peabody Wet more, constituting; the ring committee for the opening day, took their posi tions near tho judges' stand, and Messrs. John K. Cowdin, A. D. Dun can and .lames K. Jliuldux, judges of the hunting and jumping classes, pre pared to receive class lni). In which there were a score or more of horses suitable to become hunters. At JO. I." these entered the ring, and the work of llie seventeenth annual show of the National Horse.

ATROCIOUS CRIMES OF FILIPINOS Francesco Brganza, Will Be Pun ished for the Wanton Murder of Helpless Spanish Prisoners. By Kw-l-i-iic W'iif from The Associated l'ifss. Washington, Nov. IS. The records of a score or more of court martial trials of Filipinos charged with murder and othui crimes have been received at the war department from the Philip pines. Probably the most interesting case is that of Francesco Brganza, mp jor in the insurgent army, who ordered the massacre of 103 Spanish prisoners in February of 19ou and who now has been sentenced to death for his crime, lieneral Chaffee made :m unusually long review of this case, characterizing the wholesale destruction of life as "the most barbarous mid revolting mass-acre of helpless prisoners known to the modern history of war." He calls attention to the fuel that the chiefs of the Insurrection did their ut most to prevent the I'nlted States from fulfilling Its obligation to employ its best ell'orts to return the Spanish pris oners In the hands of tliu Filipinos lo Spain. It was upon the approach of a detachment of American troops that this Filipino olllccr ordered tho massacre of helpless Spuniurds in his charge. "In what manner this cruel policy could serve the cause of the in surrection," says (leneral Chaffee, "passes ordinary comprehension." Tho records give full details of the horrors of the killings.

More Troops Are Expected The Union Officials Disclaim Responsi bility for the Attack. fly Exclusive Wire front The Associated Tress. lludlsonvillo, Ks., Nov. IS. The man who was killed In the battle at Provi dence, Sunday morning', tlarrctt Giv ens, was a negro, who lived here. Hud Couch, mortally wounded, Is also a ne gro and both were union men in the at tacking party. There was a report to day that two wounded men were taken to Morguntown, and one to Sabrcc, and that they are all dead, having been shot while attacking the mines. Tills re port lacks verification, though, It is believed, that the men who made the attack suffered heavily from the fight. In the battle of yesterday morning til least 1,000 shots were fired, while in the battle of a week ago. half that number wore fired. Karly this morning t portion of the Madlsonville company ind some of the llopklnsvllle company went to Providence, under the command of Captain Thomas. Tho town Is now under guard by the soldiers. A deplor able state of affairs exists not only at Providence, but nil over Hopkins coun ty and at Empire, in Christian county. Jlore troops are expected. County Judge Hall and Sheriff Sut ton are both at Providence and under their directions part of the soldiers on detail there are scouring the country in an effort to discover other members of the Union party, who engaged in yes terday's battle. It is said the authorities have secured valuable information bearing' on the attack and warrants have been issued for alleged participants in the lighting. Additional troops will probably be sent to this county immediately. One of the mines of the Providence Coal company is running, but the largo mine, on which the attack was made, is idle, due to the disorganized force, and the killing of so many mules dur ing yesterday's shooting. It Is said that the St. Uarnard and other coal companies of Hopkins coun ty have decided to take out foreign charters, in order to get protection In the United States court. The union otllelals hare disclaim re sponsibility for the attack and say that the men who were implicated In yester day's affair acted on their own respon sibility. Orders were issued by Presi dent Wood to the strikers in camp here to break camp at once and join the strikers in camp tit Nortonvllle. The camp hero will be broken up.

J., Have Aroused the City Compul sory Vaccination Rescinded, Dy I'xrltulve Wlr.- from The A-t-odalcd I'rcsi, Philadelphia, Nov. IS. Tlie alarm that has been caused by the nine cases of tetanus following vaccination in Camden, N. J has aroused the city ofllcials there to take olllclal action in the matter, The board of health anil the board of education each held meet ings today. The former decided to re Mucsl physicians to cease vaccinating persons until nn investigation as to tho cause of the lockjaw cases has been made, and the latter rescinded the or der of compulsory vaccination of school children. Of the nine cases of tetanus so far reported, seven of the victims have died und the other two are still in si. dangerous condition. The board of health appointed a. committee of three to act in conjunc tion with the county physician and make a complete Investigation of the whole matter. Dr. 11. H. Davis, president of thu board, in stating the purpose of the call, said he did not believe that vac cination was the direct, cause of te tanus, but the city was thoroughly aroused and the people were looking- to the board of health for some action. He therefore believed something should be done. There have been several eases of tetanus following vaccination reported in Philadelphia, but no olllcial action has been taken. The question of com pulsory vaccination of school children and teachers has been taken to the courts and resulted in a verdict in favor of vaccination. The case was that of a girl's high school teacher, who refused to be vaccinated. She was suspended by the board of edu cation and she carried her case to court. The board was sustained and the teacher was dismissed from the services of the city. She took an ap peal to the Superior court today.

By Exclusive Wiie frem The Ajuocliled rreu. SI. Louis. Nov. IS. Coroner Funk houser today rendered a verdict, find ing the St. .Louis health department negligent in the preparation of diph theria, anti-toxin, the administration of which recently caused the deaths by lockjaw (tetanus) of seven children.

John P. ntriiniiiuns, Depuly, For some time the city health depart ment has been making unll-toxin for use in dlulitheiia cases. This was distributed among practicing physi cians throughout the city free ' of charge and used in the city institutions quite generally. Ia many eases it is said to have sax'ed lives. The serum was obtained from horses that are said to have contracted tetanus. After rendering his verdict, Coroner Ftimkhouser said: "For the present I have done all that I can do. I am not prepared to say I am through with the case, but, so far as I know now, there is nothing more for mo to do." The coroner's verdict is based upon tho testimony of physicians who at tended the lockjaw cases, the inquest and tho leport of the bacteriologists employed by the city to make tests of the infected serum and ascertain the responsibility for it. When informed of the nature of Hie coroner's verdict. Dr. Atmand Ravold, city bacteriologist, said: "I repeat my previous assertion that none of the serum marked September no was distributed to uuy one or under any label. I poured the entire drawing into the sink on October 11, as both Mr. Taylor and X, who was with me in the olllce at the time, teslttled." The lindlng of the committee of bac terologlsts were presented hi a briefer form to the coroner. The conclusions of this report were given as follows: "The most important result we have arrived at Is the positive demonstra tion that llio toxin serum dated Au gust LM mid that dated September 30 are identical. From this we conclude that the serum of September Si wus issued without having been tested by the proper methods, and that a part of It was tilled into bottles bearing the dale of August 21 or was furnished xtith labels having previously been stamped with this date. "From the facts staled, we aiv forced to conclude that the diphtheria anti-toxin prepmed by the city health department had been Issued before it was possible to have obtained results from absolutely necessary tests. Had these tests been performed, the re sults upon auhuals would have been such that the scrum would not have been dispensed and the cases of te tanus forming tho basis of thl.i report could not have resulted."
