The long ex pected answer from the British govern ment to the state department's commu nication reciting the action of the sen ate upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was returned yesterday. Lord Paunce fote, the British amassador, came to the state, deportment at noon by ap pointment He brought the answer with him, and read it to Secretary Hay. It was, In form, an Instruction from I.ord ltnsUowne, the Hritlsh minister of foreign affairs, to Lord Pauncefotc. ; and of this instruction he left a copy with Secretary Hay. The secretary and the ambassador were closeted for half an hour. At the conclusion of the conference It was stated that the Instruction to Lord Pauncefote was to notify the govern ment of the United States that the British government did not see Its way clear to the acceptance of the senate amendments. These amendments were treated in detail at some length, In ar gumentative fashion, the purpose of the British government being to show that it had sound reason for declining to accept them. After disposing of the details, the note concluded with an ex pression of regret that such a course was forced upon the British government. There was nothing; in the nature of a counter proposition, nor was any open ing left for further action by the Hritlsh government. It was stated that if there Is to be a further attempt to amend the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, so as to author ise the United States to construct a waterway across the Isthmus, then it Is for the United States to make the ove -tures; the British government simply drops the matter at this point. As to the entire abrogation of th" Clayton-Bulwer treaty, as provided 'jy one of the senate amendments. It ap pears to be the British view that au:h a step Is too far reaching to be taken without some negotiation. In which the British aide of the case is presented. The so-called Davis amendment ap pears, however, to be the chief obstacle in the way of an agreement, and while the British answer makes no sugges tion of any further megotlatlon.it seems to be a fair Inference from it general tenor that if a modification, of this amendment couM be secured there probably could be an adjustment upon the other points of difference. No opportunity offered yesterday af- j ternoon for a conference between the president and Secretary Hay respecting the British answer, therefore It cannot ! yet be stated what action, if any, will he taken by our government. It Is stated that there Is no hurry, even n tut event that It shall be decided to In vite Great Britain to Join in fresh nego tiations as to an Isthmian canal, con gress not being In session to consider a treaty if one should be framed. The be lief seems to be warranted that there will be no further negotiations on the subject In the immediate future, unles.i some event not now foreseen by the of flclall causes a radical change in the situation. For the present the text of the Brit ish answer will be withheld -from pub lication, on this side of the water at least, though It is said that after the president hiiH thoroughly considered the matter some general statement may be made sr to the points developed. The British answer is quite long, as such documents go, and would make about two newspaper columns. The tone of the reply is distinctly friendly throughout, particularly so In the cor. eluding assurances of good will and a desire to co-operate In the realisation j of this undertaking. Maryland Miners May Strike. Cumberland, Md., March 12. There Is trouble brewing in the Cumberland mining region, and a strike is looked for.

This action was followed by the adoption of a resolution offered by Mr. Voorheee, of Philadelphia, that the use of tha hall of the house ba granted the com mittee for the hearings. Resolutions of respect ta the memory of the late Senator Magee, presented by Mr. McLain, of Lancaster, were adopted by a rising vote, For the second time during the pres ent session there was another vacant chair when the senate met at 9 o'clock last night The seat or the late Sen ator C. L. Magee, of PltUburg, who died on Friday, was draped with mourning. A beautiful floral offering relieved the sembreneas of the drapery. The senate, on account of Senator Ma gee's death, was la session only a short time. Mr. Focht, of Union, chairman of tha committee on elections, reported fa vorably, as amended, the ballot bill drawn up by himself. Mr. Focht said he will ask that the bill be recommit ted as soon as It is printed for the purpose of further amending It. The amendments already made to It are unimportant. On motion of Mr. Berkelbach, of Philadelphia, the bill abolishing the law empowering the courts of l'hili delphla to appoint the board of re vision of taxes and the bill providing for the election of the board by the people, both of which were introduced by him, were recommitted to the com mittee on municipal affairs. Mr. Berk elbach made no explanation as to why he wanted the bills recommitted. The Philadelphia board of revision of taxes bills were reported to the house on Friday of last week from the municipal corporations com mittee. Mr. Cooper, of Delaware, mov ed to recommit the bills for a public hearing. After a lengthy debate the Cooper resolution failed by a vote of 31 to 46. Less than a quorum voting, Speaker Marshall asked for a call of the house. Doors were locked and tha doorkeepers directed to allow no per son to enter or leave the chamber. Tha toll call showed only 98 members pres ent. The clerk then read the list of members absent with and without leave. While this was being done the "orders of the day" were called an the house adjourned to Monday night. The McTighe barbers' till we re ported with an amendment creating state board of barbers to he appointed by the governor. The Snyder oieo bill was also brought out of committee.

' In the senate Wednesday, Mr. Berkel bach, of Philadelphia; introduced a bill providing that at the election in Febru ary. 1902, and each fourth year thereaf ter, three persons shall be elected ' In Philadelphia to serve as membersof the board of revision of taxes for four years. Electors can vote for only two candidates, and the three having the largest number of votes shall be de clared elected.

There was with Senator Magee when be died his wife and her sister, Mrs. Warwick: Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Magee, Steel Magee and Mr. and Mrs. John Steel, of Pittsburg, brothers and sisters of the senator. Drs. Browning aad Wilson, of Philadelphia, were also with him.

That was the day on which the !allot for United States senator was taken, and he voted for Congressman John Dalxell, of Pitts burg. He kept In close touch with the legislative proceedings, but was too ill to attend the sessions. Mr. Ma gee's personal popularity Is evidenced by the. general expressions (tttaorrow over his death, even by those r,Jo opposed him In factional fights. Wfwernor Stone paid a beautiful tribute tohis memory, declaring that he feels his. death a personal loss. A writ for a special election to Oil the. t vacancy caused by Mr. Magee's death will be Issued by Lieutenant (Jovernor Gobln after the funeral. "Christopher Lyman Magee was born in Pittsburg April 14, 1848. and when a bay attended the present Grant school, aad subsequently the Western univer sity.
