IMplotNntloTrlumpli In the New Treaty
Open,Wnter U Secured for Every Na
tlon In til Document.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 19.
The now Hny-Paunccfoto treaty was
signed today nt 12; 05 by Secretary Hay
for tho United States and Lord Paunce-
fotc, the British ambassador, for Great
Britain.
This treaty Is Intended to roplaco
tho first Hny-Paunccfoto treaty. That
convention was amended eo extensive
ly by tho United States sennto at its
last session thnt tho British Kovorn-
mcnt declined to ratify it. Within u
fow wooka negotiations begnn afresh
botween Secretary Hay and Lord
Pauncefoto, which havo JuBt resulted
in tho slgnaturo of tho now treaty,
drawn with special reforenco to tho
objections found by tho Bcnato with
the first treaty.
From a duo Bons'o of tho courtesy
which must bo reserved toward tho
United States Bennto whenover a treaty
is concerned, tho stato department Is
estopped from making public tho text
of tho now convention and that will
romaln secret until tho senate Itsolf
shall break tho seal of confidence It
is said at tho stato dopartmont hat
tho various publications which have
niado of tho alleged text of tho treaty
aro all erroneous and conjoctural,
though in vlow of tho rather freo ad
ministration that havo been mado
of tho purposes of tho negotiations, It
has been posslblo by tho -uso of tho
toxt of tho first troaty to construct ono
slmllnr In goneral orins to tho now
convention.
Tho prlnclpnl point of dlffercnco bo
tween tho new nnd tho failed treaty is
tho withdrawal of Groat Britain from
tho Joint guarantee of tho neutrality
of tho canal, thus leaving tho United
Statos tho boIo guarantor. Tho oxcls
lon of tho old provision respecting tho
right to fortify tho cnnnl leaves that
right by Inferonco optional with tho
United States. All commerco of what
ever nationality pasnlng through tho
canal will faro alike; thero will bo
no discrimination in rates In favor of
United States shipping.
Othorwlso tho now treaty Is in Bcopo
similar to lust year's treaty. It ro
places technically tho Clnyton-Bulwer
treaty, concluded on April 19, 1850. By
tho terma of that old cqnvontlon tho
Unltod Stntca and Groat Britain
agreed that neither should seek any
advantage In rights of transit across
tho Isthmus. By tho now convention
Groat Britain yields hor right in favor
ot tho United States which Is thus nt
liberty to construct a canal.

Enough in Fivo Bounds.
STOMACH BLOW CAUSES COLLAPSE
Vanquished Pugilist Clttltnj Jeffries Struck
Lnw JCnsy Victory bu. prises Holler
maker Winner Considers Opponent
Vigorous Until Latter Yields.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. In one
of tho most unsatisfactory prizo fights
evor witnessed in this country James
Jeffries proved tho victor last night
over Qua Ruhlln. In tho fifth round
of what was to havo been a twenty
round struggle Ruhlln wilted and then
surrendered to his peer, to tho utter
amazement and disgust of J.W nssem-'
bled thousands. No ono was moro
surprised than Jeffries himself, who
asserted that although ho had deliver
ed ono tolling blow In tho second
round ho did not expect to win tho vic
tory so easily.
Huhlln's solo explanation ot the out
come of tho fight is that ho received
a chance blow which utterly disabled
him and that Jeffries persisted 'in
fighting him low. Whllo Ruhlln will
make no absoluto chargo of Jeffries
having committed a foul ho Intimates
tnat he was unfairly handled nnd in
jured as a result. Ruhlln received
the roport ot his seconds In this stand,
who say that his was a hopeless caso
after the second round.
When seen in his dressing room af
ter tho fight Champion Jeffries said:
"I was certainly surprised at my
easy victory and Ruhlln's amazing de
feat Whllo It is truo that ho did not
punch me hard enough during the fivo
rounds to causo mo any alarm, I bo
llavcd him strong and cautious up to
the moment of his collapse and was
surprised when ho quit I certainly
had no troublo in whipping him and
had tho fight gono on the result must
have boon tho sarao. Ruhlln was in
accurate and in poor wind nnd I can
not say that ho oven had tho courage
and, force that I expected to ccountcr
in him. Ruhlln took a stiff nunch
In the stomach In tho fourth round,
which I presume gavo him trouble.
Nevertheless I expected him to loso
harder than ho did. Ruhlln can
doubtless best cxplnln his own posi
tion, and as for myself I am willing
to meet Sharkey next month and
thereafter to defend as best I can tho
title I hold."
When Ruhlln wont Into his dress
ing room ho was follow ed by a gloomy
group of adherents. Tho defeated
man complained of no pain and mov
ed about without assistance. Ho
stated:
"I believed from tho tap of tho gong
that I would win, but as tho fight
progressed I was beaten down until I
received a blow In tho stomach which
I must say was very low. It may not
havo been a foul, but no living man
could have survived It. Jeffries do-
parted from tho written rules and
from tho common regulations of box
ing when ho throw himself upon mo
and wrestled rather than sparred. I
bellevo that had I not received tho
stomach punch which ended me in
tho fifth round I would havo worn
down Jeffries a few rounds Inter and
beaten him as a matter of endurance.
I am ready to fight him again and be
lieve that In time I will havo tho op
portunity of showing that I can de
teat him."
