Walter Wellman telegraphs that the United States and Great Britain have a new canal treaty to be sent to the Senate for ratification. The agreement abrogates the old Clayton Bulwer treaty, provides a neutral isthmian canal open to all nations in peace, and guarantees neutrality by the United States with Great Britain as an implied guarantor.
