London, Nov. 10— Astonishment was caused here by tlie signing of a Panama canal treaty by United States Secretary of State Hay and M. Bunau- Yarilla, representing the new republic of Panama. Sucli speedy conclusion of the treaty was altogether unexpected and has evoked expressions of surprise. Contrast is made between the methods of diplomacy of the old world and those of the new. Satisfaction is expressed that a difficult crisis has thus far been settled without troublesome consequences, the general belief here being that the republic of Colombia will bow to the inevitable and that the powers will soon follow the example of France and recognize the republic of Panama.

The contention made by the counsel for the Mercantile Trust company is that under the terms of the deed of trust the petitioners' right to foreclose has become absolute without waiting for the continuance of the defaulted period provided In the mortgage Itself in respect to failure to perform the conditions thereof. It Is further claimed that it was provided that in the event of the trustees, the Mercantile Trust company, beginning any appropriate proceedings in law or equity for the purpose of foreclosing the mortgage tha trustee should, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver, and so some other individual than the present receiver ii sought.
