TIE DALLAS TRsArr.-The London Times,
on the strength of an unfounded rumor that
the United States Senate had rejected the
Central American treaty, expresses its views
in relation thereto, and concludes thus:
Now, the course Of this country is perfectly
clear. The negotiation which the British gov
eminent opened In the course of last year
were honestly intended to put an end to diff.
ferences between two nations which a common
origin and common interests should naturally
unite. The convention with Honduras was
concluded, not at our instigation, but in con-
sequence Of special mission from that repub-
lie. The treaty with the United States was
the work of an American minister who had
not long left his own country, and must have
been acquainted with its feelings and inter-
ests. Our course received the appreciation of
the American government and of the Ameri.
can people.
Yet it seems that party in the Legislature
does not hesitate to overthrow all that has
been done, and to endanger the present friend
~ relations between the two countries. Our
hands are therefore clean The direct inter.
est Of England in the whole matter il very
small. We care nothing about the Moeo uito
protectorate. We do not want the Bay Islands,
and our whole concern in Honduras is limited
to free transit across the territory, in case
the contemplated railway should ever bs con-
structed. The Americans have so little Do
litical connection with any nation but England
that . diplomatic campaign against US en-.
crosses the attention and interest of the whole
people.
We, on the other hand, regard such differ.
snces as Of secondary importance to the CON.
Germs of European policy Hence, in all these
questions the American politicians aim is
victory; that of the Englishmsn is to be dis
embarrassed Of q vexstiOus and often unintel-
ligibls controversy. In the present case We
can very we'll afford TO wait and see what are
the precise objections Of the American Senate,
and what new demands Mr. Dallas will have
to mako, after declaring himself satisfied with
the settlement which was made four months
ago,
