WASHINGTON, April 19.-The rumor published in
one of the Washington papers this morning. that Mr.
Thornton had entered protest on behalf of the
British Government against the survey and building
of an interoceanic canal across the Isthmus of
Darien is without foundation. The Secretary of
State said to-day that no such protests
had been entered would it be for a
moment entertained when the treaty with
the United States of Colombia giving the
night of way for such canal was made public. Mr..
Thornton, in personal conversation with Mr. Fish,
alluded to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and thought
the provisions of the treaty might perhaps interfere
with the carrying out of the canal scheme, but Mr..
Fish convinced him to the contrary. 1t is under

eeSsful the canal will be commenced without delay
