INIER.nCEANIc CANAL

Washington. May 16.-In the report
submitted to the senate to-day, on be-
half OF the committee on foreign rela-
tons. to whom was referred Mr.. Nor
gan's resolution on the construction of a
ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien,
occurs the following:
"By the passage OF this resolution We
simply serve notice to the world that, in
the opinion of the United States the
peace, safety and general welfare of this
Republic require it should be consulted
concerning. and should have voice in the
management of any canal or other way
for transportation of seagoing vessels
across the 1sthmus of Darien. We do
not express any doubts as to our rights,
or suggest any reference of the subject
to an international tribunal, because in
this matter we are absolutely in the
right. We simply ask the nations, who
may directly or indirectly send their
subjects, citizens or capital to the 18TH
mus. that they obtain the consent of the
United States, as the power most directly
interested, and that the rules and regr-
lations for the government of this inter
oceanic highway be made acceptable to
the United States, whose interests, in
peace as in war, they will so materially
affect. Another reason for the passage
of this resolution is that companies have
been and others may be formed for the
construction of projected routes which
it is well known can never be success.
fully operated under their present plans,
aud in which the money subscribed will
be totally lost. Yet many of the SUBJ
scribers have undoubtedly been led to
believe the United States government
approved, indirectly, if not directly, the
scheme in which they have invested
This should not be. No one. at home or
abroad, should be beguiled into invest.

earnings by the belief that the govern.

notice to the senate to elect Il president

Albany Special to Chicago Times, May II.
If the administration men find they
cannot succeed in effecting a comprom
Use with the Conklingites whereby Mr..
Depew shall be elected to one Of the
vacancies, they arc likely to adopt the
adjournment plan, Ill which they would
undoubtedly succeed. II the stalwarts
remain firm, it is difficult to see how q
deadlock can be prevented. The Gar
field men willcertainly refuse to 20 into
caucus, and paper is already in circu-
lation among them to agree to that.
Taking the highest claims of the stall
warts, the result of the joint convention n
would be Us follows:
Whole number of votes. .......................1e .1eO

In the above estimate twelve senators
are added to Conkling's claim of sixty
assemblymen. Taking the figures OF
careful administration men, we have the
following result:

A>SSShshiS
The above tables will make interesting
studies, and the question naturally arises
whether Conkling, shorn Of all patronage,
can pull through with flying colors in
the present struggle.
Many of the members OF the legislature
in both branches received communica.
tions from their constituents on yester-
day, in relation to the great issue. Sen
ator Lord received circular generally
signed by the republicans of his district,
calling meeting OF all citizens of Onta-
rio county who are in favor of sustaining
President Garfield and his administers
ton, at Canandaigua, N. Y, on May 81.
The parties in the legislature are di.
vided as follows: In the senate, 25 re-
publicans and democrats; in the Assem-.
bly,, 81 republicans and Az democrats, ,and
one independent. How many of these
republicans are administration men and
how many are stalwarts can only be told
when the next republican caucus shall
be held. 1t Is generally understood that
there have been not few changes since
MIR. Platt was chosen to the post he has
deserted.
