ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WASHlNtTON, OCt. co. reslQeHt Arthur
yesterday sent to the Senate a report from
Secretary Blaine in answer to q Senate
resolution of the 14th inst, asking what
steps the Government had taken to protect
the rights Of the United States in the
Panama Canal project. The Secretary re-
ports that, having learned since the ad-
journment Of Congress of the rejection by
the State of a protocol negotiated by Tie
Representatives Of the United States snd
that Republic, which it was hoped would
secure a treaty satisfactory to botb, and
being informed by the Minister of the
United States in Colombia that fine Gov
eminent of Colombia, by it's public acts,
was avowing its desire to terminate the
treaty Of 1916 and appeal to the European
Powers for a joint guarantee Of neutrality
between the Isthmus Of Panama and Col
ombia, he had on the oath day of last
June addressed a letter Of instructions in
the matter to Minister Lowell at London,
and q similar n to each American Minis
ter in Europe. The purport Of the in
structions is, that more than o third Of o
century ago the Government took every
step then deemed necessary in the prem
ises. The guarantee then given by the
United States does not require reinforce
mento or assent by any other Power. Any
movement toward q supplementary guar
antee contained therein would necessarily
be regarded by this Government as an
nulled, for an intrusion into a field where
the local and general interests Of the
United States must be considered before
those Of any other Power, save those OF
Colombia alone. During any war in
which the United States or Colombia
might be engaged, The passage Of armed
vessels OF hostile nations through the canal
would be no more admissible than would
the passage Of armed forces Of such ma.
tons over railway lines connecting the AT
lantio and Pacific shores OF the United
States or OF Colombia. The possessions
of the United States upon the Pacific
Coast are imperial In extent and OF extra
stage Of development, they would supply
the larger part Of the traffic which would
seek the advantages Of the canal. The
States OF California and Oregon and
Washington Territory are larger in area
than England and France, and produce
for export more han q ton of wheat for
each inhabitant. The crops are augment.
ing every year, while the population and
products OF the Pacific Slope are increas-
Ing upon d vast scale. The railway sys.

Eastern and Western States as our present
transcontinental railways. The United
States has always maintained q strict neu-
trality with respect to complications
abroad, and will adhere to principles long
since enunciated by the highest authority
OF the Government, and now, in the judg-
ment OF the President, is firmly woven
as an Integral part OF d national policy.
Tyner Fired Out.
NEW YORK, Dot. 25.-The Times, refer.
ring to Tyner's statement, says that Ty-
ner's tale that he discovered the Star
Route frauds Of 1879. and made a conf
Dental report on the matter. and that he
was persuaded by Hayes to keep his re.
port to himself for the sake Of harmony in
the party, is delightfully."- ingenious. The

of day, and it is the basis on which Tyner
builds his defense, to account for the sp-
pearance in 1881 Of the report said to have
been written in 1879; and to get In q claim
for Tyner being the original discoverer of
the Star Route frauds, 1t was only neoes-
sary to prepare q document, and then as |
sert that it had been locked up In Tyner's
safe ever since 1879. The grotesquely. i'm. |
probable part Of the story is that which
represents him as anxious in 1879 to prose-
cute the men whom he wa busily defend. |
ing in 1880. The Times Washington
says the President fully under
stands the matter, and the request for Ty-
ner's resignation was the result Of . thor
ough-inqairy into that gentleman's off,
cial conduct. Nothing that Tyner or his
friends can do will save him, and Frank
will be nominated on Tuesday to |
be First Assistant Postmaster General.
The story that Grant interceded with the
President for Tyner's retention IL also un-
Grant has not uttered q word in
behalf. but on the contrary Joined
recommending the appointment Of Hat
ton as his successor. In an interview
the President to-day, Tyner discov-
sring that he could not continue to hold
his present place, asked to be appointed
Commissioner Of Railways, which Office Is
low vacant. But this request was per-
smptorily refused by the President.
