MR.. BLAINEs CANAL NOTE.


RUMORs OF REPLY-PRESS COMMENTS.
LONDON, Oct 29.-The Memorial DiplOmdtique, of
Paris, states that Earl Granville, British Foreign
Secretary, will propose that the European Powers
send an Identical note to Washington, courteouSly
rejecting the conclusions of Secretary Blaine circu
lar note with regard to the Panama Canal. No de-
pendence can be placed, however, this report I'M
less it is corrOborated from some authoritative
source; and so far it lacks such confirmation.
The PaH Man Gazette this evening says:
1t cannot doubted that Mr. Baincs circular was not
acuated by any historical policy but by the iear that
rangemcnt ny which the United States and Colombia re-
served to themselves the right their menOi-war
ing that the canal should be closed TO nations at war with
either contracting party. The eXpedient oi
America for securing her interest in the Panama
Canal by negotiating treaty by shrpflse
with small weak state is not much happier than the
British purchase of Suez Canal shares which aimed AZ
similar object. European Powers might iegitlnatcy
hesitate to commit the virtual command OF one oi the
very greatest commercial routes in the world t0 one very
strong Power and one very weak one.
TO call TO recollection Americas former and wiser frame
of mind. We cannot see why I'm entering upon any slh
lar negotiation the United states should not make II an
Indispensable condition that no treaty should Ichutr
their military and naval position than at present
In refusing to settle the status of the canal by ntcrna
tOna agreement, they are setting precedent great
deal worse than lnconYemcnL
The Saturday Rerie,c, commenting on Secretary
Blaine's circular, says
Great Britain may perhaps deem it cxpedcnt To de-
clare that no pretenOu be strengthened by the
of menacing language IL may he well 10 preserve the
formal right OF protesting against any encruachmeht
upon the neutrality Of the canal Precedent 10 the time
of the Mexican expedition sound reasons might have
opposed to the American. claim; but II IL mgny
probable that the banks of the canal VIII become Nr
ually subject to American sovereignty, and IL would DC

THE NEW LINE TO NEW-HAvEN.

The New-YOrk and Connecticut Air Line
Railway Company organized Friday. The plan Is 10
build new road from this city to NewHaven. 1t VIII
run on direct line TO New-Hayen near the NewforK,
Hartford and NewHaven Railroad although at greater
distance from the shore, and will travel through the
principal places instead OF distance from them, as
the NewIIaven road does at West Point and Norfolk
man interested in the road said yesterday TRIBUNE
reporter that the road would be fourteen miles
shorter than the present NewHaven road, as 1t would
avoid the abrupt of the latter road 1t would also
nave only one dTawbridge which would be over the
Housatonc, and the maximum grade would be only forty
feet to the mile thereby enabling the trains to make
faster time and avoid the possibility of accidents occur
ing on number OF drawbrldges.
The reporters informant thought the new road could
pay ten cent profit oncfourth OF the business
that il done at present by the New-Haven road The
new company will have capital OF $6,000,000 There
would undoubtedly be enough business for the road
as the NewIayen road had transported about 100000
passengers last year. and had not satisfied the travelling
public
" When will the new line be in operaton" asked the
reporter
