industry that would give employ
ment to hundreds Of thousands of
workers 1t would build factories and

SECOND EDITION
THE CLAYTON-BULwER TREATY,
Lord Granville ON the Panama
Canal.

Canal.
LONDON, Feb. e.-Lord Granville, In
his despatch of January 7 to Minister
West, in reference to the Clayton-Bul-
wer Treaty controversy, denies any
analogy between the Panama and SueZ
canals. He cordially concurs in Mr..
Blaine's statement in regard to the un-
exampled development of the Pacific
coast, but denies that it was une1-
pected. He says the declarations of
President Monroe anterior to the treaty
show that he and his Cabinet had
clear provision of the great future Of
that region. The development of the
interests of the British possessions also
continued, though possibly less rapidly.
The government is Of the opinion that
the canal, as waterway between tine
two great oceans and Europe and East
ern Asia is a work which concerns not
only the American continent, but the
whole civilized world. With all de-
ference to the considerations which
prompted Mr.. Blame, he cannot believe
that his proposals will be beneficial in
themselves. He can conceive q no more
melancholy spectacle thau competition
between nations in the construction of
Notifications to command th Q canal. He
cannot believe that any South American
State would like to admit foreign
Power TO erect Notifications on its terri
tory, when the claim to do so is accom-
panied by the declaration that the canal
is to be regarded as a part of the Amer
ican coast line. It is difficult to believe,
he says, that the territory between 1t
and the United States could retain its
present independence.
Lord Granville believes that an invl-
tati0n to all maritime States to partici-
pate 10 an agreement based on the stlpu-
lations of the convention of 1850 would
make the conveation adequate for the
purposes for which 1t was designed.
Her Majesty's government would gladly
see the United States take the initiative
toward such convention, and will be
prepared to indorse and propose such
action in any way, provided it does not
conflict with the Clayton-BulweI
Treaty.
Lord Granville, In a subsequent de-
spatch, draws attention to the fact thai
Mr.. Blaine, In using the argument tha
the treaty has been q source of contin
ued d thculties omits to state that thu
questions in dispute, which related II
points occupied by the British in Cen
IL al America, were removed IN 1860 bJ
the voluntary action of Great Britain
in certain treaties concluded with Hon
duras and Nicaragua, the settlemen
being recognized as perfectly satisfaC
tory by President Buchanan. Lort
Granville further ssys that during thi
controversy America disclaimed any de
sire to have the exclusive control of tn
canal.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The London Times suggests that tn
United States should invite the mar
itime Powers generally to accede TO tn
stipulation of neutrality for interoceani
communications, which now, by th
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, binds Grea
Britain and the United States. 1t con
siders, that the American people woull
view such action favorably.

MRS. LIncOIn's Imaginary Poverty,

y y
A member of the family OF Mrs. Lin
coin, the widow of the ex-president, is
in Washington. In speaking of the re-
cent act of Congress donating to Mrs.
Lincoln SIS, ,000, ,iand an add tiOnal PEN
sion, he said it was unnecessary, and
ON being asked why, he saie Mrs.
Lincoln had $4,000 invested in four
and-a-half per cent, government bonds.
10 addition to that she had before pen-
sion OF $1,000 year. This was ample
for all her expenses and If 1t had not
been her soon would have made 1t up to
her. The fact Is, her mind is complete
ly wrecked, and she Is insane on the
question Of poverty. She has been fear
iul, for years, that she would come to
wunt. Her son has done everything
pos ible for her, sparlng no pains, mon
ey or attention to make her life pleas
ant but, because he has not favored
her desire for an additional pension
from Congress, she has entertained hard
feeling toward him.. l know when she
got her original pension $1,000 that
he used every effort with Congress to
defeat the meR'ure, knowing it was not
necessary. This very much incensed
Mrs. Lincoln, who was possessed of the
idea that she was Ia great danger of
| coming want. She has been some years
in Europe, and when she returned she
brought back fifty.five trunks and no
end Of bags and packages, the freight ON
which costs 1855 from New York to
Chicago. She has been in the habit of
going ont frequently and buying four
teen or fifteen silk dresses in one day,
and then gong home and putting them
in a trunk snd storing them. OF course
they were never taken out or used.
This idea which has gone out that she
needed anything has emanated from her
| own mind, owing 10 the fact of her in
sanity on this subject, and had nc
real foundation. Her son, the secretary
| of war, Is very sensitive about the mat
ter, and has done all he could quietly to
tdefeat any such action, delicately about
the matter that he has been unable To
prevent the measure coming before
| Conges. Ot course pitrio ic consider
ations secured is passage when it was
brought formally the attention of sen,
ators aud representatives. 1t may be
right In Ole sense to have bill passed
because it humors the whm of a Wom
au, whose mind was wrecked through
the a .ssssination OF her husband, while
in public position, and she is affi cteC
with disease VIII ch certainly will re
suit fatally in few months, and shI
can live but a short time anyhow, 81
that it Is, no doubt, just as we'll that the
act was passed but that she has eve
wanted anything is not true, nor indeed
is it possible that she ever could want
with her own fortune and the watchtul
ness Of her son, to do everything to al
levlate her sufferlngs and cares, menta
as well as physical.
