Blaine's statement in regard to the unexam.
pied development of the Pacific coast, bat
denies it was unexpected. He says the declar.
alton of President Monroe anterior to the
treaty, shows be and his cabinet had a clear
provision Of the great future Of that region.
The development Of the interest of British
possessions had also continued, though pos.
sibly less rapidly. The government are OF
opinion canal as water way between the
two great oceans and Europe and eastern Asia
Is work which concerns not only the Amer

With ali Difference to the considerations
which prompted Blaine, he cannot believe his
proposals will be even beneficial In themselves.
He can conceive OF no more melancholy
spectacle than competition between ma
lions in the construction of fortifcs-
tions to command the canal. He cannot be-
lieve any South American state would like TO
admit foreign power to erect Notifications

Lord Granville believes an invitation To all
maritime states to participate in an agreement
based on the stioulations OF the convention of
1850, would make convention adequate fer
the purpose for which it was designed Der
majesty's government would gladly SIC the
United States take the initiative t,,war. such
convention, and will be prepared to epdorss
and support such action In any way, provided
it does not conflict with the Clayton Blu wer
treaty. Lord Granville, in SUBJ quert dis

ror. The question was an internal one, and
the British government could only, when ft
reason arose, intercede in friendly manner.
