 LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Times says: The Nicaraguan treaty will excite amaze ment in England and America if the published version of it Is correct. It will elicit direct protest on both conti- nents. It Is a direct violation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, and is a more distinct violation than Blaine ever con- tsmplated. A meriCans will not sup pose that Englishmen deprecate the treaty owing to any alarm of the exten- tension ot American donlinions, or ttat they mistrust that the treaty will be abused to injury of the British trade, but they cannot approve the example of one state purchasing the control of such waterways for its personal advantage and not as a trustee for the world. X summary of the provisions of the treaty as cabled to England, contains no pro- visions in behalf of the worlds trade. A nayagable highway between two oceans is not petty matter for sale and barter between couple of states.
