through the great lake and San Juan
10 Brito. It is calculated that as the
lake and the river will help the en-
gineers over two-thirds of the way,
the expense will not exceed twenty
millions sterling. The Canal is TO be
opened, SO far as the ocean trade is
concerned, to ships of all nations but
is to be reserved, SO far as coasting-
trade is concerned, to Nicaragua and
the United States. Moreover, the
right Of eminent domain" i.e.,
sovereignty, and the guardianship
and taxation Of the Canal are to be
shared between the Government of
Washington and that of Nicaragua,
which is like sharing the right to din
ner between a man and a lap dog.
The Canal may be most useful to the
world as we'll as to the Union; but the
Treaty violates the Clayton-Bnlwer
agreement between America and
Great Britain, and should have been
preceded by negotiations in London.
Lord Granville has already protested;
and it is doubtful whether ratification
will be granted, Americans being IN
disposed to make all treaties worth

Norwegian barque. Early on Thurs.
day mor1ing, the Chelydra,' bound
for Bremerhaven, with rice, was pnss-
ing up Channel, and the 'HoIstrend
was passing down Channel, when the
latter suddenly starboarded her helm,
and crashed into the side of the Bri.
fish vessel. The bows Of the "llols-
trend were stove-in; and her captain,
with a..crew OF fifteen men, took 10 hes
boats, without provisions, and has not
since been heard of; The hole made in
the 'Chelydra' was SO serious that her
captain also took to his boats, and in
a few minutes the vessel sank, the
boats fortunately being all picked up
by n vessel which landed the wrecked
crew in Plymouth. No week now

A correspondent Of the "Daily
News, evidently well-informed, de-
%clares that the single object of Prince
Bismarck in resisting British policy
in Egypt, and producing small en-
barras>ments for the British Govern
ment, is to bring about the fall of Mr..
Gladstone. The German Chancellor
regards that statesman as the great
obstacle to certain designs which he
thinks essential to the completion of
Germany, and which, if England
would but stand aside, he could car
ry out. He is, therefore, straining
every nerve to place the Liberal Co
vernment in such o position that
Liberals will desert it, aud consent to
the substitution Of a Tory Ministry
of affairs. That is quite a possible
explanation of Prince Bismarck's ac-
ton. Il has long been known that
he wished to effect some grand stroke
for which the British annexation of
Egypt would give the signal, and he
may feel that his term is running out
WITHOUT an opportunity offering for
hisyseheme. The mistake he makes
is in showing so much of his hand.
If the English people once suspect
that an ambitious Continental Power
desires to see Mr.. Gladstone removed,
his hold W. the people will become
stronger than ever. Ambassadors are
always working to help or hurt Min
istries in the capitals to which they
are accredited but they usually keep
their influence carefully concealed.
The Times correspondent in Paris
draws a most dreary picture of the
internal condition of Russia, Count
Tolstoi, the Minister of the Interior,
exaggerates the old despotism, sup
presses even local Councils, prohibits
the discussion of any internal events
in the Press, and hunts necessarily

1t is stated that the feet off Formo-

said these Tonquin highlands are
deadly to Europeans, but we suspect
this statement rests on Chinese au-
thoriiy. 1t is in the Deltas that EN-
glishmen, at all events, die. The cor
respondent who forwards these de-
mnnds has probably high French
authority for his figures; but if they
are correct, a very curious question
arises What is wrong in the French

The Colonial Office has issued Fl esh
papers about the German annexation
of Angra Pequena, which, however,
do not explain the main question:
How did it happen that the Colonial
Office did not believe that the Ger
man Government would annexf Lord
Derby does, indeed, tell Sir Hercules
Robinson that in 1880 Count Munster
declared annexation tout of the ques-
tom; but that was four years ago.
No one can read these papers without
n conviction that the true reason OF
British delays, both in South Africa
and Australia, was Lord Derby's no.
ton that, as Prussia had never &C
qnired Colonies, Germany never
would. That shows great ignorance,
for not only was it known in London
that the German Pre- $ was urging
Colonial settlements, especially III the
Pacific, butt was known at Melbourne
that German agents everywhere were
advocating the Cruising of the flag.
It is clear, from the papers, that Lord
Derby intended to allow the Cape to
occupy the coast South of WalfSch
Bay, and that he was amazed at being
anticipated. He was, in fact, con-
pletely outgeneralled, and this in con
sequence of want Of accurate infor-
nation.
