WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Special.-
Senator Carlisle's Kentucky friends here
announce, as they say, upon direct infor-
nation, that the senator will surely be
Mr.. Cleveland's secretary of the treasury.
MANY of them believe that Editor Henry
Walterson will be MI. Carlisle's success
sor in the senate and that it was to ar
range for the editors election that n
tor recently went to the Blue Grass
state. While MI. Watterson does not
seek the position it is stated he would
not refuse it. Nearly every Kentuckian
in Washington would like to see Waiter
son come to the senate.
Possibly for the purpose of allaying
the small but growing determination of
the Mills crowd to defeat the re election
of Speaker Crisp upon the organization
of the next house in December or when
ever that body assemblies, the friends OF
the speaker have caused to be circulated
the broad statement that Mr.. Crisp will
probably not want the office he now
holds another term. They say the ILL
ness which has seized Senator Colquitt
will prove fatal, and that when the va
cancy occurs in the Georgia senatorship
Mr.. Crisp is sure to get that place.
There is considerable uneasiness in the
situation surrounding Speaker Crisp,
despite the fact that he would be re-
elected without opposition, compare
lively, were the election to come soon.
There is, however, naturally, a wide
chasm between the speaker and Mr..
Cleveland, and any patched up peace
which may be arranged is liable at any
time to be broken into flinders.
AS the debate in the senate yesterday
plainly indicated, it can be confidently
relied upon that whatever congress and
this government may do in the way OF
assisting the construction of the Nicar-
aqua canal, it will be done with a clear
understanding that the United States
government will not have to depend
upon the indistinct, if not absolute
Monroe doctrine for our commercial
rights. Senator Sherman, Hoar and
Morgan have some very vigorous views
upon that subject which they intend to
give before the resolution of Senator
Wolcott, introduced yesterday, making
inquiry as to the amount of money ex-
pended upon the canal, is finally disposed
Of. President Harrison has two or three
times in his messages recommended that
congress should take steps to secure
the canal for our commercial interests
and the proposition has been we'll d.
gested in congress although there is no
probability that anything will be done
in that direction this year. The shame
being managed in opposition to the in
terests of the United States, and for those
of the French people and French govern
ment, has, as Senator Hoar says, re-
minded US of the necessity of moving in
no uncertain way. The senators say that
if We take parental care of the Nicaragua
canal in any degree we will control it.
Before any action is taken, however, it is
altogether probable that inquiry will be
made as 20 the extent to which the Mon
roe doctrine has been dragged in the dust
by the present management of the Pan
ANA canal. 1t is stated that the inquiry
into the Nicaragua canal will be made to
cover the Panama canal management,
unless there are some men in congress
who fear an inquiry touching upon the
Panama affair.
