though Engineer A. G. Menocal, who
had been employed by the United
States government and had visited the
country ten times TO prosecute surveys
a treaty had been negotiated in lsS4
between this government and Nicara-
qua, providing for the construction Of
canal, under arrangements that pre-
served the sovereignty of Nicaragua,
in addition to securing to all the Cen
trail American republics as well as the
United States the benefits that might
arise, and pledging the United States
to defend the territorial integrity of
the states wherein her interests lie.
That treaty was never ratified, and the
older treaty of 1857, by which the
United States government may have
the right of transit between the two
oceans on equal terms with Nicaragua,
is still in force
The Menocal concession provides for
the privilege for ninety-nine years and
liberty to renew for ninety-nine years
more. People of all nations are TO BE-
permitted to contribute. but per cent
of the subscriptions are reserved to the
Central American republics, and the
government of Nicaragua is to receive
per cent of the stock and $4,000 in
gold as compensation for the grant
Ten years are stipulated as the time in
which the work must be completed.

brother They We're generally re-

prominent business man of Philadel.

for years, and only know good OF
them. They were among the most
charitable men of Philadelphia, but
they made the mistake, judged from
the standard OF to-day, of not letting
their right hand know what their left
hand did. To my own knowledge.
there are hundreds of poor families
who have been assisted time and time
again by thess two men whom the
world calls eccentric, No tenant Of
theirs has ever been sold out for non.
