THE oLAYxoN-BUhwER TREATY.

The agitation Of the Nicaragua canal
question in England, snd the illusions
to the ClsytonaBulwer treaty in that
connection, make that much discussed
agreement between this country and
Great Britain of peculiar interest just
ct this time. The treaty was nego-
tiated during the administration Of
President Fillmore in April. 1850. 1t
WAS made with reference to particular
canal which was to be constructed under
concession, granted by Nicaragua in
August, 1s49. to an American company.
1t WAS an agreement between Great
Britain and the United States, In which
the latter consented to waive the ex-
elusive and valuable rights which had
been conceded to them, and agreed with
Great Britain that they would not
occupy, fortify, colonize or assume do
minion over any part OF Central
America. They also consented, at some
future day, to admit the British gov
eminent to share in the protection
which they exercised over the Isthmus
~ <Au ehos pOEAOo VI WIG
national history the people were poor
In money and floating capital, and the
scheme for canal was too vast for
their means, the population then not
being half the number that it is now.
In order to secure English capital the
company surrendered their exclusive
privileges, and offered an equal share
of all they had in those regions in
order that no time might be lost in
commencing and completing the canal.
Time, however, YVES unnecessarily lost,
through no fault Of theirs; the work
wss never begun and the concession
failed.
Since that time the United States gov
eminent has insisted that the failure of
the canal project abrogated tho treaty,
while England has insisted that it's pro-
visions.B still stands. Much official CORES.
pondence has ensued between the two
has been reached, further than that Eng
land has been noEifed that this country
will act in the matter OF constructing q
canal, should the question arise, just as
II the Clayton Bulwer treaty never ex-
listed. On the other hand, Great Britain
contends that she has important in
terests in the locality of the canal; that
the subject Is one affecting the whole
civilized world; that the treaty was to
extend to any future canal or canals
which might be constructed. and that SO
far as colonizing was concerned, the
particular colonization objected to was
expressly excepted from the treaty.
Holding Vows 30 entirely opposite on
this important question, serious trou BILE
may arise between Great Britain and
the United States in the event that
this government should assist in con-
structing q canal or assume control OF
it.
1t is certain, however, that pubic
opinion in the United States will never
consent to union with Great Britain in
joint control OF any waterway that
may be constructed on the Isthmus, or
that this government should regard the
Clayton-B ulwer treaty as 9 subsisting
obligation, so far as any canal or roll.

America is concerned.

the Office while Eastman was there, and
quarrel arose between the two men.
They left the office, Hatton going into a

that Hatton cursed him, using vile

he caught hold of Hattons coat collar,

Montgomery Left Moblla.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March THE
cruiser Montgomery left Mobile to-day
for TruXillo, which is 900 miles due south
on the north coast of Honduras. As the
Montgomery had two important tests Of
coal yet to complete at Mobile and was
expected 10 remain there until March
10Th at least, her sudden departure was
a great surprise 10 naval officers and
naturally excited considerable curiosity.
Investigation disclosed the fact that Sc
cret orders had been telegraphed in cipheN
TO Commander Davis by Secretary
Herbert last night. and that ne was di-
rected TO follow them out Immediately,
returning 10 Mobile to complete the coal
tests as soon as the ship was no longer
needed on the Central American coast.
Beyond this all is mystery. Secretary
Herbert absolutely declined to say any
thing about the mission of the ship, al
though he intimated that she would be
away over a month.
