A. CANAL COMBINE.
Projeotto Consolidate the Nicaragua
and Panama Companies.
Franchises of Latter to Be Absorbed
by Former Corporation. Which
Thus, Gets a Monopoly.

Paris, Feb. 529.--A startling and I'M
expected solution of the Panama canal
problem is presented as "a possibility of
the nearfuture. This is IN the form of
a consolidation of the Panama Canal
company with the Nicaragua Canal
company.
The president of the latter corpora
ton, Mr.. j II. Bartlett, who has just left
Paris en- route for America, bears with
him an agreement for fusion of the
two companies. This agreement was
formally signed here, but is not conclu-
sive. 1t is understood it will become
operative on behalf Of the Panama com
pany when concurred in by the direct.
ors of the Nicaragua Canal company in
New York.
1t provides for the absorption of the
Panama franchise and assets, including
the railroad across the isthmus. The
French company is to receive a substan
tial sum OF money and stock in the
American corporation which will pro-
coed to pierce the isthmus via Lake

The Nicaragua representatives, on
their part, claim to derive great advan-
tages from the removal Of q. possible
future competitor and the securing of
a monopoly of the waterway between
the two oceans. With this change in,
the situation the many bankers Of
Great Britain and the continental CEN
ters, MS well as America, are prepared
to float the Nicaragua company's bonds.
Declares Panama Canal Impracticable.
Capt. Chamberlain Bey late secretary
of the Panama Canal company and
formerly her British majesty's acting
consul at Panama, said:
II have spent seven years in Panama,
from the outset of the work until its sus-
pension, and know every inch of the.
ground from Rio Grande to Aspinwall.
1 consider the Panama canal project in its
actual condition and owing to the OBJ
struction of the Culebra mountain and the
Changers river and the deadly climate as
absolutely imprecticable. s3s
Even were 1t to be constructed 1t would
require for Its completion an amount of
money larger than could possibly be
raised at this time. I believe the Mica
ragua, route Is practicable. and that the
amalgamation Of the two companies will
be of great advantage to both. and, more
over. bring into friendly alliance the mon
led interests of France, United States
and England - ss=..

Deciding the Contests.

Senator Carter yesterday called d
meeting Of the republican national
committee Of st. Louis for June 10,
''lor the purpose of preparing the
temporary roll of membership, de-
signaling the temporary cficcrs Of
the convention and for the trans
action Of such other business as may
require the action Of the committee. )"
The preparation Of the temporary
roll of membership is IL matter Of
great consequence to the convention
or ratllcr'it would be if Mr.. McKin-
ley were not SO far in the lead in the
race for thc nomination. AS it is.
if all the anti Mckinley contestants
should be seated it probably would
not affect the result.
Possibly in deciding :thc so con-
tests, Senator Carter may find oppor-
tunitics for doing something for sill
yer. The New York Sun suggests as
much. "Thc fact that Chairman
Carter is a free silvcritc,' it says,
"that Mr.. Mckinley refuses to de-
nouncc the money straddlc Of his
OHIO convention, and many other
little incidents that are daily crop.
ping out have led the friends OF
the soundmoncy candidates. Morton
Iced; Quay, Allison and Rradlcy-to
keep thcit eyes wide open and their
ears close to the gto;lnd."
1t is said that Carter will follow
the precedent laid down by other
chairman, his predecessors on the
republican national committee, and
appoint from the national committee
Of litce, who will
hear the testimony and decide the
1870 contests, beginning with Ala:
bama and going down through the
list. 1t is believed Chairman Car
ter's power will be almost absolute
in matters OF this kind. Other re.
publicanS according to the Sun. say
that a majority OF the republican
national committee could. if they
Thought it wise, take from Chairman
Carter his power to appoint these
subcommittee OF three, and that
II necessary the whole committee
would sit as Il body in determining
the contests.

Republican Principles.

The following eloquent and patri-
otic enunciation Of the republican
principle Of protection is from Hon
Lee Mantle, one OF the able repre-
scutativcs Of Montana in the United
States senate:
81 am a believer in the principle
of protection because it gives the
work Of this republic to cur own
workingmcn, to whom Of right it be-
longs. Employment is essential to
the we'll being and happiness Of the
people. 1t brings prosperity and
contcnt and inspires patriotism. Idle
ness, upon the other hand, is pro-
life Of discomfort and social disorders
Of every character. | am therefore
in favor Of that policy which will
light the fires Of our own furnaces,
start the wheels Of our own factories,
furnish labor for our people, develop
our own magnificent resources, fur
nish home market for our own pro-
ducts, and which will come nearest
to making us Il self sustaining, indie.
pcndcnt'nation in every particular
The protective principle, wisely an(
justly applied, will aid greatly il
bringing about these desirable ends
But it ought never to be invoked fo
the benefit Of any special interest
class or section, or be permitted t
foster any monopoly Or combination
against the public interest. 1t must
protect the wool grower as we'll as
the wool manufacturer, the producer
of the raw material as we'll as the
roduccr Of the finished product. In
short, it must be as broad as the
union itself, and must be adjusted
to guard every American, industry
which needs it's shcltcring arm to
shield it from the cheap and dcgrad-
ing competition Of other lands
