If John Bull is really behind that
sensational protest against the Nicara-
qua canal bill, made to Secretary Olney
by the Minister of the Greater Repub-
lie of Central America, and sent to the
Senate by Secretary Olney, John Bull
has made break by showing his hand
too soon. OF course the protest, by
showing that the government of Nj
caragua already regards the Canal
Company as having forfeited all the
concessions granted it by that govern
ment, will kill the present Nicaragua
canal bill, but it will also go much
further. 1t may kill the arbitration
treaty recently negotiated between the
United States and Great Britain, Il
has been openly charged on the floor
Of The Senate that English diplomacy
was working, through the combination
Of those three little Central American
republics, to put England in position
where il could either control on have o
share in controlling the Nicaragua ship
canal. This may or may not be true,
but 80 long as there are grounds Tor
suspicion, there will be danger that the
arbitration treaty will be rejected by
the Senate. If there is one policy upon
which the Senate is practically a unit,
it is that the Nicaragua canal shall, if
completed, be controlled by the United
States; and if it be shown that this
question might have to be submitted to
arbitration, with the casting vote in the
hands of European monarch, then
goodbye to the arbitration treaty. The
Senators who have openly protested
against the public clamor for immedi-
ate ratification of the treaty, on the
ground that it was too important a
matter to be hurriedly acted upon, re.
gard this Nicaragua canal incident as a
vindication of their position. Secretary
Olney, however, doesn't take that view
of it, and would not have been so
prompt in sending that protest TO the
Senate had he supposed that it would
cause additional delay in acting on the
treaty.

great care is used, another hook catches

it must be rearranged.
Most women begin to hook the dress
