it is probable that before these lines are printed the bill will have passed the Senate. The views of many of the leading members of the House of Representatives arc to the effect that the bill will pass the House, but of this it is too early to form a definite opinion. Of one thing the country may rest assured, England will never be permitted to build that Canal, be- cause this country cannot afford to be hndged in, around and about, by English guns, as we would be were this great highway placed nn- der her control.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30, 1S97.- TfN ;sbate the past week relative tJtnaNic caragua Canal, was brought to a sudden and almost dramatic adjournment for three days. The situation is about as follows and if our readers will examine map of Central America they will better understand and will see that Costa 2Rca lies South and to the East of Nicaragua, Honduras and San Sal Sador lies North, Northeast, and Northwest of Nicaragua. The canal commences on the gulf side at Grey town, which is at the mouth of the San Juan River; this r!ver for the most part is supposed to be the boundary line between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, but this boundary line is in dispute. The concessions made to the Canal Company were made by Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
 During the past year the Republics of Nicaragua, Honduras and San Salvador have formed coalition, and now style themselves the Great Republic of Central America; the Ministers which used to represent zach of these three Republics here were recalled and one Minister sent to represent the three; his name is J.
 D. Rodiguez. This gentlemen wrote letter to Secretary of State. Olney. informing him the Great Republic considered for reasons which he stated at considerable length, that tIY,eanaI Company had forfeited alt of their rights and concessions, which had been granted by Nicaragua, and intlmated that the further proceed ings of Congress were unnecessary in trying to rehabilitate the Nicaragua
