Nicaragua Seems Willing.

From the G. Louis Republic.
Nicaragua is apparently willing 70
cede to the United States government
all the territory needed for the right
of way of the isthmian canal
This is the information which has
been received in Washington by advo-
Gates and friends of the project for con
stracting the canal under direct super
vision and control of the United States
1t may have an important bearing upon
pending canal measures in both houses.
Since congress convened there has
been strong tendency on the part OF
those who want the canal constructed
70 insist upon absolute government
ownership as the only safe plan for
entering upon work of such magni
tude. Those opposed to the canal and
desirous OF delay have cloaked their op-
position under this proposition. If.
however. Nicaragua is really willing to
concede the territory necessary for
ownership and control by this country
as reported. the plan probably will re =
ceiye an Impetus in the senate and
house.
