NO PROTEST MADE
BY THE GOVERNMENT.
United States Merely Wants the
Status Quo Maintained a. to
NicaPawua Canal.

WASHINGTON, Nov. at Is stated at
the state department that cur government
has not protested against the action OF tho
Nicaraguan government in granting con-
cession for the building OF the Nicaragua
canal to Eyre and Cragin after the expira-
ton Of the Maritime Company's cbnces-
sion next October
What tha Department. has done Is not OF
recent date, and consists eo,ely OF the MAX
ing Of representations to the Nicara guam
authorities to the effect that the United
States deemed 1t only fair and proper that
the status quo should be maintained in
matters relating to the Nicaraguan canal
until the board headed by Admiral Walker
has had a chance to report and congress
an opportunity to consider that report.
This Is automatically something very
different from protest The reason that
this acton Is taken Is that the making OF
new concession by the Nicarag guam gov
eminent. even though IT will take effect
only upon the expiration of the present
concession to the Maritime Company,
might operate TO prevent the latter from
obtaining an extension OF It's concession, to
which it might be Justly. entitled. In the
event that congress should legislate on the
basis OF the construction OF the work un-
der the auspices of the Maritime Company
this, OF course. would seriously teopardize
the interests Of the United States

rived here yesterday. after trip abroad,
this afternoon addressed the joint assembly
OF the house and senate, which last month
was brief, and was confined to an outline
of the foreign situation which confronts
the government Of the United States. The
senator said:
The foreign policy Of this country is the
greatest question before our people. Ha-
wal! and Porto Rico have been added 70 the
nations dominion, and we have become
sponsors for the good government Of Cuba.
We must assume some responsibility In the
far East. whether II be greater or less. In
my opinion the responsibilities In the far
Eas, are bound TO be greater. Many wise
and patriotic men In the country believe
we should retain no territory or control any
part OF the Philippines beyond coaling
station. or possibly a single island l rec
