NICARAGUAN CANAL.
The CragiH-Eyre Grant to Succeed

construct a canal VIII become operative.

action concerning the new condition.

change No decision 10 make represen-
tatiOns TO Nicaragua with view To Sc

il is stated, and nothing will probably
be done in connection with the matter
until the report of the Inter-Ocean Canal
Commission on the most advantageous
route Tor an artificial waterway connect
ing the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans
has been laid before the Secretary Of
State.
The rival Nicaragua Canal possessions.
held respectively by the Maratime Canal
Company and the Cragin-Grace syndicate.
came to the front again yesterday, when.
according to the decree of the Nicara-
guam Government dated oct 81. 1895. the
concession granted 10 the Marat.me Canal
Company came 90 an end, the syndicate
succeeding TO the older company rights
and privileges. The Maratime Canal
C0mpanys representatives dispute, how
ever, that their concession has termi-
mated, and it was stated on their behalf
that they were entitled to an extension.
IL was sad that as the original concess-
ion granted by the Nicaraguan Govern
mont In 1857 allowed ten years to con-
struct the canal that period 10 date from
the end OF two and half years allowed
for beginning and completing the SUR
yeys and as the concession stipulated
that should events OF main force arise
duly justified and sufficient 10 impede the
regular progress OF the works during the
period OF the said ten years. an extension
shall be granted equal 10 the time that
may have been lost. II az the expiration
OF the ten years aforesaid the works
should not be completed the republic
binds Itself TO concede new extension
There had been events Of main force"
the representative of the company said,
namely. tcn REGULATIONS i'm Nicaragua. the
panic years and the fact that the United
States Government had forbidden all con-
struction work since the appointment OF
the Walker Commission about three years
ago.
For .the syndicate side of the matter f.
F. Cragln was quoted as follows: "rhe
concession % the old company lapses to-
day. and our syndicate assumes technical
control Of the only existing canal con-
cesslon. At present We SHAH probably
not undertake any construction WORK pu,
