Johnson, a memebr OF the Nicaragua

year. This will mean no action by tn,

intention of those who prevented any
definite legislation at the last session.
1t is said that the administration is
not concerning itself very much about
the lapse of rights and concessions of
the United States government. because
congress has had opportunity to act
and failed. and the responsibility, if
there should be no further concession
obtained, will not he upon the admin
istration. Meanwhile, where favorable
negotiations can be forwarded, our
state department will give the canal
favorable attention.
