Canal Prospects Brighter.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Journal sends assurance that
just as soon as the national Senate
passes the canal bill, which has al
ready gone through the House, Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica will negotiate the
treaties which viii enable our govern
ment to build the isthmian canal
through the territory Of the two re-
publics. This. it is understood, is the
assurance which has reached our state
department. What it means is that
Nicaragua and Costa Rica are disposed
ID join hands heartily with the United
States in Fastening the great new I'M
proof Of its good faith by cancelling
the troublesome concession to the era
gin-Eyre syndicate which was a STUN
bling block in the path Of the canal
The Nicaragua government has done
this at the very first opportunity, with
an apparent eagerness to win the good
Will of the American people. The state
department is convinced that Nicar-
aqua now believes that the canal can
be constructed only by the United
States, ana that the granting Of pri-
vate concessions merely postpones the
active prosecution Of this great work"
Meanwhile Nicaragua and Costa Rica
have settled their boundary dispute
and are living on terms Of unaccustom-
"a harmony. In the Senate the canal
bill has been made a special order for
Dec 10. That means that il has the
right of way over other legislation
Now that both parties have specifically
indorsed the project this bill ought to
pass without long delay, and it is
quite possible that the requisite trea-
ties with Nicaragua ana Costa Rica
will be negotiated and ratified before
March 4. 50 that the actual beginning
of this American waterway may be a
crowning achievement of the first Nc
Kinley administration.
