Securing Right Of Way for
Nicaraguan Canal.
United States Given Exclusive Right
from Atlantic to Pacific.
\ WAESHIP TO FRESHEN MOHOC-
cos FAILING MEMORY.

Washington, Dec. e.-Secretary Hay,
for the government of the United
states. and Senior Correa. the Nicara-
guam minister. for his own government.
Saturday. signed a treaty whereby the
latter government comedies to the gov
eminent of the United States the nee
cssary rights and privileges within her
bestowal for the construction of the
Nicaraguan canal.
This removes one of the chief obsta-
cles before the construction of the ca =
nal by the United States government
The element of private corporation
rights has entered into the problem for
wears, and many have thought it i'm
possible for the United States TO secure
the right TO build except at very
heavy cost in buying out canal COM
panies.
This action of Nicaragua is taken in
anticipation of congressional action up
on the pending Nicarasuan canal bill.
and the HayPaunceforte treaty.
Pending the submission of the docu-
ment TO the Senate. which body must
ratify the agreement. its terms will not
be made public.
II is understood. however. that gen.
trally Nicaragua grants To the United
States government the exclusive right
IN construct and operate the canal be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific across
Nicaragua, including the free use Of
the San Juan river and OF Lake Mana
ssla as part Of the water course. Mic
arartIa is also to rid herself of any
outstanding treaties that would in any
way tend to abrdgc the privileges to
La acquired by the United States.
II is understood that Nicaragua con-
codes TO the United States full au-
thority to police the canal. Nicaragua
is 10 receive in compensation Il certain
amount of the securities of the canal
construction company, and although IL
is not possible now to learn the figure
set down in the treaty. ii is believed 10
approximate $5,oo0oo0.

Washington. Dec. street railway

the passage of heavy electric tram ears
upon asphalt pavementS. Hitherto. he
saws these endeavOrS have been with
out definite result, but much has been
said lately in praise OF Il system which
is shortly to be subjected TO practi-
cal test in Berlin.
Contrary to ordinary practice, con-
tinueS Consul Hughes, in which the
tram rails are laid immediately upon 4
foundation of concrete and indirect
contract with the super-impoSed as
phalt. the new method consists in lay
ing the rails upon Il bed of coarse
gravel and running q line OF nara
wood blocks along either side. Expert
cncc has shown that ordinary pave
mcnts with gravel and stone rounda-
tons in place of concrete. offer the
greatest resistance TO the influence OF
electric cars. The new method IS also
relied upon To reduce the noise caused
by the cars running over the lines.

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
When and Where Did the Human
Race Originate?

In endeavOring to determine in what
particular part of the world the human
race developed for the readers of
The Nineteenth Century Samuel
Waddington finds it necessary, first,
to consider its antiquity; and though
hc speaks as 4 man Of letters and not
as an original investigator of these
scientific problems his attempt to show
that man dates back more than 4 mil
lion years Is not without considerable
force.
From the fact that no human bone.
have been found which clearly precedc
the Quaternary period it has been sup
posed that the race could not well BE-
more than n hundred thousand years
old. But Lyell has remarked upon tho
singular disappearance of bones which
are comparatively modern. Thousands
of Dutch and Spanish soldiers persisted
in the lake of Harlem only three
centuries ago. Yet when the Dutch
government drained that body of
water in 1853, not q solitary skeleton
could be discovered there, although
fragments of ships were exhumed. If
in so short n period as this bones can
be resolved into their original ele-
ments. how nearly hopeless it is to
seek for those belonging to an era
thousands or millions of years earlier
The argument drawn from such Il
failure, therefore. is extremely weak
especially since stone implements and
chips left in the process of manufac-
turing them have been discovered in
deposits that appear to antedate the
Glacial Epoch. which extended from
about 240. 900 to $4,000 years ago.
Darwin thought it possible that
primitive man existed in the earliest
of the three divisions OF the Tertiary
period. the Eocene and Wallace is;
confident that such was the case. Hulk
ley, touching upon the ancestors of
man rather than man himself, de-
clared that they should be looked for
