U. $. and England Reached an Agreement

u. 5. and England Reached an Agreement
The United States and Great Britain,
it is definitely learned, have reached
an amicable agreement respecting the
operations of the Clayton-Bulwert treaty
as affecting the rights of construction
and control by the United States of
the proposed Nicaragua canal. The
result marks the termination of con-
ferences between the officials of the
state department and Lord Pauncefote
of fully years duration, during which
number of meetings were held and
the subject fully discussed by the rep
resentatives of the governments inter
ested. Great Britain agrees to a mod
ification of the layton-Bulwer treaty
by which she practically relinquishes
any claims respecting dual control of
the canal after it shall have been con-
structed. The result, therefore, is to
eliminate that feature of the treaty
bearing on the subject of dual control,
and leave the United States free to
construct and thereafter control this
great interoceanic waterway.
From the same authoritative quarter
it is ascertained that England has
made no demands for a quid pro quo
for her abandonment of whatever
rights she may have had under the
treaty, and which she now promises to
relinquish.

There is no clue at this writing as to
who Gov. Goebel's assassin was. A few
years ago Mr.. Goebel shot man by
the name of John Sanford, and it is be-
ieved by some that the killing of
Goebel was simply to avenge Sanford's
death, and that the assassin choose the
present time, thinking the political
situation would furnish sort of a
