were bent upon taking serious view of the
Nicaragua Canal question apparently they
not, they would be confused by the contra
dictory views Of the New-York correspondents
Of THE Times" and THE Standard" which are
far apart as the North and South Poles, and
utterly irreconcilable THE Westminster
Gazette last night took The Standard" corre-
spondent a better guide. and sought to inter
pref the ertion of the Senate for the benefit of
English readers 1t has reached the conclusion,
with the most benevolent possible motives
toward America. that the treaty cannot be abol-
ished by being described inconvenent out
of date, and that the only practical method OF
settling the vexatous canal question is that Of
arranging some kind Of compensation for the
abrogation of the convention of 1850 The
Alaskan boundary question is named quid
pro quo and the Foreign Office was urged to
take up this method of adjusting all outstand-
ing issues with the United States. This sugges-
ton is made by the friendest English journal
in response a long and lucid defence of the
attitude Of the United States Senate by its only
advocate whose cable tolls are paid by any
English journal 1t was considered a great gain
for the American Govern when Premier
Laurier stepped aside and allowed the canal
question to be adjusted between London and
Washington without interference from Ottawa.
The best thing that the friendliest critics now
have 10 offer is omnibus settlement, in which
the abrogation of the treaty of 1850 is the single
entry with ample offsets 20 balance the account.

Canal question, thinks it would be a pity il the
good understanding between England and
America should be weakened Much has hap

well as Englishmen that they may have TO rely
upon each other in future for mutual assist
ance and to strengthen the bonds of race, Ian
