IT Is no surprise that the English
Government refuses to accept. the
amended Hsy-Pauncefote treaty. We
have been unable to see how that
Cover Il ment could do so and still re.
tain its self respect as well as the
respect Of other nations. Ii becomes
necessary now for tedious negotia-
tons to be carried on between the
two governments, and uOless there is
some way devised by which the Fog
lish can crawl out in decent shape,
we may expect to see the negotiations
hang for many years. THE FREE
LANCE heartily espOuses the cause OF
the Nicaragua canal scheme and its
being owned and controlled absolutely
by this government, and We hops that
it will ultimately result in this, but,
as we have before said, If we were
English We could not consent to this
because of former treaties which have
not expired or been abrogated. A
battle of diplomacy is now on and
while we hope for American success
the past history of such things would
point to British triumph.
