ENGLAND FAVORS A, CANAL.


Indies and other British possessions.
This. while in line with the views latter
ly attributed by capable dispatches to
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt, was so at variance with the
British governments experience of the
American attitude that they now regard
it in the light of n quid pro quo FOR what
they believe to be Il concession over the
Nicaraguan territory.
Some papers say Lord Lansdowrc has
tamely given up inherent rights without
any return, which is strenuously denied
on the foregoing grounds.
What is even more interesting l. thc
fact that inner circles of the cabinet are
not nearly so sure OF the acceptance of
the convention as are some of the lead
ing papers on both sides of the water.
When the terms are announced it Is
feared that ssome members of the Senate
may still find objections, and that the
forecasts so far published, alleging too
sweeping concessions" on the part of
Great Britain, may have delct,rious
effect. For instance, the deduction that
the proposed treaty in any way rcatiirms
or extends the scope of the Monroe Doc
trine, meets with a denial by the For
eign Office. For these and other reasons
Lord Pauncefote is not likely to a,ix
his signature to the document until a
majority of the Senate shall have had
full opportunity for studying Great Brit
aims proposal.
In the meanwhile there exists here u
spirit of Indifference, and a feeling that,
after all, the new treaty may be pigeon
holed on account of some unexpected
Senatorial objection, though this devel-
opment would create the kecnest disap-
pointment despi,. its present stoical am
ticipation. From u diplomatic source
there has lately emanated private ru-
mors that the Suez Canal Company is
using financial and other influence to
prevent an agreement being reached in
regard to the Nicaragua canal. 1t has
been further reported thai this powerful
corporation has Joined hands with sew
eral leading American interests alleged
to be opposed to the construction of this
latter waterway. The Associated Press,
learns however, that Investigations car
lied on here and elsewhere that IL il not
an entirely disintorosted party. though
the head of one of the British State De-
partments admitted that the Nicaragua
canal would probably rob the Suez canal
of all its Far Eastern trade. The British
government is the largest stakeholder in
the Suez canal, hut IL does not appear
that financial interest ever entered into
the discussions of the Nicaragua canal,
