way for the Panama canal is nearer
in sight than it was a few days ago.

relieved and it is supposed that Dr.
Herran, who is now secretary of the
Colombian legation here, will succeed
Choncha He has been clothed with
full authority to proceed with the ne
gotiations.

sovereignty, which has thus far held
up the negotiation of a treaty, is in
a fair way to be settled between the
new representative and Secretary Hay
