TO DELAY THE CANAL.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, who writes like a
man who has the ear of the administra-
ton and knows what will be done, writes
to his paper:
ION the best authority in the Senate
1t can be stated that the isthmian canal
question. although nearer settlement at
present than ever before, will not be
definitely acted upon at this session of
Congress. This statement takes cog
nizance of the fact that the House wifi
pass the Hepburn Nicaragua Canal prob
ably this week, and that that measure
may reach the Senate before Saturday.
But when it does reach the Senate it
will rest there in the committed on in
teroceanic canals for many weeks, and
perhaps months, before any action will
be taken upon it. The reasons for this
are many. Not the least important of
them, as heretofore set forth by The
Tribune. is the definite offer of the
French Panama Canal Company to- sell
its property and concessions to the
United tSates at the valuation put upon
them by the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion, $40, coo, 600. However, great may
be the rear in the House to deal with
the canal question strictly upon it's
merits, with the new light shed on it
by the commissions careful and thor
ouSh repor and the French offer, there
is mono OF this kind of fear on either
side Of tho Senate, and that body has
made up it's MING to- deal With the ques-
ton almost de novo.'',
He then proceeds to state the steps
IN the plan of delay, to-wit: The
Presidents MESSAGE Q containing the
Panama offer Will o9be referred to the
committee Oh ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, it will
summon before it every member of the
Walker Commission. '"and this part of
the task alone may keep the committee
busy through the. session. Then en-
2ineers and others Will be summoned,
and when all the, investigation is fur
nishcd time will DC. given to print the
result and time for the country and
Senators to digest it. The article con-
cludes: -
The prediction is confidently made by
the best informed persons in Washing
ton that in the end it, will be shown
that the French proposition should be
accepted, and this country Will then pro
coed to complete the Panama canal at
a total cost OF many millions. less than
would be necessary for a cana along the
Nicaragua route. The oSenate's investi-
cation Will not be confined eyeRo TO the
two routes named. 1t will include. the
route across the istninus OF. = Darien.
which in length is only % miles. and is
declared to be fraught with ONLY one
serious engineering problem, which is

Both the Panama and Nicaracran
routes are declared to be practicable. All
the information that the Walker Com
