Washington, Feb. 26--(Special cor respondence of The Repu5lican).-In the early part Of January the house of representatives passed the Hepburn bill, authorizing the president to ac- quire the right of way and inaugurate the work of building the Nicarag qua canal.

 Thus an issue was made between congress and the commission. body which had previously decided twice ill favor of the Nicaragua roIlte, as hat also all ether competent boards and engineers who have critically examine the merits of these routes from 2 dis interested standpoint Even the last commission was divided as to the bet ter route, but 1T appears from the tes- timony now taken by the senate com mission on interCceanic canals. tha, to avoid creating ap issue in congress which might cause another pretezt for inaction, the report was made unaui- nous. but with a statement O the req sen therefor.
 De Lesseps himself admitted year4 ago that if a canal with locks were to be built. Nicaragua was the prope7 route, but his interests as well as thos1 of the French people Were involved in the Panama speculation. Already about S21O,GCG00 have been expended and over twenty years have passed in vain ef- forts to build q waterway connecting the oceans and now that it has again failed and the company is unable to raise more money it is proposed tc turn 1t over to the United States with less than Cne-third Of the Work done and that the least difficult and ex- pensive part
