Ile has had fre- quent fnterviews i recard to tho constructlon of the canal with the Secretary of Stato and the Cunal Commisslon, and all the divlomatic ques- tiona naturally arlsing under the clreumstances liave been fully consldered. The result hus been the wegotlution of a treaty on the subject, which will bo transmitted to the Scnate for fts consderation und rutificatlon, it it approves of 1t, withina few daya, TUE MAIN PEATURES of this treaty are us fullows: It provides Jor the construction of a ship- canal from the Atlantle coust of Nlearagua, at OF near. town, to the Bun Juan Ilver.

Along the coast, both on the Gulf and an the Pacltie, the neatral territory is toextend 100 iles north and south of the ports und harbors that may be neeessary for the canal, *“‘The treaty alsa dectares the “ports of Gireyton und Brito free, snd _provides that, (n the event of a war between Nicuragua and any onie of the Powers which participats in the coni- struction of the canal, all vessels and uroperty of all théxe Powcers shiall bo exembt from cap- ture, blockade, or any other cmburrassment on the neatrat territory and waters connected with the canal by elther of the belligerents. The property of private companfes engaged {n the coustructlunof the canal is aleo cuaranteed full protection by the Nicaruzian Governinent.

The maritimo nations of Eu- rope, ao far aa they have been heand from, havo proved their readiness to co-operate with the bullml States, and to recognize the Internation- al character of the work by ncconding strict netitrality to it, and some of “them by partici- {p‘utlng in'the expense of construction, ™ Ile says hat THR ACTUAL COST OF TIIF WONK, acconting to the catimates, would be about 850, 000,000, though the round sum of §100,000,000 was the one stated, in order that o gross &um might be given which would not in any ton- tingeney bo exceeded. He nays that he is per- sonnlly fTamiiar with the Nicaraguan route, and can hiinself testify to its ]vrm~llu\mllty; that he crossed tho {sthmus at that point some yenrs azoon his way te join his cosnmand in "Calt- forntn; that the level of the Iake fs not more than 107 fect above tile on . the.

In a recent conversationthe President nlluded to the other routes over which caveful instru- mental surveys had al¢o been inade, and each of which possesscs #ome advantages, None, ho #oid, has ns many advantages as the Nicaraguan route, Tho Uresident. pald that the United States, for morc than half u century, has had an absorbing intercst In an INTEIOCEANIC CANAL ACROSS TIIE ISTHMUS} we hiave finally been able to prove the practica- Lility of the work ut the most favorable polots, and he felt contident in Aufln;: that the people of this great Republie will be enger to do what- ever Is proper o wid 1o fts constructlon in ac- cordance with thebroadest {mnclnlu of common benefit to all natlons and to all peoples. fe continued the cunversation on the aubject by lnfi‘]m: that the_constraction of this canul will bring Great Dritaln” within eday eommuni- eatlon with the entire west coast of Ameriea, furnishing 1n place of the stormy pussags around Cape llorn, with healwinds, o short American route, with fale winds and good weather, It will inako the products of Britlsh Columbla and of Central Amerlea doubly valuas Dley and It will bring the wheat products of Callforula more dircetly amd competitively Into British markets, thus cheapening and givine stubility to the pricoof breadstitfTs, which will boan incaleulable advantage for the masses of the people of o manufucturing and commercial country. And whils this is trut, he salilit Is uqunll{demuns(mble by an dnspeetion of the map of the world that the great lines of com- mierclal Intercourse and of clvllization are di: tiniet fram cacti, atid theretore do niot lnvite any wp]mli‘:lnl rivalry botween tho Fastern and Western Isthmus ship-canals.

By our peo- graphleal position and relative proximity to the lsthmus aud the countries beyond; he thinks weo have a greater interest than' any European Power in the’ construction of this great work, The commerce of the whole world, however, hins a lurge interest In L, and the cost of fta construction and {ts profits, as well 18 cther consequent ndvantuges, should be shared in common by ally this uccessarily in- volves & broad neateality for tho cannl nod its approaches, a neutrality Lo by supported clther pusstvely or actively, ns the natlons muy best cxert thelr forces. - 1o thinks that o solutton of the diplomatle feutures of tho enterprise may be consldercd a success.
