Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasuinaton, D.C., Dee, 14.—There is 0 Brent deal of feeling among those who are near the Administration at the fact that Sec- rotary Thompson has fdentificd himself with the De Lesséps Canal scheme. A member of tho Cabinet said that the De Lesseps project was a fraud, and he very clearly left the Im- pression upon the mind of the verson he was addressing that Secretary Thompson had been selected by De Lesseps solely in order to create the Sipression abroad thot the Panama Canal Company hag the confidenco of the American people and the Government. ‘The dispatches from Europe, he safd, which state that De Lesseps Is extensively adver- tising the fact that our Seerctary of the Navy has boen made Chatrinai of: 7 Ai branch of the enterpriso are proof, pose for which Mr. ‘Thoinpson’s ¢ has been sought. * : THE CHAPO RESOLUTION OF YESTERDAY was intended to correct this impression, and. was introduced after consultation. There is no doubt that. the Administration fs very inuch displeased with Mr, ‘Choinpson’s ‘attl- tude, ‘The Crapo resolution was carefully worded, and recommends In emphatic terms tho view stated Mr. Hayes in’ his message upon the subject, Nolther the President nor any membdr of his Cabinet, withthe: possl- bie exception of Mr. Thompson, believes In the Do Lesgeps scheme, and a Cabinet officer says that any representation Jn Europe that such 1s the fact, based pon Thompson's con- eetialy with It, ls nothing less than frauda- ent, ; NICARAGUA.
