WASH LNTiTON LETTER,
f icm our Regular . Ctrrepoi;.1ont
: H n ing 8i'cnm the n.lmin
ist ration fayor for the noto
riously disreputable Panama
Urinal, the men w ho are ma
nipulating the scheme to
make millions by. unloading
the Panama Canal upon the
tJnited States are now work
ing .to create public senti
ment" in favor of the Pana
ma Canal and against the
Nicaragua Canal, and it can
not he denied that they a re
doing it f leverly. . Some high
priced brain work is being
put into article given to the
press under Washington date
lines and otherwise, in which
advantage is taken to point
out everything 'that can be
called an obstacle to the Ni
caragua Canal, and specious
reasons' Hi e neing jjiven f o r
chnngR of opinion among
Senators, and Representa
tives who favored that route.
And the most is made of the
opposition of England and
its right to oppose the con
struction of the Nicaragnan
Canal, except upon condi
tions of which it approves.
Th'i Jast reason. is also being
made, use of by the adminis
tration in an indirect way.
Tips are givn by prominent
officials to the correspond
ents of influential republican
papers, hinting at the possi
bility of political complica
tion with England, makingit
necessary to abandon the
idea of a canal over the Nica
rngua route, and, of course,
those hints are reflected more
or less in the matter sent to
Washington. As yet, neither
the Panama Press Agents,
nor the administration men
venture to use names public
ly, when speaking of Sena
tors and representatives who
hive changed their minds and
now favor the purchase and
completion of the Panama
Canal, but privately the for
mer are not so discreet.
The news of this chancre on
the part of the administra
tion towards the Nicaragua
Canal, has reached Nicarn-
gus, and theNienraguan min
ister to the United States,
who had gone home on lea ve
of absence, has hurried back
to Washington to do what
he can for the interests of his
government. He has notified
th State Department; that
his government and that of
Costa Hica, regard the proto
col they signed last year with
Secretary Hay, as commit
ting the United States to the
Nicaraguan route, and bar
ring the Panama route from
considern t ion, Tha t posi tion
is a strong one, too, but Ni
caragua and Costa Rica have
not the pull with this admin
istration that England has,
and it may not help them
any. If the administration
is not careful, it will make
this cafial question one of the
leading issues of next year's
Congressional campaign, as
there are' men in both the
Senate and House they are
not all democrats, either
who will do some talking
that will stir the country da
ting the next session of Con
gress, if the administration
usvB its influence to prevent
Nicaragua Canal legislation,
n it did at tiiri last, nession.
Then, it .sncceeded in keeping
many quiet b,rpnttingupthe
plea that it would be a viola
tion of international courte
sy to stir the matter up, while
England was considering the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty and
there will be no such plea to
use next winter.
Notwithstanding the fail
ure cf the experiment of pla
cing the Federal patromtge
of the State of South Caroli
na at the disposal of Senator
McLnurin, with the hope of
building up a white adminis
tration party in that State,
there are reasons for 'the be
lie! that the experiment is to
be extended to other South
ern States. In fact it is known
that men who have formerly
been active in the democrat
ic party in several other of
the Southern states have
lH'en Rounded to ascertain
whether they would bo wil
ling to nK8nme the. roll that
McLnurin is playing in South
Carolina in their respective
states. The responses have
not, so far, been satisfactory
hut the sounding is still go
ingon,nnd men will doubt
less be found; but outside of
administration circles, no
body really expects any seri
ou8 inroads to be made upon
Southern democracy by these
experiments, but they will vc
suit in one thing that will be
satisfactory to the white peo
pie of the South, and that
will be the abolition of the
"nigger" Federal officials.
Evidently sorao of the men
who have grown rich by put
ting the screws on the United
States government, when
they had advance knowledge
of the intention of the gov
eminent to buy something,
have been giving the owners
of the land in the vicinity ,of
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where
a naval station of the first
class is to be established
some pointers. The Naval
Board which considered the
location of the station at
Pearl Harbor, has been oi
dered to resume its sittings
at Washington, to consider
a communication from Capt.
J. F. Merry, Commander of
the naval coaling station at
Honolulu." Capt. Merry has
informed the Navy Depart
ment that the price of land
around Pearl Harbor has
been raised to such an extent
that the $150,000 appropm
ted by Congress, as the bin
it to be paid for the siter.
will not buy the land origi
nally chosf n, and that some
changes will have to be made
in the plans.
The latest officials to dis

peon trip, at public expense,
was a necessary part of h i
