Mr. I.acey, in support of his motion, said that the house was confronted with the constitutional interference of the pi e sklent on a bill that had passed both houses unanimously.

Notwithstand ing this statement. Mr. Turner of de orgin thought it could be assumed surely that the President had had the advice of the .secretary of the Interior and that the latter probably had in spired the veto. One of the principal objections raised by the President was that the lands, If leased by the local authorities ot the Territory, could bo denuded of their timber." as be th.t terms of the bill it was not necessary to .submit the leases for the approval of the secretary. The vote resulted -on to :iS. more than two thirds having voted in the unintuitive, the bill was declared passed over the President's veto.

Pakis, March ,' An unexpected solution of tliu Panama canal problem is presented as a possibility of the near future lu tliu consolidation of tliu Panama company with the Nicaragua Canal company. Tho president of the latter corporation, .1. R. Rartlett, who has just left Paris for Americu, bears with him. It Is said, an agreement for the fusion of the two companies. This agreement was lormally signed here, but It is not conclusive. It is under stood that it will become opeiatlve on behalf of the Panama company when concurred in by the directors of the Nicaragua company In New York. 'L'ho agreement provides for tho ab sorption or tho Panama fmncliNeund assets, including tho railroad across the isthmus. The French company Is to receive a substantial sum or money and stock in the American corpora tion, which will proceed to cut through the isthmus via Lake Nicar agua. The inducements to the Pana ma people, besides the material con siderations, were an honorable relief from the recurring turmoil over their allairs uud the presentation to their shareholders or an interest in a more vivid concern. The Nicaragua representative, on their part, claim to arrive great ad vantage through the removal ot a pos sible future competitor and the secur ing of a monopoly of the waterway between two oceans. With thfs change in situation many bankers of (real Rritain centers, as well as of America, are prepared, it is said, to lloat the Nicaragua company s bonds'. Captain Chamberlain I ley, late sec retary of the Panama Canal Company, :iid formerly Hrltlsh acting consul at Panama, said today: "I have spent seven years in Panama, from tho out set of the work till Its suspension. inn i Know every inch of the ground from Rio (irundc to Asplnwall. 1 consider the Panama canal pro ject, in its actual condition, ow ing to the obstructions of the Culcbra mountain and the Cliagras river and the deadly climate, to be ab solutely impracticable. Kven were it to be constructed it would require for completion an amount of money lurgcr than could be raised at this time. I believe that tho Nicaragua route is practicable, and that the amalgama tion of tho two companies will be of grent advantage lo both and moreover it will I ring into friendly alliance tho moneyed interests of ' France, the I nltcd States and Fngland.'"

It Is un derstood that the Cuban resolution pending in both houses absorbed the attention at the cabinet meeting. The decision of the Senate committee on foreign relations to express the senti ment and wishes or Congress in the form tif a concurrent resolution, in stead or shaping it as a joint resolu tiou. is believed to have gratillod the administration, ir the President were to be confronted with a joint resolu tiou at this time recognizing the bel ligerently of the insurgents and even the independence of the rebels, he would bo placed in a very disagreea ble position. If lie approved tho reso lutions it would be a confession that the course pursued by our gov ernment town -d Cuba and Spain up to this time had been wrong, for it has been insisted that there has been no change in relations to parties in war fare in tuba that would warrant a change In attitude. It would also amount to a reversal of the position tnlt-en by the State department In do Haueo of some of the great Kuropean powers during the Uracil insurrection when the United States insisted that as a precedent to recognition the in surgents must have a seat of govern ment, must issue money und must have a navy. At least two or these requi sites are lacking lu tho Cuban case. (n the other hand If tliu President vetoed a joint resolution of this char acter he would be obliged to facefa storm of popular disapproval ami to make an issuu with Congress that might be fraught with the gravest consequences, for It is realized that the resolution in that case would pass over his veto. Hut by making the res olution u simple concurrent one the President will be relieved of the nec essity of announcing a decision at this timo. lie regards tho resolution as a .simple expression of tho sentiment of Congress, and as not binding upon the ftvor'llt.i vn hr.'itwdi. nw U'ntilil 1... t., .. case with a joint resolution, which has all tuo force of an act.
