The Nicarangna Intcroceanic Canal.
New Yoitir, Feb. 8. Tbo Tribune's Wash
Idrhju eectal says: Negotiations in relation
lo the Iuteroctauio canal treaty between the
United States and tbe government of 'Nica
ragua, have encountered an obstacle In bu
unexpected quarter, and one which threat
ens to deltu it. While tbe government waa
perfecting this important diplomatic paper,
and almost ready to transmit it to tbe Senate
for ratification, information waa lecetved,
though not In olbcial form, that Ibe govern
ment of Nicaragua bad entered Into a con
tract with Harry Meiggs, the celebrated
American railroad contractor, on tbo "Oat
coast of South America, to build an inter
oceanic uiual over the ronto laid down by
tho Auoeric.au surveying parly across its ter
ritory. The consideration Meiggx is to re
ceive, it is reported, is tho grant of largo
privileges, and gift of immense, tracks of land
lying along tho routed! tbe canal, aud which,
should it be successfully completed, would
bo of uutobi value. As soon as this unex
cled and somewhat surprising informa.
llou was received, Dr. Adum Cardinal, spec
ial commisslnutrof the Nlcaraguan govern
ment was Informed if tho fact. Ho called
upou the President to-day und expressed
bimsglf as much surprised at thu extraordi
nary, news, aud assured him that bo bad
no heiitation in charactorizlni; tbe report as
entirely unfiunded, for tbo reason tiiat uo
Instructions to this tll'cct bad been oomuiu
nicHted to bim by bis government. He slid
Melgg, as well as many other", had made
various urononil Ions lo his goterument, and
while they bad been received with respect
they wcro never horiously entertained. It
uowsbeiiis, however, tht this is not the on
ly obstacle in tho way of successful negotia
tion ot this treaty. Certain demands ou the
Cart of tho Nlcaraunuti gov eminent have
ten presented, lo which it is not behaved
tbo Unitedb-iles will accods. The President
B.iid to-day he louud tho treaty was in great
danger, tioped that further negotiations be
tweeu tho two governments may jo', terml
iMloKUeoesstully. Uo siys ho feels much
interest In tnis greJt work filrlv Iw-guti, aud
that ho willeXbrt his iullueuce In every way
eon.bteul to i fiVt this result. Secretary
Fiab has la-en nqtiiisloil to call upon the
Preaideiit to morrow, v. hen tbo presont stat
of negotiations will be fully consideroi'.
Tbo lutormatlnn above reforud to is of it
character which leads to thu Inference that
the re-ixjrled uoulract, If ono bos been made,
is tho rtsult of intrigues by certain foreign
agouti at the Nnuragiiiti goverumsnt, ot
which S-ctil Coiiimivh)tier Cardinal bau
not been iulorined, Mv ery effort ot tho Uni

As tho cills for tbo mooting of tbo Union

aud lest 6omo may not understand tho oh-,
Ject,a word of explanation may bo necessa
ry. At tbo taxi session of the Union, action
wai taken looking lo a reunion of tbo two
organizilloiiM, by merging tho Union Into
tho AllhmiV), from wbonco It Is come. It
will bn reuinmhod by thosa familiar with tho

way, or delogatos from women Htiifrago
societies, or something olso, and withdrew
from Iho Alliance and organized tho Union.
Now I have no dw.iibt ol tho honesty of their
Intention, but for some causo they have lost
their veal and dr ippnij o.it, or become moro
llboral in their views, ho at tbo last session of
tho Union n resolution endorsing woman ,

thus erasing tho l.'s'. diireienco, even of
npinnm, Uatnren tho to societies. Then a
resolution for ronuiou camo up and was
unanimously ancp'-od. Heuca this call for a
mooting of toe Union :U this time aud pbire.
Some may sny, "Why unite them?" Simply
because ono suo'o iirganlaa'iou Is enough lor
all practical pnrpotoi, r.tid tho Alllnnee be
