only feasible route for such a canal ia
by way of Nioamgua, and points ont
fiat the conventions of the two great
political parties have endorsed the pro

It appears that all the engineers have
agreed in expressing a deoided prefer
ence for the Nicaragua route, because,
among other reasons, only 26 miles of
the entire dietanoe ol lijji miles from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ooen throuuh

the gulf states have mdergone a depres

nothing could be of greater immediate
advantage than the canal in relieving
