Expires. NEW YORK, Nor, t-A dlptch (0 the Herald from Washington says: Titers appears to have been good rea son for the prompt action of the Nlcar guan comrress In ratifying the new agreement entered into between Pre!, dent Zelaya and Meesr. Eyr and Cra rln for the Nkaraguan canal oonreMton. Nicaragua win reaae today to exist a a repubifo and any futur gotlon respect ing foreign concession will have to be taken by the "United States of Central America," comprising what will hereaf ter be known as the states of Honduras, Any furtlv-r negotiations between the United fltate government la regard to the Nloaraguan oanal will therefor have to be with thi new republic. Tba recent activity of Messrs. Eyre and Crsgln In securing the agreement wllb Ue preal dent of Ntcarsgu and the promptness displayed by tho Nlaaraguan congress In ratifying the administration can there fore be well understood. A understood hera thete gentlemen have not actually obtained the conces sion for building the canal this I not admissible under the present terms of the contract with, the Maritime Canal Compiiny but an option, which gives them the right to construct the canal, whe- the contract now held by the Mari time Canal Company lapses. But what ever may be the technical name for the agreement which has been recently en tered Into, there seem little doubt that Mcsrs. Eyre and Cmgtn have obtained from the Nlcarnguan government an Im portant and valuable privilege which will hav t be considered when the ttm comes for the United State government to take bold of the project. AftT today the national and Inter national affair of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador will be conducted by a pre"'knal government. This govern ment will be Inaugurated today and will be located at A ma pa la, Honduras. In accordance with the new constitu tion recently agreed upon by tho three countries, a provisional government com prising a delegate from each of the three static .o sit at the point named. Is to have control of all national and Inter national affairs until March 13 next when a president of "Estado Unldo de Cen tro America" 1 to be elected. The del egate from the thrwe countries which will nnreufter be known a states are Dr. Callago. Salvador. Dr. Coronel. Ma tus. Nicaragua and Dr. Ugarte, Hon duras. The president respectively of Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua will hereafter be known a governor and congresses will become legislature, as with our own states. Th granting of another company the right to build tha Nlraraguan canal provided the contract now held by the Maritime Cannl Company lapses a a result of failure to carry out It term. Nlcsiragua has greatly embarrassed the administration. Through minister Merry, stationed at San Jose, ami the American consul at Managua, the authorities have learned of the presentation of the agreement entered Into by h'.m with Messrs. Eyre and Cragln to the Nlcoraguan legislature and of the resulting developments. No details, however, have yet come offlcnlly. The embarrassment of the adminlstra-t'.-r. Ilea In the fact that It has Indorsed the project of the Maritime CunnI Com pany and that bill are now pending In congress providing government aid In the construction of the canal, one of which it is expected will pass during the coming session. From the way the authorities talk. It Is evI'Vrt to their mlnita that the new company Interested In the canal has simply come in nnd complicated tho situ ation and one of the officials said that ho believed it could ho brought out and that It wos to obtain fell a result that it negotiated tho agreement It had made with tho Nlcarnguan governmen.. Ar ticle 4S of tho concessions given to the Nicaragua! Canal Company provides that if at tho expiration of ten years "Tho work shall not bo completed so as to have1 the maritime communication be tween tho two oceans opened, in con sideration of the groat capital the com pany may have Invested In the enter prise and of the good will and ability It may have shown and the difficulties encountered, tho republlo binds Itself to concede a new extension. ' Furthermore the contract provides that "The state binds Itself to make any sub sequent concession for the opening of tho canal between tho two oceans during the terms of the present concessions."

L-Benator Hoar, In a political speech. tonlght,dlscus- sed the Question of territorial expansion at length and declared his opposition to that policy. Speaking of the Spanish war he said. 'Let us not accept the duties and re sponsibilities of this victory In any tem per of vulgar, vainglory, still less of vul gar greed of power or gain. The United States come to these oppressed people, east and west, as a great deliverer. To deal with this occasion by talking about coaling stations and trade advantage degrades and beHttle it. We have not overthrown 8pain, we have not Imperilled the precious live of our sons, that we ntay add to our Dossesslons, or that w may take money out of our new relations, but vet the first duty of the American people Is to themselves, and when I say this I say In no spirit of selfishness, nor of Indifference to the welfare of man kind. "On the contrary. I believe that' the highest service the American people can render to mankind and to liberty is to preserve the untainted and unchanged re public aa It came to us from the fathers. "In my opinion we are today in a great danger a greater danger than we have encountered since the pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The danger is that we are to be transformed from a republic, found ed on a declaration of Independence, and guided by the counsels of Washington, into a vulgar, commonplace empire, founded upon physical force. "I for one am not dazzled by the ex- amDle of England. The invitations of England, which have ennbled her to cover successfully distant colonies and subject states, are founded, a Mr. Gladstone pointed out, on the doctrine of equality. If we are to outstrip England In national power. It must be by pursuing our own path, and not by following in hers. 'It Is said that Porto Rico Is already ours. It may be that Porto Rico is to become ours. But there is no author.ty from under the Constitution of the United States to acquire any foreign territory save by a treaty approved by the senate by a two-thirds-vote, or by an act of legislation in which the president and house of representatives and senate must unite."
