NO BAR TO GREAT CANAL Claytaa-Balwar Traaty Will Not Stan la tba way. New York, Jan. 20. A special to the Herald from Washington says: It was aaid tonight by a member of the foreign relation committee that an understanding exist between the Uni ted State and Great Britain under which thl government can proceed with the construction of the Nicaragua canal without reference to the provis ion of the Clayton-Bolwer treaty. There ia no doubt that since the nego tiation for the abrogation of the Clay-ton-Bnlwer treaty failed, and since the agitation of the construction of the canal haa been taken up by congress, a discussion ha occurred between the two government, and it ia understood that Great Britain has given this country assurances that it need not let the convention' of 1850 stand ia the way of action. It ha been known for ft year that Great Britain wa willing to abrogate the convention on condition that ahe receive concessions in the Alaska boundary controversy, and it 1 poisi ble, if she has made the statement credited to her, she has coupled it with the understanding that .her right else receive consideration in where twill return for her concessit.

WHEELER'S SEAT IN THE HOUSE If Ha Trias ta Oevapy It tha Oaaeral May Ba Dlsappolatad. New York, Jan. 20. A special to the Time from Washington aaya: If Gen- real Joseph Wheeler expects to return to Washington to take aeat in con gress without, further formality, it looks a if he would meet witn cusap- potntouent. Inquiry ha been made since the announcement that he had been relieved: from further duty in the Philippines, and it ia found that there is very general agreement on both aide of the bouse that it has been clearly shown by the examination of the case of Low, and other precedents, that ne ha forfeited his right to ft seat ia cob- Drees, and that the only thing open to I him ia to go back to bia district and seek re-election if he desires to continue ia service in congress. No doubt is entertained that, if he seeks re-election at a special election to fill the vacancy, he will be returned to congress, perhaps without oppose tlon. but it will be held by the house, according to the best authorities in both parties that the aeat is now vacant and will remain so until special elee tiont haa been held. Some of his frienda in the house hope that he may be Induced not to make claim to the eat, but to go at once before hie peo ple for re-election. They think he would win greater distinction by this course and. if re-elected, he would be entitled to pay for the entire term from .v . ,-t . -i-f.tnd tn tha March 1 4 last, asany one elected to the vacancy would be. MUST REBUILD TRACK. aa Kile af Northern Pacific la Fotlateh Valley. Lewiston, Idaho, Jaa. 19. The Northern Pacific traia service out of Lewiston is completely paralysed. It ia doubtful if another train will leave this point or arrive here for 15 days No such utter demoraliaation has ever taken place in the history of the system from St. .Paul to the Facino coast. More than 25 mile ot track has been washed out, and will have to be rebuilt at ft tremendous cost There is no way of estimating the losa, but it will be enormous. The whole Fotlateh valley haa been washed cleaa by the flood, and not a bridge remains to show where thy roadbed once waa. As an indication of how complete ft ruin has been wrought, the original profile of the road haa been called for by the con tractimr engineers before they can be gin to rebuild. 1 Andrew Gibson, chief of the con etructimt engineers on the Clearwater Short Line, haa been ordered to annul all work1 on the new line and take a fore ot 1,000 men aad four complete work trains to the scene of the disaster. Why Whaalor Is Returning. New York, Jan. 20. A special from Washington to the Herald says: No doubt exists In the minds of friends of Brigadier-General Joseph Wheeler that his return from the Philippines in com- oliahoe with hia own request is due to the failure of General Otis to give him active service in the field. In oertaln quarters an effort ia made te-ftttribute General Wheeler's return to inability to stand the climate and to hia age. In refutation of the former, hia friends point to ft statement he made after visiting the American lines, 'the impression that the new country ia unhealthy is wrong." Regarding hia aire, it ia pointed out that he ia only about year older than General Otla. The order to General Wheeler to re turn were cabled about a week ago. All Lines Pooled. Chicago. Jan. 90.

A special from New York says: The dispute between the Northern Paciflo and the O. R. & N. Co., over the right of the respective roads to ex tend their lines ia the Clearwater terri tory ia Idaho, has been settled, and the Northern Facific is master ot tne situa tion. The O. R. & N.

Formal announcement of the two roads will be deferred until February 5, when the official time of the six months' truce between them will ex pire, but the papers in the matter are practically ready for signature, the fight ia ended, and there will be no more trouble. The termination of the Clearwater difficulty marks the end of one of the most bitter railroad wars ever waged ia thl country. Every phase of rail road politics, diplomacy and force waa brought into play by the line inter ested. The Union Pacific took up the question ia dispute. Ia order to facil itate an amicable settlement the rsortn ern Pacific offered the use of its Port land Tacoma line to the Union Pacific In exchange for similar track privileges nn tha (Vilnm hia. and the Union Paciflo was offered the alternative of accepting the proposition or having the Northern pacific parallel the line of the O.

An Idea of the high hopes entertained in tne Trans vaal republlo of the outcome of the war with Great Britain is given in a letter written by E. Houthakkor, as sistant stationmaster at Johannesburg, to his sister ia Brooklyn. The letter was aent in November by way of Lo renzo Marques. The letter saya in part: "We are getting used to it a bit now. Since October 15 no more letters reached us from beyond the Transvaal. A solitary cable dispatch manages to come through occasionally, but then it is a week old. At first I still main tained correspondence with Cape Town, but that ia no more possible now. The Boers are scoring an enormous success, and they have already conquered the biggest part of Natal. They are push ing already into Cape Colony, wbre they are Joined by the burghers. Kim berley is likewise completely surround' ed, as well aa Mafeking, while ia the northern Dart of the Transvaal the Boer are already beyond our bound aries. On every side the British are getting a good thrashing. The internal arrangements here are excellent. All the English have left the country. Order ia beautifully maintained. The Boers still remaining may be seen daily leaving for their various commands. "Johannesburg now 1 fearfully quiet. All the male population ha been drafted into a special constabu buy. No one ia allowed out ' after 9 P. M. With the exception of 10 mines, which are being worked by the government, all the mine on the rand are shut down. Up to the present 1,500 English are prisoners, among whom are 50 offi cers, and 6,000 are slain. Our loss does not amount to 200. including the dead and wounded. It sounds like a mira cle. It etill looks doubtful who will come out ultimate conqueror, but things look now the bughers stand good chance. No fighting haa occurred in their own country. The supply of food is plentiful. The English sol diers are not worth much and surren der easily. Already two of their gen erals are dead. Cape Colony will re volt. "No doubt it will surprise yon to see me having changed thus, but that could not be otherwise, after having witnessed everything. It is now clear that Chamberlain's sole aim has been for three year to make war against the Transvaal and obtain possession of its territory." Taqal Nation to Make a Last Stand. Chicaco. Jan. 20.

HARD FIGHTISG ON THE HILLS Boers Forced Steadily Back From Kop je (a Kopje Seem to Be Short of Ammunition. Spearman's Camp, Jan. 23. After 10 hours of continuous and terrible fire yesterday, Generals Hart and Clery ad vanced 1,000 yards. The Uoeis msin tained an irregular fire during the night, but the British outposts did not reply. Thl morning at daybreak the Boers opened a stiff fire. The British stood to the guns where they had slept ana an engagement was renewed vigor ously. The field artillery poured shrap nel into the enemy'a trenches. A rumor that Ladysmith bad been relieved enlivened the British, who sent up a ringing cheer. This was taken for an advance.
