I New York. Nov. 9.—A dispatch to tiie Herald from Washington says: In President McKinley's message to con gress will be a very strong and urgent appeal for immediate legislative ac tion for the construction of the Nica- rftgua canal under government direc tion. The ~ _ preside.it will point oat that our new connections in the Pa cific and in the West Indies make it imperative for the United States to build and control the great internation al waterway, and that delay in author izing its construction will jeopardize the chances for American control in the future. President McKinley fully appre ciates the difficulties in the way of securing prompt action, but he and other canal advocates also appreciate that failure this year may mean per manent failure. Henoe preparations are going forward for one of the most bitter fights ever waged in the interest of the canal. The action of the Nicaragua govern ment in granting a new concession for the construction of the canal conditional upon the forfeiture of the contract with the Maritime Canal Company in Octo ber next has added new complications to the difficulties in the way of legisla tion. The authorities consider that it adds another element of opposition to prompt action on the pending Morgan bill, which contemplates the construc tion of the canal under government direction on the basis of the concession gianted to the Maritime Canal Com pany. The Morgan bill in all its essen tial features is understood to have the indorsement of the administration. It is supposed that the new company will be inimical to the Maritime Canal Company. It is assumed if it does not succeed in sellingout to the concession aires, it will exert its influence to pre vent action by congress this winter in order that its contract may go into effect next October. Besides opposi tion from this new company, friends of the Morgan bill will have the powerful Huntington and Panama canal intei- ests arrayed against them. Friends of the latter party are already in Wash ington, preparing fur a campaign against the Nicaragua canal. J. L. Morgan is to be a factor in the coming legislative war. It is stated that while in Nicaragua last winter he made an arrangement with President Zelaya to look after the interest of Nic aragua In this country. Michigan Judge Killed. A Murdernn« Boatswain.
