The United States and Great Britain, it was definitely learned, have reached an amicable agreement respecting the operations of the Clayton-Bplwer treaty as affecting'the right of construction and control by the United States of the proposed Nicaraguan canal. Great Britain agrees to a modification of the treaty by which it practically relinquishes any claims respecting a legal control of the Nicaraguan canal after it shall have been constructed. The result therefore is to eliminate that ft-ature of the treaty bearing on the subject of dual control and to. leave the United States free to construct, and thereafter control this great interoceanie waterway.
