Pressing Great Britain.

Washington dispatches say that a majority of senators are resolved to pass the House Nicaragua canal bill at this session of Congress. These senators say they will give the British government until Feb. 15 to consider the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty. If England does not ratify it by that time they will pass the canal bill anyhow. These senators seem to believe that they can thus “force” the British government either to ratify the treaty or to suffer itself to be ejected from Nicaragua.
