NE\V YOSK, March 3,—Lieut. Wysd, of the French nayy, who holds the concession from the government of the Uuited States nf Colombia for the interoceanic canal, said to-day before sailing for France, kI look upon it as a great work in which all nations should take part, and particularly the Americans. Its great importance to the United States of America cannot be pverestimated. I think the work should be carried on handsome bonus. In making my contract with the Columbian government I foresaw the possibility of forming a com* pany in the land of stars and stripes, and to do so is my dearest wish in in accordance with the people of this country. In the position I occupy I must see that eve.vthing is done in accordance with the concession I have obtained. If aiiy attempts are made in other directions in my own interests and that of those vested in me, we must protect our rights for time to come. SHOULD DE LESSEPS SUCCEED IN FORM
ING A COMPANY
he will, in all probability, be clected president. In his position of president he would, of course, receive a the future. My influence with De Lesseps is not to-day what it was formerly, cheifiy because from tne first time that gentleman undertook to form the compa* ny our views on many points have not coincided, and also because among those who surround him there are some whose presence i6 much to be regretted. My immediate interest* lie in the financial success of De Lesteps, but we have more extensive rights than he has, and more time .to accomplish a gigantic undertaking.
