The proposed treaty between the
United States and the Republic of
Nicaragua has attracted considerable
attention of late. 1t provides for q

Republics, and by the terms of the.
treaty the former agrees to protect
the integrity of the Iatter's territory.
The canal is to be built by the United
States, and owned by them and the
Republic of Nicaragua, the former to
have the controlling interest in its
management. 1t is to follow the,
most available route to be selected
by The United States, Nicaragua CIV
ing the free use of all lands waters
and places within her borders for
the construction of the canal, and of
a railway and telegraph line substan-
italy parallel to it. A strip of land
two and a half miles wide, with the,
canal in its centre, is tu be set aside
for the work and owned by the two

the canal will be las miles, btA Lake
Nicaragua will form 120 miles of the
route, leaving only 25-miles of canal

completed in five years. The treaty

How THEY TREAT MINISTERS.

1t appears that the congregation of
Pilgrim Baptist Church Of this city, in
vited Elder Brown of Minneapolis, to
preach for them on last sunday, and
after having preached in the morning,
none Of the members were courteous
enough to invite him to their homes to
dinner, or even to spend his leisure
hours, until evening service; now this
shows bad for the Pilgrim Baptist con-
gregation, and should be avoided in the
future.
