to do ii much good Most of the men

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Galveston
News says the attempt to regulate the
railroads by the Legislature has pracii-
cally regulated the cotton business ont
of the State. lie says: "Werc the rail-
roads at liberty to fix their own rates
from competitive points to our markets
this would not happen. Then the ship
per would obtain the benefit Of healthy
competition between our own and out
side markets, which he is practically de-
MED MS long as rates within the State
are prohibltory as compared with
through rates to distant points. Thus,
another singular thing about the law is
that nobody is benefited by Il except the
transportation companies reaching out
side the State. Through it the factor is
ruined, the wholesale merchant sees his
trade slipping away from him, the inte-
rior merchant can no longer obtain adj
vances, our State railroad companies are
out Of pocket, and the producer himself
is deprived of the benefit of free and
competing market at home, and so does
not get all his cotton is worth"

HOW HE DID 1T.

The methods by which Isaac n.
Hibbs, absconding postmaster at Lew
iston, Idaho, managed to swIndle the
money order department to the
amount Of $4,000 are thus described
in the Nez Perez News Of the 4th, and
accounts coming from Evanston, Wy
oming, and other points verify the
accounts to the letter. The News says:
live 5tigation developed complete
ard systematic method, which for its
novelty and simplicity beats the rec
ord, and has opened the eyes Of the
money order department to such an
extent that it will entail a reorganiza-
ton of the entire money order system
throughout the world. The facts are
these: Lewiston is the mail distribut-
ing center for a large number Of post
offices in northern Idaho and eastern
Washington. With this as a founda-
ton the postmaster proceeded to issue
money orders for fictitious indiyidu-
ais at Pierce City, Mt. Idaho, Genesee,
Moscow and other small postoffices.
The money orders, amounting to $500
per day, were drawn in favor of some
bank in the town where the orders
We're payable. The usual letter of
advice was forwarded to the paying
postmaster, SO that the very instru-
ment designed for the protection Of
the service became the cloak under
which the rascalities We're perpetrated.
Meanwhile our worthy postmaster had
forwarded the money orders to the
bank for collection, together with a
letter stating that he was about to
visit the town and the bank was to
place the money on deposit to his
credit until his arrival. Later on he
writes aaother letter to the bank, stat

THE NitARAHIAN CANAL.

How to avoid the long and tedious
voyage around Cape Horn
has long engaged the atten-
ton Of the world. DeLesseps, the
great French engineer. who construct
ed the Suez canal, backed by French
capital, has begun q ship canal across
the isthmus and now it is proposed to
the United States that she shall build
a canal also, crossing the Nicaraguan
peninsula from the port Of San Juan
de Nicaragua, OF Greytown, on the
Atlantic coast, to the harbor OF Brito.
on the Pacific. 4 treaty for this pur-
pose has been drawn up between the
Republic OF Nicaragua and the Unit
ed States to begin work on the canal
within two days after the treaty is
ratified by each party to it, and to
complete it within ten years after be
ginning it. The estimate cost Of the
canal ranges from $40, 100000 to
500, 900, 900, and our Government is
to loan Nicaragua 10000 which
that republic proposes to expend in
constructing railways, telegraph lines
and improving some Of the auxiliary
water courses. which will be for the
benefit Of the ship canal. Nicaragua
is to give the United States the right
Of way through its territory, the use
Of auxiliary water courses, and is to
cede a strip Of land three miles wide
on each sice Of the canal for the whole
distance. In return for these conces-
sions, the United Stats. while it is to
have complete control of the canal,
and virtual ownership, is still to give
Nicaragua one-half Of the tolls re
ceiyed. Nicaragua also gives withthe
grant, the terminal ports and harbors,
and allows the United States to pro
vide any Notifications and defenses it
may deem necessary, only stripulat-
ing that it shall not wage offensive
warfare against any Central American
State friendly to Nicaragua. The
treaty also guarantees that the Canal
and its accessories Of every kind shall
be exempt from all taxation, and no
duties shall be levied on material used
in its construction and maintenance.

CROP PROSPECTS.

The June report Of the Department
Of Agriculture reports the condition
Of winter wheat lower than ever be
fore in June. The general percentage
has declined from Is in May to 81.
The average Of the principal States
are: New York, 81; Pennsylvania, 81;
Ohio, So; Michigan, 81; Indiana, So;
Illinois, 40; Missouri, 81; Kansas So;
California. SO. In the same States
there has been Il greater loss Of area
thar was anticipated in previous &c
potts; the average yield will evident
ly be less than ten bushels per acre.
The probable product in the winter
wheat States, according to these re
turns. is reduced to about 2O7, OO0.0 600
bushels, but none Of the Territories
are included in the winter wheat area.
The report Of spring wheat is more
favorable, The disposition last aut-
umn to reduce its breadth on account
of the low price. was checked by the
loss of whites wheat area, and later TO
the Rriti.h-Russian war rumors.
Substantially the same area has been
seeded as last year about eleven mil
lion acre. The condition Of spring
wheat is 81 and indicates a crop Of
1913 million busllel.

A FIGHT WITH THE BLOODS.

A skirmish between Jackson's
mounted rangers and a force Of Blood
Indians took place at Piegan creek,
fifty miles north Of the international
boundary. 1t is reported that the
Indians were mostly from Montana.
They were lying in ambush near
Gault's railway line, on which a large
force was working, and it is believed
were intending to attack the men and
capture the supplies at nightfall.
Jackson, with his rangers, rode out to
meet them, and on approaching made
friendly signals. The Indians retired
to the ambush and Immediately fired
several yolleys at the rangers, doing
some damage. The rangers respond
ed and the firing continued until the
ammunition was exhausted, with a
loss to tie Indians unknown and a
few slight casualties to the rangers.
Jackson returned on the road to camp
and reported to Major Stewart, who,
with every scout, Immediately left in
pursuit. Travelling all night they
reached the point of attack on Jack
son, where existence was found Of his
plucky fight. The trail Of the Indi-
ans We're found near Piegan creek.
Stewart pursued, but proximity to
the border prevented capture.-Pion-
