HPLIFAx, July 9.-The management and
operation of the French cables from Sgd
ney to st. Pierre and thence to France
have been taken over by the Mackey-Ben-
nett company. George c. Ward, the
Mackay- Bennett New York manager, is
now in Nova Scotia experimenting the
a1nalgamatiOn. The French company's
land lines from Louisburg, where the cable
lands, 5to Sydney, have Sbeen dismantled,
and the cable steamer, Pony Quertier, has
loid a new cable from the main stand at
Louisburg to Fox island, the CaGso. The
Mackay Bennett and French companies
have entered into an amalgamation which
will be a rival to the cable pool. They
have, it is said, formed connections with
the Canadian Pacific telegraph system and
in few weeks the Canadian Pacific land
lines will have completed connection with
cables at Canso. In order to have another
connection with the United States, new
cable is to be immediately laid between
Canso and Boston.

Two Governors of a Kind,

New ORLEANS, July 9.-The States says
editorially: ''The marvellous military
genius displayed by Governor Lowry, OF
Mississippi, and Governor Nichols, OF
Louisiana, in their combined efforts to
suppress the Sullivan Kilrain prize fight,
served but to lend eclat to as fragrant q
violation of law and order as was ever com
mitted. If Governor Lowry, after his mil
itary fiasco, can gather his wits now and
issue requisition upon the governor of
the state where Sullivan and kilrain and
their packers may be found, and have them
apprehended and brought back to Missis-
sippi to be punished according to law, the
example he shall then set will do more to
deter recurrence of yesterdays lawless-
ness than the combined use of all the
armies of Louisiana and Mississippi which
yesterday added an element of supreme
ridicule to the arrant blunder of funny
pair of governors.

NICARAGUA AND COSTA RIGA.
Senior ZeledOn Emphatically Denies the Exist.
ence of Trouble Between these Countries.

ence of Trouble Between these Countries.
Especial to THE HERALD.-Examiner Dispatch. |
WASHINGTON, July 9-Senor Zeledon,
the Costa Rican minister to this country,
sends to your correspondent the following
statement in denial of the reported troubles
! between his country and Nicaragua and
the Nicaragua Maritime canal company.
1T is utterly erroneous said Senior
Zeledon, ''that Costa Rica was ever OPP
posed or is opposed at present
and in any way to the en-
terprise of the canal through the Central
American isthmus On the contrary, Costa
RIGA, nea ,ly year ago, willingly granted
to the canal company concession of all
the land and waters of her territory neces-
sary for the work. The respective con-
tracts have been faithfully fulfilled by
both parties, and there has never
before arisen, and there exists not now,
any fear of difficulty between them.
There is perfect understanding between
| Costa Rica and the company. The latter
| is satisfied with the way in which it has
! settled the matter with Costa Rica, and
that republic is equally satisfied with the
terms of the contract. There is no foun-
datiOn whatever for the statement that the
| temporary administration of Don
Ascension Esquival has ever pretended, or
pretends now, to vary one iota the terms
of the contract entered into with the canal
company by the previous administration.
There are two conclusive reasons for this:
| THAT the contract is a perfect law, APP
/ proved by the executive and ratified by the
congress of the republic long before the
coming to power of Senior Esquival. 2-He
| himself was at the head of the ministry in
Costa Rica when the contract was signed
there. Moreover, it was by his vote and
consent that the required approval was OBJ
tanned. Attention must also be called to
the fact that the contract was framed
originally at Washington by the Costa
Rican legation, which was fully and liber-
ally provided with instructions from Senor
Esquival, the minister for foreign affairs.
! Therefore it may well be said that the con-
tract referred to is the work of Senior
! Esquival, and it IS absurd to think even
for a moment that he should ever reject it,
especially now when it has become law

Investigating Colorado Officials.

DENVER, July 9.-It is learned that most
of the time of the present grand jury has
been occupied in investigating the charges
of corruption made against certain state
officials and members of the last legislature
regarding the purchase of furniture for
the legislative building, stationery and
other supplies for the members of the as
sembly and the public printing, which,
during the ninety days session, aggregated
in the neighborhood of sixty thousand dol
lars. In the absence of Secretary of
State James Rice, who is east, the
grand jury demanded of his dep
uty, J. j. Wyatt, the keys to the
room where the furniture is said to be
stored for the purpose of continuing their
investigations. Mr.. Wyatt disregarded the
demands of the jury and was arrested for
cantempt. To-day he was arraigned before
Judge Stone, of the criminal court, found
guilty and sentenced to ten days imprison-
ment in the county jail and fined 800. His
honor concluded by saying that he would
remit the Jail sentence, providing Wyatt
turned over the keys before pm. to-
morrow. 1t is understood that the defend

South Dakota's Convention.

SIOUX FALLS, Oak, July 9.-The consti
tutional convention was in session less than
an hour. President Edgerton announced
the membership of thtrty-two standing
committees, averaging ten each. The com
mittees on superintendent and on the sub
mission of the constitution number twenty
five each, or one-third of the entire con-
vention. The purpose is to do the chief
work of the body in committees.
A petition was received to-day from
naturalized Russian Mennonites asking the
insertion of a constitutional provision ex-
empting them from military service, as
they left the old country to escape such
service.
The commission of seven to visit Bis
marck and assist in dividing the assets and
liabilities and archives of the territory be-
tween the two states, will probably start
Thursday. Positions on this commission
are regarded as the next best thing after
the presidency, but that they involve am
pie chance for mistakes and failures, and
may prove political graveyard.
1t will be some time yet before the pro
ceedings of the convention will smack of
special importance as grists of the com
mittee's mills willno be ready. The func-

The War in Egypt.

CAIRO, July 9.-Advices received to-day
say that Col. Warehouses; cavalry has oc-
cupied the camp of the enemy and found it
deserted by all except by several men,
women and children who were dying from
thirst and exhaustion. The enemy sur
prised and killed picket belonging to the
Ninth battalion. No reinforcements had
passed Waddy Halfa. Other advices say
the force under Colonel Wodehouse arrived
at Adendon last night and that the Derry
ishes occupied a position on the opposite
bank. A sharp engagement ensued. The
Dervishes were after water and managed to
procure supply, though many succumbed
to the artillery and rifle fire. There were
also several casualties among the Egyp-
tians

Kilrain Sick Before the Fight.

NEW ORLEANS, July S.-Kilrain is suffer
ing quite severely this morning, but his
hackers say that no bones were broken and
that he will be all right shortly.
There are various rumOrs in circulation
in regard to his condition. Reports are
flying around that he is dying. There is nc
truth in these, however, although kilrain
is rather badly hurt internally Governor
Lowry, of Mississippi, this morning issued
a proclamation requesting that the states
viii extradite all the participants in the
tight, and especially Sullivan, Kilrain and
their seconds.
Sullivan's fear of arrest will probably in
terfere with the arrangements for a recep-
ton and the champion is being kept Sc
Guided.
It is reported that Kilrain was seriously
sick before the fight, his ailment being of
a private nature. Mitchell is supposed to
have known this but Donovan did not.

sion is that it was the greatest fight that
ever took place between heavy weights.
The fighting was fast and furious all

Yesterday. He did not know at the end OF
the fight that he had fought over half an

hours longer if necessary. He refrained

Burke viii Come.

WINNIPEG, July 9.-In the Burke case
today Charles, who arrived from Chicago
by the noon train, identified Burke as
Frank Williams, the man who rented the
cottage where Cronin was murdered. This
was the point the prosecution desired to es-
tablish, namely, that Frank Williams
and Burke were one and the same man.
Before the cross-examination witness said
he had been taken out into the court house
yard by Officer Collins before coming into
court to see if he could recognize the pris-
oner. He had also recognized him
from group photographed in
Chicago. Mr. Howell said, ''That
is our case, your lordship." This announce
ment was received with hum of satisfac-
tion by all connected with the case, even
Burke gave sigh of relief. At the con-
clusion of the reading of the evidence to-
night, Burke entered plea of not guilty.
Arguments in the case viii be heard to-
morrow.

Ing their normal condition.
Eilrain, who was believed to have re-
ceived terrible punishment about the body,
appeared this morning to be as fresh as
ever. The day after his return from the
battlefield he was conveyed to the
Southern Athletic club roomf and given
a bath, after which ne returned
70 his room. He vomited a greenish sub
stance, some of which has been kept for
analysis, in order to determine whether he
had been dosed, as he intimated, or not.
Every convenience and accommodation
was accorded him. Rumors that Kilrain
had been suffering from disease had been
freely circulated, and III order to satisfy
himself whether this was true or not, the
ianitor watched. He was evidently suffer
ing great physical pain and appeared to
walk with difficulty. The ianitor was
finally convinced that not only were the
reports true, but that Kilrain had recently
had surgical operation performed. Dr..

On the night of the Fourth, Manti was
the scene of what might have been fatal
shooting affray. Sheriff Larson and Par
ley McFarlane entered into an alteration,
which led into scuffle, during which a
pistol was produced by McF'arlane, and in
the struggle was discharged, the bullet
grazing the shoulder of Mr.. Larsen, and at
the same time wounding Mctarlane in the
hand. The examination commenced this
afternoon at o'clock. McFarlane has been
bound over.
With the exception of one event, namely,
the shooting ARRAY, the celebration of the
Fourth in Manti passed off very smoothly.
The inhabitants of Manti were awakened
by the booming OF cannon, excuse
me, anviD, and strains of music
from the several bands which ser
enaded the town. At IL o'clock
the citizens assembled at the tabernacle,
where an excellent programme was carried
through. In the afternoon old and young

LONDON, July AT meeting of the

of parliament, was a witness and was
questioned concerning a speech, which, ac-
cording to the statement of the Times, he
made at Waterford. Byrne declared that
he had never been inWaterford. daughter
Maine, member of parliament, also gave
testimony He said he believed in boycott
ting and would carry it to the extent of re
fusing to sell man the necessities Of life.
If he wanted such necessities he must con-
form to the plans of his neighbors and not
endeavor to Illustrate their efforts.
John O'Connor, another member of par
lament, testified that he denounced crime,
which he regarded as an enemy of the
League. He had no sympathy with moon
lighters and had no reason to shield them.
He declined to answer the question as to
whether he met John Dewey and others in
Ireland in 1879. Presiding Justice Harmon
said: '"These excuses are not tenable in
court of justice, because man binds him

NEW YORK, July "a young Tammany
sachem named Henry Apple, Jr., on being
appointed to local Office was given re-
ception last night by Wagnardo, who as
sembled to congratulate him upon his ad-
vancement. The invitations sent out said
it was to be an apple pie reception. The
invitation did not belle the occasion. Apple
pie that was built for guests was five feet
in circumference and two feet in depth; the
crust was two inches thick. Over one
hundred Tanlmany braves surrounded this
pie when it was cut. They were all hungry,
and when tunnel had been dug into the
monster pie dozen large rats skipped out
and there was 4 rush for chairs and the
hallway. The pie had been on exhibition
and the rats had gotten into the pie by
gnawing hole in the bottom. The Tam
mBnyites stomachs revolted and they re
fused to eat the pie. The apple pie recep-
ton had then to be turned into festival of

HENRY HIGGINsON'S CAREER.
Burial of the Man Who Married and Bllked
Mrs. Whyte-Melville, Widow of the Novelist.

Burial of the Man Who Married and Dllked
Mrs. Whyte-Melville, Widow of the Novelist.
Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. I
/ New YORK July 9.-The World published
yesterday exclusively an interesting story
about the burial of Henry Higginson, the
Episcopal minister who cut so wide a
swathe on two continents. Higginson was
minister of the English Episcopal church,
which suspended him for misconduct
Some years ago he married Mrs. Whyte-
Melville, whose husband, theA famous nov
elist, had been dead some years. The
widow, althoug hold enough to be grand
mother to her reverend suitor was worth
about one million dollars. Her
friends violently opposed the match
but the old lady was fascinated
with the young man. She not only
insisted upon marrying him, but before the
matrimonial knot was tied settled abso-
lutely upon him 100000. The happiness of
the lady was short lived. The young hus-
band short time after his marriage eloped
with pretty young woman, the compan-
ion of Mrs. Whyte-Melyille. She was
daughter of Captain Dunn, of Dublin, who
held an important post in the Irish metrop-
oils. Dunn at once came to London to hunt
up the runaways, but failed to find them.
A short time afterwards, in crossing from
Holyhead to KingstoWn, he accidentally
encountered Higginson. A violent scene
ensued between the enraged father and the
betrayer of his daughter. He promptly
seized Melville, as Higginson now called
himself, and demanded to know where his
daughter was The frightened dominic
denied all knowledge of her.
When the case was tried the feeling of
the public was so strongly in favor of the
father that he was simply bound over to
keep the peace and released. The clerical
Lothian made his escape to America, where
he was joined by Miss Dunn. He obtained
divorce in Michigan from Mrs. Whyte-
Melville and then went to Detroit where
he was formally married to Miss Dunn. In
the meanwhile Mrs. Whyte- Melville sued
for u divorce in the English courts, and
having obtained it, sought to recover her
money, but Higginson kept out of British
territory. AS he had invested the 100000
in French rentes it was outside the juris-
diction of the English courts. Higginson
bought property in Norway and lived there
up to a few weeks ago with Captain Dunn's
daughter, whom he had married in Anne
RIGA. He died there suddenly and his wife
brought his body to London for burial.
Higginson left a will leaving his Norway
property and $50, 900 cash to her.

tons of the convention are so limited by
the enabling act that many fruitful ques-
tons will not be considered. The Prohi-
bitionists have three-fifths of thedelegates,
and the woman suffrage probably has a
majority. The Farmers alliance and the
labor organizations can likely muster two
tifths, but no manifestation of a political
division has yet been observed, except Re
publicans and Democrats, 10 to "a, as shown
by the caucus of both parties. Prohibitions
already recognized in the constitution of

separately so that any particular faction
has no quarrel. The anti-monopoly features
of the document amply satisfy the grangers.
