Real estate and Financial Register:
L. F. Buffington's plans for % story
building in Minneapolis are exciting
considerable interest among the bust
ness men of this city. Some of the
most prominent and conservative
capitalists have gone into the scheme
and there remains but little doubt
but what the structure will be erected
In the near future. The building will
cost in the neighborhood of 81 900 900,
It will be 300 feet high and 80 feet
square with court in the center 40
feet square. It will be isolated from
all other buildings on each side by 40
feet vacant space. The building will
be constructed nearly of iron, being
SO arranged as to form a series of iron
braces with most OF the weight of the
entire structure bearing inward
toward the center of the base instead
Of outward, and thus permit the
frame work to resist an immense
weight. Mr.. Burlington stated to
Register reporter that a building !
could be erected to any height after
his plan with entire safety. Twenty

The Fisheries Question.

Senator Frye, of Maine, suggests an
easy and expeditions way Of protect
ing American fishermen from repe-
tition of the outrages that were per-
petrated with impunity when CleYe-
land was in the White House and
Bayard was at the head of the State
Department. His proposal is that
the Government insist that American
rights in Canadian waters shall be re-
spected. II American fishing vessels
are seized then damages should be de-
manded Of the British Government.
II these are refused then the same
treatment should be accorded to
Canadian vessels that is melted out to
ours.
We believe with Senator Frye that
If some such course as this were pur-
sued the fisheries dispute would be
soon settled IN a manner satisfactory
to all concerned. We are, however,
OF the opinion that this country will
never be obliged to have recourse to
the extreme measures suggested by
Mr.. Frye. The indignities put upon
the Stars and Stripes by Canadian
officials would never have been per-
petrated if it had not been that at the
time there was installed at Washing
ton an Administration that was not
very sensitive about maintaining the
honor of the country when doing so
would bring it into collision with
England. The uuwillingness of that
Administration to do aught that
would offend England was the real
cause of all the insults and the in
juries inflicted upon our fishermen.
AS that cause no longer exists we can
confidently look forward to an honor
able and satisfactory settlement of
the fisheries question.

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, April Is, 1889.
Secretary Blaine laughed heartily
when a gentleman asked him if
there was any truth in the story that
he intended shortly to retire from the
Cabinet, and for answer passed his
hand around the gentleman's arm
and conducted him oyer to look at
the interior changes that are being
made in the old Seward mansion,
near the White House, preparatory
to its occupancy by the Blaine family
next fall.
The Democratic attempt to make it
appear that the relations between the
President and Secretary Blaine are
not pleasant and harmonious has
proven q dismal failure.
The President informed Demo-
cratic Senator that it was his purpose
whenever he had to appoint a Demo.
crat to an office, such as one member
of the Civil Service Commission and
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, to insist upon his being pro-
tectionist. This decision has created
a panic among the free-trade Demo-
cratic aspiran:s, chief among whom
may be mentioned ex-Secretary of
the Treasury Thompson, who wants
to serve his country as Civil Ser
vice Commissioner.
1t is stated at the State Department
that an understanding has been
reached with England and Germany,
whereby 1t is agreed that pending the
termination of the coming Samoan
conference at Berlin, the three treaty
powers-England, Germany and the
United States-shall each keep only
one war vessel at Samoa,
1t is stated positively in quarters
where 1t would most likely lie first
known, that Col. Duffield, OF Michi-
gan, has been selected for the place of
Solicitor General. It may be some
time, however, before the appoint
ment Will be made, as the present
Solicitor General-Mr. jerks, has
been requested to remain in tie Office
until the Government telephone
cases have been disposed of by the
Supreme Court.
The President has been thinking of
taking q short vacation in order to
get some much needed rest but he
has fnally decided not to leave Wash
ington until the 18th instant, when
he goes to New York to take part in
the Centennial ceremonies. The
President and Mrs. Harrison will be
the guests of Vice President and
Mrs. Morton, ut Rhinebeck, their
country residence, near New York
city, during the celebration and for q
week afterwafd.

Spring Valley Vldette: John Nor
ris, a farmer, was so very shrewd that
he made his wife sew up his hoard of
1926 in her petticoat, instead of put
ting it in the bank as he ought to
have done. Saturday night three
masked men entered his wife's bed
room, gagged her, and stole the petit
coat from under her pillow, and
escaped. Morris was absent, having
been invited to neighbor's. William
Standish has been arrested and Mrs.
Morris has identified him as one of
the thieves. The question is how did
they know the money was in the
petticoat?

The Nicaragua Canal.

The attempt to construct canal
across the Isthmus of Panama seems
to have collapsed. A bill which pro-
vidss for maintaining the construc-
ton of a canal through that part of
Central America known rs Nicaragua,
by the means of private enterprise,
was introduced in Congress a little
more than a year ago, the passage of
such a bill has been delayed by nu-
merous amendments and conditions
touching the organization Of pri-
yate company, but has finally passed
both houses. The purpose of this
company is to construct an inter-
oceanic loek-canal by way of Lake
Nicaragua. The total distance from
ocean to ocean by the proposed route
is nearly one hundred and seventy
miles, and of this there are fifty-six
and half miles by lake, and eighty
four and half by river and basin
navigation, thus the length of actual
canal is reduced to about twenty
nine miles. The outlet of the lake to
be utilized is tho San Juan River
which is at present navigable through
out its length, and would require but
little deepening for the purpose in
tended.
The elevation is somewhat great,
there being level stretch Of one
hundred and fifty miles, one hundred
and ten feet above the sea. The pro-
posed canal will have six locks,
three on the Atlantic ana three on
the Pacific side, and they are to be of
sufficient size to transfer the largest
vessels afioat. With uniform depth
of thirty feet and varying width
never less than eighty feet> accord
ing to the condition of the bed, there
can not be found any objection to the
capacity. The illustration of Grey
town, the Atlantic terminus of the
canal, gives fair idea of how that
place appears; it is of itself some
thing of harbor, although numer-
Gus sand bars significantly prevent
an extensive usage as such. This.
would be remedied by means Of effec-
tive dredging and by strengthening

New York Mail: The girl with the
violin is the most picturesque and
novel feature In society just now,
which finds her-standing tall and
slim, with her instrument tucked un-
der her dimpled chin and her arm
sweeping out in wide, graceful curves
as she draws the bow across the
strings-a much more "pleasing sight
to see" than the girl perched on the
piano stool, with her back to her
hearers. So the violin teachers are
reaping rich harvests, and many
young women who never did much at
the piano are beginning to discover
the true outlet for their talents in
Paganini's instrument. A young
society girl who is a performer on the
violin recently received unique
present from the man to whom she Is
engaged. -.-~
1t consists of a very handsome
violin bow, as beautiful and as rich as
it could be made, and with very
large and brilliant diamond set in its
lower end. The effect of this is, be-
yond measure, charming. AS she
stands facing her audience, the violin
is under her chin and the bow held
high, and as the music begins it darts
rays of red and blue and green as the
light falls upon its facets. AS the
time becomes faster and the music
more brilliant q shower of sparks
seem to flash from the great white
gem, as though the staccato notes
had become visible and were thrown
like spray in the air. It is a charm
ing fancy, and one which the lovers
of fair violin players will be quick to
initiate when they are fortunate
enough to be able to afford such an
adornment for their betrothed's chosen
instrument.
