MILLER'S Big DITCH.
The Work Of EECaVating the Nicaragua
Canal Well Under Way.

WASHINGTON, May Hon. Warner NIL
Ter, President of the Nicaragua Canal Com
pany. returned tonight from visit Of in
spection to Nicaragua In an interview he
makes most encouraging report of affairs.
He says the two dredges now at work have
already exeayated the canal for a distance
of halt mile, to width of 27O feet and
depth OF seventeen feet. Two other dred dges
will follow these and complete the excsva-
tion to depth OF thirty feet, which is to be
the depth Of the completed canal.
The c0mpany's railroad along the line Is
now completed for ten miles, and two miles
more are graded and nearly ready for track
laying. This railroad will extend to
point on San Juan River, called Ochoa,
where the river Is to be damned. This dam
will raise the water Of the San Juan River
up 10 the level of Lake Nicaragua. and fill
that point TO Lake Nicaragua, a distance of
sixty-tive miles.
After inspecting the work at Greytown
and on the railroad the party made a march
through the wilderness near the line of the
canal at OehOa. This was a work of
gre It difficulty, because the entire distance
was through an almost impenetrable tropi-
ical forest The only paths through
this dense forest were those made
by the engineers and surveyors.
The distance was some thirty-five or forty
ing in three days. thus examining the actual
line Of the proposed canal and enabling all
of tbs engineers to judge of the character Of
the work done and of the material, rock
and earth that had to. be moved. They
we're entirely satisfied with the examina-
ton.
The distance from the lake te the Pacific
on the western side is about sixteen miles.
The country there is generally cleared, set
tied and cultivated. On this account the
party were enabled to make an in
vestigation OF the line on horse
back. Three days were spent here
in examining the line of the canal, from
which the forest has almost entirely been
cleared. The point where the canal leaves
the lake for the Pacific is the lowest point
OF land in Nicaragua, and presents the few
est obstacles to the cutting of the canal
The highest point is only forty-one feet
above the water of the lake.
No difficulties of any kind present them
selves on this side. 1t is simply u matter of
removing certain amount Of earth, and the
three locks which are to be built will bring
the canal down TO the level of the Pacific
Ocean. All OF the engineers expressed
themselves as entirely satisfied of the
feasibility of the route and Of the perfection

RECIPROCAL TREATIES.

The New Peruvian Minister Authorized to
Negotiate With Secretary Blaine.
CHICAGO, May IA Washington special
says: Peru wants reciprocity with the
United States The new Minister, Mr..
Solar, is now in New York, but viii come
to Washington to present his credentials
soon after President Harrison returns.
Though he comes as the regularly accredited
Minister, ii is understood that Solar is
really on special mission to negotiate
reciprocity arrangement with this country.
Closer trade relations with the United
States are important to Peru. 1t is the OHly
South American country besides Brazil
which produces sugar in large quantities.
So it is important to Peru that it insureS a
lasting free market for this product in the
United States. 1t has also a growing ex-
port trade in hides. These products will
form the basis of the concessions to be
made to the United States. The reciprocity
arrangement between Peru and the United
States will be likely to give some privileges
to all citizens of the United States who are
developing mining aud other industries in
that country.
NEW YORK, May THE Commercial
Bulletins Washington special says: The
next reciprocity arrangements which will
be announced after that with Spain regard
ing Cuba will probably be with San Do
mingo and Venezuela. The representative of
the Dominican Republic, Senior Calvin. who
negotiated the reciprocity treaty OF 1884, is
here and has had several conferences with
Blaine. The little black republic is anxious
to promote the friendliest relations with
this country, and Senior Calvin seems will
ing to offer us very favorable terms. The
entire trade of San Domingo is not of su-
preme Importance, but the United States

reception service for the dead of the EpisrO-
pa ritual, which was read by Rev. Mr.. Ed
wards. AT the conclusion of the service the
remains we're left in the custody of Colonel
Shafter, who placed in the chapel a guard
from the First Infantry, comprising a Ser
geant aud three pTivates, who will form
guard OF honor until after the funeral on
Sunday.
The officers of the Belgic report an un-
fortunate episode in connection with the
embarkatiOn at Yokohama, which, espe-
cially in view of the distinguiS he'd honOrS
raid to the dead Minister by the japanese
Government and residents, is deeply to be
depiored
1t is stated that the relations between the
families Of Minister Swift and Admiral Bel
KNAPP, who is in command OF the Japan
squadron, were somewhat strained on ac-
count Of a fancied social slight placed upon
the naval officer by MIS-. Swift. When the
tins arrived for the remains to be conveyed
on board the Belgic Admiral Belknap, in
stead Of furnishing naval guard of honor
and transporting the casket In one of his
ships boats, as was to be expected, allowed
the cOffiU 10 be brought out To the steamer
in the ordinary lighter used for conveying
the Belgic'S luggage.
Not content with being remiss in this par
ticular, a lack of courtesy aud naval
etiquette, and an honor to which the dead
stated that Admiral Belknap neglected to
fire a salute at any time prior, during or
subsequent to the embaTkation. Minister
Swifts rank entitled him to fifteen guns, but
both the Admiral's ship, the Monocacy, and
also the Alliance remained strangely silent.
Neither Admiral Belknap nor any of his Off
GERS took any official part in the farewell to
Mrs. Swift, and indeed, the naval officer
sgnalZed her departure, it is stated, by an
official visit to another vessel.
The ships of the German squadron paid
the dead diDlOmate the honor of a salute
thus making more marked the failure of the
United States officer to accord a similar
mark OF respect. The affair occasiOned no
little discussion among the passengers, and
many adverse comments we're expressed re-
gardiDg the conduct of Admiral Belknap.
George A. Norris, the br0ther-in-law of
Mrs. Swift, was questioned yesterday re-
garding the affair. and, while admitting the
truth of tie ALLEGATIONS, mildly defended
Admiral Belknap, by stating that Mis-.
Swift desired quiet departure from Japan.
Another explanation OF the AdmiraPs con-
duct was suggest ed by a San Francisco gen.
tleman, who stated that the condition of

ST. LOUIS, May 7.-Dis atehes from many

CHICAGO, May Local dealers do not
fear much injury to fruit crops from the re-
cent frosts and cold snaps. Should the cold
weather continue, however, the damage is
apt to be heavy. In the opinion of proni-
nent merchants the prospects are good for
a successful fruit season. Peaches seem to

Swift, was at Meiggs Wharf at an early
hour yesterday morning. and at $50 the
following members of the committee stepped
on board: Mayor Sanderson, T. G. Phelps,
Paris Kllburn, s. 4. Thornton, Colonel W.
r. Shafter George A. Wentworth, w. w.
Morrow, C. F. Bassett General John Me-
Comb, Edward Curtis and J. c. Quinn.
Mrs. Kilburn accompanied the party. which
was subsequently re-enforced by the addition
of Dr.. ". ". Lawlor, Quarantine Officer,
whose launch was unable to Withstand the
rather heavy sea caused by the fresh morn
ing wind.
The CoTwin steamed over to the Belgic,
to which the party was transferred. about
z o'clock. TIE steamer carried three flags
at half-mast, but bore no other symbols of
mourning. The Corwin as well as the other
G vernment vessels, and almost all the
craft lying in the hsrbor, displayed similar
emblems Of sorrow, while the remains we've
on board the Belgie. Flags at half-mast
foated also from all the municipal. State
and Federal buildings, the Masonic Temple
and from many business houses, blocks and
private residences, testifying to the general
esteem in which the deceased Minister was
regarded.
The committee was received by George A.
Norris. brOther-in-law Of Mrs. Swift. who,
with his wife and two children, has accoT-
panied her from Yokohama. When Mrs.
Swift was notified of the arrival of the conl-
nittee she expressed a desire to see S. K.
Thornton. who is an old personal friend.
She subsequently asked for Mr.. and Mrs.
Paris Kilburn and 7. G. Phelps. The pro
visional general preparations were stated to
the bereaved lady. who expressed her aequi-
escence with all the arrangements suggested,
leaving the details in the hauds Of the COM
mittee. Mrs. Swift was completely pros
tFated with grief aud from the effects of the
voyage. Although the trip from YOkO hama
was accomplished in about fourteen days
and has been free from bad weather and
heavy seas both Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Norris
were so indsp0sed that after the embarka-
tion they were unable to see each other dur
Ing the entire passage.
When DR.. Lawlor had ascertained that
there were no cases CT smallpox on board,
and had examined the Chinese and Japan
ese passengers, the Belgic proceeded to the
