WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The complications

the cana! company's concession were dis
cussed again to-day by the senate in secret
session. and the committee on foreign rela-

gress incorporating the company and what
are the present conditions and prospects of
the enterprise. and to consider and report
what. in its opinion, the interests of the
United States may require in respect to
that intcr-oceanic communication" The
senate also made public treaty signed
Dec. I, 1881, between the United States and
Nicaragua. providing for the construction
Of an interoceanic canal across the
territory Of that republic. The

MISSIONARY MONEY.
Lost In the Kean Failure Bishop TAYLOR

Lost In the Kean Faiimre-is Bishop Taylor
HampereA.
CHICAGO, Jan. G.-More Interesting de-
velopments were made in the Kean matter
to-day. Ross TAYLOR presented petition
in the county court to the effect that Mis-
sionary Bishop VIM. Taylor, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, during last years
tour in the United States, raised about
$4,000 for his Congo missions. This he
deposited with kean. In November he
drew draft on London for 5000 of this
amount and left for the scene of his labors.
The remaining 5000 was still in
the bank when it failed and
perhaps the 5000 also, as it is not
known whether the draft WAS cashed be-
fore the failure. Taylor set forth that the
money was trust fund and should be made
good out of the assets; that relying upon
the fund Bishop Taylor hired lot of mis-
sionaries to go to Africa, whose transpor-
tation cannot now be secured, and bought
a lot of supplies in New York which cannot
be paid for. The court took this matter
under advisemeut. A meeting of creditors
and attorneys was held to-day with closed
doors. II il believed they reached nm un-
derstanding in regard to a settlement, but
nothing definite is known.

tionary measure. He urges the legislature
by resolution or otherwise MS may seem best
to express so emphatically it's condemna-
ton OF the proposed legislation that the
united voice of New Yorks representatives
in congress may be secured to avert from
the state and country the evil effects of so
unwise law. He recommends such legis-
lation and liberal action az will enable the

sources at the coming Worlds fair.

CURIOUS POINTS OF LAW

Raised in Very Singular Suit Against
Blaine.
BALTIMORE, Jan. Cd. Van Raalts, Dutch
consul at Glasgow, has brought suit against
James q. Blaine, rs secretary OF state of
the United States. Prior to July %, 1868,
the plaintiff bought $125,000 Of negotiable
coupon bonds issued by the southern states,
ms state and confederate states bonds juint-
ly. On the date above Secretary of State
Seward issued proclamation proclaim ing
all such obligations void. The plaintiff
contends that this was an implied admis-
sion that without such prohibition the debt
or obligation would be good and valid. He
alleges that Stewards proclamation was an
illegal interference with the rights of the
plaintiff as citizen of Great Britain an d
Holland. The case presents many curious
points. The principal con ntention will be
that as the United States always held that
none of the southern states were out of the
union. the secretary of state had no author.
ity to issue the proclamation.

ITALY Is SATISFIED.



AD,erics Have Increased.
KoMy. Jan. Cit was nscertained from
high official sources that Italy is we'll salts,
fed with the workings Of tho new American
tarif bill. The report Of the government
commission appointed TO investigate and
report on its probable effects shows that
under the new tariff about ~ per cent. OF
Italian exports to the United States arc ad-
mitted free Of duty, ~ per cent. are at
reduced duty, and II per cent. Mt tho old
rate, while the duty liz increased on less
than per cent. This report, together
with statistics published by the Italian
press, have brought about a very favorable
state Of public opinion regarding it. I'VE
have no cause for complaint against
tho United States OH account
Of tho new tariff" said Prime Minister
Crispi, and this diplomatic opinion is more
than endorsed by all the deputies inter-
viewed by the Associated press correspond
ent. During the past ten years Italian
commerce with the United States has been
steadily increasing till il Is now exceeded
by only three other nations Of Europe.
Since the bill went into effect it continues
to increase at rs great rate as before. Tho
report published recently that on account
OF the Mckinley bill Italy would make no
exhibits at the Worlds fair to be held ut
Chicago is entirely untrue.

Credited With Causing the Present DfplO-
matte Furry for Personal Ends.
LONDON, Jan. 6.-The st. James Gazette
to- day says it accepts the official denial
in regard to the Behring sea troubles. add
ing, however: "But why is the United
States navy being massed in the Pacific un-
less it is to make Behring sea a mare claus.
UNI? The officers Of the American navy do
not act upon rumors printed in American
papers"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Blaine oh.
viously means to try more 'bunco' for the
sake of making political capital. We are
convinced. however, that the Americans
will not support him. 1t is imperative to
arbitrate the matter in dispute"
The Globe says it attributes the friction
to Baine's dragging spread -ea Qleism,"
and 1t is of the opinion, in view of the pos
sible, though unlikely, American display Of
force in Behring sea. that Great Britain
ought to instantly strengthen her Pacific
squadron. The Globe also advocates the
settlement CT all matters in dispute by
means of arbitration.

Farmers Will Repudiatc Their Obligation,

FARGO, N. d., Jan. G.-Arrangements are
being made to fight the collection of all
notes now held by harvester companies in
this state. 1t is said they amount to about
$3,000,O0). The ground of contest is that
tho notes were given for binders with a con-
tract that repairs would be furnished free,
and recently the Combined American Har-
vester company has made rule all repairs
must hereafter be paid for Ill cash. An
other ground for contest will te that the
new company Is trust and therefore con-
trary to the laws OF the United States and
North Dakota. Arrangements are also be-
ing made to antagonize the business of the
new company.

Every Prospect of a Deadlock.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. G.-The general
assembly meets tomorrow. In the senate
the democrats have ten majority and in the
house the republicans have sixteen ma ior-
icy. Official returns of the last election
show majority of twenty-six for Morris,
democratic candidate for governor. Sev
eral hundred prohibition votes throughout
the state have been cast out and other votes
of both parties have been cast out for vari-
GUS causes. The republicans insist that the
matter should be inquired into. while the
democrats in the senate insist that Morris
ia elected. There is every prospect of q
deadlock in the legislature.

Noble Jealous of His wards.

WAsHINGToy, Jan. Cit is stated at the
department of the interior that the war de-
partment officials to-day received q tele-
gram from Gen. Miles urging the prompt
approval of his recommendation that the
Indian agents at South Dakota agencies be
superseded by army officers and stating
that the situation demands that the changes
DE made at once. Secretary Noble declined
to say anything upon the subject when
questioned to-day, hut it is asserted that he
will vigorously oppose the adoption of the
plan upon the ground that it would inevi-
tably result in undoing all or nearly all the
good that has been done in recent years
toward the material advancement of Indian
tribes in the northwest.
