NICARAGUA CANAL.
Estee, of California, Explains Its
Scope.

Scope.
ST. LOUIS, June 2.-Quietly, as be-
came representatives of the country's
commercial interests, delegates from
twenty-five or more states and various
commercial bodies OF the Union
gathered this morning in entertainment
hall of the Exposition building to open
the first session of the Nicaragua canal
convention. inaugurated by the buSi-
ness men of California. Without vast
ing any time, the convention then chose
ex-Goy. E. o. Stanard, of St. Louis, tenn
porary presiding officer. AT the close
of an address of welcome by Gov. Fran
els, Hon. NJ. M. Estee, of California. was
called upon to explain the purposes and
objects of the gathering, which had its
inception i'll his state.
In conclusion, Mir. Estes said: ''Think
of what this canal would accomplish.
1t would shorten the distance by sea
from the Pacific side of our country to
the gulf and Atlantic states about TO-
900 miles. 1t would build up our mar
kets with all Asiatic countries Its cen
struction would bring into our country
the commerce of the Pacific islands,
now largely controlled by Great Britain.
1t would make New York and New Or
leans 1900 miles nearer Yokohama than
is Liverpool by the SueZ canal.
The Importance OF this trade so Sc
cured may be noted when it is known
that the foreign commerce of the coun.
tries fronting on the Pacific ocean is
more than Sl,000.000.000 annually, and
the actual annual tonnage from those
q vast regions which would pass through
the Nicaragua canal would exceed $780,
200; that more than 400, 100000 Of people
would be the direct patrons of
this intereontinental waterway. 1t
would vitilize the tagging indus
tries of the great west. In time
it would make New York the center of
the monetary exchanges of the Western
world. which is now controlled by Lon
odon, and it would Americanize all
ifAmerica by making it commercially in
AT the conclusion of Mr..
Estee's address, Hon. Warner Miller
was introduced and presented to the
convention the history of the capal
question, which he stated dated back
Hundreds of years, from the day that
Columbus set out, not to discover new
world, but new route to the Orient.

NOBLE OPPORTUNITY.
Significant Utterances on the
Field OF Gettysburg.

EIeId or gettysburg.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, June 2.-In the
presence of thousands of spectators, the
high water mark tablet at the Copse
of Trees was dedicated today.
Gov. Pattison and many distin-
guished people were present.
Hon. Edward W. Mcpherson extended
a welcome to the battlefield, and Col.
John B. Batchelder told why the Copse
OF Trees was called the nigh water
mark. Samuel M. Swope, of Gettys-
burg, presented the monument to the
Memorial association, and John NJ.
Vandersyce, of Philadelphia, re-
ceived it. EX-GUv. James A.
Beaver delivered the Grafton, and
James Jeffry Roche, of Bost On, read
the poem. Short addresses were also
made by Gems. SchOfieid. SlOcun. Webb
and VeaZey, and other prominent NIL
itary men. Gen. Beaver said the formal
unwilling of this monument marked an
era in the progress of the effort to teach
history to coming generations. Point
ing to the monuments of military regi-
ments on every hand. he de-
clared it was the most remark
able collection of works of art
for the purpose to be found in the
world. AS the years go by, | become
more and more convinced OF the duty
which involves upon the survivors Of
our late war to smooth the way for the
complete union i'll sentiment, in feeling,
of the people of all sections of our COM
mon country and for the utter destruc-
ton of sectionaiiSm in all its forms and
phases" After recalling the positions
of many of the defending battalionS,
Gen. Beaver continued:
Every regiment composing the army
of the Potomac has. or will, sooner or
later, have monument which shall tell
the story OF its devotion. But what of
the forces which made it credtabie for
the army of the Potomac to make de.
Tense? From their right to their left,
with perhaps but single exception, you
will find no monument to mark the posi-
ton of a single regiment of the army
of Northern Virginia. We cannot argue
ourselves into the belief that they were
right. We can admire their courage,
fortitude and endurance. We can ac-
knowledge that they were at least our
equals in all that constitutes the soldier
and makes him foeman worthy of our
steel. Why should not this find all
acknowledgements on this field? Why
would not the strategy and tactics of the
battle of Gettysburg be studied from
both sides. Why should not the gov
eminent of the United States take pos
session of this entire battlefield and
make it a national park, which can be
the resort of all our people? Why should
not congress make appropriations for lay
ing out and constructing avenues along
the various lines occupied by the army
of Northern Virginia, and marking the
position of every one of its regiments?
An irrepressible conflict no longer sepa-
rates US into contending factions. Our
aims and hopes. ambitions for our
country, are one. Upon this field,
where the division was so bitterly EN-
phasized, let us make the effort for
union. The dedication of this monu-
nent is the guarantee that such result
eau be successfully achieved"

PULLING TOGETHER.

The evident purpose of the Democrats
and Peoples or Alliance parties in Kan
sas, as indicated in the dispatches of
the past day or two, to cooperate in the
voting arrangements this year, is an
Ominous cloud in the Republican sky.
While the arrangements so far cover
only state officers and congressman, it
is stated that the electors will be pro-
vided for later. There will be no diff
Guilty in this, as the Democrats have no
concern whether the vote goes in part
or whole to the new party. In any
event it will be loss of ten votes to
the Republicans. Nor is this the extent
Of the danger to the latter. Kansas is
always an intense radical state. 1t is the
recognized leader of the Peoples party.
The indications and Prescriptions are
that the Kansas example will be followed
by three Or four other states that have
always been in the sure Republican
list. The probabilities of a business ar
Tangenent among the elements opposed
to the Republicans are much greater IN
Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota
than they have seemed to be in Kansas. 1t
is, of course, shocking view to Repub-
1ican politicians, who are hoping to
make the same sort Of deal in Arkan-
sas, Alabama and other Southern states.
There are points of agreement between
the Democrats and Peoples party, such
as tariff reduction, that do not exist
with the Republicans. There is a-cOm-
mon purpose to put out the party that
has fOstered mOnOpolies and done so
much TO build up piutOcracy. But the
present purpose relates only to the
practical result of this cooperation.
The four states have thirty-one electoral
votes, all of which the Republicans put
down in the foundations of their presi-
Dental pyramid. But they say the
plan will not work, too many Democrats
and third party men viii! kick over the
traces. 1t may be allowed that there
will be some of these, but they cannot
affect the result. The figures at the
latest test, in 1890, gave the Republic
ans in Kansas 5000 more votes than the
new party, but the Democrats had over
Il, ZOO votes. The combination had o.
600 more votes than the Republicans.
AAue 10 4AaA SlA StiOuSA " QiSSi pdlH any
real Republican hope. In Ne
braska, at the same time, the Re-
publican was the third party,
and in a minority of the two combined
of 5000. There is room enough there
for losses without helping the Repub-
lieans. In Minnesota the Republicans
had about $4,000 fewer votes than the
two other parties, and Oh a common cam
didate were successful by $1,000. South
Dakota had some 10000 majority for
the combination. and the indications
are that it will not be less this year.
There Is room here for much quiet
ehuekling on the part of the boomers
who get left at Minneapolis. They can
tell the winners to set out the thirty
one votes Of these states, and see where
there is any chance to pull their man
through.

VARIEGATED VIEWS.
Blainiacs and Harrison Pluggers
All Talk at Once.

All Talk at Once.
CHICAGO, June 2.-The Blaine boom
moved up and down in Chicago today.
Chauncey M. Depew was the biggest
man in the city. and the way Their big
men flocked to see him at the Audito-
rum was caution to the people who
think there is no candidate but Blaine
worth mentioning for the Republican
nomination at Minneapolis. The genial
doctor did not talk much politics pub
liciy. This is what he told the re-
reporters: Harrison will be nominated
at the convention, and the convention
will be over in two days. We will be
back in Chicago Friday telling of what
great people the Republican party is
composed, and in particular dwelling
on the collapse of the Blaine boom.'
Ex-senator William Pitt Kellogg, of
Louisiana. almost shouted for Blaine,
and his talk had some force in it, be-
cause be heads the Louisiana delega-
ton TO the convention. He declared the
nomination of the president would be
grieyous mistake. He had greatly in
jured his chances By his appointment of
cOlored men.
Ex-Gov. Larrabee. of Iowa. dropped
into the Palmer house during the day
and talked Justify for Blaine.
1.-The plumed knight can carry Iowa
against any Democrat, not excepting
HoraceBoies, declared the ex-governor,
s'but l would not say that for Harrison.
Iowa might be classed as doubtful
state if Harrison were candidate. The
state delegation would have been in
structed for Blaine had the convention
known at the time what the people all
know now. The majority of the dele
gates will vote for Blaine anyhow"
ID the same hotel was John r. Lynch,
the colored leader from Mississippi. He
declared the colored people of the coun-
try were well satisfied with Harrison's
treatment of their race. They would be
found fighting for him at the polls If lie

PORT JERvIs, n. Y, June 2.-Robert
Jackson. colored, today perpetrated a
most vile assault on Miss Lena Nc
Mahon, of this place. The crime
was committed in view of num-
Der of young girls. the negro, with
almost inhuman deprayity, adding
brutal features to his heinous offense.
Two young negroes made an attempt to
capture the fend, but he held
them at bay with revolver.
After the commission of his
crime. Jackson fed. His poor victim
lay insensible on the ground and is
now suffering from injuries which
will in all probability prove fatal. The
report of the crime spread with great
rapidity and in a very short time a
posse was in pursuit OF the negro. AT
Cuddeback, nine miles from Port Jervis,
Jackson vas captured. The brute was
brought here, and, when ques-
toned, confessed his crime. i'm
plicating William Foley. white
man, whom he claimed was
in the conspiracy to ruin Miss McMa-
hon. When the citizens heard that the
villain had been captured and brought
to the village, they assembled in large
numbers around the local lookup, broke
in the door, and the prisoner was soon
in their hands. The police unayaiiingly
tried to rescue him.
The mob intending to take Jackson
before his victim. but, the anger Of the
mob could not be restraineds and he
was hanged to the nearest tree. A
bowling mob OF over 1000 per-

The body was allowed to swing from
the tree for over an hour, where it was
viewed by thousands. jackson was
twenty-five years old. The mob is look
ing for Foley. who has been paying at
tentions TO Miss McMahon against her

other lynching is more than probable.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The chief rein
forcement to the Harrison movement
during the day was the arrival of Sen
ator CulIom. With him were Senators
FELTON,, of California, and Galinger, OF
New Hampshire, and Congressman j. c.
Burrows. OF Michigan. Senators Sawyer
and Stockbridge also came on the same
train. Asked about Harrison. Senator
Cullom said: Harrison is all right. So
far as can learn he is likely to be
nominated next week. In my judgment
his candidacy is growing iii public
favor the moro his administra-
ton and record are discussed.
Never has there been an
administration more able or free from
criticism so far as public measures are
concerned. Of course. there has been
more or less friction over the question
of patronage. Many men. ambitious
for positions in the public service or
DESTROYS OF controlling the patronage,
have felt hurt or indignant. but taking
it all together everything looks favor
able.
Il have made no calculations with
reference TO the vote to be given for
president at the convention, and have
not talked with those men who have
been, figuring on the result, but my
Judgment. based upon what L see. is
that Mr.. Harrison ought to be noml-

Mr. Blaine intends to do; whether he
will write another letter or not, but if
he is going to write one, l think he had

A CHANCE FOR ocHILrREE.

In the city of Tyler, state of Texas,
there resides remarkable man. He is
lawyer. and his name is BONNER, but
in neither of these particulars consists
his claim to celebrity. His questionable
fame rests on the fact that the governor
of Texas called him ga professional
liar" and he sought not the governors
gore-nay, he even pusillanimousiy filed
a fffty-thousand-dollar suit for damages.
Think of it! To be Texan and do
thing like thatI To come from the
very home and hunting ground of Col.
THOMAS OCHHTREE, and yet use
these mild methods to avenge an
imputation on his veraeity. Shades of
Houston save US, but something must be
done and done quickly. For the honor
of Texas there must he fight. Who
will jump into the breach, dear friends?
OCHILTREE himself is in London. but
for fighting chance perhaps he would
come home. Men of the MIIIBANK-
FoX-BORRoWE stripe are too tame for
him, anyway, and he can't get action
out Of them however much he tries.
Let him proceed to Texas and ask the
governor of that state to call him a nro-
feSsional liar. The governor will do il.
of course, there being no way to get
around it. Then the colonel and the
governor can carve each other, and the
honor of the state will be redeemed.

at least, that the electoral votes of

Nebraska must be turned over to the

throw the election into the house of

and with the best way to supply them.
His record is unspotted. He has no enc
mics within the party ranks; he is clean

forceful; in short, he IS the man we
need. and the Democratic party, in con-
yention assembled at Chicago. will. in
my opinion, show its wisdom by nomi-

There's been considerable carping of
late over his handshake, for since his
return from New York the last time, he
has actually had the temerity to offer
the high-in-air British handshake that
