SOME DANGERS Or WAR;
Secretary Tracy Talks about What
Might Bring on
TROUBLE TO THIS GOVERNMENT.
There Is no Need for Further Defense on the Great
Lakes, but the St. Lawrence Should Be lnclad-
ed in the Unarmed Neutrality Treaty.
The only Danger Is Dispaied
Presidential Election.

New YORK. March 6.-In an inter-
view with Secretary OF the Navy Tracy
published here, these passages occur:
Does ii ever occur to you, Mr.. Sec
retary, that on our great lakes where
we have so many large growing cities,
we are next To defenceless|
That is in accordance with treaty
regulations which prohibit either the
United States or Canada from keeping
more than one war vessel on the lakes
and that one OF very little account in
these days. do not know that IL
would be necessary to alter this state
OF things. Hitherto IL has worked very
well for both countries. IL We were TO
increase our armament on the lakes,
the other side would do the same.
think, however, that the
treaty should be extended 10
embrace the 81. Lawrence River as well
rs the lakes, for now British war ships
come into the ST. Lawrence and they
can lie close to the entrance OF the Well
land canal, and they might pass through
suddenly in case OF quick springing
up OF war, as wars in these days happen.
Congress alone has the power TO declare
war. The President cannot do so. lie
might exert an illegal power under
great provocation, but that is not prob
able II the British under the treaty
would keep the lower 81. Lawrence
clear of their war ships we would have
less apprehension about the upper
lakes"
"Mr. Secretary, what do you see
hanging over this country give us APP
prehensiOn?"
II see nothing but disputed Prcsi-
dental election TO inspire us with
alarm. IL we ever come 10 that we may
find ourselves instantly in the situation
OF the South American republics. whose
rock OF shipwreck has been disputed
Presidential elections.
What is the remedy in this country
against such disputed eections?"
Nothing but public opinion sustain
ing the sanctity OF the suffrage"
The sanctity OF the suffrage has
been blasphemed good deal In oil d.
rections OF late?"
Eyes, and when that is general we
are already South Americanized. Not
respecting the right TO vote, but count
ing the vote. setting the vote and It's
sanctity aside-these are the menaces OF
our system"

Brazil, Ind, Greatly Excited Over the
Question as to Which One Will Become
Her Husband.
BRAZIL, IND, March s.-Brazil is at
the present time experiencing stir in
society circles, the like OF which was
never recorded in her history, over the
announced marriage, which is expected
every day, of c. G. Goldman, of Min
neapolis, and Miss Martha Clifford, Of
this city. The story afoat is as follows:
About years ago Goldman had o posi-
tion in the w. ID. McCul-
Ion clothing store, of this city, and
during that time he became acquainted
with Miss Clifford. He remained here
but a short time, when he accepted a
position in Minneapolis, but continued
his relations with Miss Clifford % cor
respondence. Samuel Grimes, one OF
the proprietors OF the Brozil Daily
tines, fell in love with Miss Clifford,
about two years since, and they were
engaged TO be married. So Mr.. Gold
man, on hearing OF the intended mar
riage, fastened TO this city
and insisted upon Miss Clifford
keeping her VOW with him. The ex-
cited girl was crazed when she faced
her ardent lovers. Notwithstanding
the strong resistance Of Miss Gifford's
mother and friends, she clung to the
Minneapolis man, leaving her other be-
trothed in despair. 1t is rumored that
Grimes vows he will wreak vengeance
on his rival. The case is causing in
tense excitement, as the parties inter-
ested are of the best society Of this

A STRANGE DEED.
A Man and His Vile Commit Suicide In
Their Room In washlng gtoB ID. G.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March 6.-Two
shots fired almost simultaneously In 4

an artist and his wife, startled the in
mates Of house SIS Fourth street.
Northeast to-day. The door was forced
open by an officer, when husband and
wife were found lying on the bed dead.
From their position the woman had
evidently lain on the bed and allowed
her husband TO place the pistol 10 her
mouth and FIRE. Theh sitting up he
turned the bloody weapon TO his own
mouth, fred and dropped back on his
pillow dead
Dependency, the result Of long and
painful illness, was undoubtedly the
cause OF the deed, but the reason for
the wife consenting to the rash act Is q
mystery. A theory is advanced that
she worshipped the man 10 that extent
that she was willing to die with him.

MITCHELL IS ANXIOUS.
He Says Sullivan is q Blufler-He Must

Fight or Squeal.
ST. LOUIS, March 6.-Mitchell and
Slavin arrived here last night from New
Orleans. Mitchell was asked whether
he had noticed the challenge Of John
L. Sullivan through his representative.
Duncan Harrison.
"Yes," said Mitchell, 81 have read II,
and have made up my mind just eX-
actly what will do in the premises.
Sullivan gets in his usual bluff by de-
claring that he will fight for no less
than 5000, the purse to be made up
by the Olympic Club Of New Orleans,
and he adds that / must wager $4,000
on the fight in addition. No one will
give the big mug credit for being mod
est. will fight Sullivan for any purse
that the Olympic Club may see ut TO
hang up, and | will make him q little
side bet of S., 900 that / lick him. This
is as heavy as | will invest, as / will
wager my own money. He wants to
name the week and terms, but he
cannot name the stake. The club
that is to put it up will do
that part OF the business itself. In
nv opinion the London prize-ring rules
are the only rules TO fight under, but l
will accede anything that Is fair, In
order to bring about this fight with
Sullivan, and l will fight him under the
MARQUIS OF Queensberry rules. He is in
il now, and intend to make him fight
or show the white feather. He wants
everything 10 suit his own notions and
guess l will have to give him every
thing. will fight him in 16-foot ring
rather than have him back out, as
feel confident of giving him a good lick
ing.
"You ask about my hands. To tell
the truth they are not the best in the
business. You see | have bandage
around my left hand. ! hurt it on Up
ham In New Orleans last Wednesday.
1t is not serious. I'll say this about
Sullivan's hands. If he whips me he
whips me he will be obliged to break
both of his hands, but do not believe
that he will live up to the challenge
that his representative has Issued"
Mitchell said that he had received a
letter from a gentleman In Indiana who
offered TO back him for $4,000 against
Sullivan, and would give him half if he
won: If he lost he would give him
81. 900.
Mitchell has hatred for Sullivan,
vet he curbed his language pretty well
and used very little harsh language to-
ward the big fellow.
Slavin had little to say about the Ros-
ton boy, which was as follows:
sullivan feels perfectly safe in chal-
longing me to fight, because | fight
Jackson in London May 30. II whip
jackson ! will return TO America and
make Sullivan fight me. | think that
Sullivan is big buffer in this Mitchell
affair, especially. Charley is thirty
five or forty pounds lighter the Sulli-
van, vet he will give him everything,
including a whipping. These stories
in regard to my drinking are a pack OF
lies. have drank but two bottles OF
beer in two months"
This statement by Slavin was pretty
neryy. He was so full while he was
showing here at the Standard theater
recently that his back teeth were float
ing. Slavin says that Maher is rank
coward. and that he knows nothing OF
ring tactics. Slavin aud Mitchell both
left tonight for Chicago.

NICARAGUA Canal.

United States Senator Morgan of
Alabama, who has actively inter

Nicaragua Canal, will visit San
Francisco some time in October.
Action favoring the Nicaragua
Canal was recently taken by the
National Board of Steam Naviga-
ton, in session at New York.
Resolutions were adopted declar-
ing that the construction of the
canal will tend to create new mari
time routes by which ports on the
Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic
Ocean will be brought nearer to
each other, thereby facilitating
commerce that the transportation
of commerce now diverted from
the merchant marine of this coun-
try will be restored to it by the
canal that in the opinion of the
Board there is no public work in
the country better calculated to
advance the interests of shipping
throughout the. world than the
Nicaragua Canal that we respect.
