Germany Said TO Have OnSred Bride to

New YORK, Oct "A curious story
about the United States and reciprocity
was put in circulation in this city yester-
day. The governments Of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy, 80 the story ran, had
observed with q burning jealousy the
great advantages which the Americans
were reaping from the reciprocity treaty
with San Domingo, and had entered
into n common conspiracy to destroy
that treaty.
Just what part Great Britain and
tally had taken or were TO take in these
maneuvers was not quite plain in
the story as 1t was given out but
the deeds OF Germany We're indisputa-
bly, set forth. Germany, 1t appeared,
had offered to Ulises Heureaux, presi-
dent of San Domingo, an annual bride
of $50, 900 for life if he would declare
the reciprocity treaty with the United
States abrogated.
at is true" said the Dominican con-
sui here, 'that the countries here men,
toned have made a demand in San Do
mingo, in which they claim that under
q clause to be found in former treaties
each is entitled to receive all the favors
from San Domingo that are or may be
extended to the most favored nation.
"That being the case, San Domingo
was naturally alarmed. The attitude
of Germany was especially dangerous,
as our tobacco trade is with Hamburg,
where we were threatened with a duty
that would have been fatal to our bust
ness For England and Italy we did
not care so much. Still, If we should
be compelled to accede to the demands
of the tripartite we would have to send
all our sugar 20 London. For this the
United States would reimpose the
sugar duties. was sent to see Secre-

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The labor outlook

the Clyde only one-third of the berths
are occupied and no new orders are
on hand. 1t is said that $4,000
hands who were employed in various
capacities about the yards are idle, and
those who are still at work are working
on short time. To make matters worse
for the employees, the masters have now
decided to make a general reduction in
wages and have announced that en-.
gineers, ironfounders and shipbuilders
will henceforth receive 10 per cent less
money for their labor than heretofore.
This reduction was to take effect on
October /. The Clyde miners have also
been notified that their wages will be
reduced pence per day on and after
the 10th of the current month.

TO JOIN THE OCEANS.
Feasible Plan for Building the Mo
aragua Canal
Address OF tho Committee Appointed by
tho Convention In st. Louis--Cost Of
the Immense Observation-Disclosures
rios Already Accomplished.

The committee appointed by the Ma
vtional Nicaragua Canal convention ut
its meeting in st. Louis, June and 3,
to prepare an address to the American
people giving information as to the
feasibility of the Nicaragua canal and
its commercial and other advantages
to the United States, has just finished
the preparation of such address. The
committee is composed of John s.
Jones, of Arkansas; ex-Congressman
Converse, of Ohio; r. w. Millsap, the
prominent banker of Mississippi; Capt.
j. F. Merry, of Manchester, Ia; S. H.
Hawkins, the railroad president of
Georgia; Capt Ambrose Snow, presi.
dent of the New York board of trade
and transportation, and eX-Gov. John
S. Pillsbury, of Minnesota.
The address is supplementary to the
resolutions adopted by the st. Louis
convention, which pointed out the adj
vantages of the canal and urged its
construction, ownership and control
by the American people rather than
the English, French, or any other ma
ton. 1t takes the position that a
canal, joining the Atlantic and Pacific
!. oceans. should be constructed for the
most important commercial, strategic,
and patriotic reasons, and says that

GUTHRIE, Ok, Oct. 3.-There will be

The territorial laws provide for separ-
ate schools for the negro children, and
though they have been given all the
facilities and accommodations equal to

schools. The matter is in the courts,
but the negroes are not content to

backed by crowd of adults, entered
white school and took seats, and it was
necessary to use force to remove them.
AS a result, open violence is advocated
by many. Negro preachers from the
pulpit are advising their people to use
force If necessary to get into the whit
schools, and an open warfare is likely
to break out at any time.

The Proprietor or u Hotel Meets His
Death Hunting Small Game.
YANKToN, S. D., Oct 4.-Charles
Winchester, proprietor of a small hotel
in this city, was burned to death by an
explosion of gasoline. He was sprink-
ling gasoline on the floor of q small
room to exterminate bedbugs. The
room is just off the hotel kitchen and
the explosive vapor generated in the
room pervaded the kitchen, where q
gasoline stove was burning.
The gas in the kitchen first took fire
and the flames rushed TO the small
room. An explosion followed and few
seconds afterward Winchester ran from
the hotel into the open air with every
particle of his clothing burned away,
his hair gone and his own flesh actually
smoldering. Every particle of his body
was burned to bleeding blister and he
endeavored to find relief by jumping
into tub of swill aLd then rolling in
the dust he had inhaled burning gas
oline, and early in the evening died.

iX sennrate YeArs:

The tonnage tributary now to the
Nicaragua canal, and which would
pass through after its opening, is over
1000, 900 tons a year. At 81 per ton,
the charge made by the Suez canal,
this would be $4,000, 900 in tolls. The
cost of operation and maintenance is
placed at less than 81, 900, 600, and 6, 000,-
900 tons would show 3 net income OF
S1l. 900, 900 per annum. The committee
is confident that within five years the
income will be over S2O,000,00O.
WHO SHALL BUILD AND CONTROL?
The committee says it is no longer a
question. whether the canal will be
built or not. The only question is as
to who shall build it, and who shall
control it when built? 1t says it has
been informed that European syndi-
Gates have already made overtures to
the canal company, but the committee
believes the United States cannot af-
ford by carelessness, hesitation or
neglect to permit an enterprise of such
magnitude and of such far-reaching adj
vantage to pass under the control of
any foreign company. at therefore
behooves u.s." the address concludes,
''as nation conscious of the power we
WELD and Of the greater influence we
may exert upon the destinies of this
continent, to perform the duties with
out delay which we deny other nations
the privilege of assuming, and to adopt
now the best means of securing the
early completion of this work, whose
advantages we are willing to share
with the world, but whose control
should never be allowed to pass out Of
our hands"

LAvAcA BAY GALE SWEPT.

Furious Storm Does Great Damage to
shippers.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct S.-A news
special from Port Lavaca says: Last
night furious gale swept Lavaca bay.
1t was the most severe hurricane since
the memorable one of 1886.
The harbor was full of boats. as it
was meeting day for the fish and oyster
mems union. The wind sprang up from
the northeast early in the afternoon
and continued to increase in velocity
until an hour after midnight.
During the evening there were signs
Of an approaching storm, and few
boats put down into Chocolate bay for
better harbor. At 1870 o'clock the
wind had attained its highest velocity
and continued there until after in the
morning. Over twenty-five boats were
badly damaged. Some were totally de-
stroyed. A number Of buildings near
the shore were wrecked. No lives were
lost. No estimate of the damage has
yet been made, as number of boats
have not been heard from On account
Of these latter much anxiety is felt.

| greater immediate advantage than the
canal in relieving the depression, and
making market for American cotton
in Japan, China and Corea, where al
ready the people are beginning to
manufacture cotton goods by machin-
cry. Japan imported over 1000, 900
pounds of American cotton in 1891,
most of which was shipped from New
Orleans to New York, and then by rail
to Vancouver and steamship to Japan.
WILL INCREASE AMERICAN TONNAGE.
At present the coal trade of South
America and the Pacific coast is monop-
olized by the English. The committee
thinks that if the Nicaragua canal were
opened the Alabama and West Virginia
coal would have a decided advantage
over English competitors, not to men,
tion the enormous amounts of coal the
canal company itself would use. At
the entrance of the Suez canal last
year 100000 tons Of coal were sold.
In competition with England for
Pacific ocean trade the Nicaragua canal
would give American commerce an adj
vantage of 2,70O miles, while, besides
the specific benefits, the committee
thinks great general benefits would ac-
cede 10 the entire Mississippi valley,
the lake ports and the Atlantic coast.
Shipbuilding and the shipping interests
in New England will receive new inn
petus. A new coasting trade will
spring up and American tonnage ON
the high seas will largely increase.
The committee says that great trans
atlantic powers are looking with COW
etous eyes toward the Nicaragua prof.
ect and that foreign governments would
very cheerfully and eagerly embrace an
opportunity TO take advantage of the
enterprise with unlimited capital and
prompt energy, but It conceives tito be
the patriotic and political privilege of
the United States to complete the ca
nal the commercial and naval SUI
premacy Of the nation which might Sc
cure control of the canal demands i'm
peratively that its control should not
pass away from the people of the United
States. 1t is made plain that two fleets
would be required to block an Amer

would be necessary elsewhere. as 4
