buttons and the Convention Adjourns.
ST.. LOUIS, June 3.-The Nicaragua canal
convention re-assembled at 10 O'Clock this
morning. The report of the committee on
credentials was Immediately presented. 1t
accorded each delegate present one vote in
the proceedings. No contests or irregu-
larities were reported, and the roll of dele
gates having been. read the report was
adopted. The committee on permanent
organization presented its report, naming
Hon. George l.. Converse, of Ohio, perma-
nent president; Horace Davis, of Cali
fornia, senior vice president, with an adj
ditional vice president from each state.
and an executive committee on the same
basis; permanent secretaries, d. II. Nc
Adam and ]. C. BroadwelL
Mr.. Converse, on assuming his duties,
thanked the convention for the honor con-
ferred, and then, reverting to the objects
of the convention, declared the build
ing of the canal as necessary
as casting cannon or building ships in
time of war, and for that reason COM
mercial necessity. The government
should have control of SO great water
way, which. he felt. should be constructed
at once. His remarks were received with
great applause. The committee on rules
decided that all resolutions be referred
without reading, and all speeches be linn
tied to ten minutes. An invitation from
the Worlds fair authorities that the Mic
aragua canal be represented at the worlds
waterways convention at Chicago in 1898
was referred to the executive committee.
The report of the COMMITTEES on resolutions
was presented and read.
The preamble recites the history Of the canal
and the benefits to accrue from it. The resolu-
tions state that the United States is more inter
ested in the canal than any other
nation and should aid In building
it upon terms which are safe to the govern
ment and just to the company. The tolls of the
canal should be reasonable and regulated
by the government that commerce shall
not be oppressed thereby. 1t Is re-
Quested that the United States government
give such financial aid and assistance to the
canal as shall be necessary to secure speedy
completion of the same. 1t resolved that two
committees Of five members each be appointed,
one to visit each of the great political national
conventions and urge the adoption by such
conventions OF resolutions favoring the canal
and asking aid from the government. The con-
veution recommends to the people of the United
States investments in securities of the company
until the general government shall have acted
thereon.
The report was adopted. Then, after an
address by Rear-Admiral Ammen and the
usual resolutions attending the closing of
gathering, the convention adjourned.

The third game of the Seattle-Tacoma

Gilliland is reported as recovered

"And will You do nothing TO save
him?" she asked, Indignantly, but her
question was saperfiuous, for before
the sentence was finished he had flung
off his coat, waistcoat and shoes, and
had plunged into the river few yards
above the spot where the painting dog
was struggling.
How boldly he struck out to C@saTs
side! There was such n power in his
movement, that Kate never for an in

was simply absorbed in thrilling adj
miration of his manly courage and
superb strength. Putting his arm
around the dogs neck he gently forced
him down the stream to q spot where
the bank was lower, and in couple of
minutes Cesar was rolling on the grass
of the meadow, whining his satisfac-
ton ut his unexpected release from q
watery grave.
The young gentleman did not look
much of hero, as he stood with drip
ping garments in the shallow water,
but in Kate's eyes he was a Bayard,
and when he said: "As cannot get in

haps had better fetch your hat" and
plunged once more into the river, she

CHAPTER H-CoETINUED.
But in the very midst of reading,
Miss Balderstone made a dead pause,
looked for moment with q puzzled eX-
preston ut the page before her, and
burst out with little cry of surprise.
"Why, Kate, child, the date! Quick,
give me Honoria Grahame's first letter to
you. All, / thought so. This is indeed
the strangest thing / ever saw"
ooh, what is it?" Kate cried, with
feverish anxiety, as the schoolmistress
paused in her hurried CALCULATIONS and
sat gazing with blank look ut the
two letters before her.
"Am l out of my senses, Kate
-Grahame, or does that woman really
write that Sir Harry died at Kistmun
.on The 9th of january"
''She certainly does say So" the girl
replied, with round, wondering eyes.
Sand this letter of his is dated the
tenth of the same month. Give me the
envelope that may see the postmark.
Thank you, my love; but / am afraid
this is not of much help to us, for the
earliest stamp upon it is that OF the
post Office ut Hyderabad, dated January
81, and we must make allowance for its
coming down the mountains probably
by native carrier"
perhaps he misdated his letter"
Kate said, white with suppressed eX-
.citement, ''or, Miss Grahame may have
made mistake"
HE may; but the letter could not
have been written long before his death,
and you see that he says nothing about
his illness. Do you know if jungle
fever is n protracted or quickly con-
Stunning disease, Kate?"
'Oh, yes; it prostrates men very sud-
denly and they often die in few days,
but if they manage to get to the pure
air of the mountains they generally re-
cover"
(which Sir Harry did; that is con-
:fessed fact. AS for Honoria Grahame
making n mistake, we can soon set that
AT rest, for the Illustrated London News
has long obituary notice and there
would be no blunder there"
And the ladies found in the columns
of that popular journal full corrobora-
uion of Miss Grahnme's statement that
H'this distinguished officer breathed his
last ut Kistmun on the 9th of January"
my dear" said Miss Balderstone, 81

many advantages she has enjoyed under
your roof and accept position where
her talents will be appreciated"
Certainly, though there Is no need
Of hurry"
"Weil, oddly enough, an English lady,
daughter of nn old client Of mine, Is
married and settled in Canada, and last
week my wife received letter from
her asking her TO engage and send ont
TO her woll-educated young lady to
act in the capacity Of companion. The
situation would be charming one, and
the salary she offers is five hundred
dollars year, equivalent to about u
hundred guineas"
81 need hardly say that ! accept so
tempting an offer" Miss Daldcrstone
said gratefully, and went away with the
full belief that Mr.. Colburn was several
degrees too good for this vale of tears.
And that astute gentleman forthwith
telegraphed to George Archer, Hydera-
bad, Hindustan: 1.-THE small piece OF

witness. They rose as quickly as possible,
as did Commissioner Raum, who be-
came almost as excited as his OPP
ponent. The members of the commit
tee and Mr.. Cooper seized Mr.. Enloe
and held him before he could get
around the corner of the table. They
forcibly prevented him from proceeding
further and in the confusion Mr.. Enloe
exclaimed: You did say it." 10
which the commissioner retorted: Il
say l didn't"
As Mr.. Enloe at this made an effor-.
to free himself the commissioner shout
ed: Il don't want to have any trouble
with you, but the man don't live that
fear"
Mr.. Enloc renewed his struggles, but
his efforts to get away were unavailing.
The commissioner reiterated, 1.-The man
don't live that fear" and then to avoid
trouble he took up his hat and marched
out of the room, Chairman Wheeler,
Just as he was going out of the door,
calling out that there was no need for
the witness to leave as he would be
amply protected.
Judge Paysop remarked that the wit
ness had right to leave when he was
SO treated, to which Mr.. Wheeler re-
piled that the committee had protected
and would protect the witness.
To Mr.. Enloe Mr.. Wheeler expressed
regret at the scene, said that he could
go on the stand and correcta statement
that Mr.. Enloe thought untrue and the
committee could judge between wit
nesses, and added that it was improper
that violence should be manifested in
such a place.
After expressions of regret by MEM
Sers at such an occurrence, the commit
tee adjourned.

IN A LAWYERS OFFICE.


Miss Balderstone did not go to Brigh-
ton that day. Next morning she ar-
irayed herself in silk attire and made a
descent on Furnival's inn, where the
great law firm Of Colburn & Carslake
spun their webs to catch the litigious.
"Ah, my dear madam, / am indeed
delighted to see you," Mr.. Colburn ex-
-claimed, with so much effusion that his
manner brought blush to his visitors
cheek, though she knew that the rotund
little attorney was verging on sixty and
had wife and seven grown daughters
mt his Richmond villa.
Il called on you, sir" she said, with
difficulty rescuing her hand from his
ardent grasp, ito confer with you con-
corning an incident in connection with
