THE NIoARAGUA CANAL

George G. Knight Wants the Removal of
Warner MiIler-Smlth NJ. Weed De.
nounCes Knight.
New YORK, April 20.-There was an
exciting time at the meeting OF the
stockholders of the Nicaragua Canal
company called to-day by George G.
Knight, an ex-employe Of the company
who claims to represent 90 per cent of
the capital, and who earnestly desires
the removal Of Mr.. Warner Miller as
president OF the company and have the
project entirely reorganized.
Mr.. Knight opened the meeting by
reading long attack upon President
Miller and the management OF the COM
pany in general. He declared that the
money Of the canal company had been
wasted in useless salaries and the get
ting up OF canal conventions in various
parts Of the country, which merely fur
nished iunketing expeditions for the
officers.
He proposed to name Mr.. Weed as a
successor to Mr.. Miller. Tho latter, he
intimated, would be peculiarly accept
able to his parties because OF the pecu.
liarly happy connections Mr.. Weed had
with the present administration at
Washington.
Mr.. knight read scheme for an en-.
tirely new canal company to be organ
lied both under English and American
charters which would complete the
canal. BY the plan Of this company
both the British and American govern
ments would have tho joint use for
naval purposes OF tho canal.
Mr.. Smith NJ, Weed rose at the con.
clusion OF Mr.. knights speech and said
he came to tho meeting to protest
against tho use OF his namo in any way
with the movement which Mr.. knight
said that he was engineering. Turning
to Mr.. knight said: "Your statements
in reference to the company and its
management are every singular and one
OF them untrue"
Mr.. Weed grew vigorous as he denied
in detail tho statements denied BY Mr..
Knight lie said no protested in tho
name Of Mr.. Cleveland against the base
imputation that 1t needed man OF the
Presidents political faith to present
the canal matter to the administration.
He took 1t upon himself to say that
there was no man in tho country who
would DO better received at tho head OF
q great enterprise than Mr.. Miller, lie
closed BY saying that tho American peo.
pie would never permit the English
government to have joint interest in the
Cnnnl.
