MINISTER BAKER HEARD FROM
He Thinks a Warship is Needed in
Nicaragua.

49, a w Is Neeueu IN
Nicaragua.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-For the first
time since his departure for his post as
Minister to Nicaragua, Mr.. Baker has
been heard from officially. Secretary
Gresham to-day received a cablegram
from him, sent from Managua and dated
yesterday. The cable came by way of
La Libertad, Savador. The Minister tele-
graphs that he thinks a war-ship is neces-
sary at Corinto. OF course he is ignorant
of the fact that the United States ship AL
lance is fastening to that point on the
west coast and is expected to arrive on
Wednesday. He further says that the
war between the Government and the
revolutiOnists will probably become Bit
ter as the revolutionists are aggressive
and powerful. No news has reached the
department indicating that American
residents of Nicaragua are being treated
with harshness, as reported in the teIe-
grams by the way of Salvador. The At
lanta has arrived at Greytown
Captain Higginson reports landing 100
marines to look after American interests.
but withdrew them Saturday evening at
the suggestion of the United States Con-
sui. Secretary Gresham has heard moth
ing from any authentic source about the
proposition to establish a protectorate
over Nicaragua. DIR. Guzman, Minister
from Nicaragua, explains, in speaking of
the probability of protectorate being
established by the United States, that his
purpose was to limit his remarks to the
canal, and not to apply them to the entire
country. His belief is and always has
been that if the Nicaragua Canal is built
the United States will assume protector
ate over that work.

Fast Time Made Between New York
and Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 29.-The west-bound
exposition flyer over the New York
Central Road, which left New York yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock to make the
trip to Chicago in twenty hours, ar
rived here at $3.50 A. NJ, three minutes
ahead of time.
The entire trip was made without incl
dent or accident. Generally between the
stations the train was slightly ahead of
time, and where the engines We're changed
the SHIFT was generally made quickly
enough to allow of pulling out even with
the schedule.
Terrific speed was developed at times.
On one stretch of ten miles the time was
ak minutes three seconds, or a small
fraction over ninety-nine miles per hour.
at South Chicago the train was five
minutes behind time, but it was made up
on the run into the city, with three min
utes to spare. 1t is thought that the city
ordinances governing speed were broken
to fragments to do it.

A DIsLoYAL DEMOCRAT.

The Kansas City Star, in an editorial
on '.T'he Value of Cold" makes some
wonderfully clear and concise state
ments for Democrat gold-bug. IS
definitions of the difference between the
respective powers Of fiat and "credit"
are absolutely correct. If the use OF
gold and silver should be discontinued
by the governments of the world as
money, no man could approximate the
value of either of these metals. That
they would instantly tumble in price
everybody ought TO understand; yet we
have supposed financiers and protested
statesmen WHO don't seem to know
that such would be the case. 1t may be
best, as it is certainly the most conven-
lent. when it comes to international
commerce, that the material of money
should contain in and OF itself an appre-
ciable value to the amount for which it
calls, measured by the standard values
of the world, but ''money" in the alb
stract, after all, is but the representation
of value, is but token Of credit which
the custodian holds against community
and its products. 1t is the credit back
Of the superscrIp tions on gold and silver
that gives the value which so largely
embraces the worth of these metals as
money not only but as metals.
