eursionists from Brunswick arrived Ia
Friedrichsruh last week and marched 10
Prince BismSrck's house. In response To
an address from their spokesman bismarck
made long speech. His most notable re-
marks were these;
"Such opposition ss ! experienced when

hsnds of the old Emperor aud his nit istry.

van was knocked out in the third round.

the NlCARAGUAN CANAL.
Plans Being Formed ior It's Ownership BY the
Federal Government.

DuBrqun, July 2i.-At the meeting in
Chicago August 5 of the executive commit
tee of the organization formed at st. Louis
and New Orleans to promote the Nicara-
guam canal project, W. Ii. Moore of Du-
buaue will present bill for government
ow wnershlp of the canal. The bill will also
be offered at the coming extra session of
Congress As q substitute for the Sherman
bill, which latter provides for the govern
ments endorsement of the canal company
bonds. Senator Stewart of Nevada will
probably be selected TO offer the bill, whose
main provisions are
As the Nicaragua Canal Company cap
ital stock is sl0o, 600, 900 il shall succeed
to the rights Of the Maritime Canal Com
pany. 1t shall issue 81 ,O00 900 of stock to
Nicaragua. 81 500 900 to Costa Rics and
- 900 900 to the Maritime Canal Company
in payment for concessions. and shall re-
turn to the Maritime Canal Company what
it has actually expended with interest.
There shall be 10 directors, the President
of the United States naming nine, the
Maritime Canal four, Nicaragua one al d
Costa Rica one.
This act shall be void unless accepted
within hree months by the Maritime and
wo.k is let v ithin the estimates of the en-
gii.ers $50 900, ,0o0), All vouchers with
o $4,000 are to be approved by the en-
.Ineers and a member of the executive
committee of the directory, and all con
tractors for $50 900 or more, by the direc-
tory. Whenever the government pays
8 100 900 in canal accounts it shall STAMP
the amount Of u ,ck pail, and all stock In
excess of tie cost of the canal and conces-
sions siis Il be cancelled.
.'To expedite the work the government
shall advance 81 900 900 ss soon az the
contracts are let and approved. The direc
tors shall receive $40 per day and expenses
for their services"
Mr.. Moore thinks that government own
ership should be condition of government
aid. If this government simply Indorsef
the bonds. he says, dishonest contracts
would swell the cost of the canal three
times beyond tue estimates, and American
| commerce would have to pay interest OF
the inflated capitalization. On the o'he'
hand, he is confident the canal will pa,
enormously. and that if the government re
fuses to construct it England will gladl'
| do so.

CHAPTER II.

Mr.. Benjamin Buggs was on his way to the
Plrtypus Club. As was invariably the case with
him after pm, he was in evening dress. His
black cape coat. of the pattern made for wear
ing over dress clothes at night, was thrown
back, revealing the expansive shirt front which
covered an ample chest. In his right hand he
carried silk umbrella, neatly wrapped. His
hat was OF silk likewise. with q bell crown.
The shoes he wore were OF patent leather. On
the whole, his attire was beyond criticism-a
fact of which he was agreeably concious.
The street lamps were not lighted, though it
was past o'clock. 1t was what tho Phiadel-
phians term corporation moonlight" That is
to say, tho pale orb of night was supposed to be
shining. but it had gone behind cloud some
time previously. Mr.. Bugs took notice of this
circumstance as he turned into N street.
Neverthelsss.it did not occur to him to ticipate
mischief. He had no thought Of highwaymen
in that peaceful locality until suddenly he was
struck on the side of the head with what he
took on the instant to be a sand-bag.
Leapng around to face his assailant. he saw
nothing. There was no human being in sight
Something white lying on the ground attracted
his attention. He stopped and picked it up
1t was muslin bag with a fragment of string
attached to it.
