Three women and one big, broad
shouldered man applied to Chief of
Police Glass yesterday for advice. 1t

had existed between the son and the
woman for some time. gssdf
Miles, it is said, then drew revolver

having obtained license, the two wefe
married. asa@

the position of affairs but in whisper
the husband and father, it is claimed,
threatened instant death If word was
spoken.
The party arrived at the police statioa
last night and told their story to Chief

NICARAGUA CANAL.


Commander Tayior's Plan for Construct
ing the Big Ditch.
New YoRK, June 14.--Commander Fl.
@. Taylor, U. S. NJ, has submitted to the
directory OF the Nicaragua Canal COM
pany plan looking to the early inaugu-
ration and completion of the enterprise.
The commander was formerly vice
president and general manager of the
canal, but has not been actively con-
nected with the enterprise since 1890
"The plan," he eaid, sis nothing more
nor less than the building OF
the great waterway by the peo-
pie OF the United States them
selves. in their individual capacities as
investors and capitalists, and not
through the action of their Legislature or
money centers. | have advised the
company to Issue propaganda to per-
sons Of all sorts and conditions within
thAaI pit9d Seta9Af. u g .hSs 4jitae & aha
and of the assured returna to investors.
The hest way is the establishing OF bn-
reaus in come 80 of the principal cities
of the United States whence q reg
ular campaign can be carried on, pam
phlets distributed, lecturers sent out
and other meaDa adopted to stir up and
sustain interest in the project. l conf
IDENTIFY believe that $20,000,0O0 can be
raised in this way, through the sale OF
bonds to the people, in less than six
months, and this $40. .000,0 will be suf-
flcisnt to insure the completion OF the
canal. The money to be raised by the
prepsganda is to be applied to the con-
struction of the canal at once. 1t is to
be built and built quickly. Ii we can
not build 30-ioot canal, we will build a
25-foot one. We will have q canal that
will admit ships passing through it from
the Atlantic and Pacific, and vice versa,
by the year 1900."
