The government of Nicaragua is
anxious that the present Canal
company should resume work. 1t
prefers to see that work prosecuted
by American brains and capital
than to see it pass into the hands
of foreigners. The United States
government should meet Nicara-
qua half way in this matter, and
aid the company in the manner
proposed in the relief act set forth
in the late congress.

MIR. Mendonca Amused by the Story
About a Ram,

Senior Mendonca, Brazilian minister 10
the United States, was seen today at the
legation with reference to the report from
New York that agents of Admiral Mello
were endeavoring to purchase a tug or two

to be somewhat amused at the story and
explained that he believed it grew out of

Destroyer to Brazilian port. The minister
said he had not heard of the presence in
this country of any agents of Mello and as
far as the ramming story was concerned.

doubted, he said, the efficacy OF a ram upon

The minister was asked whether or NOT
there was anything in the action of Flint
q company, as agents of the Brazilian
government, which could be construed into
violation of the neutrality laws of the
United States? He replied, most emphati-
cally, that there was not. Flint & Com
pany cannot enlist men for service under
the Brazilian flag, nor are they even at
tempting to do SO. AS a commercial ven
ture they are engaged in supplying war
materials and munitions to a friendly no.
ton, and they employ men simply to de-
liver that material safely. There is no
question of service with Brazil involved,
II some of the sailors engaged desire to
enlist when they reach Brazil that Is an
other matter entirely. But there is no en-
listing going on in the United States.
The vessels FL Cid and Britannia will,

flag. because we have purchased them bnt
they will not become really men-of-war in

Indications Point to the Reelection
of Mayor LatrObe.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Md. Nov. THE election
Is going Off quietly. and up to / pm. a light
vote has been polled. All the Indications at
present point to the reelection Of Mayor
Latrobe and the full democratic ticket
Large numbers of the negro votes are re-
naming away from the polls, and many Of
those who are voting are casting their bal
lots for the democratic candidates.
On the other hand, Mayor Latrobe's name
Is being cut by large numbers Of democrats.
some of whom are voting for the republican
candidates. while others are voting for the
citizen candidate. f. w. Schultz. It is as
serted at the republican headquarters that
the democrats have brought hundreds Of
repeaters here from other cities and are
voting them In all parts of the city on the
names Of those voters who are absent
Many OF these repeaters are said to be
negroes, who are voting the names Of those
who have been bribed to stay at home
The republicans also claim that If the cleo
ton were fairly conducted and none but
legal voters allowed to participate they
would be able to elect their ticket. But no
one claims that the election is fairly con-
Quoted. and the party in power Is using
every effort to poll a majority.
As II Is the chances are that the demo-
S Srats VIII elect the mayor. the entire legis-
iative ticket, large majority Of the men,
Ders or the city council, the sheriff. clerk of
the city court and the two judges of the
supreme court. Mayor Latrobe will prob
ably run behind the rest Of the ticket
In the state Controller Smith dem.) will
PROBABLY be reelected by a large majority.
while the democrats will control the legis-
iature by large majority. The democrats
nave plenty OF money and are using 1t un-
sparingly, while the opposition is short OF
iunds and buying no votes.

PARTISAN PRACTICES.
This IN What Non-Pubiicity Rule In
Said to Conceal.

The rule of the Department OF the Inter
Tor that no news of promotions, reductions
or dismissals in the force shall be given to
the press is an unpopular rule with many
Of the officials. This rule is enforced by
another, to the effect that should any clerk
give out the prohibited information, that
clerk shall be at once dismissed. The argu-
ment used in favor Of these rules Is that
when the department discharges a man for
any cause political or otherwise IL has
such sympathy for the unfortunate man
that it -efrains from publishing his misfor-
tune. One of the leading pension officials
when asked by the reporter for The Star
as to what he thought Of the rule. said that
when a clerk was fired it was nobody's
business.
The opponents Of the rule declare that It
Is a subterfuge and that IT is used to con-
ceal partisan practices. A clerk when dis
charged has no redress. II he should tell
of his own dismissal this fact would defeat
any chance he might have for reinstate-
ment- Then should his fellow-clerks try to
defend him they. too, would get the ak. No
matter how efficient clerk might be, he
may be dismissed on the general fiimsy
charge of good of the service"
Promotions will not he given to TIE press
they say. because they are based in many
instances not on the records Of the clerks,
but on other and more personal reasons.
