THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Senators Frye and Morgan Advocate
 That it be Built by the Government
 1t Would be of Immense Benefit
 to the Commerce of This Country.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Senators Frye and Morgan addressed the house commerce committee to-day in favor of having the government build the Nicaragua canal. Senator Frye argued that the government could build 1t for $s500O, 900; that the bonds will sell readily, while bearing sn interest of per cent. and that the interest money aud repairs would not exceed $5,- 500, 900 per annum. Governmental control would permit lowering of rates to $1 a ton, and profit would be made at that. It would cost the company $200,000, 900 to build the canal, and bonds could not be aoated for lsss than per cent. The sn- nual expense to the company would bs $12,- 900, 900 for interest and g ,000 900 more for repairs. They would be compelled to charge toll of $3 50 ton and that price would exclude all commerce of coarser grades, such ss lumber and cereals which would not be the case if the government guaranteed the bonds.
 The building of the canal would bring China and Japan 200 miles closer to the eastern United States and enormously in- crease our trade relations with those coun- tries. Senator Morgan said he regretted the failure of the senate in 1885 to ratify the Frelinghuysen treaty with Nicaragua. By the terms of that treaty the United States would have secured strip of land twelve miles wide, connecting both oceans, which would have proved Invaluable to | us.
 Representative Storer offered resolu- ton providing for the. appointment of three senators and six representatives to make personal inspection of the route | from Greytown to the Pacific. The reso- lution will be reported to the house to- |

A Large Furniture Warehouse Total-
 Iy Destroyed-The Fire Spread Rap
 idly and VogeI Rrothers' Building
 Was Gutted-A Boy Buried in the Ruins.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 15-Betwssn 12:30 and 1 o'clock this afternoon fire started in the large furniture warehouse of Henry Thee rsn 6 Brothers, at the northeast corner of Third avenue and Forty ninth street. Within twenty minutes after the flames were discovered the building, which was seven stories, collapsed and the fire then spread to the tenements on the north side of the building. Soon after o'clock two of these fell in.
 The fire spread down Forty-ninth street towards Second avenue and in few min utes the houses on the opposite side of Forty ninth street caught fire. The wood work of the elevated railroad structures was soon ablaze, and in this way the flames were communicated to several large stores on Third avenue, amongst them the dry goods store of Vogel Brothers on the west side of Third avenue. This building
 
 between Forty ninth and Fiftisth streets, and before the fremen had more than properly got to work in 1t the building WAS @ mass of flames. The fire then spread up- wards toward Fiftieth street.
 The flames on the elevated railroad structure were put out before much of the woodwork was damaged.
 It was 6 few minutes before i o'clock when the walls of the furniture warehouse building fell. They carried with them the entire side and front walls of the adjoining building, which was 8 five story tenement.
 The rapidity with which the fire travelled is accounted for by the fact that Thoeren's store was filled with infsmmable material.
 At 1:45 o'clock the fremen succeeded af- ter @ hard battle iH getting the flames un- der control. Thoeren's building was valued at $250, ,000 and Is total loss. The dam age to the stock is $75, ,000.
 Vogel Brothers building and stock were to the extent of $50, ,0e0, and the building at No. 211 East Forty-ninth street was entirely gutted, ss were the two houses at Nos. 212 and 214 East Forty ninth street.

Law for Their Guidance Laid DowR
 by a Boston Judge.
 BOSTON, Dec 15.-Judge Sherman in the supreme criminal court today laid down law for the guidance of newspapers in reporting trials. He says:
 "The newspapers, as I understand the law, have only the right to report the pro- oeedings that take place within the court room. They have no right to comment upon them and give them color or twist them. Newspapers have no right to pub fish articles anticipating what will take place elsewhere and allege them as facts in the case. They must oontine themselves to what takes place in the court room and report fairly what occurs during the pro- oesdings. It is proper that the outside public should know what happens in court through the newspapers, but the news papers must report only what does take place and after it has taken place."

STRIKING EXPERIMENTS

Conducted by Professor Scripture
 at Yale Psychological Laboratory.
 A set of unique experiments was made
 last night by Dr. Edward W. Scripture, ,di-
 rector of the experimental work in the Yale
 psychological laboratory, to determine the comparative mental and physical speed of swordsmen in ability to respond to 6 given signal. It has been urged that their time of mental reaction was much less than that of the ordinary human being, and last nights experiments will, Dr. Scripture thinks, finally settle the question. The experiments were produced on Dr. P. F. Connor of Columbia college, champion sabre swordsman of America; pr. Crane Hammond of New York, champion of the duelist class; A. Jacobi of the New York Athletic club and A. Postel of Yale. All the atovs are noted swordsmen and there fore model subjects of the experiments. Three sets of experiments were tried. The first had for its object ascertain ing the relative accuracy of the typical duellist. Each of the swordsmsn made ten lunges at given disk. Dr. Hammond was the successful competitor ss he struck the mark nine times out of ten. All of the com petitors were successful, however, in eight out of ten of their lunges, which Is phe- nomenally high average for accuracy. The second serieu of experiments WAS to note the time required in moving sword from one disk to another at 8 given signal. Measurements were obtained to 1-106th of a second in this and the third series which consisted in showing the average quickness of action of 8 swordsman in moving the weapon in an unknown direction, at given signal. All the results were smi- nently successful and Dr. Scripture sx- poets that to morrow when he announces the correct comparative records made, many questions hitherto perplexing In expert mental psychology, will be finally deter mined. There were present at the experiments pr. Soripture, Professor Lsdd, Dr. Bliss and Dr. Anderson of Yale. An exhibition in fencing and general svord msnship was given in the Yale gymnasium by Messrs. Jacobi, Hammond, Postol and O'Connor. About 1,5e0 specta- tors were present. An exhibition of the general work done in the Yale gymnasium was sleo given by the pupils of Dr. Ander son.

more cars, most Of which were loaded,

The company, after a very careful ex-

that the fire was due to a stroke Of light

the action of the elements over which they
have no control, consequently they hold
that they are not responsible far the dam

EVERY PLATE GLASS FACTORY IN

The First Tim~ In the History Of the
Trade That Such = Condition Of Affairs
Has Existed Many Workers Destitute.
PrrrsBuRo, July 14-For the first time
In the history Of the trade every plate
glass factory in the United States Is closed,
and that indefinitely. Fully 10000 men
are idle as a result.
The depression Is attributed 20 three ele-
ments -ovsr-production, tight money
market, and the arbitrary msthods Of the
plate glass trust.
There arc IL plate glass factories In this
country, where few years ago the entire
industry was carried on by two concerns.
1t has been the ustom to operate plate
glass factories the year round. notwith-
standing the usual summer shutdown OF
the other glass industries.
Every plant in the country is now
stocked with large surplus, with no or
ders.
1t Is the impression that the factories
will resume about the middle of Septem-
ber Many of the glass workers are In
straightened circumstances and are on
tirely dependent upon aid.
