Seattle, Wash, April 1e.-The Great
Northern Railway yards were as quiet
as a grave yard today, not wheel
turning, nor any freight being handled.
An offer was made by the strikers
to take out the mail cars, but the Of
fer was declined. The local officers
made no attempt to get men to take
the strikers places and apparently
none will be made, until after the con-
ference in st. Paul tomorrow, with the
chiefs Of the railway employees I'M
ions.
There is a small landslide on the
coast line, but superintendent Cope
land could not get a crew to go out
and clear it away
At a general meeting of railway en-
ployees, on all lines, it was determined
to uphold and sustain the great North
ern men in their strike. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected here, that a general
strike on the trans-continental lines
except the Union Pacific will be or
dered before the end of the week I'M

Any Moment May Sec Serious
Trouble Occur.

Any Moment May Sec Serious
Trouble Occur.
New Orleans, La, April 16.-The
steamer George Seeley arrived today
from Bluefields, Nicaragua, bringing
news to April r. The Picayunes cor
respondent writes:
On the evening of the 9Th instant,
a small schooner arriver from Grey
town, bringing mail advices and sew
eral Nicaraguan officials. Among those,
to the great surprise of even Lacayo,
was the Wilson murderer, Norbut Ar
guello, late acting governor of Bama.
AS soon as it became known that this
man was in town, the citizens began to
congregate in groups, where one could,
with the click of a pistol, hear, Yes,
the murderer is here" AS the Near
auguanS suspected the. peculiar move
ments of the Americans meant some
thing, the assassin Arguello was quick
ly placed under arrest and mas since
been confined in the provisional tomb.
1t would seem that Arguello escaped
from Rama to the interior, where he
was safe beyond a doubt His advent
here in connection with other matters
transpiring is a part of a play being
made by Lacayo.
In the mail brought by the same
ed States Minister Baker dated the 1st,
to United States Consul Braid, inform
ing him that the government of Mic
araugua had revoked his eXequator,
and his official papers. The invaders
and intriguers were jubilant over this
additional insult to the flag of the
United States, and openly boosted that
Lacayo had downed Braid and that
the Americans must submit to the laws
of Nicaragua, and that Charles A.
Lacayo will never permit Robert Henry
Clarence, chief of the Mosquitians, to
resume the control of the municipal
and national affairs of Bluefields and
the Mosquito reservation.
1t is rumored that the exequator of
the United States Consul Bingham
has also been revoked. Owing to the
|consuPs action while here, it is not
believed the Nicarauguan officials
would ever object to Mr. Bingham and
up to this moment the rumor lacks con-
firmation.
H. NJ. S. Magicienne is still here, hav-
ing relieved H. M. c. Canadie on the
3rd inst. Captain A c. Clark, her
commander, came ashore this morn
ing, and among other things, while
speaking of the actions of the Nicarau-
guam officials said: Gentlemen, if
you could wish to know what Lacayo
and his henchmen are likely to do to-
idiotic officialisms possible, and that
would be about what they will per-
form"
Therefore, while the town is quiet
this evening, we do not know what the
morrow may produce, and necessarily
we are constantly under arms, ready
to prove that we are Americans.

THE BUDGET.
Editorial COm1neats of the Various
NeMspapers.

London, April 16.-The Times. COM
menting editorially on the budget, says:
1t is only fair TO say that, allowing
for the difficulties and pressure the
chancellor of the exchequer had to con-
tend with, the budget is much less Oh
jectionable than the public had reason
to infer it would be from the predic-
tons of the Gladstonians. The Radicals
receive a rebuff by Sir William Vernon
Harcourt's recognition of the democracy
budget that when &. national enlerg ancy
demands a sudden increase in the rev e.
nue. the working classes are bound TO
contribute their portion in the form Of
indirect taxation.
The Standard says the budget pro-
posals appear 10 have been framed in
a sincere spirit.
The Daily News says Sir William
Vernon Harcourt has showed himself 20
be in the highest rank among the imam
ciers of the country. There is not a
man living, except Mr.. Gladstone, who
could have framed this budget or de-
livered such speech as that delivered
by the chancellor Of the eXchequer in
presenting it to the house of commons.

amendments of Lord Kimberly, secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs in
Guiding the change of clause seven.

LARGE SAILING SHIPS.
England Has No Five Masters, the
United States Has Two.

The largest sailing ship a1oat is the
French five-master La France,
launched in 1890 on the Clyde, and
owned by Messrs. Ant Dom Bordes ct
Fills, who possess a large fleet of sail
ing vessels. In 1891 she came from
Iquique to Dunkirk in 1O5 days, with
5000 tons of nitrate, yet she was
stopped on the Tyne when proceeding
to sea with $500 tons on the ground
that she was overladen.
There is not a single five-master sail
ing ship under the British flag. The
United States has two five-masters,
the Louis of $50 tons, both fore and
aft schooners, a rig peculiar to the
American coast. Ships having five
masts can be counted on the fingers of
one hand, but, strange to say, the
steamship Coptic of the Shaw, Savill
& Albion company, on her way to New
Zealand, in December, 1890, passed the
Governor Ames in fourteen degrees
south, thirty-four degrees west bound
for California, and two days later, in
six degrees south, tllirty-one degrees
west, the French five-master La
France, bound south.
Passengers and crew of the Coptic
might travel over many a weary
league of sea and never again see two
such object lessons in the growth of
sailing ships in quick succession. The
largest three-naster sailing ship is the
Ditton of 1850 tons.-New York Ledger

ECCENTRIC 0IAUDE BANKS.
AstOnishes Gotham By Her Genius
and Intellectual Spirits.

Maude Banks. the daughter Of the
old hero, General Banks, has a habit
of making intellectual sprints in New
York at the most unexpected mOments
On several occasions she has made a
profound sensation at the theatre by
doing what we used to call Clara Nor
ris business. with a great deal more
intelligence than Clara Morris ever
showed. Then she would disappear and
the metropolis would not hear Of her
again for months, when she would
break out in some new spot During
the week she walked into the Profess
siOnal Woman's league, and then, to be
idiomatic. walked all over it. She APP
pears to have furnished that excellent
company with enough new ideas on
woman's rights to stock it for the next
twelve months. At all events, she
reused it to a pitch of enthusiasm that
ought to make SOrosis melt in it's own
envy. Maude Banks is the demurest,
quaintest and cleverest free lance that
the Sargent school of acting has given
to the profession. When she has moth
ing else to do she writes a play like
Joan of Arc and then goes off and
PLAYS it herself in unknown places,
after which she retires to an old manor
house in Massachusetts, locks herself
uD in a library and lies fiat on her
back reading Ibsen till the cows come

An Irishman who served on board q

officers to haul in a towline of consid-
cradle length that was towing over the
taffrail. After pulling in forty or fifty
fathoms, which had put his patience
severely to proof, as well as every
muscle Of his arms, he muttered to
himself: Surely. its as long as today
and tomorrow! It's a good weeks
work for any five in the ship. Bad

THE ORIGINAL BRoNCHo BILL.
He's in MissOuIa and VIII Ride Any
Cayuse That Lives.

Missoula. April 16.-'-The original
Broncho Bilr' was in town yesterday
and attracted considerable attention by
reason of his Characteristic attire, says
the Anaconda Standard He is the only
original BrOncho Bill. All others are
base limitations and this gentleman has
suffered considerably in reputation by
reason of the failures of fellows who
attempted to break horses while using
his name. The name tBroncho BiIP'
is all right if the proper man wears it,
but if it is assumed by anybody who
has no right to it, he will be apt to get
into trouble. The original .Broncho
Bill can ride any sort of a cayuse that
travels, whether he bucks, pitches,
kicks, strikes or rolls, and he can rope
anything from a yearling colt to a
streak of lightning He will be pleased
to ride any untamed steeds that are
placed at his disposal.

Arthur Wild had an encounter with
two holdups early on Sunday morn
ing, but through a sllillful play sue
ceeded in getting out of it all right.
He was on his way home, and upon
reaching the corner of Sixth South and
West Temple the thugs jumped out
from behind trees and ordered him to
throw up his hands. Mr. Wild saw
the situation at the first break and.
quickly wheeling, ran back short
distance. with the men after him.
When he turned and faced them, he
had his pistol in his hand, and with
the distance between them, the ad-
vantage was all on his side, and the
footpads gave up the job and retreated.

twenty-eight men. Henry Meyer was
captain. His brother is captain of the
Belgian setamer Hermann, of the same

was heavily laden, and her cargo,
which consisted largely of beet sugar
in bags and cases of window glass, will
make it difficult to keep her afloat in
