Advantage Acquired by the
New Ship Canal.

COPENHA GEN, Nov. 9.-Copenhagen was
declared free port this morning and ton

to goods in transit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The opening of
the port of Copenhagen as port of entry
marks the Inauguration of an aggressive
commercial policy for Denmark, by which
the Government hopes to greatly increase
its commercial importance
Count de Reventluw, the Danish Minis
ter, says all tonnage dues upon vessels
entering the harbor, which amounts to a
considerable tax on them, are removed
and nominal percentage charge imposed
as substitute. Extensive warehouse ac-
comm odationS are provided, which enable
shippers to store goods at small cost for
resbipment and distribution among the
other ports of the Baltic without paying
duty. The system is relied upon to make
Copenhagen the commercial center of the
Baltic and TO Increase its incidental busi-
ness by making it the central depot for
the commerce of Russia, Germany, Eng
land. the United States and other powers
which rass through the Baltic and the
station for transatlantic shippers to leave
their cargoes for distribution to other
points. Improved machinery for unload
ing and loading cargoes is provided, and
the works of the harbor. which is one of
the finest in the world because of the alb
sence of tides, have been greatly improved.
The system is designed to offset in a
measure the advantages that Germany ex-
poets to realize from the ship canal just
opened across the peninsula from the
Baltic to the North Sea and to give to Den-
mark a share Of the business from the
canal. The United States Minister at
Copenhagen has declared in interviews
given to the press of Denmark that the
new arrangement will incr ease the COM
merce between that country and America.

A Pittsburgcr, who is q fisherman,
told me a strange story about a guide
who attends him on his excursions on
Lake Erie. The old guide lives at Put.
in-Bay, and every night when at home
he was accustomed to put out a night
line for a catch of fish. One summer it
was q regular occurrence for q long pc
riod for him to get up and find the fish
removed from his hooks and placed in a
basket in his cabin. He was at q loss to
account for these strange proceedings,
knowing of 10 person SO kind as to save
him the labor.
One morning some of his friends
happened to be near his place very early,
when they found the old fisherman out
in his boat getting the catch of the
night from his lines. He apparently
paid no attention to the s~alutations of
his friends, but proceeded with his
work. After he had completed the round
of his lines he rowed slowly back to the
landing, making fast his boat and re-
moving the basket of fish from it. As
he came toward his friends with the
basket upon his shoulder they noticed a
strange expression on his face.
He passed them by without noticing
their presence, when one of the party
ran after him and caught his arm. This
seemed to bring the old fisherman out of
his strange state, and he looked around
as if awakening from a dream. He
could not explain why he was there and
concluded he had been getting up every
morning in his sleep and performing his
work without knowing it. Thus the
strange incident was explained. Pitts

terested are seeking for objects on

blames it on the delegation from the
town and hops on to it in the following
unchristian and unbrotherly manner:
"When half the members of a delegation
are ofice-seekers, each utilizing every
opportunity to advance his individual
personal interest, each thinking that he
is going to win, what power On earth can
organize the delegation for effectual
work? Who can make a pledge
to deliver the vote of the delegation?"
This is what the boys call hot shot and
from it one would Judge that every re-
publican in Neihart wanted an Office and
that the Herald is mad because its man
could not cell out the delegation in his
interest and secure a nomination by a
swap. Just think Of a republican news

putting up jobs, and trading and deliver

permissible in a republican convention.

the meantime what are the disappointed
ones going to do about it. They got
euchered out Of nominations to which
they thought they were entitled by I'M

thirsting for revenge. They are entitled
to this, for it is bad enough to be beat in
honorable and open competition, but to
be 'swapped" into oblivion, is more pun
ishment than deserving men should be

SAUCY INSECTS
Nicaraguan Government Has Been
Imprisoning and Exiling
Americans.
USUAL DIPLOMATIC PROTEST
Has Been Entered, But No Vigorous
Demand Backed Up by U. 5.
Soldiers.

New ORLEANS, La, Sept. 14-The
Associated Press correspondent in Blue
fields, under date OF Sept. Z, describes
the manner in which fourteen foreigners,
taken prisoners at Bluetields, were
treated at Managua. Ten of the prison
ers were sent to Coringto, on the Pacific
coast, where they remained until Aug.
80, when in the afternoon a south-bound
Pacific steamer carried them to Punt
Renas, Costa Rica. The four remaining
prisoners, it had been decided to place
in different cities and coniine them DIS
state prisoners. Sam Lamwton, Oh
New Orleans, and Capt. George Will
banks of Philadelphia, were among the
exiled. Others of the party were w. H.
Brown, a Canadian; l.. o. Thomas, Geo.
Hudson, w. 7. Cutbbert, the Mosquito
attorney general; MARYLAND Taylor, pub
Usher OF the Bluetields Messenger;
Washington Glover, John o. Thomas
and r.. w. Hatch, the British vice con-
sui. The four remaining prisoners will
be sent to the four principal cities of
Nicaragua, where they will suffer for
months. Minister Baker prepared a
vigorous protest and had it delivered at
once to President Zalaya. To this pro-
test President Ialaya sent u reply, but
not until the prisoners were on their
way to Coringto. In consequence of
this protest, the Nicaraguan govern
ment cabled to Washington demanding
the recall Of Minister Baker. When
Minister Baker received a discourteous
reply to his protest, he cabled to Wash
ington and also told of the exile of the
prisoners. In reply to his cablegram, it
is stated, the government at Washing
ton instructed him to demand that the
two Americans be sent back to Blue
fields and be given a fair trial on speci-
fed charges. President Zalaya was at
once informed of the demand of the
United States and he agreed to a fair
trial.
