an answer was received the Cleopatra got up steam and left for Bluefelds.
The Situation.

WARRINGTON, March 2.-The report that the British war ship, Cleopatra, had landed at Bluefelds, Nicaragua, and interfered in the dispute between Nicaragua and the reigning Mosquito chiefs, is regarded with keen interest, although this government has taken no steps beyond keeping informed through reports from MT. Bralda, the United States consul at San Jaun del Norte. The point involved in the dispute is not new but because of the fact. that Blue fields is only sixty miles from Grey town, the eastern terminus of the NI- caragua canal, it occupies location of great strategic importance toward that project. It may be that the United States will become involved in dis pute with the British.
 The latest information, dated Feb. 6, says that 200 Nicaraguan soldiers were about to leave for Bluefelds to over throw the Mosquito government. When the British relinquished the Nicaragua and Honduras protectorate over tho Mosquito country in 1860 it was with the condition that the Mosquito Indians should be permitted to maintain their government. The United States gov ernment always insisted that Nicaragua held absolute sovereignty over the Mos- quito country. It is thought the at- tempt to uphold this sovereignty in- duced the landing of the British troops.

 WASHINGTON, March 2-Congressmen Meredith of Virginia, and Funk of Illi- nois came near having personal en- counter in the house today and were with difficulty separated by friends. Meredith, in speaking against the pen sion appropriation bill, said that when man who is fat and healthy gets a pension he believed that that man lied when he swore he had been crippled in the army.
 ''If the gentleman is honest" inter. rupted Funk, land if he does not make that case known to the authorities he is not good citizen."
 'If the gentleman undertakes to in- sinuate 1 am dishonest" said Mere dith, and without finishing the sen- tence he started for Funk in a threten- ing manner.
 ''I did not say so," said Funk.
 You'd better not," said Meredith, still advancing towards him.
 Meredith clenched his fist and shook it under Funk's nose. Funk braced up and shouted that he would stand by what he said. Members crowded be- tween the two men and prevented a blow being struck.
 Crisp ordered Meredith to take his seat, but the latter yelled, "You are not my keeper"
 Funk shouted, "I will stand by my proposition either here or elsewhere. ;" The speaker ordered the sergeant at arms to seat the gentlemen and the episode ended.

 WASHINGTON, March 2-For some time it has been known that the Car negie Steel company had been in trou. ble with the navy department respect ing an irregularity in the quality of plate supplied for the armor of the new battle ships and monitors. Secretary Herbert made the following statement today:
 Last September the navy department ascertained that illegal practices were being resorted to by employees of the Carnegie Steel company in the manu- facture of armor for the government. It was ascertained that while all the armor manufactured was good, portions of it were not up with the contract. The steel company appealed from the secretary of the navy to the president who on January 10, assessed damages against the company at $40. ASA and the company settled. There is no evi- dence tending to show that the officers above those immediately superintend- ing the tempering and heating were cognizant of these irregularities.

 Russell Sage has never been suspect cd of great liberality. and many people were surprised to learn that he has giv- en $l l50, 900 in good cash for q dorsuitO. " at the famous old Troy Female semi nary. It is generally agreed that this bounty is due tO Mrs. Sage, who is not only the first woman trustee of the school, but very nearly the oldest liy- ing graduate and president of tho Elm ma Willard association, which is named for the founder of the school. Both of MT. Sage's wives were graduated there. and in their huncs he first gave $IOO. . 900, but as that did not complete the dormitOry he added $jO, OCO.
