Not Prepared to Stand the Censure of

Columbus says: The friends of Senator
Brice here say that if the Democratic con-
vention next week adopts resolutions GEN.
suring him for his couIse against the
Wilson tariff bill, he will at once resign.
This would lose the Democrats one vote in
the Senate, as Governor Mckinley would
appoint Republican. The Governor
would have the filling of the vacancy
en- tirely in his power, as the General
Assembly has adjourned sine diue and
cannot assemble except upon the Gov

he is said to be candidate to succeed Brice
in the Senate himself, and he other can

How Zelaya Maltreated
Americans.
CALLED DOWN BY BAKER.
lie Asked That the Minister Be
Sent Home.
NOW NICARAGUA MUST ANSWER,
Both England and the United States
Will Hold Her to Strict
Account.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 13.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent In Blue Fields,
under date of Septem ber z. describes the
manner in which fourteen foreigners,
laken prisoners at Bluefelds, were treated
in Managua. They were received at once
by President Zelaya, who treated them
quite cordially. After a brief con-
ference the prisoners were sent to
a hotel, and on the next morning
ten were ordered to pack up aud prepare
for journey. They were semitic Corinto,
an the Pacific Coasr. where they remained
until August %, when in the afternoon a
southbound Pacific Mail steamer carried
them to Punta Arena. Costa Rica. They
did not know even when leaving the hotel
what action bad been decided uprn, but
they concluded they were exiled. The
four remaining prisoners it had been de-
cided to place in different cities and con-
fpe them as state prisoners
Americans, Sam hampton OF New Or
leans and Captain George Whiteb banks OF
Philadelphia were among those exiled.
Others of the party were w. q. Brown,
Canadian; L. 0. Thomas, George Hudson,
w. I. Cufhbert, the Mosquito Attorney
General; MARYLAND Taylor, publisher of
Glover, John 0. Thomos and E. w. Hatch,
the British Vice-ConsuI. The four re-
naming prisoners will be sent to the four
principal cities in Nicaragua. where they
will suffer for perhaps months.
Minister Baker was informed of the
arrival of the American prisoners i'm
mediately, and called upon them at once.
Minister Baker prepared a most vigorous
protest and had it delivered at once to
President Zelaya. To this President Ze-
laya sent reply. but not until the pris-
oners were fairly on their way to Cornto.
In consequence of this protest of Minister
Baker, AS has often before taken place.
the Nearaguan Government cablpd to
Washington, demanding the immediate
recall of Minister Baker. When Minister
Baker received diseourteous replies to his
protest he cabled to Washington, and also
told ct the exile of the prisoners.
In reply to his cablegram, it is stated.
the home Government at Washing gton in
structed him to demand that the two
Americans be sent back or be allowed to
go back TO Bluefelds Immediately and
there they should be given a fair trial on
spe ecifed charges. President Zelava was
at once informed of the demand of the
United States and he agreed to fair trial.
The position of the English is not alto
gether clear as get, but it is safe to say
that they wilt take determined stand for
the insult offered Consul Hatch. Minister
G0sling is at present in Guatemala, and
upon hearing of The arrests telegraphed a
protest to President Zslaya. In return he
received an answer much on the order of
the one Minister Baker received.

NOT A BIG SUCCESS.
The Seal Patrol Powerless to

Naval Officers Inclined to Believe That
England Was Mainly Respon-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Advices were
received at the Navy Department to-day
from the Alaskan feet which bear out the
Associated Press dispatch regarding the
unseaworthy condition of the Adams. 1t
seems that the accident to the vessel was
so serious that it was necessary for the
Yorktown to tow her from Unalaska to
Sitka, distances of 100 miles. at a rate OF
eight knots an hour. At Sltka repairs
were made and the vessel proceeded to
San Francisco, where she arrived last
night. by slow stages. Had she been an
iron vessel instead of wooden she would
have been wrecked when she ran aground.
The Adams has been ordered to the Mare
Island Navy-yard, but it is said to be un-
certain whether she can be repaired to
meet the requirements of the service. II

THE WAR CANNOT DIE
Rev. Mr.. Cave Once More DiStin-
guishes Himself.
The Men of the South Should Keep
Green the Memory of the
South's Dead.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13-At a meeting of
the ex-Confederate Historical and Benevo-
lent Association tonight Rev. r. G. Cave
of this city was invited to speak. lie
made nn address on the Southern ques-
tiOn. of which this is a part:
"We have held our peace for thirty
years, while the Northern people have
represented us as an ignorant horde of
rebels and traitors. battling only TO hold
human beings in the bonds of slavery.
''lf it is true that the Confederates were
traitors and fought only for slavery, the
best thing that we can do is not to build a
monument, but to tear those down that
now stand, neglect the graves of the
Southern dead until the beating rain
smooths the little mound to the level of
the plain and nature covers the place with
its broad mantle of green, and with it the
shame OF the Southland.
"But if the men who followed Lee.
Jackson and Missouri's Price were not
traitors and rebels. but true-hearte1
patriots battling for their homes and ma.
tive land, We owe it to them and
to ourselves to be firm and TO
fsarlessly assert our rights. The time
mas come WHEN OuI feelings ana
onyictions must be crystallized into a
form that shall be thundered down to fu-
ture generations. 1t is said that the war
is over; let it rest in peace; that it is a
dead issue; but that is sheer nonsense.
The Civil War, as a political
issue. is dead, but as truth
of history it can never die. AS political
issue used to create sectional hatred and
feeling it ought to be dead. 1t is not the
South that has kept 1t alive as such for
thirty years.
"The Northern people are the ones that
have kept 1t alive. They are the ones
that have appealed to the hatred for the
South that they have in their bosoms to
gain Republican votes.
''We are willing to let the war die as a
political issue, but as truth of history
we can never afford to bury it. To the
Northern man who seeks to frighten us
into silence there can be but one answer.
Whatever rights the South surrendered at
Appomattox they never surrendered the
tight to speak the truth and preserve the
honor and memory of the Southern dead.
''To Southern men who think it mex
pedent to speak OF these things now, and
there are some such, am sorry to admit.
1 would say: we are divinely called to
stand guard over these issues until the
truth is fully kDowD.

MERCED'S INCENDIARIES.
Quantities of Phosphorus Distributed
Throughout the City.

MERGED, Sept. 13.-The fires which oc-
cured last night continued throughout
the morning. The fire company had been
kept at work continually on about twenty
fires which have broken out In sheds and
barns.
The loss sustained has been small, with
no personal injuries. Fortunately the
wind has been very light, enabling the
firemen to prevent the many fires from
spreading.
Some malieiously disposed party or
parties had distributed quantities of phos-
phorus throughout the city wrapped in
wet cloths and placed in barns securely
hidden under the hay. 1t has been found
in at least twenty-five different places in
town. aud all the fires have resulted from
this cause.
The citizens are greatly excited and vigil
lantly guarding their property. The
schools were dismissed this morning on
account of the fire. There is no definite
clew as yet TO the dispensers of the phos-
phorus. Several suspects have been
arrested and released.
Sheriff Warfeld issued a notice CON-
mandng all the people having no business
here to leave town before sunset. The
fire company is on guard expecting to be
called any moment.
Arrangements have been quietly made
for the protection of the town and every
one entertains feelings of uncertainty.
Citizens dread the approach of night, as it
is feared the trouble will then be- re-
newed.
A subscription was taken to-day for the
benefit of the iremeu. who have bean on

The property loss is estimated at 10000

eign houses were burned.
