NICARAGUA WEAKENS.
Great Britain's vigorous Action In the
Case of Consul bingham.

Oase OF Consul bingham.
NEW ORLEANS, May --latest advices
from Bluefelds report that in answer to
the demand of British Minister Goslin
Nicaragua has cancelled her withdrawal
OF British Consul Bingham's exequator
Bingham REUSED to receive the exequator
unless accompanied by ample apology on
the part Of Nicaragua and to come to him
through the hands of Minister Goslin. In
reply Con sui Bingham has been called to
Managua, the capital, and all the boats
on the San Juan river and the lakes arc
held at his dis0sal
The murderer of Wilson, the American,
has not yet been tried, and roanssd at
large until Captain Watson requested
that he be arrested and tried The Mica
faguans have taken charge of leased lands
at Biuefields Bluff belonging to Ameri-
cans, and say that all leases for over eight
years viii be Cancelled as illegal although
improvements amounting to over s., ,0OO,-
0o0 have been placed theron by Americans
and Nicaraguans.
The Americans have been frequently
told by the Nicaraguans: Your govern
ment will do nothing for you; we know
tnat; and acting on that assumption they
have insulted Consul Braida, American
citizens aud the government of the United
States Had the government at Washing
ton acted as promptly as England had
done the proper respect would be shown
to American interests, American citizens
and the country's flag abroad.
The action Of Nicaragua in cancellinr
the withdrawal of Consul Bingham,s S exc
quator and his being called to Manasua
smells strongly that England, in not forc-{
ing her treaty rights, is obtaining some
thing better from Nicaragua, and as usual
England, by her vigorous policy is get
ting ahead of the United States.

gagged In Boat Building.
DIES MONIES, Ia, May THE eighth
day of kelly's stay in Des Moines saw prep
arations for their final leave taking under
good way. Yesterday lumber began to
be delivered at point below the conflu-
ence of the Des Moines and Raecoon
rivers. At 10 o'clock 800 men, mostly
mechanics of more or less experience.
picked out of the army, left the camp, un-
der the leadership of General Kelly,
marched three abreast to the place where
the lumber had been delivered and began
the work of building fiat boats. On the
way they sang Marching Through
Georgia." and while crossing the river
struck up There's One More River to
Cross"
They set to work with great eagerness,
and before noon at least twenty-five boats
were in process of building, and about
fifty are now nearly completed. At 6
O'Clock IN the afternoon the first boat was
completed, pitched and was launehed.
Three cheers were given for the first evil
dence OF the Kelly navy. Kelly and the
two women who joined The army at
Omaha got into the boat with four Of his
men as polemen, and amid great cheering
began the journey down the river to test
It's ability to float the navy. The trial
trip was pronounced every way successful.
At @ O'Clock the men dropped their tools
and marched back TO camp. Today most
of the boats will be finished, but it is very
doubtful whether the army will set sail
before Wednesday morning Meanwhile
a committee is going ahead calling on the
farmers and the people of towns near the
river to meet them ms they float down and
supply them with food.

A WATER CYCLE.
The Remarkable Craft in which William
Oldham VIII Cross the Ocean,

Oldham VIII Cross the Ocean.
NOTTINGHAM, May 7.-During the pres
ent month an attempt will be made by
William Oldham, a resident of Nothing
ham, to cross the Atlantic on a water cy-
Gle. Oldham is 90 years of age and
member of the army reserve. His craft,
which is named Marion, is of remarkable
construction, and is the smallest boat that
1t was ever proposed te-use for such an adj
ventnrous voyage. 1t was built entirely
by Oldham. Its dimensions are 10 fl. 9
in. in length, 8 IT. beam and Q IT. in.
deep, with draught Of 20 in. 1t is CON
structed of the best iron plates one-elghth
or an inch thiek, and these are supported
by u by "a in angle iron ribs.
With aview to making the most of its
very limited capacity the little vessels
bottom is fiat, with wooden floor over
the iron. In it is constructed u small
cabin rising nine inches above the
Geek. 1t is four feet long and two feet
broad. 1t has seven windows, two in
front, one looking each side of the mast,
two on each side and one at the back. All
these windows can be opened and are
water tight when closed. They are glazed
with quarter inch glass in pieces Az
inches long and three inches deep. At the
top OF this miniature cabin is a water
tight hatchway sixteen inches square
The boat is provided with brass screw
worked from inside by the hands and
feet In similar manner to a bicycle. This
mechanism is for use when The weather is
too bad to permit the use of sails or when
the boat may be becalmed 1t is also in
intended as n form of exercise for the oc-
cupant. The mast and bowsprit are con-
structed of iron pipes, with steel wire
ropes, and there is, of course, a small
steering wheel.
Nothing in the boat is movable, every
thing being made fast or concealed in
boxes, and not a particle of wood is used
in the frame work of the craft. When
ready for sea the boat will weigh about
Loo pounds. In this extraordinary craft
Mr. Oldham will leave Nottingham to-
wards the end of May, and after putting
in at few English seaside resorts will
start direct for New York.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS
Changes I'm ths rarIT Bill Said to be M.
ma

WARRINGTON, May THE week will In
all probability witness some interesting
developments in the tariff discussion. The
armistice arranged on Friday will end to-
morrow, il not continued by agreement,
and the debate will be resumed II the CONF
promise shall prove to have progressed so
far as to admit of the introduction of the
amendments proposed.
No definite idea of the amendments
could be conveyed without giving all
the amendments, and they will not be
given to the press until presented in the
senate There will be few startling
changes, but great many of them. In
deed, 1t is known that the amendments
when Incorporated In the bill will show
as many, II not more, alterations than
were made in the house by the finance
committee when reported to the senate.
1t may be said witbeut prejudice that
che report when made will fully Justify
the assertions made by the Republicans
as to their number on the floor of the SEN
ate. The amendments will be found most
numerous on the chemical, iron and steel,
agricultural and sugar schedules but
they will affect the entire bill, including
wool, cotton goods, metals and many
other articles. In almost every instance
where there have been changes increases
have been made, and there has been a
wholesale slaughterng of ad valorem for
specific rates. The sugar schedule is to-
tally changed, and iron manufacturers
Will show an interesting transformation
If reports be correct
The week in the house promises to give
opportunity for another effort to admit
New Mexico to statehood, for sharp con-
test over purchasing n new site for the
government printing office, and then for a
consideration Of the remaining appropria>
tion bills on the calendar-naval, Indian
and agricultural 1t is expected that The
naval appropriation bill will be reached
on Wednesday. There is chance that nm
animated controversy may arise over re-
cent naval armor plate frnuds

ST. LOUIS, May Heavy consu mers of
coal in this city who had feared serious
results from prospective famine in that
much needed article are considerably re-
ieved by telegram received by Assistant
General Manager Simpson, of the Consol-
idated Coal company. stating that both
mines, No. and No. Z, at Staunton, HIS,
are in full operation again, and that the
coal strike in that section of Illinois is
drawing to n close. The Consolidated Coal
company is raising stockades around its
mines on the Vandalia mine, and all men
who wish ta work will receive protection.

employed in the Vandalia lines shaft re-
turn to work under protection the other
mines adjacent to ST. Louis will be en-
abled to resume, and that all will be in op-
GRAFTON before the end of the week,

five miles south of this place, are taxing
travellers who are compelled to pass
through Tint reservation, They have
closed up all the byroads and erected toll
bridges on the main roads and obstructed
