Why Davis Objects to the Mica

The Trip Around the Horn Is One
of Americas Strongest
Defcnses.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-It was gener-
ally unders God when Senator Morgan re-
ported the Nicaragua Canal bill that it did
not wholly meet with the approval of all
the members of the committee. especially
Senator Davis of Minnesota. Senator Da-
Wis has not put his objections in the form
of a report and will not do so; but he will
probably make speech against the bill if
1t is ever called up. When the tariff is out
Of the way an effort will be made to bring
up the Nicaragua bill. Said Senator Da-
Wis:
"Why should the United States put
500, 900, 600 into the canal when we have
no navy 10 hold it ten days against Eng
land, Germany, France or Italy? There
is another feature that ought not to be lost
sight of, and that is the fact that vessels
being obliged TO go round Cape Horn is a
wonderful defense for the United States.
1t is 40 small thing to send naval vessel
around Cape Horn. If we cut a canal
through to the Pacific it would be open in
times of peace, ard many vessels could be
put through there in case trouble is con-
templated in the near future. Without the
canal vessels will be OBJ iged to go around
the Horn. With SlO.000,O0O and immense
IRON works on the Pacific Coast we could
make show of defense in a short time
against all the vessels any nation cares to
send around the Horn; but the worst
feature Is we would not hold the canal nor
could we recover it if once lost"

out of his ofice at o'clock to go to an
other part of the house. He left his son
in the office. intending to return in very
few minutes. The unknown robber en-
tered the Treasurer's office and asked tor
change of $40 bill. Young Malarkey at
once stepped 10 the vault and opened the
door preparatory to giving the change.
AS the door of the vault was swung open
the reI ort of pistol rang out through the
Courthouse. People in the Sherff's office
and adjoining apartment heard the shot
and rushed in. They found young
Malarkey lying on the floor with blood
freely flowing from a wound in his right
side. He family called for help and then
tainted.
No one saw the robber come in and no
one saw him leave. Young Malarkey's
condition is such that his physician for

BUENos AYREs, April 21.-Admiral de
Melo has issued manifesto declaring
the insurgent territorial army did not

he relinquished the contest in consequences
of the absolute lack of means to con-
tinue it. In conclusion, De Mello ex-
presses the hope that in spite of the falla-
cious promises o. assistance from sO-called
friends, the efforts he made may be not
without a good effect upon the future of
Brazil.

correspondent wires as follows:
''The facts are that United States Off,

at Dunn's house the Daltons saddled their
horses and escaped.

watched by the officers, who fired some
eighty shots into the place and received in
return four shots from the Winchesters of
the occupants, the wo Miller brothers, the
wife of one of the brothers, little girl

The day with the army at Omaha and
Council Bluffs was quiet one as COM

threatening aspect which marked the pre-

quietly with his troops at Weston. Little
knots Of men gathered about the streets of
this city and Council Bluffs discussing the
situation, but no attempts to intercept
trains were made, and the marching col
umns Of angry men of yesterday were
minus. On every hand sympathy for
Kelly and his men was expressed, and the
deuunciatlon of the railroad companies
was far from mild; but the plan of seizing
trains had apparently been abandoned. A

for tomorrow, and 10000 wOrkingmen are
expected to march to Weston TO bid the
