THE MlcARAuGuA cAWAA.
Fears Entertained That 1t Will
l'ass into British Control.

WAsntNGToN, July &c The friends
of the Nicsraguan canal bill in tho
House are somewhat oxsrcised to dcy q
the Information which reaches Wash.
ington from Nav York that Mcssrs
Bartlett and Weed, OF the reorganiza-
ton committee Of the Nicaragua Canal
Company, havo sailed for Europe 70
consider tho offer OF certain En-. lish
capitalists, who have agreed to furnish
thu monaY to cjmpleto the clnal.
Tho bill which .coks 10 govern
mental control OF the canal is now on
thu House calendar, 1t was reported by
tho commerce committee and it is the
result of several weeks of careful con-
sideration a. the hands of q special
committee to whom the work Of draft.
ing the bill was delegated. While the
bill will, if 1t con ca before the House,
provoke somo opposition, and the dis
cussion upon it ayeXtend several days,
it is believed by the gentleman having
it in charge that it will pass by good
round majority. The committee on
rules, however, have declincl to set
aside time for It's consideration, and
Speaker Crisp is re ported as unfavora bio
to the proposition
The argument is made by the peaker,
national financec issuch that the Govern
mens cannot at this time, assume tho
responsibility OF guaranteeing the
$40 100000 of bonds necessary to con-
sturct tho canal. To this the friends of
tho bill reply that the bonds will not
mature until 1925. thirty-one years
hence
On the other hand the commercial,
political. and military advantages, they
say, which would result from govern
mental ownership of tho canal, can
scarcely be overestin mated.
There is apparently no probability
unless the sessio, should be indefinitely
prolonged, that the bill can he con-
sidered at present, and tho fear is gen.
orally expressed by the iocmb crs of the
House committee that during tho inter
val the company may sell their concess-
ion 20 private parties i'll Englaud actin =
in reality for the British government,
and that az q result Of our inact on the
canal ill pass from our hands into tho
control o. u ) English government.

woods Convent On of tho American
Railway Union Delegates Called For
August I'd

CHICAGO, July 26.-The board of
directors OF tho American Railway
Union decided this morning to call
convention of delega.es of tho locsl
unions in this city on August 2. TIE
convention will be attended by one
delegate from every local union at
present affected by the strike, and it's
purpose will be to determine whether
the strike will be continued or abau-
doned and in tho forme. event to decide
on future mode Of procedure.
Each delegate will be instructed by
his union before attending the conven.
ton how his colleagues feel on the
question and no will have full authority
to act for them. This will relieve the
directors of direct responsibility and in.
cidentaily accomplish the purposes OF
Dets, Howard, Kelishor and Rogers
without laying them liable to another
case of contempt OF court. AT least this
is their opinion.
The directors went into session at 10
o'clock, and sat until after l2 Further

vention nothing but routine business

Uhlich Hall. The hall will com for tably
accommodate about 500 people, but on
this occasion it held over 1000 The
cheers which went up upon De5s'
entrance could be heard several blocks
away. The hearing of committee re-
ports, which had been going on, gave
way 70 tho demand for IL speech (. ON
the Unicn's President.
He told his fellow rail way men that
II tho ruling OF Judge Woods was cor
rect in the United States Circuit Court,
then the laborer was no longer . free
man AMI had no righs to defend and
protect himself, but was u common
slave 10 capital and had no right to do
other than as his employer ordered
LII said ho did not believe tho ruling
of the judge was sound, but that if it
was the only thing left to do was to
muster their forces and carry to the
polls man who would bring about an
amendment to the constitution which
would give them their liberty.
"Debs for Congress" was the cry on
all sides after this speech.
The directors say that tho strike sit
uation will remain as it is until the
convention OF August 2, at which time
future tactics will be decided upon.

PIrTsBUEG, July 26.-On the whole
the prospects in the iron and steel trade
are somewhat better this week than
they were last. Throughout the East
the short fuel supply is interfering with
pig iron production. The coal supply
is inadequate and coke shipments ar 0
irregular. The demand for finished iron
is little better and there is more call
for structural, material. Sheet iron
shows more activity than any other line
OF the market and slightly better prices
OF small lots for quick delivery are re-
ported. Throughout the West and South
there appears to DO some little improve
ment in the business situation.

State Far at Rocky Ford.

Our dear friends OF the Times-Sun need
not fear that the Chieftain will be angry
if Denver should conclude to hold state
fair next year. The fair was formerly
held in that city, but the cupidity of the
stockholders of the fair association caused
them to sell the fair grounds at high
price and the annual gathering of agri-
culturists at the state capital "petered
out" Then Pueblo took hold of the
matter, with like result. Now Denver
can have it again, as far as the people Of
this- city are concerned. Rocky Ford,
however, would be the place for it,
Chieftain.
Thanks, but we now have the State
Fair except in name. Both Denver and
Pueblo had better not try the Fair busi-
moss any more but let it be unanimous
that Rocky Ford is just the place for a
State Agriculture Association to hold its
Fairs. We have the prestige OF contin-
uous success and the largest crowds ever
assembled in the state to see an agricul-
tural display.

Gov. Waite in Rocky Ford.

Gov. Waite arrived from the west
Tuesday evening and was met at the
depol by the Watermelon Band and
many citizens. The Odd Fellows Hall
was crowded before the train arrived and
standing room was at a premium during
the evening. Pending the arrival of the
Governor short speech was made by
Hon. Stanton F. Lincoln, Popullst can
didate for Auditor. Gov. Waite was in
troduced by Hon. ]. II. Crowley as the
friend of the common people, Governor
who would give courteous audience to q
workman in overalls, and who would not
refuse to be the guest Of an humble
farmer whose house was covered with a
dirt roof and n mortgage. The old par
ties were arraigned us being responsible
for the hard times. He charged that
Senator Teller had made more revolut-
tionary utterances in tho Senate than
were contained in his famous Blood to
the Brides speech. The record of the
Republican party in the state was paint
cd in very dark colors. The Governors
side of the Cripple Greek and City Hall
affairs were presented with much
force and ingenuity.
What was the effect of the address?
The impressions made were MS various as
the personalities and parties represented
in the audience. Each auditor looked
through glasses tinted by previously
formed opinions, and the speech was
good, bad or indifferent according to the
point of view.
