DOwNIE IN KNOXVILLE,
The "Seniinel" Tells a story OF
His Appearance There.

The Knoxville Evening Sentinel, with
scream" heads in it's Monday issue tells
in column and hall how Fritz Staub,
manager of the opera house there, helped
the Margaret McClung Industrial home
out of a financial hole. The story will
interest Ashevillc people. inasmuch as it
concerns Prof. Donald Downie, who
lectured here last week under the aus.
pices OF the Asheyille Light Infantry to
a crowd the smallness of which left the
A. l.. l. in about $40 cavity.
The Sentinel says that Frank Null
Ter. Downie's agent, offered to Mr. Staub
the lecturer for matinee and evening for
a 500 guarantee. This was not accepted,
and arrangements for two lectures were
made with the patronesses OF the home,
tor $40. the home to pay all expenses
Muller was instructed by the ladies to
advertise in the Tribune and Journal.
Later, however, the Sentinel received a
letter from Muller to iusert advertise
ments in that paper, and charge to the
home. When the performances came on
lhS auiIlSSiOuS ttIHOuulSu TO SfS. l'rOf.
Downie wanted his $40 before the
evening performance. but Manager Staub
got him to compromise for $50 Staub
then paid the difference between the $t2
and 500, donated the $50 rent for the
house and the lecture went on.
The Sentinel presented bill for the
"ad' to Prot. Downie, who said the
ladies were responsible for it. The ladies,
however, said they had not authorized
the Sentinel "ad." The peper then got
an attachment Oh Downie's effects, and
had hearing before a squire. There,
the Sentinel says, Downic showed bill
OF sale, transferring the property to
"Donalda Downie," the Professors
sister, as he said. But the squire decided
in favor of the Sentinel, and Downie paid
the bill and costs, amounting to about
Sl4. The Sentinel does not say anything
adverse to the lecture, but it says the
Professor, according to an attorney,
had his gall with him" as he asked the
attorney to represent him in the suit for
courtesy, as the lecturer was a "B. { L."

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN :
BRITISH NAVAL. FORCES IN
NICARAGUA.
They Are Near The Mouth OF The
Canal That Is To he, And, The
Act Nav BE significaut-A Query
From The Senate.

| WASHINGTON, March 7.-The depart,
ment of State has received the first off
cial information OF the operations ot
British naval forces at Blucfc,ds, neal
the mouth of the Nicaragua canal. 1t
came in the shape of a dispatch from
United States Minister at Managua. lie
said the United States consul at San
Juan Del Norte, Mr.. Braida, telegraphs
him that the soldiers from the British
warship Cleopatra had been landed at
Bluetelds, and strongly urges that a
| United States naval vessel be sent there
| at once.
There is no explanation in the minis
| ter's dispatch of the reason TOR the land
ing OF British forces. The reports OF
consul Braida show that when the Nica-
raugan government forces occupied the
Bluetelds. the reigning Mosquito Chief
appealed to the British consuls at San
Juan Del Norte for protection, and the
question OF interest at this stage of at.
fairs is whether the British troops had
been landed to afford that protection to
the Mosquitoes or whether the landing
was made to protect British citizens
olly.
In the Senate today Mr.. Morgan, from
he committee on foreign relations, re-
ported resolution requesting the Presi.
dent to inform the Senate, if not incon-
sletent with the public interest, whether
the government of Great Britain had
occupied the Bluetields or anv other
place on TIE Mosquito reservation in
Nicaragua, with military forces; to
state the character and strength of such
force, and the claim of authority on the
part of the British government so to
occupy that country He supposed he
said, although, he did not know. that
the kearsarge had been dispatched to
l'luehelds on account of that occupa-
ton. 1t was very delicate and grave
question for the people Of the United
States, particularly if military occupa-
ton had taken place on the idea that
Great Britain had reserved 10 herself in
any treaty with Nicaragua, the right to
make an intervention OF this kind, which,
IN I he estimate OF the American govern
ment, violated the spirit and the purpose
OF the Clayton-Bulwer treaty OF 1850.
he resolution was agreed to.
