THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Report of the Visiting Commissio
Will Favor Its Construction.

The Report of the Visiting Commission
Will Favor Its Construction.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-It is under
stood here that the report OF the en-
gineer commission which visited Mica
ragua last summer will favor the con-
struction of an interoceanic canal, but
that it will not recommend the entire
route already surveyed, and upon
which it is claimed that work costing
in the aggregate several millions of
dollars has been performed.
It is believed that the commissioners
will fix the cost of the canal at much
greater sum than that estimated by
the Maritime Canal Co., whose charter
it is proposed the government shall
purchase. It is expected that the com.
missions report will claim that the
waterway cannot be built and the har-
bors on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
placed in proper condition for q sum
much less than 500. 900. 600.

JAPAN AND coREA.

Belf-Protection May Compel Japan to In
terfero to Preserve Peace In C0res.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Estate depart
ment advices indicate that the Japan
csc government will use all honorable
means consistent with neutrality to
maintain stable government in
Corea. IT it be true, as has been re-
ported, that Tai-Won-Kun has usurped
the functions of the king and made
himself practical dictator, the re-
suit can but be injurious, it is said. to
Corean prosperity. Tai-Won-Kun rep
resents the reactionary party in the
hermit kingdom. and his rule as dicta-
tor would be strongly in opposition to
the progressive element
1t is said that Japan would hesitate
to interfere forcibly in the internal af-
fairs of the country, but that she may
be driven to this course as a matter of
self-protection. The foreign trade of
Corea is SO largely in Japanese hands
IS to give the latter a practical monop-
oily. To protect these interests, there
fore, it may be necessary for Japan to
insist upon proper government in
Corea. even though such insistence
might for the moment bring her into
practical collision with some of the
European powers.

WAR WITH ENGLAND.

The Monroe Doctrine Can bio Enforced
Only by a Resort to Powder and Ball.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-A special to the
Evening Post from Washington says:
From the present outlook it appears.
impossible to avoid q conflict between
the United States and Great Britain
over the Venezuelan-Guiana boundary
dispute.
If the Monroe doctrine is to be en-
forced, as administration authorities
declare that it is to be, it can only be
enforced by resort to powder and
ball.
All reports from England agree that.
the British authorities will not recedes
from their position and that they will
not submit to arbitration one iota of
their claims.
Venezuela looks to the United States
to aid her in preventing British ag-
gression.
President Cleveland will go to At
lanta to-day. but before he departs he
will leave instructions to the secre-
tary of the navy which will enable the.
department to proceed at once tos
maintain the Monroe doctrine.
The Indiana, which was put through
her acceptance trial Friday, will be-
placed in commission at once. Capt
Robert d. Evans. who will command
her. expects to be ordered to the vene--
zuelan coast at once. He will sail un-a
der sealed orders. This means that
his instructions will not be made pub
lie in advance, but Bob Evans is a
fighter, and everyone who knows him
realizes that the entire British navy
cannot bluff him of.
The situation here to-day is more
serious than it has been any time since,
| the controversy started. The presi-
dent is anxious and worried. He has.
had several conferences with Secre-
| taries Herbert and Olney and the Ven
ezuelan minister saw the president.

A DRAMATIC INCIDENT
In the Trial of Maud Lewis, at st. Louis,
for Killing Peter Morrfssey.

In the Trial of Maud Lewis, at st. Louis,
for Killing Peter Morrissey.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-In the case of
Maud Lewis, on trial for the murder of
State Senator Peter Morrissey, the
state placed VIM. Smith, a reporter. on
the Stand to prove that the Lewis
woman said she killed Morrissey. It
developed. however, that Reporter
Smith had asked her to make a
statement that Morrissey had uttered
a word or two after he was shot, tend
ing to show that he was sensible at
the time of his death. Morrissey was
Catholic, and st. Louis priests had re-
fused to ofhciate at the funeral, on the
ground that Morrissey had died in his
sins. Reporter Smith wanted to secure
an admission from the woman that
Morrissey had cried out: 80! My
God" and then he would SO
tell the priest, who would
then officiate at the funeral She
agreed to do SO, provided the family
of Morrissey and the police would not
use the statement against her at the
trial. The Lewis woman was then
placed on the stand and said that
Smith and others endeavored to in
duced her to make affidavit that Nor
rissey had called on God, and she said
she was willing to do SO if they would
not use the affidavit against her. This
scheme, however. fell through.
''Then you were willing to swear to
a lie?" one of the attorneys for the
state asked.
Yes" she cried dramatically. rising
to her feet, Il was willing to swear to
a lie, to give Peter Morrissey Chris
tian burial, and I am willing now to
do anything to accommodate his fami-
ly.''
She was allowed to step down. The
attorneys for the state looked sur
prised, for the incident caused consid-
cradle of sensation-so much SO that,
although it was only 11:a0, court adj
journed for lunch. and the prisoner was
led away, almost in Mysteries.
