of which has been made heretofore: 81
wish to be entirely frank on this subject"
he said: 81 understand Admiral Meade
has made q report containing serious
charges against me, but l have not yet
seen the report. 1t is doubtless due to
the admiraPs feelings concerning events
which happened during his recent visit
to Venezuela. All did not go as smooth
ly as possible, and the admiral was much
displeased with certain features of his
visit. Before leaving Laguayara, he
stated that he would report that l was
drunk at the reception rendered him. This

London, May 12.-There was virtually
no change in the money market during
the past week, rates having been ex-
tremely easy. On the other hand prices

restricted to mines. The most important
feature of all was the active purchases

very welcome for many reasons, being a

HAWTHORNE TRACK TROUBLES

Chicago, May 12-Racing at Harlem
race track begins tomorrow, but the oc-
casion will not be quite what was ex-
pected couple of weeks ago. The civic
federation declares that the same policy
which was pursued at Hawthorne will
be followed at Harlem and if any betting
is done, offenders will be arrested. On
the other hand, the track managers say
that there will be no foreign book at
the track and whatever betting is done
will be on the races at the track. The
federation say, however, this will not
prevent the raids.

HAS AN EYE TO BUSINESS,
JAPAN CASTING WISTFUL GLANCE
AT THE NICARAGUAN CANAL.
SHE DESIRES A TREATY WITH
NICARAGUA.
The United States Has Not Heretofor
Regarded Japan as a Competitor.
The President Returns From
a Piscatorial Expedition.

Toxic, Japan, May 1.-THE recent
achievements of Japan have led her to
turn her attention to securing 4 treaty
with Nicaragua, by which she would Sc
cure marked privileges in the Nicaraguan
canal. The subject has been under con-
sderatiOn at Washington between Minis
ter Guzman, representing Nicaragua, and
the representatives of Japan. At one
time the basis of the treaty seemed to have
been reached. DR.. Guzman feared, how
ever, that the United States might have
cause to object by seeing privileges ac-
corded Japan. This objection was met
by the representative of Japan by pro-
posal that Japan should receive the same
privileges as other countries with which
Nicaragua has treaties, except the United
States, it being expressly understood that
the United States is entitled to superior
advantages because of the proximity of
Nicaragua. The negotiations stopped on
this point and the treaty has not as yet
been concluded, nor is it being further
urged for the present, although no doubt
exists among officials that satisfactory
treaty will be made giving Japan privi-
leges in the canal commensurate with her
growing power as military and COM
mercial nation.

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON

Washington, May 1.-THE Toxic cable
stating that Japan has her eye ON the
Nicaraguan canal presents new and i'm
portant phase of the canal question in
which the United Sites has taken such a
vital interest. Thus far the United States
has regarded Great Britain as the only
dangerous competitor of the United
States for control of the canal. Now
Japan's interest in the canal presents a
new factor. Her victories over China
promise to make her prominent power
in the Pacific. By gaining privileges
in the United States of the Nicaraguan
canal Japan will also secure direct ac-
cess to the Atlantic without the long
trip around" the horn"
The Importance of a quick route to the
Atlantic for Japan is said to be very
great from a naval standpoint. The de-
tails of the recent negotiations at Wash
ington cannot be learned as the treaty
making is guarded with much care until
the instrument is concluded. Minister
Kurine will leave for Mexico at an early
date to present his credentials as minis
ter to that country, to which he is ac-
credited as we'll as the United States.
