But If 1t has not" he added. the

Senator Morgan added that he did not
think the canal project would be en-
dangered by the present complications.
He said: This case has gone far beyond
the Monroe doctrine, far beyond the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t has a char
acter that is distinctly it's own, and that
rests upon higher grounds than any
doctrine or any treaty ever made or
enunciated. The United States and the
governments of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica have entered into a solemn COM
pact with each other looking to the con-
struction of this great maritime high
way; the company, composed mostly of
citizens of the United States, is organ
lied and starts it's work soon. Now
comes Great Britain with the domineer-
ing spirit of aggression that has marked
her course throughout the history Of
modern times, and upon the slimmest
Of pretexts, the most absurd of excuses,
makes demand upon the government
of Nicaragua that she does not expect
to be complied with, and all in the hope
that through the default Of a weaker
government she will be enabled to estab-
lish a sovereignty over the territory,
and thus control the future development
Of the canal and of the traffic that may
pass through it. ] believe congress, at
its next session, will, If nothing shall
be done meanwhile by the authorized
powers now in authority, effectually
and finally stop the aggressions of Great
Britain and absolutely prevent her
gaining a foothold i'm this most i'm
portant point on the American CONT
nent. l think there is enough spirit in
the American people to put a stop to
this proceeding. Great Britain is not
going to stop it of her own vohtion.
Somebody must step in and be disagree
able, and this seems to be a very good
opportunity for the United States to as
sumo that role"

UNVEILED THE WASHINGTON ARCH
Appropriate Exercises in New York to
COmmemorate Centennial.

Appropriate Exercises in New York to
Commemorate a Centennial.
New York, April 3O.-The Washing
ton arch, erected in Washington square,
in commemoration of the centennial of
the inauguration of Washington as first
president of the United States on April
30, 1889, was formally unveiled and ded-
icated today with appropriate exer-
cises. The arch has been in process of
construction for four years. 1t has
been erected by public subscription,
the total contributions to the fund ag-
gregating $l2S, 900. Stanford White was
the architect and William MacMonnies
of Paris, who became famous through
his great fountain in the court of honor
at the worlds fair, was the sculptor of
the female figures with which the arch
is adorned.
The exercises were preceded by
grand street parade. in which the
First and Second regiments of the Ma
tional guard and the naval reserves
were conspicuous. A grandstand had
been erected before the arch, and this
was occupied by a large number Of in
vited guests, including Governor and
Mrs. Norton. The exercises were par
ticipated in by an immense throng.
Bishop Potter delivered the invocation
and General Horace Porter was the
orator of the day. Henry Marquand,
president of the Washington Arch AS

OSCAR WILDE PUT ON THE STAND
Love for Lord Alfred Like That of David
for Jonathan.

London, April 30.-Old Bailey was
less crowded today than heretofore
when court was opened for what was
expected to be the last day of the trial
of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, on
the charge Of serious misdemeanor. etc.
The counsel for the crown will charge
conspiracy against Wilde, saying that
he desired to avoid the difficulty by
placing the witness in the witness stand.
Sir Edward Clarke, @. c., counsel for
the accused, demanded a verdict of not
guilty on this count but the judge re-
fused to allow it. Sir Edward Clarke.
in the opening speech for the defense,
denounced the conduct of a large sec
ton of the press, saying that it preju-
diced the case Of his client and imperil-
ed the interests of justice.
Wilde was then placed upon the stand
and absolutely denied that there was
word Of truth in the charges of in
decency brought against him. He an
swered the questions of Sir Edward
Clarke in subdued tones. During the
examination of the prisoner by his coun-
sci 1t was apparent that manyo of Wildes
friends were present. Sir Edward Clarke
claimed that Wilde was a martyr and
had accepted the verdict of not guilty
in the Queensberry case only because it
was evident 1t could not be properly
tried then, but 1t could now be deter
mined in the proper issue according to
counsel.
When Wilde was placed in the dock II
was evident that he seemed to have lost
all the swagger which so Disguised all
who witnessed it during the former trial.
G. f. Gill, on behalf of the prosecution,
began the cross-eXamination on the
same lines as Edward Carson, @. c.,
who defended the marquis Of Queens
berry against the charge of libel He
quoted from the sonnet to Lord Alfred
Douglass, in which occurred the line,
I am that love; but dare not speak its
name" Gill asked what was the nature
of the love represented in that poem.
Wilde, with marked elaboration and
emphasis, replied:
1T is a love not understood in this
century; it is the love of David for
Jonathan, a deep spiritual affection, as
pure as it is perfect. 1t is something
this age does not understand; it mocks
at it and sometimes puts one into pill
lory."
AS Wilde finished answering there
was loud cheering from the gallery,
which called forth a rebuke from the
judge, who threatened to eject those
who took part in the demonstration.
After short cross-examination during
which Wilde denied everything, Charles
Parker was examined.

Bondholders of the Northern Pa
cific Make the Charge.
WILL APPEAL TO THE COURTS
Claim That the Earnings OF the Road
Are Wrongfully Diverted in the
Payment of Interest.

st. Paul, April 30.-The Pioneer Press
tomorrow will say:
"A gentleman whose close connection
with the Northern Pacific affairs at
present and in the past makes his opin-
ion very valuable makes the statement
that the second mortgage bondholders
Of the Northern Pacific will soon apply
for an order of the court at Milwaukee
directing the receivers of the road to
pay the interest on the second mortgage
bonds Their petition will state that the
road has earned not only the interest
one the tirsts but also on the seconds;
and while the interest on the first has
been paid, the money which should
have been used to pay the interest on
the seconds has been used in the pay
ment of interest on some of the old
bonds of. the branch roads notably the
Duluth & Manitoba and Spokane
branches which have not only failed TO
earn their interest, but have not earned
their operating expenses.
"They claim that the receivers have
not only diverted the moneys earned by
the road belonging to them but have
placed security ahead of theirs (the
receivers certificates) and are using
their interest money to pay interest on
the certificates. They will ask to be re-
lieved from contributing to the payment
of any part of the receivers certificates,
claiming that they should be paid by
an assessment on the junior securities,
j. e., the third mortgage, the consol, hves
and preferred stock"

SPAIN MAY JOIN.
GAVE HIS ENEMY A HOT RECEPTION
Henry Marshall. a Montana Raneher
Shoots less Davis.

piiOOtS JOSS idNlS.
Helena. April 30-A dispatch from
Malta, small town in the northern
part of the state, says Henry Marshall
shot and instantly killed Jess Davis at
II o'clock last night.
The Davis family, together with Buck
Quinn, had some trouble over an irri-
cation ditch and they swore vengeance
on Marshall. They made it so hot for
him that Marshall disposed of his prop
erty and prepared to leave the country
To stop his going they drove off his
horses, remarking at the time that they
had a little grievance to settle with
him before he left. At IL o'clock one
of them appeared heavily masked at
Marshall's door. The latter had an
inkling of the trouble and had the lights
blown out and the door open. He was
sitting in the dark, with three Win
chesters loaded lying beside him on a
table and a six repeater shotgun in
his hand, loaded with buckshot.
Davis made a rush for the door, and
just as he was about to put his foot
over the threshold Marshall fired. The
entire charge entered his neck, almost
severing his head from his body. The
others circled and ran. A few random
shots were fired at the retreating fig
ures, but none Of them took effect.
