TELEGRAPH LINE VIA NICARAGUA
Line Not Yet Open TO the Pubic-Steamer
Line TO Be Inaugurated.


Line to Be Inaugurated.
Copyrighted, 1895, by Associated Press.)
Managua, Nicaragua, July 20.-The
National telegraph line has been COM
pleted through the very sparsely popu-
lated district of the eastern part of the
department of Chontalis to the town of
Rama, at the head of steamship navi-
cation on the Bluefields river The gov
eminent of Nicaragua has not yet open
ed this line to the public, but will most
likely to do so in a few days
A South Dakota company, represent
ed by j. Lasher, completed on July 10 a
contract with the government of Mic
aragua to run under Nicaragua's flag
suitable steamship bi-monthly along
the Caribbean sea coast of Nicaragua
entering all the navigable rivers and
carrying the mails free, also carrying
free and feeding at least 25 Nicaragua
soldiers each trip. The contract is for
20 years.
The South Dakota company is to re-
ctive about $4,000 acres of lands, but
the ship is to be used exclusively by
the government of Nicaragua whenever
it desires to do so, and in the event Of
loss while in the governments hands
the company is to receive 5000 acres ad-
dtional of lands, all subject to the ap-
proval of the next congress of Nicara-
qua, which is to assemble in January
of 1896.

MACHINE OPERATORS OR PRlNTERs7
typographical Union and Machinists'
Union Have n Question to Settle.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE ex-
ecutive committee of the International
Typographical Union will shortly be
called upon to grapple with the inter
esting question whether operators of
typesetting machines are printers"
within the Interpretation of the consti-
tuition of that organization. or whether
they are simply ordinary machinists.
In Chicago, among other cities, the lin
otype operators have formed a local
organization and propose to seek ad-
mission 20 the union on the ground
that they are printers just as much
now as when they worked at the case
proper. This position, however, Is an
tagonized by the Interna tional Associa-
ton of Machinists, of which James
O'Connell is grand master. on the
ground that the operators are ma
chinists pure and simple and therefore
can not rightfully be admitted into any
other but a machinlsts organization.
AS both the Typographical Union and
the Association of Machinsts are afiil-
lated with the American Federation of
Labor it is probable that whatever the
decison of the union the issue will come
before the national convention of the
federation for final adjudication. The
new Chicago union is about equally
composed of newspaper and book office
operators.

Toronto, Aug. 17.-Deputy Attorney
General Cartwright was seen today re-
gardng the verdict of murder against
Holmes given last night by the coro-
ner's jury but would make no state
ment regarding any action the crown
authorities might take looking to- the
extradition of the prisoner until he
had consulted with Acting Premier
Hardy.
When shown press dispatch to the
effect that Holmes would be tried in
Chicago, he said he would prefer that
course. but thought the police of that
city had not enough evidence to con-
Wet. In fact he was of the opinion
that the plan emanated from the cum
ming brain of Holmes himself, who was
aware of the slight chances against
him. He emphatically stated, however,
that should the United States authori-
ties fail to convict the prisoner the
province of Ontario would spare no ex-
pense to bring him to justice.

NOT ONE JURYMAN IN SEVEN DAYS
Change of Venue Not Unlikely in the
Durrant Case.

San Francisco, Aug. lion Monday
the trial of Theodore Durrant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont will enter
upon its fifth week. All of the past
week was spent in a vain effort to find
a single satisfactory talesman. AS the
case progresses the respective counsel
finds it more difficult to be satisfied
with veniremen. Anyone who seems
acceptable to one side, appears OBJ
jectionable to the other on general prin-
ciples. The counsel find it easy to dis
pose of Objectionable veniremen with
out peremptory challenge. The defense
has IL of its 20 peremptory challenges
left and returns have been made on
nearly 1000 veniremen. Should no pro-
gress be made next week the defense
will probably renew its motion for a
change of venue. If it can be shown
that it is practically impossible to OBJ
tain jury here the motion will be
granted, as the denial at the beginning
of the trial was only provisional

OTHER BUILDINGS CRUSHED.
The force of the explosion carried
away large portion of the rear of the
building next adjoining the Gumry, to-
ward Seventeenth street, and occupied
by A. Lillyblade, wholesale and retail

The wall of the Gumry on the side
toward Eighteenth street crushed a
stable and small frame house, but no
one was injured.
Ihe Gumry hotel was a five story
brlck structure with a stone front, and
was erected about six years ago. 1t
was of the better kind of second-class
hotels, catering largely to transient
family patronage. Thus many ladies
and children were among the guests.
The building was erected as the Eden
Musee by the widow of General Tom
Thumb, and was so occupied for year,
but later remodeled for use as a hotel
Gumry and Greiner have owned it for
several years. Mr.. Gumry was a prom

GOOD GAIN IN RAILWAY EARNINGS
Healthy Increase over the Showing
Made in 1904.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Greatly i'm
proved net railway earnings are shown
in a carefully prepared special report
to Bradstreet's. The gross earnings of
144 railroad companies for the first six
months of 1895 aggregate $349, ,099, ,773, a
gain of 3.6 per cent over the correspond
ing period of 1894. which, in turn,
showed decrease from 1893 of 1914 per
cent. The net earnings of the same
roads for this year aggregate s102, ,767,-
1885, a gain over last year of 81 per cent,
and following a decrease in 1894 from
1898 of 1873 per cent.
There are some decreases in gross
earnings this year from last, notably
the southern and granger roads, but
there are also notably large increases
in nearly all the other groups, where
last year the dead level of decrease was
without relief. When the net earnings
figures this year are considered, the
showing is still better.
