Our dispatches this morning say there
Is a prospect Of a satisfactory settlement
Of the trouble between Great Britain
and Nicaragua within the next forty
eight hours. II this report should prove
10 be true and the forces OF Great Britain
should be Withdrawn from Corinto the
republican newspapers would be greatly
disappointed. Ever since the British de
cided to occupy Corinto. unless the Mica
raguan government paid the indemnity
demanded for the outrage upon Vice
Consul Hatch. they have been teeming
with abuse of President Cleveland and
h.s administration. "Imbecile." ia one
of the midest Of the epithets applied to
the administration. and there is hardly
any of the republican organs that are not
absolutely sure that 1t is England's pur-
pose to permanently occupy Nicaragua,
and they refer to her course in Egypt
in support Of their position. They declare
that If a republican were in the white
house England would not have been per-
mitted to land marines on Nicaragua
soil. and with an extraordinary amount
of bunconbe talk they declare that the
British, If still in Nicaragua in 1897,
viii be hustled out of the country at a
rate that will be startling to the great
territory grabber
This sort of lingo talk is all very in
spring, but still it is only the screaming
of the eagle and means nothing except
that the republicans are making all the
political capital they can. No American
need be afraid that the Cleveland ad-
mlnistration will not properly protect the
honor and interests OF this country. If
this government should interfere in the
Nicaraguan affair without just cause,
and involve the country in costly war,
the newspapers and politicians that are
now bowling at the administration and
charging it with being imbecile, would
be the first to condemn 1t for getting
the country into trouble
AS a matter Of fact, this government
has a very full and satisfactory under
standing with the English government
relative to the latter's occupation of Co
rinto England has given assurances that
she does not want any of Nicaraguas
territory and will withdraw from Corinto
just as soon as the indemnity is paid
There is no reasonable ground for our in
reference at the present stage of the
affair. Nicaragua undertook to use the
United States in her effort to avoid pay
ing the indemnity She intended that the
United States should get her out of the
very unpleasant predicament into which
she had got herself. This little affair with
Great Britain will teach her a salutary
lesson. She now knows that she cannot
presume upon her weakness to kick and
cuff with impunity the representatives
and citizens of other nations within her
borders. She may treat her own people
as she pleases, but she must respect the
rights of people of other nations. The
Cleveland administration will see to il
that the rights of the United States are

Following the report of the Intellectual
efforts of a Chicago publisher to induce
Controller Eckles to resign his office and
become the financial editor of a big daily,
at handsome salary, comes report that
Secretary Gresham has been rendered the
presidency of the Pullman car company,
at a salary of $3.50 year. 1t is said the

ment and mental capacitE=to disprove
which strenuous efforts have been made
there would be no such urgent demand for
them to serve private establishments. The
President is fortunate in having sur
rounded himself in his administration with
men whose capacities cause them to be in
demand by business concerns, but whose
loyalty prevents them from severing their
relations with the government.

The woman colonel, about whom so
much was said recently in the newspa-
pers, was a glittering spook. She doesn't
exist. The story was that the governor
of West Virginia had appointed Miss
Antionette Humphreys 10 a colonelcy on
his staff, and that she had been duly COM
missoned and was ready to go into the
field In defense of her state or country.
1t was all a joke. Miss Humphreys did
receive a blank commission with her
name written in, but it lacked the gov
ernor's signature and the seal of the
state, without which nobody, not even
a man. may be real colonel The new
woman need not despair, however. The
woman colonel will get here presently.
Her arrival has merely been delayed.

in gold both in its commercial value and
it's purchasing power. Had gold been
demonetized instead of silver, it would
have fallen in commercial value as silver
has, and bimetsIlists would now be urg-
ing the restoration of gold to its old
place, and our gold advocates would be
silver advocates, calling gold the cheap,
dishonest, unsound ftty-cent money"
Referring to the attitude of the ad-
ministration toward silver, he said: "No
nation on earth. nor all the nations, can
maintain the parity, the equal CONNER
cial value of gold and silver. coined into
money at any ratio whatever, when they
give to gold free and unlimited coinage,
and deny such coinage to silver, and re-
fuse to recognize and treat the silver
money as the gold money, or to use it
equally with gold in paying coin obliga-
tions.
"With equal propriety and assurance,
you might expect parents having two
daughters, to maintain them in equal
standing, honor and virtue when they
recognize one only as honest and virtu-
GUS and refuse to recognize and treat the
other as her equal, or to introduce her
into society, and merely give her lodg-
ing room, and proclaim her to the world
as dishonest, immoral and lascivious."

without "a Single Paper in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 23.-Chicago's new Dem
ocratic daily, the Chronicle, after
eight weeks trial of the United Press
news report today abandoned that organ
ization and entered into a 90-year contract
with the Associated Press This detection
leaves the United Press without single
client among the morning papers of
Chicago, and throws it back for its Chi
cago news upon the meagre and uncer-
| tain resources of the two minor evening
papers that now constitute its sole rep
resentation among the newspape of
the metropolis of the northwest
In an extended announcement of its
admission to the Associated Press, the
Chronicle says this morning: "The As
sociated Press is the most efficient, best
managed and strongest organization of
newspapers in the world. Its service
comprehends the entire earth. Its aims
are legitimate and it's methods are busi-
nesslike and substantial.
sin the controversy now existing be-
tween the Associated Press and the
United Press, the Chronicle is confident
that it consults its best interests by ac-
cepting the invitation of the former TO
take the place which of right belongs to
it, and which it may say without boasting
it has fairly earned by the side of the
other great newspapers of Chicago.

SHALL WOMEN VOTE OR NOT
An Interesting Question in Connection
With the Utah Election.

An Interesting Question in Connection
With the Utah Election.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Delegate- elect
Frank Cannon of Utah, outlines what
will probably prove a very interesting
question in connection with the election
which is to take place in that territory
next November when the constitution
adopted by the recent constitutional con-
veation will be presented TO the people
for their ratification or rejection, and
when both state and county officers will
be voted for.
The constitution provides for female
suffrage and the Democratic leaders have
taken the position that under this provi-
sion the women should be allowed to
vote at the election in November, especi-
ally in view of the fact that officials are
to be elected.
The Republicans on the other hand
contend that Utah is still territory and
thatethis election must be held in accord
ance with the forms provided by con-
gress, which do not permit of the exer-
else of the elective franchise by women.
A general effort on the part of the ladies
to vote might, in view of the conflicting
claims, produce important complications
in the future.

DUNBAR, Pa, July 23.-The heaviest
rain storms and floods that have visited
this section for many years occurred
here last night. Rain fell in torrents for
over three hours. The bridges between
Dunbar and Uniontown are all washed
away and the tracks are washed out in
many places also. The local streams are
swollen higher than at any time since
the flood of 1888.
People along the banks of Dunbar
creek were compelled to fee for their
lives, and buildings were carried away in

TO TAKE STRONG ACTION.
Gov. Richards VIII Order Out Troops to
heat Down the Indians.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 23.-In con-
versation today Gov Richards said that
he believed the Indian police would be
able to arrest all the Indians who are
now off their reservations and that if
they experienced any difficulty the regu
lars would be ordered out to assist them.
This Indian trouble must be settled
quickly" said the governor, sand unless
the Washington authorities take decisive
action soon l will make a state matter
out of it and order out the state troops to
arrest all of the rowing Indians who are
causing the trouble and turn them over
to the authorities.
81 am determined that Indians shall
be made to respect the laws as we'll as
their white neighbors. The authorities
at Washington do not seem to under
stand the situation, and are careless in
regard to correspondence on the subject.
My predecessor, Gov. Osborn, wrote a
letter to the interior department, in rela-
ton to these Indians killing game last
summer.
THAT letter was never answered.
Neither was the one which 1 wrote last
month. | am anxiously awaiting the re-
port of Adjutant General Sitter. which

that the Rannock braves cannot be
brought back without the use of federal
