Threatens the Big Canal.

A private letter TO u New Orleans gem
tleman from Managua. Nicaragua, con-
tains the following. which is given with
every degree of authority: 1.-The conccs-
sion granted several years ago to the
Maritime Canal Company by the Mic
araguan Government for the construction
of the Nicaraguan Canal is for the sec
ond time in great danger of being can
celled. and if annulled will be otherwise
disposed of. This second trouble is
caused by the promise to build Il canal 1T
point called Tipitapa. which would con-
meet Lake Nicaragua with Lake Mana-
qua. When the concession was granted
it was agreed that in return for the con-
cession canal would be built at this
point within three years after the begin
ming of the work on the main line of the
Nicaraguan Canal. The time limit placed
upon the completion of this waterway
expired in October. 1892. AS the COM
pany has made no steps toward carrying
out its contract the Nicaraguan Govern
ment threatens TO annul the concession.
and the threats come in the form of 4
resolution on the part of the President
and his Cabinet, which to all appearance
is final

Short Work of Nebraska Rust1ers.

There is general belief at Butte, Neb.,
that Il party Of rustlers captured by the
vigilantes Sunday have been lynched.
The men captured We're: Louis Zoaad-

who lived west of Spring View. Nearly
one hundred head of cattle were found.
But few citizens think the rustlers reach
ed Spring View. as the vigilantes are old
ranchers and seldom bring Il rustler back
when they have Il good chance to make
away with him. Others believe that be-
cause of the publicity given to the affair
the men in charge will not dare to make
away with them, but will turn them over
TO the authorities at Spring View, when
other parties will take them from the Off
GERS, and they will likely share the usual
fate of rustlerS.

The Chinamcm Arr.vc.

The announcement in the morning
papers yesterday, statiug that a large
numbe of Chinese would reach here
about 1870 o'clock drew an immense
crowd to the Bay Line wharf to see
them. There are so few Chinese
women in this country that every
body, young and old, lnrge aud small,
were anxious TO see tbom, and long
before 10 O'Clock tho crowd at the de-
pot began to increase. 1t became gen
orally known that they would be here
about noon, aud by that timo fully
1000 people had assembled. anxious to
satisfy their curiosity.
About 1880 the New York steamer
came in the harbor. The cry of ''there
she comes" was heard all around, and
the rush for the wharf was grent, but
the time to satisfy their curiosity had
not arrived. The steamer kept on to
Norfolk and the live freight WAS trans
ferred to the steamer Accomac, which
reached Portsmouth about 1890. The
usual rush was made to see them aud a
line was formed around the Chinese,
the women and children, who had to
pass through it. AS they rsssed along,
each with bundle or parcel in their
Lands, some various remarks were
made.
The men as rule were u tough,

were real comical looking. The
women, with their coal black hair,

appearance. The crowd was much dis
appointed in their looks. as they had
expected to see them look rough like
the men. They were marched to the
cars and seated. A rush was mado to

by the watchman. Later few ladies

MURDER WILL OUT.
Or 1t viii Sometimes. Especially Whom
murdcrcrs Talk In Their Siecp


In the Jail of Orovillo is Thomas
Laughty, alias Locklin, who is believed
to be tho murderer of Arthur Meyers.
On the S0th of last October Meyers was
driving stage hear Nevada City, when
"a lone" hlghWagman. held up the stage
and, demanded the box. Meyers did not
obey Mt once, and the highwaymau fired,
killing him instantly. Detectives traced
the murderer all over northern Califor-
mia, but'faileds to find him, although n
reward of $4,000 was offered. Two
months ago Laughty was arrested in
Chico ON charge of larceny and plead
ed guilty and was sentenced to 90 DAYS
III tho county Jail. -Four weeks ago his
cell mate, -, Georgo Evans, heard him
muttering in his sleep:
II shot Arthur Meyers, and if don It
get that old - --- - in the
bushes there he will gettmc."
Evans thought no had tho murderer
and spent two weeks in questioning
Locklin. Evans said to him:
You should be moro careful what
Jon say in your sleep, for you might tell
things about yourself you don't want
others to know"
From that time Laughty feared ,Ey-
ans. For nearly II week he was in n ter
rible state Of excitement, and day and
night walked up and down his cell
without sleeping. At last he picked II
quarrel with Evans. but the jailer sepa-
rated them. Soon after this six of the
prisoners were sitting together when
Evans said
II wonder if u murderer could be
hanged by what he. might say in his
sleep. know the murderer of Arthur
Meyers and could put my hands on
him
Laughty, who was behind Evans, in
hit OF rage grabbed. up "a spittoon and
struck him heavy blow on the head
The other prisoners stopped the fight.
Evans then told Untiersheriff Guidery
and Shorif Wilson what he had heard.
They found further proofs Of his guilt,
and MS soon as Laughty's term expires
he will be taken TO Nevada county

Why His Hair is White.

The venerable Isaac Bassett, assis-
tant doorkeeper of the Senate, was
asked for his recollections OF Mr. Web.
ster, but contented himself with one
story. Mr.. Bassett was a page in the
Senate when Mr.. Webster was Sen.
ator, and as he laughing'y pushed
his fingers through his long, white
locks Mr.. Basset: said he attributed
the early change in the color Of his
hair to the Senator from NJ Massachusetts,.
One day he was asked by Mr.. Webster
to get him carriage, and having done
sO,young Bassett went to Mr.. Webster's
desk, and. putting his arm on the
Senator'S shoulder and partly around
his neck, told him the carriage was
waiting. The stern look by which Mr.
Webster rebuked the familiarity Of
the page was sufficient, Mr.. Bassett
said, to run the cold shivers down his
back aud cause his hair to begin
turning gray. There is not 3 page
in the Senate today who would think
it amiss to approach Senator in the
same way aud not Senator who
would take offsnse at it either.-Wdsh
