Nicaragua Agrees to Turn Over

JApAy'S RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA.
Evidence Of u Serious Crisis Between the
Two Nations, but the Japanese Press
10 Forbidden to Refer
b II.

WAsnINToN, May lat the state de-
partment, the news that Nicaragua
would pay the 1850 indemnity within
fifteen days after the departure Of the
British troops was seemingly expected,
though no direct adv ces had been re-
ceived by the department In fact,
Minister Baker is now in Costa Rica
and there Is very little communication
between this government and the lega-
ton at Managua. 1t was learned at
the department that the acceptance
by Nicaragua Of the terms which have
been proposed does not mean that the
affair is settled.
1t Is understood that Ambassador
Bayard throughout the controversy
has had to encounter the difficulty
which Is still presented. The British
government wants the money paid in
the presence Of the British feet at
Corinto, for, while the feet Is still
there, and the troops are In pos
session Of the town, the British
government, according to . state
department official, wants the
payment made as though under
duress. 1t Is hoped, however, the offer
made at the suggestion Of the United
States and which Managua advices say
has been satisfactory to the Nicaraguan
government, will DO agreed to by tho
British government, and assurances to
this effect have been received. 1t ap-
pears In this connection that the threat
Of revolution in Nicaragua has given
the United States an opportunity to
urge with more force peaceful set
Element Of the present difficulty, as
such result OF the British occupation
might seriously threaten the lives and
property Of United States citizens As
to the possible arbitration Of the re-
naming questions In dispute between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, 1t is under
stood the United States expects to BE-
represented, and will probably not be
refused by Great Britain. This, 1t 10
said, will not be allowed to interfere
with the settlement Of the Els, 500 claim
by payment within two weeks, as pro-
posed.

crisis in the relations between Japan

The other newspapers in which ref

BE Deceived Nobody.

Outside what one may think as to
Congressman Calderhead's views on
the currency none can deny his abso-
lutte sincerity and honesty in bis ut
terances. It was that which elected
him. People realized that in him
was nothing Of the demagogue-
something they had not felt regard
ing the representative just stepped
out. Furthermore he deceived no.
body and those who have been 80
quick to criticise him would do well
to cogitate over this exact statement
OF the case In the official state paper,
the Topeka Breeze:
Some Of our esteemed cotemporar-
les up in the Fifth district we notice
are disposed to criticise Congressman
Calderhead's position on the financial
question and even intimate that II his
views had been understood he could
not have been nominated and elected.
This sort Of talk Is calculated to make
anyone who watched Mr.. Calderhead's
campaign, weary. II there was any
man running for office in Kansas who
was perfectly fair, open and clear, 1t
was Calderhead. He talked before
election just exactly as he does now
and we don't understand how any
body could fail to understand him.
He never for q minute pretended that
he was an advocate Of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to l. He made that per-
iectly clear in every speech. The
people listened to him and under
stood him and elected him by the
most surprising majority Of any can
didate for congress in the state. In
view OF these facts it seems probable
that the plain common people up in
the Fifth district understand the
financial situation possibly as well or
better than the newspapers.

The dedicatory services which have
been held in the First Reformed Church
Of Hoboken this week. closed last night
with the services of the Christian En-
deayor Society. after a week of marked
success. which was very gratifying to
the Pastor. the Rev. Henry Mattice and
the members of the church. Every SER
vice has been largely attended. especially
Monday nights, when the church was
formally dedicated. and last nights,
when representatives from many outside
Endeavor Societies were present.
Last nights services opened with an
organ prelude. which was followed by
the singing of the Doxology by, the con-
gregation. The Invocation and Saluta-
ton was next. and was rendered by Mrs.

congregation followed by singing another
hymn.
