NICARAGUAN SITUATION.
The United States Will Suggest Moderation
 to England.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Tho outcome of the informal cabinet meeting at Wood Icy is understood to bo that the adminis- tration is disposed to uso its good offices between Nicaragua and Great Britain so far as it consistently can.
 President Cleveland feels that, as mat tors now stand, the United States can do nothing except to request Lord Kimberley not to force n settlement of the indemnity within the next 24 hours, but to permit a sufficient time to olapsc so that Nicaragua may not be put in tho position of being compelled to pay tho smart money" at the cAnnon's mouth.
 If the British foreign office shall agree to this tho incident will probably be clos ed within the next fortnight by com pliance on tho part of Nicaragua with Great Britain's terms
 Those who understand the sentiment of tho NicaraGuan people respecting this matter predict that Nicaragua will not pay tho indemnity unless Great Britain pursues a moro conciliatory course. Tho disposition of President Holaya and his ad viscrs is strongly against paying the mon ey under compulsion. To do so will, it is said result in tho overthrow of the pres ent administration by the Nicaraguan peo- pie, who would even prefer that Corinto should be occupied by the British rathor than that they should he compelled to make a hUmiliating surrender.

 The vote passed at the meeting of the road board last night at the suggestion of Mayor Kilduff, is sure to meet the approv- al of the large army of working people who use Washington avenue in passing to and from their work. Most of the land Abut- ting this street is owned by big corpora tions and there is no reason why the own CTS of such property should not be obhged d to put down walks in front of thelr proper ty the same as the man who may be obliged to mortgage his home in order to meet the expense of making repairs in front of his property. If the work discussed at the road board meeting last night be all fin ished up this season the residents of this section of the town will have just reason to feel grateful to the present adminlstra- l tration. The mayor. accompanied by the members of the board, went out among the people and saw what was needed. and on this account the meetings have been much more harmonious than in former years. for all had thorough knowledge of the differ ent streets where public improvements had been petitioned for.

More English Agony.

In the United States, which used to
be called the paradise Of women they
are not just now having a very good
time They are suffering from the per
secution Of both sexes. In the state of
Albany law against ladies wearing
tall hats in theaters was recently pro
posed in the legislature. while bill has
been laid before the oard of aldermen
at Chicago, at the inStigation of the Wo-
mems Reform society, 10 forbid women
from wearing leggngs or skirts that are
above a certain number of inches from
the ground. The men want their attire
to be cut off AT one end and the women
to have it heightened at the other. What
would the fair fashionables who disport
themselves in Battersea park on their
two wheeled steeds say to such sartoYial
edicts: The new woman boasts Of the
freedom permitted to her sex III Amer
lea, but even there, it seems, they want
to trample on her, or ut least upon her
skirts. ILLUSTRATED London News.
