from Managua say that the Nicaraguan
government has formally decided to
accede to the compromise proposition
OF the settlement of the pending trou-
bles, and this decision has been COM
municated to the authorities ut
Washington and London. Accord
ing to this proposition Nicaragua
agrees TO pay the 9i5,5O0 in London,
fifteen days from the time the British
ships leave the harbor of Corinto. II
now remains for Great Britain to agree
TO this condition. The government
course is regarded rs shifting on Great
Britain further responsibility for the
trouble. The most positive assurance
OF the prompt payment Of the money
has been given so that there may be no
question of uncertainty on this point.

Secretary Morton and Seed Distributions

tai Notes
Government Seeds.

WASHINGTON, April .0.-Secretary
Morton thinks he has found way to
break up the congressional custom OF
scattering millions Of packages OF
garden seeds all over the country. lie
Is now considering whether It will be
expedient to make the fight for reform
and dare the wrath OF statesmen, who
favor the garden seed distribution.
The secretary has collected evidence
of the misuse OF the seed privilege, but
he recognizes that IL will be a severe
struggle to wrest from congressman
any OF their perquisites.
During the last congress Secretary
Morton asked that less money he cx-
pended in purchasing seeds, and that
he be given an appropriation for the
distribution of farmers bulletins that
would contain information OF practical
value. Congress gave him this appro-
priation. but chung to that for seeds
also. but when the language of the
appropriation comes to he critically
examined, an opening seems to present
itself for carrying out Secretary Nor
toms views. The appropriation
reads: "For the purchase, propa'
CATION and distribution. rs re-
quired by law, Of valuable
seeds, bulbs" etc. Then comes pro-
viso which explicitly states that there
shall be no diversion of this appropria-
ton. but that II shall he used for the
purchase. etc., of improved and valn-
able seeds" According to the sections
of the statutes, all OF which are still
unrepealed, the secretary will be justi-
fed in restricting the appropriation to
the purchase of rare and valuable seeds,
as expressed in the language OF the
statute, and refusing to purchase the
hundreds of tons OF ordinary garden
seeds. such as have been distributed

vents summary action similar to that

DEATH FROM THE SMOKE.
Mclaughlin Found Lying on a
Burning Mattress.

John Mclaughlin, twenty-four years
old, no home, was found suffocated yes
terday morning in vacant house at
at No. % Beacon avenue.
At seven O'Clock yesterday morning
smoke was seen emitting from the win
dows. DR.. White of Christ Hospital,
who was passing, pulled the fire alarm
box. When the fremen broke open the
door they found Mclaughlin lying on a
mattress on the second floor near the
fireplace. There was a fire in the CRATE,
and the mattress was so close to it that
sparks had set it ablaze. Mclaughlin
was unconscious. He was removed to
Christ Hospital, and died shortly after
wards. Seyenty-five dollars worth of
damage was done to the house
The entire second floor was burned
through. The only things in the room
were a mattress, a beer jug and a tai
low candle. The house is owned by
McLaughlin's aunt, Mrs. McArthur, of
No. SO West Ninth street New York
City.
Mclaughlin had no home and was out
of work, and it is supposed he broke into
the house Saturday night, built a fire in
the CRATE, and lay down to sleep on the
mattress which he drew near to the
fire to keep himself warm
DR.. Converse said death was chiefly
due from suffocation, although the body
was slightly burned.

THE MACKAY BENEFITS
QUEST.

HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. II, 1995.-A good
deal of speculation was indulged in here
yesterday over the report that the
steamer La Gascogne was ashore on
Sable Island. No one can tell where or
how the rumor started. It certainly is
not official, the only communication with
Sable Island this time of the year being
by carrier pigeons, and none have arrived
at the loft here. The Superintendent
says none would be let go in such wea-
ther as has prevailed for the last week
It is reported here that the cable steam
er Mackay-Bennett, which sailed today
has gone looking for La Gascogne, but
this is doubtful.
The La Gascogne should havebeen at
least 100 miles south of Sable Island, and
If she is near there it could only be by
her having became disabled and drifting
there or carried there by winds and
waves while bearing up for Nova Scotia
for coal.
The probabilities are, however, that the
whole story originated by somebody sug-
gesting that the La Gascogne had gone
