Nicaragua Looks to Us.

A confirmation of London dispatches that Nicaragua had been informed that her counter proposition was not regarded as satisfactory by Great Britain was re- ceived here today.
 Nicaragua's present plan, it is under stood, is to endeavor to reach a compro- mise with Great Britain respecting the ultimate settlement of the indemnity of S75,000 to Pro-Consul Hatch. In pursu- ance of this purpose special represent ative may be sent to London, who will probably be General Barrios, who re- gently returned from England after an attempt to settle the difficulty.
 It is not doubted that in the end Mica xagua will pay the indemnity demanded, Sr offer to Great Britain in lieu of the $T5 900 part of her territory. The report has reached here that MT Goslin, the British minister to Central America, de- clared in Guatemala a few months ago that England especially wanted some interest in Nicaragua with view to preventing the yankees from controlling absolutely the Nicaraguan canal. 7 This statement, it is said was made publicly and without reserve. It was printed in the Guatemala newspapers at the time, and a high authority asserts to deny it. The particular patch of terri tory at present available from this pur- pose would be the so-ca1led Corn Is- lands" the possibility of whose proffered coSSion by Nicaragua 10 Great Bfllaln m lieu of a money indemnity, has been more than once suggested lately. These islands are situated in the Atlantic ocean about forty miles from Greytown. They would be of great value to Great Britain for coaling and naval station and an effective British sentinel over the Mica ragua canal.
 It is said to be absolutely impossible for Nicaragua to immediately comply with Great Britains money demand She has not $75, 900 in her treasury, and her popu- lation of about 1000 900 people, two-thirds Indians, have no developed resources on which they could raise the amount. The proposition of Pacific blockade of Nicaragua ports is quietly laughed at. Nicaragua, it is said, has no ships, and the blockade would only hurt the com merce of Germany. France and other countries as well as the United States.
 There are others who suggest that if Nicaragua should propose to cede corn islands to Great Britain as an equival- ent for the smart money" the immedi-. ate payment of which is demanded, this proposal might be regarded as a shrewd move to force the hand. of the United States.
 Nicaragua is not suffering for lack of diplomatic adroitness in her representa- tives either abroad or at home

LIKE THE SHADOW OF A GREAT ROCK
Is the Monroe Doctrine in Their Eyes 1.-The Significant Remark Of Minister Cos ling It Would Seem that An
 other Conflict Is Coming,

Washington, April 19.-The state de- partment has published the diplomatic correspondence existing between this government and Venezuela, extending over the period between October, 1893, and December 1894, relating to the boundary dispute between Venezuela and British Guiana, which, while adding but little to the general knowledge of the subject, indicates the serious turn affairs may take until an impartial arbitration of the conflicting claims is secured.
 The account of the negotiations which have taken place between Great Britain and the South American republic occu- pies over sixty printed pages. Venezu- ella makes it clear that she relies wholly upon United States intervention to se- cure a fair consideration of the matter. The Venezuelan minister of foreign af- fairs concludes one of his dispatches as follows:
 The control by England of the en- trance to the mouth of our great fluvial artery and of some of it's tributaries would expose to constant peril the in- dustry and commerce of a large portion of the new world, would in fact bring into ridicule the famous and salutary Monroe doctrine, and would establish abusive practices which in the end might make Elusive, for some American countries, their own political entity as free and independent states"

 The Atheneum orchestra next rem dered a selection and were followed by Miss Annie M. Judge, member Of Howard college, who recited 'Laska,' poem, in a beautiful manner. At first little shy, this soon wore off, and she surpassed the expectations of her friends. It was a delightful innovation and was warmly received. Next fol- lowed the debate, and masterly one 1t was. There were four contestants, and each ably represented the school of learning from whence they came. Two were novices, this being their first ef- forts in public, and to their credit, be 1t said, they acquitted themselves well.
 The subject of debate was Resolved, That suffrage should be restrained by a property, rather than an educational qualification"
 For the affirmative, Messrs. J. N. Ros- ser and J. w. Lindsey; for the negative. Messrs J. c. Hicks and F. Mynatt.
 MT. Resser opened the debate, and ac- quilted himself gracefully.
 After addressing the president and au- dience he announced the subject of de- bate and the position he occupied.
 He said. In appearing before you this evening nly COledSu ue dHe ihyoeil WiSii to have every one distinctly understand that we are so far from being opposed to the education of the common masses of the common people that we are will ing to do all in our power at all times to promote the cause of education, not alone in our own country, but even in foreign lands
 However, we are not to discuss the question of education this evening, no matter how interesting it may be, or how anxious you are to gather words of wis dom from our lips upon that great ques- tion (Laughter) We shall instead, turn our attention to the right of suf- frage, that right for which the English
