John Fiske an Infant Prodigy.

Professor John Fiske is an able man
in several branches Of learning. 1t is
interesting to know that, according to a
recent biographical sketch of him, he
was the prize infant prodigy, in Amer
lea at least, of modern times. At he
was reading Latin authors, at 8 he had
read all of Shakespeare and a great
deal of Milton, and at 8 he was deep in
Greek He seems indeed to have taken
to Greek as duck takes to water, for
at Is he had dipped into nearly all the
extant classical authors and was read
ing Plato at sight while attending to
such incidental recreations as mastering
trigonometry, analytical geometry, sur
veying, navigation, ETC. Truly he was
a portentous child.

United States from Nicaragua, came on
from Washington and met him. Gem

leave of absence and will visit his
home in Nicaragua before returning to

incident and the trouble with the
Mosquito Indians. General Barrios

therefore, feel that she was called

government called the Mosquito In

Satisfactory reparation was made to
Nicaragua and the trouble ended"
The Nicaragua canal, which is arous-
ing a good deal Of interest in this
country just now, according to General
BarTio5 and Minister Guzman, is at
tracing even more attention and inter
est in Nicaragua. General Barrios said:
1.-THE people of Nicaragua are eagerly
waiting for this canal to be built They
feel that it is only q question of time
until such q waterway is constructed.
They hope the work will be done under
the supervision of the United States.
We would regret it if ENGLAND or any
other foreign power should assume the
task of building the canal. I have
watch with interest the Treatment
that the Nicaraguan bill has received
in your Congress. and I am led to be-
believe that the next Congress will au-
thorize the beginning of the work.
Minister Guzman is also enthusiastic
for it. He said:
at would be a great boon for this
country. The United States should con-
troll the Nicaragua in the west as
England controls the Suez canal in the
east The work that would be en-
tailed in building the canal would
give am impetus to our country. [ have
talked with men at Washington who
are interested in the measure, and ]
think as does General Barrios. that
the work will be begun by the author
ity of the next Congress. and will be
pushed by the United States"
General Barrios will go to Wash

the latter country Will surrender the
extra territorial jurisdiction she form

Seeond-There will be no extension
of Japanese territory on the main land
of Asia, but the Island of Formosa, a
Chinese possession lying off the coast,
will be permanently ceded to Japan.
Third-The Japanese will by treaty

STATE SENATOR BIGGY CREATES
A HUGE ROW.
He Had Been OFFERED Money at Va

Sacramento. Cal, March 12.-There
was a sensation in the state senate to-
day when Senator Buggy made charges
of attempted bribery and corruption.
A bill amending the lave relating to
street railroads and repeating a law
making five cents the maximum fare
to be charged by San Francisco street
railroads was up for consideration.
Biggy, of San Francisco, denounced
the bill as vicious and as in the inter
est of the street railroad combine He
said anyone who would vote for the

that he was not a sheep, and this was
one Of them. He wished everyone
present to understand that he had no
ilesftancy in taking up the gauntlet as
the champion Of the church against
the Hcenhous, sensational, soul-sIaying
press: in fact, such a contest found
him in his element.
He held that as a general rule not a
paper on the Pacific coast was fit for a
decent man to read, much less a Wo-
manly woman. and so thoroughly rot
ten was the press that one might as
we'll talk of reforming the devil as of
purifying it What was wanted, was to
kill the present newspapers and build
up better ones upon a standard of re-
ligious and scientific education.
Such a rabid, immoderate and ILL
tempered address was probably never
before listened to in an American
church, and the congregation by turns
laughed and Kissed him.
The editor preferred charges against
McRae to the presbytery, where the
complaint was dismissed. and Dean ap-
pealed to the church synod and has
commenced civil suit for slandAs
against the minister, summoning prac
tically the entire congregation to the
witness box.

Further Details.

Pueblo. Colo. March PA later special
to the Chieftain from Trinidad in regard
to the mob at Rouse gives more details
of the occurrence obtained by messenger.
A wagon with four of the nine prisoners
was met at Bear Creek by a party of
armed men mounted on horseback. They
commanded Deputy Sheriff Earl Danford,
who had charge of the prisoners, to
throw up his hands. This he did but the
driver, Welby, either became excited or
his horses became unmanageable and a
Volley from the party killed him. Sheriff
O'Malley. who was on his way to meet
the prisoners found one Of them shot In
the breast. He was wounded by horse
man who shot him while he Law on the
ground. No trace of the other three pris-
oners can be found. and it is supposed
from the treatment accorded the other
man, that they were speedily killed.
