Little Nicaragua Must Yield by
Thursday Night.
If Not England Will Land
Troops at Once.
A BLOCKADE.
Nicaragua's Commerce to be
Crippled on the Seas.
The Monroe Doctrine is Still
NicaragGa'S Hope.

WASHINGTON, April 24-Exact official
information has been received as to
Great Britain's belligerent steps in Mica
ragua. British troops are to be landed
at Corinto. The custom houses are to be
occupied by the British forces and
British officers are to exercise the func-
tions of collectors of customs At the
same time Nicaraguan local commerce
is to be crippled by blockade.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua
to yield expires tomorrow (Thursday)
and the blockade landing of troops and
seizure of custom houses is to begin i'm
mediately thereafter.
There is good reason to believe that
Nicaragua is not likely to yield but will
allow British troops to occupy Corinto in
order that conspicuous attention may be
drawn to what is regarded by Nicaragua
as an invasion of the Monroe doctrine.
DR.. Guzman, Nicarguan minister, is
inaccessible today. and has been very
active since early morning.
Nicaragua's hopes now are almost en- :
tirely centered on Washington. 1t is
now believed, however, that DR.. Guzman
has succeeded in eliciting the interven-
tion of the United States

WOULDN'T GO TO CHICAGO.
EIso Would Marry Her but He Liked
HobOken.

EIsO Would Marry Her but He Liked
NEW YORK, April 24.-Chief of Police
Donovan of Hoboken was appealed to in
a singular manner last night. Miss
Helena Roche who is 90 years old, and
whose home is in Chicago, wanted the
chief to compel young man, Richard
Elso, to accompany her to Chicago. Miss
Roche is said to be rich. Last Novem-
ber she went to Leipsic to spend the
winter.
While at hotel there she fell in love
with Elso young man who was the
bookkeeper of the establishment. De-
spite the disparity of their ages, she and
Elso arranged to return to Chicago to-
gether and be married When they ar
rived in Hobokeu, Elso said he liked the
town and refused to go to Chicago.
He was still willing to marry Miss
Roche, he said, but she would not COZ :
sent to the ceremony unless he would ac-
company her to Chicago as he had
agreed.
Donovan told Miss Roche that there
was no law to compel Mr.. Elso to go to
Chicago against his will. The couple
are still at the hotel, with little proba-
bility of reaching an agreement

POLICE sToP THE FIGHT.

The King Robins Contest at Parsons
Ended in Seven Rounds.
At last one prize fight has been stopped
in Kansas. 1t was at Parsons, and in
the sixth round the fight became SO
brutal that the city marshal interfered.
The contestants were Jack King, the
we'll known Topeka pugilist, and j. d.
Robins of Mcclure. They were billed
for 15-round contest for points.
1t seems that bad blood had existed be-
tween the men for some time, and the
sparring match was used only as blind
for finish fight. Robins weighed in at
128 and King at 139 After several pre-
liminaries the men appeared before a
large crowd in ring costume. Several
hard fought rounds were passed, and it
was plainly seen that both men were out
for blood. In the fifth round King
scored a knock down on Robins and
Robins was nearly counted out by the
referee. After recovering, he also got
in knock down on King. Robins was
badly winded at the close of the sixth,
and after being knocked down in the
seventh. and losing his wind, Marshal
Davidson stepped in and stopped the
fight. The referee could not persuade
the officer to let the contest continue.
Robins was severely punished, and while
good man, would have been put to
sleep in three more rounds. The affair
caused most intense excitement, and the
fight will probably be pulled off at some
country town near.

WON'T MARRY NOW.

Son of Vice President Vickes Has Il liz
cense to Marry Kansas City Girl.
ST LOUIS, April PA marriage Ii
cense was issued Tuesday to Mr. Thomas
II. Wickes, jr., son of Vice President
Wickes of the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany, and Miss Mana J. Nelson of Kan
sas City.
Despite the possession of legal permis-
Sion to marry the young people will not
enter the matrimonial state until some
future date. This is the statement of
the young man himself.
The fact that Mr. Wickes has
not been permanent resident
of St Louis and that his
bride to- be comes from another city,
gave ground for the suspicion that an
elcpement was contemplated.
When Mr.. Wickes was seen today at
the residence of his uncle, Mr.. Harrison,
he denied this emphatically. miss Nell
son is in the house here and there will
be no marriage for the present" was his
statement.
Mr.. Wickes was unwilling to make
any explanation of this peculiar state of
things, but in answer to a question said
that the marriage was perfectly agreea-
BILE to the families of both.

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
The State Central Committee Meets to
Map Out Campaign.

Map Out q Campaign.
DEs MONIES, Ia, April 24-The men,
bers of the Democratic state central
committee and all the prominent Demo-
Gratis of the state with full delegations
from Davenport, Burlington and other
strongholds, particularly the river coun-
ties, are holding a meeting today to de-
eide on date for the Democratic state
convention, a tenn mporary chairman for
the convention, and TO map out the
policy to be pursued in the cam
paign to considerable extent,
though the leaders claim there will be
no attempt to usurp the functions of the
state convention.
Nothing in the way of a platform will
compel the Republicans to take some de-
cided stand on the liquor question. It
is believed that silver is under dis
cussion, and also that the policy of the
party will be friendly to the white metal
in Iowa.
That seems to be the strongest senti-
ment among the party leaders here, but
it can hardly be predicted what kind of d
plank the platform will contain, as no
action has been taken, the meeting being
in the nature of an Informal conference.
The Leader, leading state paper. ad-
vises the Democrats to find a practical
common ground for work on this sub
ject. This seems to meet the approval
of large number An effort will be
made TO conf1ne the campaign to state
issues as far as possible.
The Republicans want it to be fought
on national issues.

Another person who seemed anxious
Tor Senator Baker to catch fish and have
some real nice sport, suggested that he
ought to have spoon hook and several
fly hooks; then he might catch bass with
out live bait.
''What do you mean by aspoon' hook?"
replied the senator. Scan l buy one at

A bystander replied "yes." and down

MOTE GIVES 81, 900 BOND,

AS Guarantee That the Baseball Games
Will He Played or the Money Refunded.
H. G. Mote assisted by Harry Hibben
has gone to work in earnest selling sea-
son tickets to the Topeka baseball games.
Twenty five games are guaranteed and
the ticket is constructed like a meal
ticket so that the purchaser, if he doesn't
want So worth, may take what he likes.
There had been some comment among
those who would ordinarily purchase
tickets for such an enterprise, that Mr.
Mote was stranger and doubt has been
expressed regarding his ability to fulfill
his part Of the contract To obviate this
objection Mr. Mote has secured $1,000
bond with F. G. Fleischman as the
surety, and deposited it with Judge
Quinton. as a guarantee that the games
win be played or money refunded.
Mr.. Mote has force of men at work
at Athletic park building the fence and
grand stand Eight players have been
signed, five of whom are already here.
This looks like business. The expenses
thus far have been born by Mr.. Mote
singly. He needs all the support he
gets. Those disposed to encourage the
base ball enterprise should give MIR. Mote
their substantial backing.

FELL LIKE A BLIGHT.
Judge Hunter of Illinois Comments on
the eAdministration's Course.

the Administrations Course.
SPRINGFIELD. Ill April "a 4-Chairman
Heinrichsen of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee has given out personal
letter received from Judge Andrew j.
Hunter of Paris, Ills, in relation to the
coming state convention.
Judge Hunter says the party is badly
divided owing to the refusal of the ad-
ministration, the senate and the house
to carry out the Chicago platform; all
of their acts being to make gold alone
the standard and to repudiate silver in
every conceivable manner.
"The acts of the administration" says
he, "fell like blight and mildew upon
the hopes of the party, leaving nothing
but defeat and disintegration as a monu-
ment."
He thinks the committee has adopted
the only safe course left open
to honest, faithful servants of
the party. 60 to the people with these
complications; let them speak, and when
their voice is heard, let it be final.
If there are men in the party who are
not willing to obey the command of the
people it is time for them TO learn that
the Democracy is not playthiDg but
founded on popular will.
