WASHINGTON, April 27.-In speaking to-
night of the action of Nicaragua in closing
Corinto, Senator Morgan said: "Nicaragua's
right to close the port is undoubted. Every
nation has the power to designate ports of
entry and to change them at will. To land
goods at Corinto while it is closed would
be smuggling, and the payment Of duties to
the British authorities would not alter the
fact. AS soon as the goods were taken
into the interior. the Nicaraguan forces
would seize them, and either confiscate them
or compel the payment of fresh duties and
would be perfectly justified in doing so.
BY her action, Nicaragua has deprived Great
Britain of the power to obtain at Corinto
the indemnity she demands. II another port
be seized. Nicaragua can close that also,
or can repeal her entire tariff law. and
allow all goods to enter free OF
duty. She could also declare an en-
barge on imports from all nations
except those whose goods she is dcbarred by
treaty from excluding. She could not ex-
clude our goods, because our treaty with
her prevents IL, but She could exclude Great
Eritain's, because the latter has made war

JEFFFRSONyILLE, Ind, April 27.-Cap-

vessels. was to-day held in 1000 bonds in
the City Court until Monday on the charge
of felonious assault. The difficulty in which
Captain Medill became involved occurred at
a late hour last night on a street car. On
the car was an ~ex-convict by the name of
Whitesides. who without provocation,. as
saulted Captain Medili with a stool. infict-
ing several painful wounds on the head. Mr..
Medill then drew a revolver and fired three
times, but failed to strike Whitesides. who
escaped from the car. One of the bullets
struck driver Wyatt. inficting a slight
wound. and each of the other two struck a
mule, from the effects of which one of the
mules died this afternoon. Captain Medill
resides in ST. Louis, and has been located
here for some time. The cause of the muir
derous attack on him is thought TO be the
fact that Whiiesides is employed by Sween-
ey Brothers, the beat builders. with whom
Captain Mediil had come trouble a year ago
because he failed to approve some material

GREENHALGE'S POPULARITY,

1t Seems Likely to Give Him an I'm
precedented Majority.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BOSTON, Mass, November Sit is repub-

Greenhalge seems likely to place the record
Of republican majorities so high that it may
never be beaten. His popularity with the
leaders of his party, the support of the A.
P. A. which his platform will win for him,
the favor with which many Catholic demo-
Gratis regard him. and the lack of enthusiasm
for Williams in the ranks of the democratic
ward workers will all help to swell the vote
of the republican candidate.
The legislature will be strongly republican
in both branches, but 1t is hardly likely that
the democrats will be held down to the very
slender representation of last year, when
they had only two votes in the senate and
only about fifty In the house-not enough
in either place to force a roll-call. The
democratic gains will be made in Boston,
where the breaches made in the congreSsion-
al contests are partially healed, and the
chief republican losses will be in the cities
Ike Springfield, where the A. p A captured
the party machinery and put their own men
on the republican ticket. The old-time re-
publicans will unite with the democratic
minority.
