"TRILBYr AND "TRILBY..


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Some excite
ment has been caused in the East by the
remarkable dispatch from Denver that an
astute lawyer of that center of learning
and erudition has discovered that '"rrilby''
was not written by Du Maurier at all, but
written originally in Franco I'm 1920
and translated into English in 1917. and has
consequently been common property ever
since The dispatch left nothing to the
imagination. 1t stated plainly that "Tril-
by the Du Maurier creation, was born i'm
the year 1S2o and left no ground for the
belief that there could be any confusion,
and that there might be another 'Trilby'
Of which the Denver lawyer did not know.
Any one who has kept track of the cur
rent "Trilby" craze knows we'll enough that
the will-o' the-wisp, 'rriiby. the Fairy of
Argyle" has been reprinted by the modern
publishers from its ancient translation in
lsf7 I'm the hope that IL might be bene-
fitted by some of the side drift from the
real "'rrilby." This dainty little story of
fairies and elfs sprinking through the
Scottish waterfalls is not only totally un-
like the story OF Du Maurier, but is not
one-tenth as long as the great fin de steele
story of the hypnotized songstress LII
thority in the country on such subjects,
said to the Journal correspondent this
morning that there could be no confusion
between the two .'Trilbys.' and that the
publication of the former story i'm this
country under Its name could not affect
the copyright of the later '.Trilby" as a
noun cannot be copyrighted as a title. The

NEW YORK, May 2.-Passengers on the
steamship Colombia. which has reached

in a ferment over President Zelaya's arbi-
trary rule One passenger, who hopes to
return to Nicaragua, and, therefore. does
not wish his name used says: "A revolu
ton is preparing in Nicaragua. Plans for
Zelaya'S overthrow well under way,
and when the coffee crop is harvested there
will be an uprising throughout the country.
Zelaya's policy in the expulsion OF Hatch
was outrageous. When Barrios returned
from his useless mission to England. Pres-
dent Zelaya kept secret from every one the
fact that the minister had failed. Even
when British war ships were moving
towards Corinto. Zelaya had hoodwinked
the people and derided the report that the
British intended TO occupy the town. When
the British war ships did arrive they were
amazed. One of the Presidents latest acts
of persecution, IL Is alleged. was the brutal
treatment Of a son of ex-President Zavala.

ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.

MANAGUA. May 2.-Advices received
here from the commander of the Nicara-
guam forces at Paso de Cabellos. short
distance from Corinto. this morning. say
that so far as known at the Nicaraguan
headquarters the British force under Rear
Admiral Stephenson has not made any fur
ther demonstration beyond removing the
rails from the national railroad communi-
eating with Corinto in order. it is pre-
sumed, to guard against a surprise on the
part of the troops of the republic. The
latter are animated by feelings of the most

aqua and Great Britain regarding the In
demnity demanded by the latter country as
lie of certain British subjects who had
made themselves obnoxious to the govern
ment.
Although the British forces have not
made any attempt to leave Corinto for the
interior of Nicaragua. the manner in which
Trench. of the flagship Royal Arthur,
treated two prominent Nicaraguans yes
terday, is we'll calculated TO still further in
crease the feeling against Great Britain.
The two gentlemen alluded TO. belonging
10 leading families of Nicaragua. were de-
tailed by the government to make certain
communications TO the British Governor
and with this object in view they succeeded
in crossing from the main land into Corinto.
where they made their way TO the office of
the Italian consul. On arriving they sent a
messenger to Captain Trench. informing
him that they desired to confer with him
in regard to certain matters of Importance
connected with the British occupation OF
Corinto The object of the Nicaraguans in
requesting that the interview take place
at the office of the Italian consul was that
they desired to avoid officially recognizing
Captain Trench Governor of Corinto.
The British officer however. refused TO go
to the Office of the Italian consul. and in
formed them that il they desired 10 see
the Governor of Corinto they were TO come
to his Captain Trench's) Office. This the
Nicaraguans refused to do. and when the
British captain notified of this fact
he sent them a message ordering them TO
leave the island instantly under the penalty
of being driven out by force. The exact
object OF the visit of the Nicaraguan OFF,
cials to Captain Trench is not known here.

Corinto tonight to confer with Admiral

fleet there, concerning the issues between

Ohio coal operators from Pittsburg to-
night: "A thorough investigation of the
mining situation in western Pennsylvania
and an intimate knowledge of the plans
and purposes of many of the leading oper-
ators of this section convinces me that the
miners will surely be defeated in their
present strike This result will not be
changed by any action of the Ohio miners.
AS you are aware, l have actively opposed
the present movement to reduce wages In
the Pittsburg district below the 69-cent
rate. To-day over one hundred outside
men were put to work by Mr.. Robbins at
his Jumbo mines. Several other operators
are arranging TO fill their mines with
men in case OF a prolongation of the
strike. If a uniformity of wages could be
secured in this section generalization and
lowering of wages in competitive fields
could be very largely prevented

WHEELING, W. Va, May 2.-Neither
State nor federal authorities have received
any alarming reports from the scene of
the miners strike in the Elkhorn region on
the Norfolk & Western road to-day. Gov
ernor McCorkle received telegram from
Richmond saying that the Virginia au-
thorities had heard no alarming reports,
and that everything was quiet in the Poca-
hontas field United States Marshal Gar
den has no information from the region. A
Charleston special says that in case of
trouble Governor McCorkle will dispatch a
representative TO the scene at once TO
avoid any complications with the State of
Virginia that might arise over the ques-
tion of jurisdiction. Yesterday General
superintendent A. C.. Hippy. of the Nor
folk & Western road telegraphed for pro-
lection and was informed by United States
Marshal Garden that the government
could do nothing unless injunction was
issued from the federal court restraining
the strikers from interfering with the mails
or obstructing interstate commerce. The
of the strike is the Virginia
border in the southeastern part of the
State. All reports that Governor McCorkle
has been called upon for troops have been,
up TO this time, without foundation.

a ROasI.

TOPEKA. Kan, May 2.-Renewed appeals
have been made recently to General Man
ager Frey. cf the Sante Fe, for the re-
instatement of the American Railway
Union men who struck last year. but he re-
fuses TO recede from his original determina-
ton TO take none such men back into the
service of the company. These men, he
says. had permanent work and could have
retained their positions just so long as
they performed their duties and obeyed
rules and regulations. but they saw proper
to connect themselves with an irresponsi-
bic organization rather than to remain loyal
TO the company which gave them steady
employment and furnished them with
means of support for themselves and their
families. In conclusion Mr.. Frey says:
surely the management cannot be blamed
for the present condition of these men, as
due warning was given TO all employees
before the strike took place, protesting
against any action of employees in sup

fight against the Pullman Company

complication is al an end. The embassa-

keeping the embassy informed on the vary
ing stages of the affair. From the British
point of view IL is now conclusively estab-
stantial foundation for the reports that
Great Britain wanted TO occupy Nicaragua
and secure control of the canal.
Some facts are just coming 10 light re-
specting the earlier stage OF the negotla-
tions which explain In a measure the con-
fidence expressed by our government that
the British troops would not be landed at
Corinto and the surprise felt by IL when
the news OF actual landing came TO WASH
ington. Ii is now said that orders had been
cabled to Admiral Stephenson. command
ing the British fleet off Corinto to defer the
execution Of his orders to land the troops
until he had heard further from the British
government. BY cutting the telegraph
lines connecting Corinto with San Juan del
Sur, the nearest cable port, the Mic
araguans IL is asserted. stopped this mes
sage in transit and the Admiral had no
other course open to him than TO carry out
HIS original orders.
