Of Nicaragua to the Isthmian ditch be-
gun by De Less4s. AS early as 1926,
and again in 1887, surveys were made
for the United States government for a
ship canal between the Caribbean sea
and the Pacific ocean by way of Lake
Nicaragua. Further surveys were
made.;n 1872 and in 1885. In 1910 and
1ssO.tlie Nicaragua government granted
concessions to Americans for construct
ing canal. but as this country did not
enter heartily into the plan of the con-
cessions the grants lapsed. In 1884 the
United States government signed
treaty for'the construction Of the canal,
but the senate refused to ratify it.
Three years later the Nicaraguans
granted new concession Ito run one

MRS. sHURZA HINsHAw.

In the yard with three chambers
empty, and near by where the body of
his wife was found a razor, which
proved to be his, was picked up. 1t
was evident that the shooting had been
done with his own pistol, and the cut
ting with his own razor, though an old
one which was used about the house
for other purposes than shaving. He
had said that he parted with the assas-
sin across the road and opposite to the
house, but the pistol was found in
such position that the man with
whom he struggled would have been
compelled TO return into the yard to
have placed it where found, thing
that he could not have done under
Hinshaw's statement. These develop
ments led the detectives to swear out
warrant, charging Hinshaw with the
crime. But the people of the county
were not prepared for such a denoue-
ment, and they denounced it as an out
rage. and came very nearly assaulting
the detective who caused the arrest
The trial under such circumstances
was a farce. for the detective was
afraid TO make case against him, and
the minister was released II was
agreed, however, at the trial that
there should be post norton on Mrs
Hinshaw, and the body was disinterred
q few days later. and full tnvestiga-
ton made OF the wound. II was found
that the bullet had penetrated the
brain. and that the immediate result OF
the shock was total paralysis of the
nerve centers. There hare been ex-

Barnetta Likes aer Sugar.

Fl. Q. Thomson, sugar planter liv-
ing near Vermillionville. La, owns a
mare, Barnetta, that might, in a dii-
ferent locality, prove q very expensive
bit of property. Barnetta was born
and has been raised upon cane plan
tstion, and constant intercourse with
the saocharine commodity has devel-
oped in her a sweet tooth, which moth
ing but the most generous supply of
sugar seems to satisfy. In fact, she
refuses to eat until her food has been
properly sweetened, not less than two
pounds of sugar being stirred into her
bran at every meal, and quart OF
molasses must be added to each bucket
of water before il satisfies her fas-
tidious taste Fortunately. sugar is
plentiful and the mare a valuable one,
so Thomson cheerfully humors her
within IN this matter.

dIio ,ue n1H:uccnnncc CT ureytown as a
free port.
Two years ago Nicaragua grew tired
of this state of affairs and occupied the
Mosquito territory. Chief Clarence,
the head of the Indians, and his officials
were expelled, and Great Britain Of
ficially recognized Nicaragua's sover-
eighty over the territory. 1t was
thought that this would end the con-
troversy, but subsequent action on the
part OF Pro-Consul Hatch and other
British officials demonstrated that
Great Britain was determined to assert
some kind of claim in the premises.
The expulsion of Mr.. Hatch gave the
British foreign Office chance to pick a
quarrel with Nicaragua and led to the
occupation of Corinto, which would
have been permanent but for the en-
phatic, though tardy, protests from
Washington.
Tho United States cannot afford to
let any European power obtain a foot
hold In Nicaragua. provided it wishes
to maintain absolute control over the
ship canal. which is sure to be built bv
Americans, whether they receive a
government subsidy or not. The route
of the entire canal is within Nicaraguan
jurisdiction. From Greytown on the
Atlantic coast the waterway will lead
to Brite on the Pacific. a distance of
169% miles. OF this about III mile. Is
through Lake Nicaragua and the San
Juan river. and in the remainder ad.
vantage can be taken # river basins &C
that the actual excavations will not ex.
coed 2! miles There will be two canals
proper. each with three locks. One OF
the canals leads from point on the
San Juan river to Greytown. about IS
miles; the other from Lake Nicaragua
to Brito, TX miles The locks will
bring the canal to the necessary summit
level which in the lake is 10 feet. The
deepest excavations will be near the
eastern end of the canal. To COMPLETE
the work would require not less than
500. 600, in addition to the sum al.
ready disbursed.
Congress will have to decide whether
the Nicaragua canal shall be thorough.

Stipulation has not been carried out
After expanding about $1,000, 900 in
surveys, in the erection of barracks for
aaborers. hospitals, warehouses and ma
chine shops and the improvement of
Greytown herbor the companys funds
were completely exhausted. A tremen-
hous effort was necessary to build eleven
miles of railroad along the line of tho
ranal. When this preliminary work
had been accomplished the Nicaragua
Construction company, to whom the
contract of building the road had been
let by the Maritime Canal company,
went into the hands of receiver. Soon
Rfterward agents of the canal company
appeared in Washington and urged SEN
Rtors and representatives to pass bills
guaranteeing the payment of the bonds
TO be issued by the company. Thus far
their efforts have been unsuccessful,
but the lobbyists have already made
considerable capital out Of the British
occupation of COrinto and may be able
TO persuade our lawmakers that the
United States should have a financial
interest in the Nicaragua canal in order
TO make British interference with its
construction and management impos-
sible. The Monroe doctrine, argue
these gentlemen, has received so many
stabs in the back of recent years that it
no longer inspires respect either on this
continent or in Europe. and something
far more substantial than sentiment
and tradition is needed to prevent the
British lion from grabbing the most
important waterway in the world.
Of course it is lobbyists duty to
paint the gloomiest picture imaginable
when it suits their purpose; bur Just
now they have ample grounds for
spreading alarming reports. Great
Britain is jealous of the canal project

| although acting as a representa-
| tive of the British government. Never
theless, Nicaragua had to pay
SIS, 900 for this insult" President
Zelaya expected the United States to
protest against British aggression and
the occupancy by British sailors of the
important Pacific port of Corinto; but,
for reasons not yet made public-al-
! though probably sufficient-the WASH
| ington government failed to interpret
the Monroe. doctrine in a way favorable
to the oppressed Nicaraguans. Great
Britain occupied Corinto for few days,
and then, having received bond guar
anteeing the payment of the arbitrary
indemnity of $751; 900, withdrew its
ehips. She had gained what she wanted
the acquiescence of the United States
in her occupation of American soil.
Diplomats well posted in LatinArner-
lean affairs are of the opinion that as
soon as the Nicaragua canal is nearing
completion Great Britain will attempt
to receive the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
made many years ago, which guaran-
tees her an equal share with the United
States in the protectorate of any inter-
oceanic canal which might be opened
in Nicaragua. This treaty has been
called the first great compromise OF
the Monroe doctrine; the second, some
assert, was our 1ukewarm attitude in
the Corinto affair.
The map accompanying this article
explains why Great Britain objects to
relinquishing her protectorate over the
Mosquito coast, a stretch of territory
lima bited by hybrid race of Indian
African breed. In 1888, and again in
1856, England abandoned its claims to
any portions of the Central-Americau
coast, reserving only the privilege Of
cutting logwood in what is now British
Honduras. But when Central America
threw off the Spanish yoke and its
people formed the five republics, Great
Britain stepped in and reasserted its
protectorate Still later, when tho
Nicaragua canal was proposed. the
Mosquito Indians, at the instigation of
England, took possession q Greytown
on the prctext that it was included in
their territory. Nicaraguans drove out
the intruders, but were forced to retire
soon afterward. The Indians imIne-
diately reoccupied the port, and the
British attempted to take possession Of
an island CD the Pacific coast to reim-
burse themselves for subsidies surrep-

then carried her to the place where she
was afterward found, and inflicted the
wounds upon himself to corroborate
his story Of the two men in the house.
The autopsy left no doubt that she was
para1yzed by tho shot. Mrs. Hinshaw
kept diary and many of the entries
show that she was laboring under some
great trouble. In letters to her parents
in Randolph county she referred to her
domestic troubles and in one she said
that she wanted her husband to leave
Belleville and return to Randolph
county for residence. It is not denied
that she was jealous OF woman who
lived IN or near Belleville, and common
rumor credits her with having just
cause for jealousy. The trial promises
to be rich In sensational developments,
but it will hardly come off before the
term of court.

trayod by . Diary.

The adage that murder will out"
has had an interesting and most sensa-
tional exemplilcation in the case Of
Rev. William E. Hinshaw, of Hendricks
county, Ind, who is now in Jail at Dan
Vile under grand jury indictment for
murder in the first degree. Six months
ago he was popular and highly re-
spected minister of the Methodist
church, having pastorate at Belle
vile, Hendricks county, and also
preaching to country congregations in
the neighborhood Of the village, and
there was no man who stood higher in
the community or whose eloquence was
more potent in stirring the hearts Of
the people to good works. Indeed, SO
powerful was he as q pulpit orator, SO
correct in his life and exemplary in
his habits that the people looked upon
him as one Of the most promising Of
the young ministers Of the state, and
destined to become a shining light in
the church militant. The Chicago
Chronicle tells the story Of the alleged
crime as follows:
On the night of January 10 last Rev.
Hinshaw preached to the congregation
at Cherry Grove, a country church some
three miles from his home at Bereville
After the services, which had proved
exceptionally interesting to his hock,
he and his wife returned home in z
buggy. 1t was remarked that he sug-
gested to Mrs. Hinshaw that she remain
over night with one of his Pensioners,
but she declined to do So, and accom-
panied him to their home. At two
o'clock the next morning the residents
of the village were aroused by pistol
shots and cries for help coming from the
street Immediately in front of the par
sonage. They gathered at thu place
and found Hinshaw in the street, appar-.
emily exhausted, and covered with
wounds, while Mrs Hinshaw was dis
covered lying in the doorway leading
to the street unconscious from bullet
in her brain. She died two hours later
without having recovered conscious.

the house, and after his wounds were
