THE Marquis De Casteliane' VINO
came to this country to attend the re-
cent wedding of his son to Miss Gould
has returned to France, and in the
last number of the Rerue de Paris pup
fishes his impressions Of the United
states. He was only here fifteen days,
but that he is man of keen, quick and
critical observation is demonstrated by
the following extract from his article ;
"Washington is the cradle of the po-
,;t;cal constitution of the United States.
tie theIo mat the latter has its guard
ians. from the General-in- Chief to the
simple soldiers. The President OF the
Republic, almost as powerful as an alb
solute king, with power to veto the de-
cisions of the chamber elected by uni
versal suffrage, choosing his Ministers
to suit himself, governing, in case OF
need, and without any one daring TO
hinder him against the majority OF the
Representatives A Senate, essential
ly corrupt, and in that consolation
for the French, who know only too
we'll the undercrust of the Panama af-
fair! Representative without author
itv, without, social standing; employees
recognized in advance as being un-
faithful, even by those who appoint
them"
That this is true picture of political
Washington is recognized at once by
every body at all familiar with public
affairs at the national capital. And
vet there awrGnany people who really
believe that government with such
guardians, and so conducted, can be OF
long duration.

To MAKE the Stiffness of the CAB in
respect of Southern man being the
nominee of the next national demo-
cratic convention so plain that all who
run may read, it is only necessary to
say that though the democrats have
had, at the same time, possession OF
both branches of Congress and the
Presidency, law still stands upon the
statute books of the country, prohibit
ing ex-Confederates from holding CON-
missions in the L. S. army. If an ex-
Confederate, in the opinion of Northern
democrats, be disqualified for commits
sion as lieutenant in the Z. S. army,
wouldn't it be absurd for them to sup
port one for commander-in-chief Of
that army?

M Strike Of MassilIon Miners.

MAssILLoN, O., April ga sensa-
tional dispatch has been sent out from
this district to the effect that notices
had been posted at the mines calling
out 10000 men on May LIST. The
strike, it was alleged, was on account
of dissatisfaction with the arbitration
award of last fall and fear that reduc.
ton in wages in Pennsylvania would
be followed by cut here. There is
absolutely no strike and no fear of one
in the district.

We have received from the Office of

We have received from the Office of
publication copy of the April number
of the Protestant Episcopal Review pub
lished at the Theological Seminary
near this city. The leading articles are
three in number, "Kinloch Nelson, d..
D. by L. M. Blackford, NJ. A; "Legis-
lation for Christian Unity" by the Rev.
Hall Harrison, and FLORENCE Night
ingale," by Frances A. Boyce Gaillard.
The article on the late Professor N,l-
son is of more than ordinary interest.
It is accompanied by an excellent like
ness. His friend and former comrade
in arms, Mr.. Blackford, presents true
and appreciative sketch of his honora-
BILE and busy life. He traces its sue
cessive stages as soldier, parish min
lister and professor, in all of which his
devotion to duty, strength of character
and growing influence are depicted.
Mr.. Blackford describes the doctors
interest in the High School and his
prominent connection with the diocesan
and general councils of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. We could have
wished a longer account of his life as
soldier, but we suppose Mr.. Blackford
was restrained by the limitations of q
Revie,p article. We are sure that the
many friends of DR.. Nelson and his
comrades of the Lee Camp, c. Y, OF
this city, will read the sketch with
much interest. A letter from the Rev.
Prof. Granmer is embodied in the arti-
Gle, which presents striking summary
of DR.. Nelson's ability and influence.

sure the Virginia Court of Appeals for
refusing to admit women lawyers to
practice, and say it is evidence OF
Bourbonism. Such censure is the
highest commentator the court could
receive from that quarter. 1t is for
tunate for Virginia and all her people,
women as we'll as men, that her highest
court stands as a stonewall betwee u
her and the New England isms that

The occunation of corinto.

New YORK, April pa Corinto,
Nicaragua, special says the town is per-
fectly quiet and that the British are or
ganizing their government. An officer
of the cruiser Royal Arthur says that
the next two days will decide whether
the British occupy more territory, or
withdraw altogether, as important tele-
grams are expected from England.

THE NICARAGUAN AFFAIR.

A dispatch from London says THE
United States government attempted TO
amicably adjust the pending dispute be-
tween Great Britain aud Nicaragua.
Ambassador Bayard, acting under in
structions from Washington, represent
ed to the British foreign Office that
Nicaragua, if given two weeks ad
ditional time from the expiration of the
three days fixed in the ultimatum,
would meet Great Britain's demand for
the payment of $1,000 indemnify for
the expulsion of pro-consul Hatch.
Lord Kimberley acceded to this, and,
as it was presumed that the State De
partment at Washington was acting
for Nicaragua, it was thought that the
incident would be closed without fur
Their complications. But, as Nicaragua
refused at the last moment to acquiesce
in this arrangement, the original plan
of occupying Corinto was carried out.
It is now believed here that Nicaragua
secured the INTERPRETATION of the
United States for the sole purpose Of
delay"
1t is learned authoritatively that the
Central American republics-Guate-
mala, San Salvador aud Costa Rica-
strongly urged Nicaragua to pay the
$4,000 indemnity to Great Britain.
President Yglesias, of Costa Rica, even
went so far as to offer to contribute one
fifth of the amount, but popular senti-
ment in Nicaragua was so set against
England that the administration decid-
ed not to yield, and the only response
received by President Yglesias to his
offer was copy of Nicaragua's answer
70 Admiral Stephenson's ultimatum.
The President of Nicaragua protests
against Great Britain's action in land
ing troops at Corinto.
The Nicaraguan government has
closed the port of Corinto. The action
means that no goods can now be enter
ed at Corinto, port which has hereto
fore received over half of the imports
into the country, without violating the
national law Of Nicaragua. The British
NAV collect duties if any goods enter
the place, but the goods would be liable
to seizure the moment they crossed the
British lines into the interior.
1t is not believed in Washington that
Nicaragua will carry her resistance
much further. Public sentiment in
Nicaragua, it is believed, has compelled
President Zelaya to make show of
resistance and to issue his appeal to the
world, but it is confidently believed
that, rather than suffer the seizure of
other ports or bombardment, she will
comply and pay the indemnity.
Taking advantage Of the uneasiness that is
manifesting it elf througout the Nicaraguan
republic in consequence of England's occupa-
ton of Corinto, the opposition party is max
ing an attempt to overthrow the present adj
ministraton by force of arms. Martial law
has been proclaimed and recruits are being
enrolled. Rigoberto Caberias, governor of
the Mosquito Territory, has been recalled, but
he refused to surrender his authority unless
compelled to do SO by force. Gen. Augustin
Quartz the newly appointed governor, leaves
on Monday with large number of men to
reduce Caberjas to obedience.
Business at Corinto is paralyzed; the GUS
tom house and the postofice both remain
closed. The foreign residents there hope that
the government will soon come to terms

STABLE governments are in no dread

tant fear of detection. The alarm there
fore in which the filibusters' govern

natives of that country assemble and
meet together, show plainly enough that
its hopes Of permanency rest upon no
substantial basis.

which had been in the family for years,
and which was thought to be unloaded,
when it was discharged, and Miss
Augusta Groome fell to the floor. An
examination showed that Miss Groome
had been struck in the right temple by
the bullet. The bullet made hole as
large as quarter, and g physician in
attendance upon her says that she can.

There win be no strike ordered on the
Anacostia road by the Protective Street
Railway Union, that organization having
SO decided upon the grounds that il has
no authority 90 issue the order.
The demand upon the company for an
increase of pay has been left entirely with

and whatever action they may take after

that il is the last resort, they VIII have

committee has been appointed, com
posed exclusively OF AnacoStia road en-
ployes, charged with the duty of making "A
final appeal for the advance. Should it
be refused, the matter will then be con-
sidered by the men and decision an
nounCed.
From what was said by those who at
tended the union meeting last night 1t is
believed that the general sentiment of the
Anaocstia men is opposed TO a strike,
but they speak with a good deal of feeling
OF the adverse results OF the most recent
effort TO have their wages raised TO 81. 80
a day, the request of the committee having
being met with a positive refusal.
The employees refer TO the fact that
President Griswold's rejection of their
demand was accompanied by the statement
that the company is losing SIS 5000 per
year, yet when there was talk of having a
receiver appointed Mr.. Griswold made oath
10 the effect that the road was being run
on a profitable basis. They contrast
these two statements, and then cite that
a man worked four days on the road, and
when he got his pay envelope he found
that il contained but $3.50, the balance
OF 50 due him having been withheld for
some reason.
They also allege that Mr.. Griswold
has admitted To them that his company is
liable to fine Of S25 a day for running its
cars without Il conductor, and that even
with this economy he processes TO be
unable to pay living wages, while in court
be has said that his road is earning profits.
The union sympathizes with the men
under these circumstances and viii give
them It's Endorsement in whatever action
they may decide TO take.

Favor New Woman Costumes.

waltham. Mass. July 4-SiX thousand
people witnessed the athletic carnival at
the Waltham bicycle track to-day, under the
auspices OF the Emmett Literary Associa-
tion and the Waltham Bicycle Club.
The events We're especially noteworthy, be-
cause of the appearance Of Johnson, Tyler
and Sanger in a professional race for 81 900
and also because Of a contest between sew
eral women for prize TO be given TO the
one having the most approved female bicycle

the worlds competitive record for a mile
standing start, making the mile in los 80.
This race was run in two heats, Johnson won
the first in 200 2-5, finishing three lengths
ahead OF Sanger, who, in turIl, crossed the
lap about six lengths ahead Of Tyler.
In the second and final heat Tyler
flunked at the half and threw out Sanger.
Neither finished, but johnson, following
pace makers on a quad kept on, cross
ing the lap in one minute and flfty-eight and
three-fifth seconds amid cheers from the
multitude OF spectators.
The contest for the bicycle costumes was
intensely interesting, as the verdict OF
the judges has been expected TO, an a way,
decide the question OF preference between
blOomers and knickerbOckeTs and skirts,
long OF short.
IN the awarding OF the prizes, bloomers,
the closer BniCkCrbOckers and short skirts
won. The long skirt found 10 appreciation.

Miss Knox wore blOOmers, sack coat, an
ordinary bicycle cap, and CATERS.
Miss Costella a short skirt, leggiLgs, short
coat. and a straw tourist hat, and Miss
Kimban, knickerbockers, Eaton jacket, no
Eaiters, Tam O'Shanter hat, and q sash.
Some Of the women in the grand stand
showed their disapproval ofthe blOomer and
knickerbocker costumes by roundly kissing
their WearerS.
