NICARAGUA REPLIES.
ULTIMATUM OF GREAT BRITAIN
PROMPTLY MET.
Nicaragua's Answer is In the Ma
ture of a Counter-ProposaI, and
is in Two Parts.

Washington. April 15.-It is reliably sta
ted that Nicaragua has replied to Great
Britain's ultimatum. 1t is in the nature
of counter proposal and not a direct
acceptance or rejection of the British de-
mandS and as such il is not yet known
whether Great Britain will accept 1t as
responsive to the ultimatum which made
three demands:
First-A money indemnity Of Els. 900
sterling for alleged personal injuries

Second-The revocation of the declara-
ton of Punishment against British sub
jects.
Third-The formation of a commission

of Kimberly stated that an answer to the
ultimatum would be expected within sew
en- weeks of February 26. The seven
weeks are up tomorrow.
Nicaragua's answer is in two parts. To
the second demand 1t says that Nicara

banishments. To the first and third de-
mands. the answer is that in order to
preserve friendly relations with her ma

of fairness and justice, Nicaragua pro-
poses that all questions of payment for
personal injuries. ETC., be referred to an

courteously suggests that the $1,000 de-
mand is ex parte estimates and that the
whole question of the amount of damages
should be left to arbitration. Great Brit

awaited with interest, but Nicaragua's re-

The Match Trade.

Washington. April 15.-In Switzer-
land, the government retains the mo-
nopoly of manufacturing importing.
and selling matches. The federal as
sembly has just adopted constitution
al amendment providing that the gains
derived from the monopoly shall not go
to the federal treasury. but shall be
expended in the first line toward i'm
proving the manufacture of matches
and secondly to reduce as much as pos
sible their selling price. United States
consul German. at Zurich. VINO mas
reported these facts to the state de-
partment. adds that the use of yellow
PHOSPHORUS in match making is pro-
hibited because it is injurious to the
health of the workmen and dangerous
to the public. The sale OF matches IN
a retail way is open to all persons
subject to regulations to prevent mis-
use of the privilege. the government

Petition Going Around.

Washington, April 15.-Copies Of the
petition asking a rehearing of the income
tax question, were handed around to
members of the United States supreme
court today. There were no proceedings
in open court.
The petition sets forth the imperative
need of final determination, by a full
bench. of the questions on which the
court was equally divided.
Dissatisfaction with the decision Of the
court seems to be general. and it Is be-
lieved that the administration will do
all in its power to secure hearing Oh the
case.
The government. however, will not con-
sent to a reargument of any particular
question involved. but will insist that il
a rehearing is granted, the whole case
be reargued. The only point decided by
prevail OF the government, is that ex-
empting from the tax incomes from state
and municipal bonds. The rent e&emp-
ton is being vigorously attacked, and
the contention is made that if the late
decision stands. persons who paid the
SIS, 600, 900 collected during the war on in
come on rent have at least an equitable
claim against the government for res
titution.
The petition for rehearing sets forth
that while the court has decided two
points of the law, as to rents and mu-
nicipal bonds. yet no Judgment has been
announced authoritatively establishing
any principle for interpreting the act
on the following points:
First-Whether the void provisions IN
validate the whole act
Second-Whether as to the income from
personal property as such the act Is un-
constitutional as levying direct taxes.
Third-Whether any part of the tax, II
not considered as direct tax, is invalid
for want of uniformity.
The petition continues:
1.-THE appellants may we'll urge that
these serious constitutional questions
should be finally decided before their
trustee expends their funds in voluntary
payment of the tax. In addition. it IS
manifest that until a decision is reached,
the courts will be overwhelmed With liti-
cation upon these questions. and the
payment and collection of the tax will
be most seriously embarrassed In con-
clusion. the petition asks that the cases
be restored to the docket for rear gument
on the question upon which the contest
was evenly decided. In case this is de-
MED, the petition asks that the court be-
low may be directed to determine first.
whether or not the invaiidity of the
statute in the respects already specified
renders the same altogether invalid and
second. whether or not the act is con-
stitutional in the respects not decided by

Denver, Colo, April 15.-An i'm
mense throng tonight congrega1ed at
the Brown Palace hotel to greet the
two champions of silver. ex-Congress-
man ]. C. Sibley and General A. ].
Warner, and to extend TO them al
hearty welcome to the state.
The rotunda Of the hotel had been
profusely decorated with flags and
plants, while the entrance where the
guests of the evening were standing
had been draped with two large
American flags, Joined at the top by
a large shield, made in imitation Of
the silver dollar. Each gallery of ths
seven floors was crowded, while the
floor of the rotunda. was packed by
eager people of both sexes, all aux-
ious to do homage to the veterans OF
the silver cause.
AT SIS pm, the First regiment
band Of the c. N. G. announced the
approach of the guests. Their APP
pearance was greeted by a burst of
applause.
The Visitors Introduced.
Governor Mcintyre introduced the
two gentlemen whose coming had
caused such an outpouring. Ex-Con-
gresham Sibley was the first TO re-
spond to the introduction. Whiie, as
he said, it was not an occasion for
speechmaking. still he could not re-
frain from saying a few words in re-
gard to silver. He stopped himself,
however. before he had fairly entered
into the subject. and invited all his
hearers to attend the great meeting
to be held tomorrow
General Warner followed, and in a
few words thanked the audience for
shs reception and enthusiasm dis
played.
Both speakers seemed so full of
their subject that It was with diff
Guilty they refrained from making
lengthy addresses.
After the Introduction, a line vas
formed, and the crowd fled by tho
two gentlemen to shake their hands.
There was such a jam that a single
line could not be maintained, and the
people blocked UP three and four
deep. As Mr. Sibley remarked. ''ev-
ervthing that Colorado does, she does
with a rush.
Two Hours HnndshakinE.
For over two hours the f1andshalztng
was continued, and when the ex-
hausted statesmen retired everyone
who had the patience to wait had the
pleasure of pressing the hand and re-
ceiving a pleasant word from two OF
the foremost statesmen in the coun-
try.

on a Railway Track in California.

Sacramento, Cal, April 15.-About mid
night last night two strange men entered
the Office of the Colfax railroad depot and
told the agent they had seen three men
tampering with the rails about one. mile
west. Upon investigation it was found
that seven spikes had been drawn and
left lying alongside the track, the plates
and bolts reversed and two rails loosen
ed with a crowbar and other tools stolen
from the section-house lying beside the
track 1t was apparently the intention to
wreck and rob the eastbound express.

found near the place. The scene Of the
intended wrecking was over steep en-
bankment. The wrecked train would have

Winnipeg. Man.. April 15.-Arch-
bishop Langevin. the Roman Catholic

Mary's church last night when he an
nounced that hereafter all so-called adj
herents who did not follow the teach
ings of the church in the matter Of
education could not be regarded as
members of the Roman Catholic
church. This has an important bearing
on the Manitoba school question, and
means the accommodation of certain
Catholics who have taken q stand
against the church and with the Mani

fight for national schools. 1t is report
ed that a special encyclical from Rome
