MUST PAY INDEMNITY
GREAT BRITAIN'S DEMANDS ON NC
ARAGUA TO BE ENFORCED.
Two War Ships at Corinto for the
Purpose of BuIIdozing the Repub-
Iic-CIeveIand's Position.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Nicaraguan
minister here has received a cablegram from
his government announcing the arrival at
Corinto, Nicaragua, of two British war
ships, with the express purpose of en-
forcing the demands contained in the Brit
ish ultimatum. Just how this is to be done
the minister was not informed. The indi-
cations now are that Nicaragua will offer
a passive resistance to the British demands
for some time at least, and meanwhile
the United States will do nothing but await
the development Of events, unless the
British take some action that affects our
purely selfish interests, such as interfering
with our shipping or other interests of
American citizens. This attitude is assumed
In the full confidence that no attempt will
be made by the British to secure any Mic
araguan territory, no matter what course
she may be Obliged to pursue to accomplish
her purpose of collecting the smart money
Hatch.
There is reason to believe that not only
the Nicaraguan affairs, but the whole sub
ject of the extent of the protection to be
extended by the United States to the sister
republics of Central and South America.
has been very earnestly and deliberately
discussed by the President with his full
Cabinet and that the attitude as assumed
in the case of Nicaragua may be taken
as an indication Of the line of policy to
be adopted for the treatment of all ques-
tions arising between the European powers
and these republics having such basis
as the present nicaragua incident.

south Omaha Resolutions.

OMAHA, Neb., April 23.-The Omaha Live
Stock Exchange to-day censured Secretary
of Agriculture Morton for his erroneous
idea as at present working to the great det-
rilnent of the cattle interests of the coun-
try in creating wrong impression as TO the
relative cost of cattle and beef" After
reciting the manner of his investigation,
this resolution was adopted
Resolved, That we, the members of the
South Omaha Live Stock Exchange, call the
attention of the honorable Secretary of Agrl-
culture and the country at large TO the fact
that during the first three months OF the
present year cattle receipts at Chicago,
with full corn crop in Illinois, Indiana
and adjacent territory, fell off II per cent,
as against 1894; Kansas CityS receipts fell
off IS per cent, Notwithstanding big In
crease in Texas shipments and Omaha, in
the very heart of the drought-stricSen coun-
try fell off % per cent On account of this
shortage cattle prices advanced from 81
to 81 per one hundred as compared With
year ago, and the higher prices for beef
naturally followed. With the higher prices
for beef and the press agitation OH this sub
ject consumption fell off and cattle values
declined in consequence. we regard this
present depression in cattle values, how
ever as only temporary the indications
are that the next three months of this year
will witness a further reduction in available
cattle supplies of fully so per cent We are
satisfied that there can be no combine pos
sible among the beef packers on account
OF the increa ased number of buyers III all
the leading markets and the diversified in
terests represented by them.''

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Fish Conn
mission expects this year to almost double
the work of last year. In 1894 about 400.-
O00,000 fish were distributed. This year the
division of fish culture hopes to exceed
that figure by at least two hundred. and
probably three hundred millions. The work
of the spring distribution is now at its
height. From the Ohio and Michigan sta
tions the commission has already taken
about 100000 white fish and about eight

SURFING THE SECRETARY.
Resolutions Adopted at Chicago and
South Omaha on the Scarcity of
Cattle and Rise in Prices.

CHICAGO, April 25.-The Chicago Live
Stock Exchange to-day adopted a set of
resolutions setting forth that cattle receipts
at the four principal Western markets so
far have been 10000 head less than for the
same period of 1894, and as a result prices
have advanced, causing corresponding in
crease in the wholesale prices of dressed
beef The resolutions declare that exagger-
ated reports and false conclusions have been
widely circulated to the cause of the re-
cent advance in prices, and such unbound
ed reports have caused a decreased con-
sumption of beef, resulting in a denoraliza-
ton of the trade and consequent lower
prices of CATTLE The Chicago Live Stock
Exchange requests the public to withhold
Judgment until the Department of Agricul-
ture shall have Thoroughly investigated the
matter. 1t further pronounces the present
agitation based upon the claims of con-
spiracy among large dealers unjust and in
furious, and that the statements set forth
are substantially untrue, and that the whole
industry is depressed thereby, and that the
interests of the feeders and shippers OF the
whole country are placed in jeopardy It
invites the press to investigate the contro-
yersy and give their conclusions the same
publicity as has been given to RECKLESS

indispensable to nation's commerce, both
at home and abroad. Civilized nations
have long since adopted the metals. silver
and gold, as the best foundation for such
currency. Enlightened craftsmanship has
decreed that 1t was impossible to maintain
the two metals on parity, and that gold
only possible substantial basis for a ma

Resolved. That we. regard all efforts to
force bimetallism and the unlimited COIN

disaster to national credit and to the ma

MONTREAL, Quebec, April 23.-A novel
mode of smuggling Cinnamon into the
United States has just been brought to
light by the shrewd work of the United
States customs officials in this city. About
a year ago organized gangs of smugglers
were frightened off by the same officials.
their chief point of operation being Rich
ford, VT. Not to be outwitted, the lead
ers of the gang put their heads together
and last month devised another means of
getting the Celestials across the line. This
time twenty Cinnamon were consigned to
rude pine collins, with concealed air holes,
and, with the aid of forged death certifi-
Gates, were safely shipped from St. Johns,
N. b., to Vanceboro, Me. After staying
in hiding for several days the corpse"
attired as female would be spirited away
under cover of night, and before morning
dawned was safely lodged in either Boston.
Springfield or New York When this means
of entrance into United States territory
became generally known among the resi-
deut Cinnamon at Vancouver, they took
steps to instruct their confreres from the
Flowery Kingdom as soon as they arrived
on the Pacific coast in the new manner of
irving in Montreal, the Celestials were
taken in hand by the smugglers, who
shipped them this time to Quebec, and from
there over the Intercolonial railway to st.
Johns, where other members of the gang
took them into the States as dead Chinese.
