has rendered the scheme impossible up

AN NJ L. INTERVIEW.


st. Louis, Jan. 2G.-"The fitting out of
the flying squadron was merely to show
Europe that England was prepared to
defend her corner against the Nations.
1 do not think that any one in Great
Britain ever thought the squadron was
placed in action to be used against the
United States"
This was the statement made by Sir
Wheelman Pearson, NJ. T.. from Col
chester, Essex county England at the
Southern hotel today.
Sir Whcelman, who has contracts with
the Mexican government for the con
struction of the harbor ut Vera Cruz, is
en- route to that city, accompanied by
e Lady Pearson.
r"When we first heard of your Monroe
doctrine declaration" he said, I'VE
thought you had gone crazy. You gave
us ~ terrible shock for n few days, for
we thought, from the amount of jingolsm
aroused, that this country would become

recognizes the Monroe doctrine in its
broad sense and is willing to abide by II
on all occasions except this one. This
disputed territory has been claimed by
Great Britain for years and has been
ruled 10y il. A large number of the
iinhnbitants of the place consider them
selves British subjects, and the dispute
is merely over the boundary, surely not

Washington, Jan. 26.--rhe above dis

here. as the demands of the German rail
ways against the government of Ncnczu-

arose in connection with the construc--

line from Caracas to Valencia, at Il
stipulated price. The government of Ven
eZuela was TO guarantee the capitalists
an income of I per cent on investment.
IF the earnings failed to reach that
amount the government was to take up
the balance. Owing TO the rough condi-
ton of the country through which the
line passed the railroad cost several times
what the projectors estimated and there

on which the Venezuela government
agreed to guarantee fixed income, The

FLAWS IN THE CONSTITUTION.


Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 7.-During
the past few days considerable political
excitement and uncaslncSS has developed
in Nicaragua because several citizens
have proclaimed that in their opinion
President Xclaya should declare himself
dictator and eventually call Il convention
of the people to correct some cmbarrass-
ing and conflicting clauses in the national
constitution of 1893. This national con-
stitution provides that n constitutional
convention should not be called until
1903. This opposition has gradually gain
ed adhcrcnts among the persons of intelli-
gence and wealth in Nicaragua, and the
difficulties would probably have been set
tied quietly by respectable and RESPONSE
bic persons, but Jose de Cameo, who
was recently removed from several po-
stions of honor and trust by the man
ayers of the party in power, attempted
to make a noisy demonstration in favor
of the dictatorship. This movement of
Gamez, who was followed by number
of irresponsible citizens, chilled the ardor
of the honest element. Finally all the
members of President Xclaya's cabinet
resigned. These designations the pres
idcnt declined to accept. The municipal
tiles have opened polling places and cit
liens are now voting for or against the
dictatorship.
President Xelaya favors change in
the organic law, but declines to assume
the dictatorship unless majority of the
citizens who enacted and endorsed the
constitution of 1893 declare it to be nee
cssary for. the purpose of allowing them
to make desired changes in the consti-
tuition.

There are 100000 worth of ancient
manuscripts III the -AStor library. but
the oldest OF these, says the New York
World. is the EvangG which
Is sad to have been expressly executed
for Charles the Bald. the grandson of
tharlrma:;ne. He was a pltrCu of the
fine arts. and was especially fond of
cmScll'shcd manuscripts. This rare
and precious manuscript is written on
fine veilum and is an oblong quarto of
400 pages. The first four pages have
splendid full-length miniatures of the
four evangelists, profusely illuminated
with liquid gold and emerald green,
shaded with red and white on an EN-.
purpled ground, the pictures covering
the entire page.
This superb manuscript was secured
some Is years ago by the late Mr.. AS
tor. from the famous London biblio-
phile. Bernard Quartrich. who cata-
logued it in 1880 at $1,000. There are
more costly manuscripts in the Astor
