The Great Contest.

The next few weeks will wit
ness the close of one of the great
est con tests that this world has
ever seen-a contest of brain
against brain, vote against vote,
theory against theory, policy
against policy. 1t will be a con-
test based upon measures rather
than upon men. But there can
be no contest as to the popularity
of the st. Paul 4 Duluth Rail
road. That is fixed and unchange-
able, for the Duluth Short Line
has always been the fayorite route
between st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater
and other important Northwest
ern points. Its facilities are so
complete, it's equipment so per-
feet, its trains so fast, it's sched-
ules so convenient, that it natur-
ally appeals to the tourist or the
business man and always keeps its
patrons. To go on the Duluth
Short Line, therefore, is to go
with the crowd. Maps, circulars
and general information may be
obtained of ticket agents, or by
writing to w. A. Russell, General
Passenger Agent, St. Paul, Mimi.

such a convenience be highly APP

FRIENDLY RELATIONS RESUMED.
The Costa Rca-Mcarasua Boundary Dis
pute Is Left to Uncle Sam
fOc SeffIomnnf


WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-Another
compliment to the impartiality of the
United States has been paid by the Gov.
ernments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua in
a convention for the demarcation of the
boundary line between those republics,
which has been negotiated through the
mediation of the resident of Salvador.
The first article binds each of the two re-
publlcs TO appoint an engineering COM
mission to mark the boundary in accord
ance with the treaty of 1858, as interpreted
by President Cleveland as arbitrator. and
provides that the President of the United
States shall be requested to appoint an
engineer to accompany the survey, whose
decision shall be final in any dispute that
may arise between the two cooperating
commissions.
As soon as the convention is ratified by
the Legislatures of the countries who shall
share expenses and salary of the American
engineer, the work of marking the line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific is to COM
mence, and be completed within twenty
months. Although the line is fully de-
scribed by President Clev Glands arbitra-
ton, the relations between Costa Rica ana
Nicaragua have for long time been
strained by the failure to agree upon its
exact location at certain points, The. two
Governments, however, now believe they
have found an easy solution of their differ
ences by deferr1ng to the Judgment of an
appointee of the President of the United
States, and friendly relations have been
resumed.
This question, once settled. will have an
important bearing on the proposed Mica
ragua Canal by fixing the undisputed own
ership OF the territory through; which it
must be constructed.

Amendments Made to the Meas.
ure Before Being Put to
a Vote.
HEPBURN IS OPPOSED TO IT.
Declared to Be the Means of Giving
Creditors Another Grip on
All Debtors.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-The
House, after the reading Of the journal,
proceeded, in committee of the whole, to
the final consideration of the bankruptcy
bill. An amendment, proposed by Spald-
ing (R.) of Michigan, was agreed to, strik-
ing out of the bill the clause describing as
an act of bankruptcy the failure of a
debtor to take up, while insolvent, COM
mercial paper to the amount of $500 for a
period of thirty days after date of pay
ment and until petition is filed.
Hepburn (R.) of Iowa made vigorous
attack upon the bill. His first point was
that politically it would be bad thing for
the Republican party for the House to
pass the bill. His second point was di-
rected against the bill itself, which, he
said, was fraud upon it's face and in its
provisions AS matter of fact, Hepburn
said the bill was intended to give the cred
itor another grip upon his debtor, which
he did not have when the debt was con-
tracted-a debt-collecting measure, and
nothing else. The third point was that
there was no general demand for the
passage of the bill.
Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio. responding in
part to Hepburn's remarks, advocated the
passage of the bill as tending to restore
credit, which restoration was essential to
general prosperity.
The consideration of the bill was in
terrupted to permit Hit (R.) of Illinois,
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, to call up and have passed the bill
passed in the Senate yesterday appropri-
ating $4,000 to provide for the fultillment
nf tho cti lott of I1t
the United States and Great Britain, dated
February s, 1896, regarding the settlement
OF the Bering Sea claims. The commits
sion authorized by the bill is to sit at San
Francisco, and its processes to compel the
attendance of witnesses shall be executed
by the Circuit Court for the Ninth Dis
trict.
The discussion on the bankruptcy bill
was continued for an hour or more, Ding
ley {R.) of Maine being the last speaker.
He urged the passage of the bill on the
ground that the country needed and de-
manded a uniform bankrupt law in the
interest of creditor and debtor alike.
An amendment offered by Mahon Or. }
of Pennsylvania was agreed to, 7S to 40,
requiring the creditor TO give bonds to
cover damages and costs occasioned by his
action before beginning proceedings
against debtor to force him into bank
ruptcy.
Broderick's amendment substituting for
the nine causes of involuntary bank
ruptcy three of fraudulent and criminal
nature only was defeated-92 TO 73 So
also was the amendment offered by w. A.
Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania to wipe out
a bar "a 10 foot - H..
bill-102 to 72.
Various efforts were then made to strike
out separate causes of bankruptcy. but all
met with rejection.
At 4 o'clock the bill and amendments
were reported to the House. Bailey CD
of Texas proposed his bill providing for
voluntary bankruptcy only as a sub stitute
for the pending measure. Rejected.
Broderick (R.) of Kansas proposed as a
substitute for what is known as the George

Peacock Feather.
WASHINGTON. D. c., May 2.-Most of
the space devoted to China in the forth
coming volume of Foreign Relations for
1896" part of which was made public to-
day, shows that vigorous measures were
threatened by the United States if China
would not take proper measures for the
investigation of the assault on American
and other missionaries at Chengtu and
Kutien and the punish ment OF the OF
tenders.
Second Assistant Secretary of State
Adee, who was acting Secretary during
the progress of most of the correspond
ence, sent some sharp dispatches on the
subject. When it was reported that Llu,
the Viceroy of SZechuan, who was charged
with instigating the riots, had been ap-
pointed a commissioner to investigate
them, Mr.. Adee wired Minister DENLY:
"Such a choice is highly Objectionable;
his report would not inspire confidence"
and in letter on the subject he told the
Minister, "You can hardly have failed to
have at once demonstrated against the
offensive indecency of appointing such
man."
1t turned out that Liu had. not been Sc
lected. The Chinese Government, how
ever, refused to degrade and punish the
Viceroy and this Government decided to
make an investigation independent of the
British and French com mission. The
Chinese authorities vigorously opposed the
appointment of this com mission, but
finally agreed to allow it to proceed, be-
ginning, however, to put impediments in
the way of sending it to the scene of the
outrages. This caused Secretary Oiney to
wire Mr.. DENLY: "If there is any further
delay or hesitation in complying with our
just demand, report Immediately"
There was no further trouble and the
Chinese Government soon issued decree
depriving Viceroy Liu of office.

SYMPATHY FOR HAMMOND
Mission of the Jewels to the
Capital of the Transvaal
Republic.
Will Present to President Kruger
the Petition for Leniency to
the Engineer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-Senator
White to-day escorted to the White House
and presented to the President Mr.. and
Mrs. Jewell, who are en- route to Johannes
burg, Transvaal, to present the petition
signed by many prominent people of the
United States, asking clemency for John
Hays Hammond.
The President seemed to take an unu-
sual interest in the case. Mrs. jewell s
sympathies were wholly with President
Kruger and the Beers in their conflict
with DR.. Jameson's raiders and the Uit-
landers' demonstra ton. They regard
Mr.. Hammond as victim of circum.
stances. His connection with the uprising
OF the enemies of the Boer Government
they allege, was brought about by Farrar,
Rhodes. Phillips and Leonard. the leaders
OF the Uitlanders. Mr.. Jewell says that
the real objects of the movement were pur
posely Kept secret from Hammond. Mr.
and Mrs. Jewell are warm admirers o.
President Kruger, and say the people o.
this country seem to have very wrong
impression of the character of the Boel
President.
he is not an ignorant ruler Of an igno
rant people in little sympathy with the
spirit OF the times, but, they say, one o.
the foremost statesmen of the day, liberal
patriotic, public-spirited and in keen sym
pathy with every movement looking to the
advancement and elevation of his people
be has proper appreciation OF the dig
nifty OF his office. Mr.. and Mrs. Jewell say
that the Beers never again will submit tc
British encroao hments, and, if necessary
will hight to the last ditch.
Mr.. Jewell came to this country on
private business, but on his arrival he
learned OF the sentence imposed upon his
friend Hammond. and he at once set tc
work to render him, If possible, some as.
sistance. He and Mrs. Jewell sail next
