We are the people for the people. The fact
will never be better illustrated than on the
advent of the opening of our new grocery

more profuse than ever. The low prices and
the splendid qualities which we will offer

bargains should be hailed with delight. Our
low prices are equally fascinating as our
brilliant and complete stock Of fancy and
staple groceries. Fresh butter and eggs re-

Letter of Minister of Greater
Central America.
The Cause-1wo Othey Sensation al
Incidents Yesterday.

Washington. Jan. 23.-The session OF
the senate yesterday developed three
distinct sensations. Most important OF
these was the presentation by Mr.. Sher-
man of letter from Minister Rodriguez,
the representative Of the greater republic
OF Central America Qncluding Nicar-
agua), In effect, protesting against the
execution OF the Nicaraguan canal prof.
ect by the United States, under the con-
cession granted Ia 1857 to the NicaraguaH
Canal company. The debate was very
earnest, and the letter made profound
impression on the senators.
Earlier in the day the senate unexpect-
ediy found itself discussing the new An
sio-American treaty. While the treaty
itself has been released, all discussion of
IL Is restricted to executive sessions.
Notwithstanding this rule, the express
sions were free and full from Messrs
Sherman. Gray Cullom, Lodge, Hoar
and others. The statements of these SEN
ators were uniformly favorable to the
high principal OF the treaty, the only
qualification being that il should re-
ceive mature and dispassionate consid-
grafton. Shortly after the session began,
Mr. Turpie caused a preliminary furry
by criticising the reported agreement
between Mr.. Olney and Mr.. Sherman.
by which no action was to be taken as
to Cuba before March 4. Mr.. Sherman
emphatically denied that any such
agreement had been made. and added
that he had not had word with Mr.. Oh
ney in that direction. Mr.. Turpie gave
notice OF speech on the Cameron Cuban
resolution on Monday. These three in
cidents relating to current foreign ques-
tions made the days session one OF the
most eventful in years.

Sherman created quite a sensation by
| presenting and having read a commune
cation from the minister of the Greater
| Republic OF Central America TO the Sec
retary or state, which had been trans
mttted by Secretary Olney. The conmu-
nication criticised the pending Nlcsra-
qua canal bill In various particulars,
and pointed out certain objections which

AS soon as the communication had
been read Morgan took the floor. He
said the communication had come before
the senate in proper form, because IL
came through the state department; but
the senate had no knowledge who the
siyner was; did not even know officially
Of the existence Of the great republic
of Central America" Rodriguez is the
accredited representative here OF that
republic" interrupted Mr.. Sherman.

he has been received by the diplomatic
corps. but this is our first knowledge
that such a government exists. The
