Smuggler People Hope to nguish It
hut With Little Show of Success.
Aspen, Colo, Nov. 14.-The fire in
the lower workings of the Smuggler
miIie has gained considerable headway
during the past twenty-fOur hours,
and where the disaster will end is no
nearer solution than when it first
started. The smuggler people, how
ever, claim that the general situation
has greatly improved since yesterday,
and promise to back up this claim by
results within the next twelve hours.
This assertion is based upon the pro
gress made towards reaching the seat
of. the fire, and not upon any actual
advance towards placing the fire itself
under control. Since last night n
force Of twenty-five men have been at
work trying to reach the supposed
burning crib with a steam line. BY
means of n water and air line they
have succeeded III reaching a point
some fifty feet from the big stope on
the seventh level. This, however, is
iabout 100 feet above the fire. and the
steam with which they hoped to
smother the blaze Is not proving as ef-
fective as they anticipated. About the
only results obtained SO far is to drive
the gas down, and through the eighth
level to the shaft.
An attempt will be made to get In
through the eighth level to the fire,
notwithstanding this is most dan
gerOiis undertaking. Steam, water and
air Will be used. and the men employed
in the work will be tied to a long rope
at intervals Of about ten feet, so that
In the event of one man being over
come he can be Immediately dragged
to fresh air by his companions. Should
this scheme be successful it Is thought
the steam can be played directly upon
the fire and smOthered with but little
difficulty. The fire Is gaining remark
able headway, and unless soon checked
the lower workings Of the mine will
become7a veritable furnace.
The gas to-day Is double in volume
that of yesterday. and has already pen
etrated all the properties to the north
for distance of two miles. This
ground Is completely honeycombed,
and the deadly fumes are steadily find

NICARAGUA's CANAL.
THAT COUNTRY IS IMPATIENT.
As Result of This Connsry's Procrastina-
tion tho Littlo Republic Is Trying to
I Get Other Nations to Build the Canal !.

Chicago, Nov. 1G.-The Washington
correspondent of the Record writes as
follows concerning the Nicaragua
canal: F 1'
There is no doubt that the govern
ment Of Nicaragua has been making
overt,ires to Great Britain, France and
Japan, and perhaps to some other coun-
tries, in relation to the Nicaragua ca
< nal, and from its own point of view has
a perfect right to do so regardless OF
the contention of the United States on
the Monroe doctrine. Our government
has forfeited every claim upon Nica-
raglIa for the control of the canal by
its procrastination. We have made
three treaties, and companies composed
of American citizens have Obtained
four. concessions during the last fifty
years, and but one of them has ever
done more than make a survey. IL 1t
We're not for the ogin-the-manger pol
icy of tho sUnHed States. England
would have, built the canal long ago,
but we are not doing anything our
selves. and are not allowing any other
government to undertake. the enter
prise For these reasons Nicaragua
feels justified In making overtures to
other nations with the hope of finding
somebody to dig the canal.
Furthermore tile Nicaragua govern.
ment Is extremely hard up and the
people are very poor. The recent .revo-
luton ruined nearly everybody In the
republic, and the government had to
subsist upon forced loans for several
months. The ordinary revenues have
not been sufficient to pay the ordinary
expenses and sustain the extra military
forces which the. president has been
compelled TO keep under arms to pre-
vent another revolution,
The Associated Press dispatches have
already announced that commission
is on its way to this country for the
purpose of trying to sell the govern
ment transportation system, which con-
sists of about 100 miles Of railway and
a fleet OF small passenger steamers on
Lake Nicaragua. This sacrifice must
be made In order to pay running eN-
penses. for President Ze.aya has eX-
hausted both his funds and his credit.
and hut for a military terrorism that
prevails there would be another revo-
luton Immediately.
Whenever the Nicaragua minister Ia
questioned concerning the efforts of his
government to negotiate with another
power for the construction Of the en-
nal he inquiries how long the United
States expects Nicaragua to wait and
commence tho work OF construction.
The canal bill came nearer becoming
law last winter than at any time in its
history. and there Is n prospect that 1t
may be enacted Mt tie coming session.
There is no difference of opinion on the
nain proposition. but the committees
Of the two houses have never been
able to agree upcn the details. The
peace and prosperity of Nicaragua de-
pend upon that measure. and as long
MS II Is unsettled and the United States,
delays action the-e will be conspiracy,
intrigies and rebellion. HIr
