Government Must Control
Nicaragua Waterway
GREATER REPUBLIC NOT A FACTOR
Administrations Plan of Procedure
Based Solely ON Existing Con-
vention With Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, Aug. NO matter
what the attitude of the Greater Repub-
lie of Central America may be, it is the
intention of the administration to rec
ommend governmental control of the
Nicaragua canal when congress assem-
bles next December. This was made
plain at conference at the state depart
ment participated in by Assistant Secre-
taries Adee and Cridler, Senator Nor
gan, former Senator Miller and Mr..
Merry, the recently appointed minister
to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica,
regarding the complications which have
grown out of the refusal of the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Salvador to re-
ceive Mr.. Merry.
1t is practically decided that Mr..
Merry shall go to Costa Rica, and that
the headquarters of the legation shall
be transferred to that country from
Nicaragua. No steps will be taken to
make the transfer, however, until the
governments of Nicaragua and Salvador
have again been heard from.
The administration believes there is
no necessity of entering even into a new
convention with Nicaragua with view
to securing authority for the construc-
tion of waterway. The program which
will follow will be based on the provis-
ions of the convention now in force, as
well as the concession which was granted
to an American company by the Mica
raguan government for the construction
of the canal. This concession will not
expire for three years.
Acting in accordance with instructions
of the state department, Minister Baker
is watching every move of the oppo-
nents of the canal in Nicaragua and re-
porting to the state department, so that
in case of necessity prompt action may
be taken by the authorities.
The Walker commission, which has
been holding meetings at the state de-
partment, will make a preliminary re-
port to congress at the beginning of the
session, setting forth its estimate.
Should this report show that the cost
will not be greater than 100000, 900 the
president Will probably have something
to say in his first annual message in re-
gard to the advisability of the passage of
a bill by congress guaranteeing the con-
struction of the canal under govern
mental control.

A Strike at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 4.-Two hundred
women and girls employed at the Fulton
Bag & Cotton Mills, in this city, struck
this morning because of the employment
of negro help by the management.
The operatives learned yesterday that
25 colored women were to be put to work
in the folding department today. This
morning the white women asked Presi-
dent Elsas whether it was true that he
proposed to put negroes to work with
them. He said he did, and the white
women refused to go to work.
At noon the 400 men employed in the
mills walked out in obedience to the
orders of the Textile Workers Union,
and in sympathy with the striking fe-
male operatives. This forced the clos.
ing down of the factory. Eight hun
dred men, women and children are
affected by the strike.

What use is there in eating when food
does you no good-in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such Is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have loathing for food there
is no use of forcing 1t down, for it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it re-

MATTER OF A SINGLE WORD.
An Alleged Blunder in the Alaska
Boundary Treaty


Boundary Treaty.
OTTAWA. Aug. 4.-R. W. Scott, secre.
tary of state, was interviewed regarding
the statement from Washington claim
ing that Great Britain on the official
maps had drawn the boundary me on
the Pacific coast so as to deprive the
United States of hundreds of miles OF
territory adjoining the Clondyke gold
fields. He said he had gone into the
question with member of the Mac
kenzie administration in 1878, and the
point now raised was discussed
then.
''The treaty of st. Petersburg of 1925, -
said he, "defines the line dividing Rus
sian territory, now Alaska, from British
by line drawn north from the foot of
Prince of Wales island Though Portland
channel until it struck the mountains,
when the method of delimination was
set forth. The map will show that a
line running north from the foot of
Prince of Wales island must go through
the Behm canal, and that to reach Port
land canal the line would have to go
east through the open sea considerable
distance before it could reach Portland
channel or canal.
''The British contention as shown by
the dispatches of George Canning to Sir
Charles Bagot, when British ambassador
to St. Petersburg, is that Portland was
to be in British territory and the words
Portland canal in the convention was a
mistake for Benin canal or else what is
now called Portland canal was not then
so called. This supported by the
physical cal'impossibility of running a line
due north through Portland canal from
the foot of Prince of Wales island, so
that Canadian maps show the boundary
line as running north through the Benin
canal.
"The difference is great in view of the
discoveries of gold, and it can only be
settled by international arbitration.
The disputed territory with the ten ma
rine leagues back from the coast added
could not, however, embrace the present
gold fields of the Clondyke, which are
clearly in British territory, because they
are well east of the 141st meridian, which
is the recognized boundary to the
north"

and ran into a house. Men pounded
the brutes on the head with clubs and

The mourners and people on the
streets were panic. stricken, and several

then made a rush on the animals and
they were finally driven away. The
mourners re-entered their carriages and
