MAGNoLIAs IN FULL BLOOM.
A Related Magnolia on Orange Street
 Covered With Great Blossoms.

A Related Magnolia on Orange Street
 Covered With Great Blossoms,
 The blossoming of a magnolia plant at this season of the year is an ex- tremely rare occurrence, in fact, so very rare that several people are won- dering why it is that large magnolia plant in the yard of Henry c. Rowe on Orange street is covered with flowers in full bloom. Several people have noticed the plant and have asked MT Rowe concerning it.
 MT. Rowe, in explaining the phenom- enon, said that nagnolias usually bloom early in April, but the late frost in that month rather llindered the nat ural development of several plants, so setting back the magnolia that none of the buds blossomed out. Now nature is asserting herself and has pushed out magnolia blossoms, somewhat late, but large and beautiful.

LACK OF FUNDS FOR THE PARKS.

LACK OF FUNDS FOR THE PARKS.
 Other departments of the city gov and so are the park commissioners. Commissioner Henry T. Blake in speak ing of the matter yesterday, said: There is no use of our getting any elaborate plans as long as we have not the requisite money. We are trying every year to do a little here and little there, but it does not amount to very much. A freshet comes along like the one we had the other day and there is a washout that takes about all the money we can scrape together to re- pair the damage done. Oh! if we only had a fund to fall back on yearly we could make our park system a great thing"

NOrtwfck Makes an Individual
Assignment.

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-The financial
situation is much easier here to-day,
and no apprehension is felt as to the
security of any of the large banks.
The announcement that the Bankers
Exchange bank had suspended pay
ment for n few days caused scarcely q
ripple, as the institution is a very
small one, with only $4,000 capital.
There has been a III on the bank
which has taken $4,000 from it in
three weeks. Cashier Field declared
that he had plenty of ready money in
the vault, but preferred to await the
bank examiners advice before making
further payments. The Northern
Trust company, through it's vice pres
ident. George NJ. Maxwell, applied to
the district court this morning for a
receiver. The hearing was postponed
one week. EX-Gov. A. II. MCGill is its
president. 1t suspended payment dur
ing the panic CT 1898, but afterward
resumed business.

WAR CLOUD RISING
SERIOUS TROUBLE is BREWING In
CENTRAL AMERICA.
Oiomb Sends Troops to corn Is
land, Belonging to Nicaragua, to
Seize the Island, and Nicaragua
Sends "a Force tn Oppose Her
There May Have Been n Fight
Other Republics May Take u
Hand.

Copyright, 1897, Associated Press
ManaSua, Mic, jar. with little
beating of drums and blowing OF
trumpets, Il warlike move upon the
part of the republic of Colombia is now
believed to have been checkmated by
the republic of Nicaragua, although
further news from the objective point,
Corn island, is a~nxiously expected
here.
About a month ago the government
of Nicaragua was informed unofficial
ly that Colombia had planned to make
a landing on Corn island, a valuable
strategic point, situated about thirty
six miles off st. Mosquito coast belong
ing to Nicaragua, whose flag was to
be hauled down and the ensign of Co
lOmbia substituted for it. 1t was al
legged that Nicaragua was over-taxing
Corn island and that the inhabitants,
numbering a few hundred, had ap-
pealed to Colombia for redress, on the
ground that territory, some five miles
long. which formerly belonged to Co.
lOmbia, was unla wfully held by Mic
aragua. 1t was further stated that
the project of San Andres, Coloa.,
had assembled a military force and
vas only waiting for the arrival of a
Colon ian gunbOat in order to en-
bark the troops. proceed to Corn isl
and, seize it and fortify it against the
possibility of recapture. That such a
plan was discussed there is no reason
to doubt, but President Ielaya of Mic
aragua took prompt steps to meet this
upon the part of the neighboring
republic. Very quietly detachments Of
Nlcaraguan troops were assembled
here and at Granada, and when all
was ready they were sent in small
parties across Lake Nicaragua and
down the San Juan river to Greytown
and DluefieldS. BY this time the sol
diers of Nicaragua are believed to be
/ n possession of the big and little Corn
islands, for there are two of them, and
the work of erecting a strong fort
should be progressing.
OF course, if the Colombian expedi-
ton started earlier than expected and
reached Corn island before the Mic
araguan troops, fighting may have Oc-
CURED before this, and if so, the mat
ter may lead to a general upheaval in
Central America, for Colombia was
warned, automatically and through
the press early last month, that her
seizure of Corn island might make a
warlike combination Of the republics
Of Salvador and Honduras in support
of Nicaragua against her. Colombia
was also advised if she still main
tanned she had rights over Corn island
to submit them to arbitration Of a dis
interested republic. To these threats
and suggestions apparently no atten-
ton was paid, for it was announced
that the Colombian gunboat was being
fitted up for the transportation of Co.
lombian troops to Corn island. 1t is
hoped here that the Nicaraguan force
reached there in advance of the Co
lombian detachment.
