A STATE OF SLAVERY.

Result of Selling Labor in Nicaragua
Panama. Feb. 12.-The Panam Star
and Herald says:
Nicaraguan advices are to the effect
that a terrible state of affairs prevails
there in the labor market and the
system of selling labor has resulted in
reducing verv large numbers of men,
women and children to a state of
slavery. Men and women are endeav-
oring, by every possible means. except
armed revolution, to escape from the
sale of their labor authorized by the
constitution of Nicaragua, and en-
forced as vigorously as possible by
military power unit. the money for
goods advanced to them thereon and
heavy fines for delinquency have been
paid in full by labor at low rates.
Owners of coffee estates recently held
a meeting with the object Of influence
ing the government of Nicaragua to
establish in Cuba a labor establish
ment to induce Cuban laborers to mi
crate to Nicaragua

FIRST LICENSE ISSUED.
Dan Stuart the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lions Being Made.


Carson, New, Feb 12-The first IL
cense to be granted under the new law
regulating glove contests will be IS
sued to Dan Stuart tomorrow. The docu-
ment will be photographed by the
newspaper artists now in the city, and
afterwards framed for exhibition. The
number of contests to be held under
the license is not specified, and it is
presumed that the holder may embody
as many events as he desires in the
carnival of sport which he is per-
mitted to hold.
Stuart is losing no time in the con-
Struction of his pavilion. A large num-
Der of carpenters were engaged today,
and a quantity of lumber selected Tor
the framework of the amphitheatre.
The Texan also offered prominent
business man $1,000 for a lot on Main
street on which he proposed to erect
a first class hotel, but the offer was
declined. Real estate agents report
that the value of property is rapidly
advancing. Not a building in the city
can be rented today at any price
Work was begun on CorbettS gym
nasium and handban court at Shaw's
Springs this afternoon. Both will be
ready for use on Wednesday next, and
on the day following the champion
will be comfortably installed. His last
public appearance before the fight Will
be in this city in the evening of the
18th inst, when he will spar with Nc
VeE.
1t is all but settled that Fitzsimmons
will train at Steamboat Springs, al
though no preparations are being made
for his reception. In the matter or
training quarters the Cornishman will
not fare nearly Sc well as the Califor-
MAN.
Superintendent Jaynes, of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, arrived
this morning with a corps of operators
He Immediately leased a large build
ing suitable for the accommodation of
his staff and their apparatus. To the
members of the press, Mr.. Jaynes an
nounced that his company would have
eight wires in operation between Car
son and the outside world as quickly
as men and money could construct
them. This was gratifying news TO the
numerous correspondents already on
the ground who are even now crowding
the present facilities. 1t is Mr.. Jayne's
purpose to install force II more than
20 expert operators at Carson before
and during the week of the carnival.
Reporters will be provided with desk
room in the telegraph office, II neces-
Sary, and no expense viii be spared TO
render the service thoroughly first
class.
A mass meeting of the citizens was
held tonight for the purpose of devisins
means to accommodate the immense
rush of visitors. Every spare room in
town will be placed at the disposal OF
q committee selected to look after the
wants OF the late arrivals, and it is
confidently hoped that nobody will be
compelled to walk the streets owing to
lack of accommodation
1t was rumored tonight that "Mys-
terious'' Billy Smith was among the
arrivals on late train and that he
was looking for a match. If such was
the case, the mysterious" gentleman
evidently dematerialized himself, for he
could not be located by any of the
sporting writers up to a late hour.

The Most Valuable Spots on Earth.

Probably the most valuable spots on
the face of the earth Gas the burial
sites in Westminster Abbey cannot
be bought with gold are the four cor
ners where Wall street touches Broad,
and the two where it meets Broadway.
l cannot guess how large a price any
one of those might bring in the mar
ket now; but a million dollars and half
a million more were recently paid for
five lots on Broadway opposite Bowl
ing Green. This was the value OF the
land alone, as the old buildings it bore
were at once to be torn down; vet,
says Philip Hone, a lot in just this
place in 1929 sold for only $4,000. AS
late as 1870 lots on Cortlandt street
could be had for $1,000, or even for 500.
But year or two ago the corner OF
Liberty street and Nassau. measuring
10 feet along the one, 1l2 along the
other and about 100 feet in depth.

LIS SECRETARY.
He Says the Dusky Queen is Still the
Lawful Ruler

Washington. Feb. 12.-Mr. julius A.
Palmer. the private secretary to Liluo-
kalani, ex-queen OF the Hawaiian
islands, in semi-official utterance, says
that the ex-queen did not abdicate her
throne: that whatever she did was
done under duress; and that the name
signed to the documents of abdication
was not her official signature.
In the circumstances Mr.. Palmer as
serts that her action had no legal
force whatever, and could not be sus-
tanned in any court of equity in Chris
tendon He continues:
Il will be palmer If you wish. Do 1
mean that the queen of Hawaii has
never given a legal abdication; that she
is still the lawful ruler, even if she
forbears tc enforce her legitimate
rights?
81 do mean exactly that"

ANTI-FUsIoN.
Important Bill introduced In the
Iowa Legislature.

Des Moines. Ia, Feb. 12.-The senate
today passed an act, in the process of
code revision, which is expected to
make fusion of political parties practi-
cally impossible in the future. 1t has
been favorably reported in the house,
so there is little doubt it will become
law. 1t is a provision that no candi-
dates name shall be printed twice on
the same Australian ballot. Last fall
the names of the same candidates ap-
peared on as high as five tickets on
the Iowa ballot; the Democratic nomi-
nations being endorsed by all other
parties except the Republicans. The
Populists have declared they will not
fuse if they must give up their party
distinction and name. as they would
have to do under this law, and the
silverites generally regard it as q
severe blow at their triple alliance of
Democrats, Populists and silver Re-
publicans. If all parties vote for the
same candidates on one ticket, the
other parties aside from that under
whose name the ticket is printed go
out of official existence. as the law re-
quires that a party cannot have its
tickets on the ballot unless il shall
have polled 20 per cent of the vote at
the previous election. The Populists
on this account will decline to fuse.

Because of its power of strengthening
and restoring the nerves and brain
Paine's celery compound is used today
in many such families as that of Mr..
Murphy where no other remedy would
be thought of for a moment.
Mr.. Murphy writes to The Boston
GlObe:-'Paine' celery compound has
been used in my family with good eff
feet. 1t is a splendid remedy"
The discoverer of this most success
full of remedies was no mere theorist.

road about 500 yards from the enemy's

along one side of the road in single
rank, and at given signal the men
took off the rails, lifted up the road,
and turned il upside down. Then,
breaking the rails loose, they used them
as levers in prying off the crossties,
which they piled up at different points,
laid the rails across them and SET fire

came sufficiently hot they bent in the
middle by their own weight; efforts
we're then made to twist them so as to
render them still more unserviceable.
