CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Joseph Letter is
said to have closed contracts for the

bushels cash wheat. Negotiations have
been underway for several days, and
are about closed. The buyers are l..

Pies have been forwarded to the New

to be satisfactory to Letter. Gill &
Fisher, the Baltimore exporters, are
among the largest cash grain handlers
in the world, and stand at the head as
a corn house.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-When
congress reassembles tomorrow the de-
bate in the house will open immediate
ly upon that part OF the pending ap-
preparation bill relating to the civil SER
vice commission. From what can be
learned here tonight there will be sew
eral set speeches. The discussion will
be protracted and may continue into
next week. The chief opponent of the
present system, Gen. Grosvenor, will
not be on hand, but it is intimated
that, owing to his very earnest, out
spoken condemnation of the present
law, he may be allowed to tell his lit
tie story on his return from Ohio. He
will then be in fighting mood, espe-
cially If his friend, Hanna, fails of cleo
ton. Communications which will be
sent to the senate tomorrow by the
cabinet officials will uphold the civil
service law as a system. A majority
Of them will suggest few changes,
which really means that the cabinet
will stand by the president, while on
the other hand Mckinley will do moth
ing about changing the law until con-
gress gets through wrestling with the
subject. 1t is expected that all this

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 4-Pres-
ident Zelaya, in his message to the
NIcaraguan congress, declared that the.
contract of the Atlas Steamship com
pany limited, with the Nicara p11on
government, does not interfere with
the contract between the government
and the Maritime Canal Company of
New York. DR.. Games, the president
of the congress, in the course of his
reply to the presidential message. said
the Nicaraguan canal, when construct
ed, would transform Central America
and lead to its being brought under
the United States flag. This sentiment
Is cordially approved by President
Zelaya and the members of the cabinet.
Diplomatic negotiations have been In
progress, informally, for some time be-
tween the United States and Nicar-
aqua, with respect to the apparent con-
fict between the concession recently
made by the Nicaraguan government
to the Atlas Steamship company and
that made previously to the Maritime
Canal Company of New York. By the
terms of contract between the Nican-
aguan government and the Atlas
Steamship company, the latter, it is
understood receives the exclusive right
of steam navigation for thirty years on
the Silico lagoon, Lake Nicaragua and
the river San Juan del Norte, with the
exclusive right also for the same of
constructing tramways and railroads
along the line and at the best places
to avoid the obstacles in the river San
Juan. The company agrees to make at
least three trips a month with it's
steamers between Grenada and San
Juan del Norte, both ways, and at least
once a month to touch at every inhab-
tied port on the lake. The Atlas Steam
ship company, limited, is an English

the brass on touching tears the

that it mushrooms on striking,
with d similar result.
