NTCARAGU1N CANAL SCHEME. New York Men Said to be Behind the
 Project.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Lyman F. Cooley is authority for the statement that the capitalists behind Edward F. Cragin and Frank S. Washburn in their effort to secure an option on concession from the Nicaraguan government to construct an inter-oceanic canal, are not from Chicago, but from New York. According to the best information, MT. Cooley has on the subject, William R. Grace and son and Charles E. Flint of New York are behind the scheme with MT. Cragin. Mr. Cooley says that if the United States government takes ac- tion this winter the option will have no effect, but if congress fails to act, Grace and his associates will come in as residuary legatees next October if satisfactory arrangements can be made with the old company.

PARIS PEACE COMMISSION
RUMOR THAT SENATOR GRAY IS TO
 RESIGN, UNTO UNDED.

The Spanish connmission Also Denies
 the Report That It Win Retire-The
 Views May Have Existed or Shall Ex-
 tst, Will Array Themselves Firmly
 Behind and In Support of the Pre-
 ponderating Opinion Held Among
 Them.
 Paris, Oct. 2S.-Each member of the American peace commission has separ- ately formulated his views regarding the Philippines in his own terms, and all have been forwarded to Washington. The transmission has been by mail and cable. The Americans are expected to present an expression of their expecta- tions as to the control, disposition and government of the Philippines at next Mondays joint session, and they will look for final counsel from Washington on the subject tomorrow. A report rom Madrid via New YorK neWSpa- per reached here tonight (Friday) to the effect that the Spanish peace con- missioners will retire protesting from Paris, because the Americans disregard the Spanish propositions. The corre- spondent of the Associated Press sub mitted the report promptly to a member of the Spanish commission, who declar- ed it stuff" and authorizes a denial. There appears to be no ground for the rumor that Senator Gray of the Ameri- can commission is to resign. Whether or not there is a difference of opinion in the commission, it is said that the commissioners will stand as a unit be- fore the Spaniards. Whatever differ ences of views may have existed or shall exist, the entire commission will array itself firmly behind and in sup port of the preponderating opinion therein. This statement may at this hour be accepted as quelling any rumor that resignation might follow any mem ber's variance of opinion from that of his American colleagues.

 of Camp Thomas.


 chsttanooga, Tenn, Oct. 2S.-The war investigation commission spent the en- tire day inspecting the site of Camp Thomas in Chickamauga park, under the guidance of General Boynton, Gen. eral A. P. Stewart, member of the Chickamauga Park commission and E. E. Betts. the engineer of the commits sion. The inspection covered all points of interest in the park and near its borders which have been involved in the controversy concerning the sanitation of the camp, including Sternberg and and Letter hospitals, the various springs from which water was secured by the troops, and the point on Chickamausa creek at which the water of the pipe line supply was taken out. Special at fention was given to this latter place because of the criticisms that have been made upon this source of the camps water supply. The commits sioners found the intake pipe sub merged about twenty feet above the mouth of a tributary creek, known as Cave Spring creek, which drained the camp. The charge had been made that

Paris, Oct 2S-To-day's proceedings at the court of Cessation were devoid of sensation. The only emotion caused ensued upon the reading of pathetic letters from Dreyfus. A significant point was the revelation of the fact that General DeBoisdeffre gave orders after the Dreyfus case was supposed to be closed, for the dozer, containing the Bordereau to be burned and expressed surprise afterward to find that his or
 ders had not been executed. Thus far the war office has not been represented in the opposite proceedings and there Is still but little hope of the secret dozier being produced, especially if-as however looks somewhat doubtful, M. Dupuy succeeds in forming a cabinet.

LEES MUST GIVE
 UP HAYNES' GOLD
JUDGMENT AGAINST THE RE.
 SPANGLED CHIEF.
Judge Hunt Decides That Man Can- not Take and Keep That Which
 Is Not His.

If the heart of Chief Lees broke yester- day when he was ordered to give up the coin he took from the home of the mur- derer Haynes, the slayer of Lieutenant Burke, the report of the fracture was not great-perhaps about in keeping with the size of that organ, which so many are of the opinion does not exist.
 That 1t broke, however, Is a 16 to bet for the reason that he had to give LIT the money.
 But the childish old man will have to give 1t up, nevertheless, even though the damage to his whitening anatomy ex- tend beyond the region of his heart. a region that occupies but a small portion Of the cavity beneath his ribs, and in- flame beyond relief the region in his head wherein dwells his appetite for gold Judge Hunt filed his opinion and held that the bespangled Chief could not le- abode of Haynes.
 When the murderer went to trial he was defended by Attorneys J. N. E. Will son and Edward Sweeney When judg- ment was pronounced and Haynes was condemned to spend his life In prison the aged murderer repudiated his counsel and refused to pay them. In consequence Wilson and Sweeney attached the money They bumped up against Lees greed however He held the gold and would not surrender it. So suit was brought to recover 1t.
 The case was submitted and yesterday 1t was decided that the attachment was legal and Lees must surrender He may take the case to the Supreme Court, but if he does 1t will avail him not The gold to Lees is gone forever

CALL FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
 CONVENTIONS
The State Committed Bids for the Support of Party
 Voters.

The Democratic State Central Com mittee, through Chairman Afford, has issued formal call for a State con- vention, and in it has set forth some of the principles upon which it will base a claim for the support of the voters of the State. The text of the call Is as follows:
 CALL FOR DEMOCRATIC STATE AND
 DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.
 The Democratic State Committee of the State of California. representing the cal party which at the last general cleo tion held in the State of California boiled more than 3 per cent of the entire vote of the State, by virtue of the authority vested in said committed, hereby issues the following call for State and district conventions:
 l. A State Convention of the Democratic party of the State of California is hereby called to meet at the city of Sacramento, county of Sacramento, State of Califor-- o'clock D. m. of that day, to nominate candidates for State offices, to be voted for at the general election to be held in the State of California on the Sth day of November, 1898; to select a new. State com mittee and to transact such other buSi- ness as may be brought before said con- vention.
 2. The apportionment of delegates to said convention shall be one delegate at large for each county and one delegate for each 200 votes or a majority, fraction thereof, cast In each county for J. w. Martin, who as the Democratic nominee for Presidential Elector received the highest number of votes cast for any nominee of the Democratic party for Presidential Elector in the State of Cali fornia in the election of 1S96
 B. The delegates chosen as delegates to the State Convention shall also be dele gates to the district conventions of their respective districts for the. purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of members of Congress, Railroad Commis- sioners and members of the State Board Congressional committees for each of the Congressional Districts of this State and properly come before said State and dis trict conventions.
 The district conventions above referred to are hereby called to meet at the same time and place as the Democratic State Convention
 The representation to the State and district conventions upon the basis here in set forth is hereby declared to be as Coll

The Democratic State Committee directs mat the delegates to said State and Dis manner as the various county commit tees shall determine to be expedient pro- vided that, the. holding. of primary cleo recommended wherever it may be practi- cable to hold said elections.
 II the right of any person applying to vote at such primary election shall be challenged he shall be permitted to vote only after he shall have made the follow ing statement to the officers in charge of | said primary election:
 II am Democrat and l will support the nominees of the Democratic party at the election to be held on the Sth day of November, 1S9S.'
 The Democratic State Committee fur ther directs that in counties where dele | gates to said State and District conven- tions have been selected at the date of shall be and they are hereby recognized | as the delegates from said counties to said State and District conventions.
 The county conventions of the respec- lect their county committees at the time of holding their convention, and to for tee, together with the postofice address of each, to the secretary of the Demo- cratic State Committee.
 The Democratic State Committee fur ther directs that duplicate copies of the credentials of all delegates (which shall contain the postoffice address of each of said delegateS) selected for the State and District conventions must be certified to by the chairman and secretary of the re- spective county conventions or commit tees, and one copy thereof forwarded to Ben M. Maddox, secretary of the Demo- cratic State Committee, at the California Hotel San Francisco, Cal, at least five days prior to the meeting of said State convention.
 Tn issuing this call the Democratic State Committee relying upon the opeh record of the Democratic party in both the nation and the State, appeals with confidence to the voters of California. We glory in the fact that our present conflict at arms with Spain is the result of the efforts of the Democratic minor ity in both houses of Congress. Though conscious of the fact that their political opponents would conduct the war, they sank party considerations and stood the unselfish champions of liberty and hu-
 In conducting the war the President has had and will have until its close the constant support of the Democratic mem bers of Congress and the Democratic soldiers and sailors. We rejoice that the

unification of our country and the oblit- eration. of sectional feeling. have In the lace of foreign menace been demon strated to be accomplished facts. Hap oily there Is no war issue before us in this election. AS Americans we are proud to feel that all parties are support Ing the Government with a loyalty and enthusiasm that prove to the world the undivided patriotism of our people and their impregnable devotion to the Union. Nevertheless, glory, in the ,achievements of our gallant soldiers and sailors and the heroic passions that foreign wars very properly engender must not be al- problems which so nearly concern the material welfare and political advance ment of our commonwealth.
 Economy in the administration of State affairs is to the people the most vital of issues. The nominees of the Demo- cratic State Convention will be suffi- redeemed.
 Our opponents falsely claim that the Southern Pacific Company. which owns and directs their political organization. is out of politics. It Is the mission and duty of the Democratic party of Cali fornia to continue it's unswerving oppo- sition to the unjust charges of that cor poration, to its corrupting influences in the halls of legislation and the courts of justice, to Its dishonest efforts to escape its just obligations to the National Gov the. perpetuation of its monopolistic dom ination over the industries of California.
 Our canulQaleS must perSOnify these principles. They must stand for the Jih erty of industry in all its branches and the emancipation of the State from the grasp of corporations, whose confeder- ated wealth threatens not only to absorb the substance of the people, but even to annihilate their liberties. In this view our slogan must be fair treatment for our producers and merchants from the rail- road companies within the State, and close and cheap connection with inc rest of our country and the world bv the early construction of the Nicaragua canal under Governmental ownership and oper- ation. ope-
 With full confidence in the principles of the Democratic party as promulgated by Thomas Jefferson and as enunclated in the Democratic national platform of 1896, we urge united Democracy to active and earnest effort in the discharge of their party obligations to the end that the problems of State importance as well as the great national and international questions necessarily consequent upon the war with Spain may be solved in the in terest of the masses of the people and the perpetuation of American principles of liberty, equality and self-government

Correspondence.
Organize a Gun Club.

ELLSWORTH, Sept. 70.
To the Editor of The american;
Ishould like to say, through the col
umns of THE AMERICAN, that there are a
few men in Ellsworth interested in form
ing new gun club, or in reviving the
defunct spirit of that organization which
existed here few years ago.
think they would be ready to take
hold and help organize one; and there are
others who would be willing to join, il
such a club could be run successfully. By
successfully, mean an organization that
could meet and pay all of its bills, and
one in which the members would take a
lively interest, pay their dues and the
incidental expenses of an afternoon IS
meeting at the traps.
As understand 1t, the chief difficulty
to be overcome is the reduction of ex-
pense at a shoot. The ordinary sports
to spend an afternoon shooting at clay
pigeons il it is going to cost him from 50
to s., and do it every week, as, of course,
he would like to, II it was inexpensive.
Now / think the expenses could be
amply met by charging the shooter a
trifle more than the cost OF the birds, be-
cause that is the principal item. In this
way the cost of an afternoons shoot
would be brought to q minimum, and, l
should think, would not exceed y at the
most. IL q man won one or two sweep
stakes, Of course his expenses would be
even less.
Think a gun club could be formed here
and made success. Let some one inter-
ested in the matter write to The AMERI-
CAN, or, better still, appoint place Of
meeting where we could all get toget her
do no harm and might result favorably.
