NICARAGUA CANAL.
United States Has Not Protested
Against Action of Republic.
Cavalry.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit is said at
the State Department that our Gov
ernment has not protested against the
reported action of the Nicaraguan Gov
ernment III granting a concession for
the construction of the Nicaraguan
Canal to Eyre & Cragn after the ex-
piration Of the Maritime Company's
concession next October.
What the department has done is not
of recent date, and consists solely OF
the making of representations to the
Nicaraguan authorities TO the effect
that the United States deemed only
fair and proper that the status
QUO should be maintained in matters
relating to the Nicaraguan Canal until
the board headed by Admiral Walker
has a chance to report, and Congress an
opportunity to consider that report
This is, dramatically, something very
different from a protest.
The reason that this action is taken
is that the making of a new concession
by the Nicaraguan Government, even
though it would take effect only upon
the expiration of the present conces-
sion to the Maritime Canal Company
might operate to prevent the latter
from obtaining an extension Of it's con-
cession. to which it might be justly
entitled.
In the event that Congress should
leglslate upon the basis of a construc-
ton of the work under the auspices of
the Maritime Company, this, of course,
would seriously jeopardiZe the interests
OF the United States.

pie. Hawaii and Porto Rico have been
added to the Nations domain, and we
have become sponsor for the good gov
ernment of Cuba. We must assume
some responsibility in the Far East,
whether it be greater or less. In my
opinion the responsibilities in the Far
East are bound to be greater. Many
wise and patriotic men in the country
believe we should retain no territory
nor control any part of the Philippines
beyond a coaling station, or possibly
a single island. / recognize the CO.
gency of their argument, but have
failed to see clearly any practical way
of carrying out their views. If any
jurisdiction is assumed in the East
there is no logical stopping place short
of the whole of the Philippines. To
establish a divided sovereignty would
invite trouble. Since that May morn
ing when the Spanish fleet was de-
'stroyed it has seemed to me practically
settled that Spain must surrender her
entire control of the Philippines. You

PRIVATEERING.
Request for an International Con-
vention to Consider It.

WASHINGTON, Nov "a memorial
prepared by Charles Henry Butler and
others has been presented to the Pres
ident asking that this Government call
an international convention to consid-
er the question of making private prop
erty free from capture on the high seas
in time of war. The memorial pays a
tribute to the Administration on the
humane and speedily successful prose-
cution of the recent war, and points
out that this Government is in the best
position Of any Power at present TO
take the initiative in such a humane
movement, without laying itself open
to the imputation of selfishness.
The memorial gives an interesting
resume of this country's advocacy of
free ships and free foods, and quotes
the famous Paris Convention. which it
will be remembered is as follows:
First-Privateering is and remains
abolished.
SecondIThe neutral law covers the
enemy's goods, with the exception of
contraba of war.
Third-Neutral goods, except contra
band of war, are not liable to capture
under an enemy's flag.
uIlE-oIOthttutS 10 must
be effective-that is to say, maintained
by force really sufficient to prevent
access to the enemy's coast.
The memorial urges that internation-
al law should be amended not only to
include ell the above. but to except all
private property from capture except
eontraband of war. 1t is pointed out
that the present threatening aspect Of
European politics would make this
move by the United States particularly
acceptable to the remainder of the
world at this time and besides saving
untold loss and suffering by innocent
-combatants of a general war.
would stand forever as another of
many strong claims that this country
holds upon the gratitude of the civil
lied world.

FINAL BREACH NOT EXPECTED.
Washington Officials Do Not Cred
it European Papers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. By way of
preparation for what may happen at
the meeting of the Peace Commission
crs in Paris tomorrow, it may be said
that the officials here have no idea that
the Spanish reply will be an uncondi-
tional acceptance of our last PROPOSE
ton relating to the acquisition of the
h1llppines. On the other hand, they
do not expect an unequivocal rejection
What is likely to occur is that the
Spanish Commissioners will come in
with a counter proposition, the basis OF
which will probably be a considerable
increase in the sum of money to be
paid to the Spanish Government for the
Philippines. This will open the way
to negotiations on that subject, and
inasmuch as the Spaniards spent about
six weeks considering the sections of
the protocol dealing with Cuba and
Porto Rico, it is reasonable TO believe
that at least few days may be prop
erly allowed for the discussion of the
Philippines. In short, it may be said
that the officials here do not expect
final breach of relations between the
Commissioners to occur Tomorrow
notwithstanding the comments Of un-
friendly European newspapers in that

evidence from the volumes of testi-
mony taken in the three months of con-
tinuous trial. The decision was deliy-
cred orally in open court.
This action was brought on the Both
Of September, 1897. A great sensation
was created by. its initiation into the
courts, because of the allegations of
the sister implied, if not stated, in the
complaint.
Mrs. Harris claimed that she was
allured to this coast by Judge. Ames: /:
that Immediately upon her arrival the
defendant took entire control of her
affairs, and by keeping her in ig-
norance of her deals, gradually took
to his own use her whole fortune. A
Breach of domestic affairs was soon
followed by the suit.
Judge Ogden went into details on all
points, and concluded with giving
judgment to the plaintiff. He, how
ever, did not hold Judge Ames guilty
of converting property to his own use,
nor of fraud He believed that Mrs.
Harris came to this region of her own
free will, without any enticement on
behalf of her brother.

I say that if the capitalists of the
world could see with their own eyes
the operations now going on there, they
would be glad to toss into the laps OF
the officials of this one company $40
100000 for it's holdings alone.
Nov, the question arises, How are
these statements to be reconciled with
the hard luck tales brought out of the
Yukon by the men who have brought
with them only a few thousand dol
lars in dust and nuggets? Whether it
is believed or not, the simple truth is
this: Scores of men who have gone to
that country don't know pay dirt when
they see it. They are farmers and
greenhorns, and cannot set sluice box
or make a rifle to save their lives. A
sluice box must have a certain pitch,

The Transport Pennsylvania Sails

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 3-The
transport Pennsylvania, with the Fifty

regiment numbers 1,02S officers and
men, and the transport is in charge Of
Colonel Loper. Since the Iowans came

ment by over 800 men.
One lady went on the transport, Mrs.

eral hospital stewards, with two act

the surplus of room on the City of Pue-
bla, that her assignment may be in
creased by the addition of the Wyem-
ing Battery, which has only about nine
ty men. and is assigned to the New
