GENERAL WAR IMMINENT
ALL REPUBLICS OF CENTRAL AMER
ICA MAY BE INVOLVED.
Trouble Between Costa Rica and Mic
Territory May Spread.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The condition
of affairs between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica is beginning to arouse serious appre-
hension in official circles, as it is said to
threaten to involve not only these two coun-.
tries in war. but also to draw all of the
Central American republics into an armed
conflict. The Diet of the greater republic,
including Nicaragua, Honduras and Sal
vador has submitted a demand on Costa
Rica for an explanation of the entrance of
an armed force of 500 men from Costa Rca
into Nicaragua. No reply has been given
so far as is known TO officials here. The
Nicaraguan authorities assert that the 800
armed men entering from Costa Rica were
not an authorized force, but were acting
with the knowledge of the President of
Costa Rica. If Costa Rica gives no ex-
PLANTATION in response to the demand of the
Diet 1T is feared serious trouble will follow
The real controversy between Nicaragua
and Costa Rica is over the territory ad-
jacent to the interoceanic canal A recent
incident has intensified the feeling of the
Costa Ricans over the boundary matter
This was the arrest of Mr.. Bache the Costa
Rican consul general to Nicaragua, on the
charge Of being a rebel He was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to five years imprison-
ment, but subsequently escaped. 1t is not
generally known that Secretary Sherman
intervened in this affair and requested Pres
ident Zelaya, of Nicaragua1-n the interest
of peace to release Bache. resident Ze-
laya promptly assented, and in L decree an
nounced that Bache would be liberated in
accordance with Mr. Sherman's request if
the tribunal convicted him of a revolution
ary movement. Since then Nicaragua has
published the secret cipher dispatches al
legged to have passed between Bache and
the Nicaraguan rebels in Salvador, and
these, Nicaragua claims, fully establish a
charge that Costa Rcas official was work.

Alleged AIibi of the DeFendant-BeIIeE
that Hughes VIII BE Sent to
the Grand Jury.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


CROSS PLAINS, Ind, via Courier TO Os-
good, Feb. 2S.-At the conclusion of argu-
ment in the Hughes lynching case late this
evening Justice Craig announced he would
render his decision tomorrow morning at
o'clock. What it will be cannot be pre-
dicted with any certainty. To the un-
prejudiced spectator it appears that there
is sufficient doubt of Hughes's innocence to
warrant the defendant being bound over to
the grand jury. Attorney General Ketcham
believes the State has made strong case,
There were a number of sensational in
cidents during the afternoon, including
number of Incorporate attacks on the Gov
ernor which will most likely have a reac-
tionary effect and probably exert an in
huence on Justice Craig contrary TO that
intended. In the crowd here were three
of the grand jury which failed to indict
any one. The foreman is a brother-in-law
of the defendant The temper here is sullen.
Hughes was much agitated at times.
There were deep lines on his face as th9
story of the lynching was rehearsed by the
attorney general in his most scathing man
ner. AT another time the defendant was
moved to tears by the pathos of his own at
torney, a boyhood friend, who urged the
justice not to separate him from his wife
and disgrace his innocent children. Justice
Craig shows the great strain under which
he is laboring. A good guess would prob
ably be that the defendant will be sent to
the grand jury, but that is only surmise
based on few days observation of the
old man who opened the final proceeding
with prayer. H. d. McMullen was able to
be here for the argument.

ANOTHER COMBINE.
Manufacturers of Ingram Carpets May
Organize Trust.

BOSTON, Feb. 2S.-The Transcript prints
an interview with Arthur II. Lyman, treas
urer of the Lowell Manufacturing Company,
concerning proposed commission of manu-
facturers of ingram carpets in this country
with view of controlling that market. Mr.
Lyman says: Thomas Bromley, of Phila-
delphia, is earnestly at work on the combi-
nation and has enlisted various Philadelphia
manufacturers in the matter. There are
only two carpet mills in New England MAX
ing ingram carpets, and they both make
other kinds of carpets. The plan has not
been definitely laid before them yet. A
meeting was TO have been held lasl week in
New York. but it was postponed for a time
Until the plan is definitely settled it is not
possible to say whether 1t can be carried out
or not but with the great advance in wool,
higher costs require higher prices, and it
has been felt that there was need Of
a strong combination TO regulate prices and
to do away with wastcful duplication of
expenses and the cutting of prices which is

NO INSPECTION OF MEAT
If JUDGE RODGERs'S OPINION Is UP
HELD BY HIGHER COURT.
He Holds that the Whole System of
Government Supervision Is I'm
constitutional and Void.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-The en-
tire system of government inspection Of
meat which has been established in the
packing houses of the United States was
declared to be unconstitutional ineffective
and void in an opinion handed down in the
United States District Court to-day by
Judge John Rodgers, federal judge at Fort
Smith, Ark, who is sitting for Judge
Philips. An indictment against Harry Boy
er, foreman of the fresh meat department
OF the Jacob Dold Packing Company,
charged with attempting to bribe a gov
ernment meat inspector, was quashed on
the ground that Congress had no power
to create the office of meat inspector; that
even If Boyer had attempted to bribe an
Inspector, as was charged in the indict-
ment, he did not commit an offense against
the government.
Under the decision of Judge Rodgers,
packers may disregard the meat inspectors
without fear of successful prosecution, be-
cause the law by which the inspection was
created has been declared invalid. Boyers
attorneys contended that the carcasses
which were inspected were not subjects of
Interstate commerce and that the
government had no right to impose police
regulations at the packing houses. In his
decision Judge Rodgers says: Narrowed
down, the simple question is whether the
duties alleged in the Indictment which the
inspectors were required. under the rules
and regulations of the secretary of agricul-
ture TO perform, were such duties as be-
Ionged to the State of Missouri or to the
United States"
The powers of Congress are expressly
granted or indicated by direct implication,
the judge said, and he held that the Con-
sutution made no provision for the passage
OF laws creating packing house inspection.
congress regulates commerce with foreign
hations, among the several States and with
'ne Indian tribes, according to the pro-
visions of the Constitution, but Judge Rog-
ers quoted several decisions to show that
uhe killing of beef at packing houses could
not be classed as interstate commerce and
mat Congress had no right to interfere
with matters that should be controlled by
The several States.
John r. Walker, district attorney, in ar
guing the demurrer, held that the system of
PACKING house inspection was created under
lle general welfare clause of the preamble
ot the Constitution. in which the words
provide for the common defense are
used. Justice Story held that this is not
applicable. A similar expression occurs in
section s, Article J. OF the Constitution,

merely to q preceding provision concerning
duties and taxeS

THE DANGER IN SPAIN.
Conservatives and WeyIerites May
Attempt to Overthrow Sagasta.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The State De-
partment to-day received the following dis
patch from Minister Woodford, at Madrid:
Decree dissolving Spanish Cortes Feb. 26.
New Cortes will meet April %"
The dissolution of the Cortes has been ex-
pected, and it may be attended with impor-
tant results. The two parties, Liberal and
Conservative, will now appeal to the coun-
try and on the result will depend the politi-
cal complication of the Ministry. The Sa-
gasta Ministry, now in power, is Liberal
Its retention in power means much at the
present juncture, for it was on the advent
of Sagasta's regime that General Weyler
was recalled, the reconcentrado DEGREES
were annulled and the present form of au-
tonomy put in force. The policy now being
pursued by General Blanco in Cuba is an
entire reversal of that under the Conserva-
tive regime of Canovas and his successor,
and it is felt that the continuance of this
policy is no less at stake than the Ministry
itself in the outcome of the present cleo
tions ~
Senor Du Bose, the Spanish charge a. af-
faires, has not received official notification
of the dissolution of The Cortes, but he says
this was expected, as the work of the pres
ent Cortes was concluded. Under the laws
Oh SpdlA loEty udyS expire before the elec-
ton of the new Cortes occurs Mr. Du
Bose, who is himself a Liberal and warm
supporter of the Sagasta Ministry, says
there is no doubt the result will be the re-
turn of a Liberal majority in the Cortes
and the consequent continuance of the pres
ent Ministry. All parties of late have given
loyal aid to the Liberal Ministry in its pol
icy toward Cuba, and the present time is
regarded by SIR. Du Bose as auspicious for
a calm campaign, which he asserts will
continue the present authorities in power.
He says there is no significance in the dis
solution at this time.
In other quarters 1t is felt that the Con-
servatiyes may take this opportunity to re-
gain the reins OF government by making a
campaign against the Cuban policy of the
Sagasta regime. The Weyler element is an
other growing factor in Spanish affairs, and
it is expected that the WeyIerites either

Chilli and Argentina.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-In diplomatic
circles it is said that the reports that war
is imminent between Chilli and the Argen-
tine Republic are not well founded, and
that, on the contrary arbitration by the
British government has been agreed on as
a means of settlement of differences. The
boundary delimitaton has been source OF
serious difference for some years, and this
has caused much popular agitation and talk
Of war. Sometime ago, however, the coun-
tries agreed to submit the entire boundary
question to the decision of Great Britain.
The assent of the British government was
secured, and the arbitration is now in
course of execution Notwithstanding this
agreement, it is said that considerable
jingo element exists in both countries, but
at the legations of both Chill and Argentine
it is stated that officials attach no seri> is
ness to the war rumors.

army and navy and the martial spirit in
general To a considerable extent the con-
test will be between the war element and
the peace element and as the Liberal pro-
gramme thus far has been most pacific in
character. 1t is anticipated that the Lib
erals will gain the peace vote.
Elections will be held not only in Spain,
but also in Cuba and Porto Rico. This,
however. should not be confounded with
the local elections in Cuba under the plan
of autonomy The present election will be
confined entirely to the choice of delegates
to the imperial Parliament, and will not be
a part Of the autonomous plan for local
government Of Cuba. The latter elections
have not been fixed, and the time for them
will be set by the autonomous Cabinet. 1t
would be no surprise to officials here if
these local elections were announced at any
time in the near future, as it is said the
Cuban autonomists are rapidly maturing
the details of elections and other steps re-
quisite to the execution of the autonomous
plan. In the elections Of April Is Cuba will
select it's usual quota to the Spanish Cortes
under the same system of suffrage that has
long prevailed
The new Cortes will meet Immediately
after election, probably May 1. While no
date has been fixed, It is known in ad-
vance that the new body must assemble i'll
order to pass on the budget, which. by law,
must be completed by July /. This will
give brief time for completing the extens-
i've supply bills within the time prescribed
by Spanish law. With a Liberal majority,
however, this can be readily accomplished.
The probabilities of delay lie in the fact
that a Conservative victory will not only
give that party control Of the Cortes, but
will precipitate another ministerial change,
with its consequent change in policies.

protesting that he is innocent of completely
in the attempt made to assassinate Presi-
dent Moraes last year. He refuses 20 ap-

munity. The general elections will take
place tomorrow. The election of Senors
Composaltos, from Sac Paulo, and Rossos-
silva, from Pernambuco, as President and
Vice President for the term of four years,
beginning in November next, is regarded
as assured. Vice President Pereira, in his
address attacks President Moraes, to whom
he attributes the misfortunes of the repub-
lie. He condemns the state of siege and
adds that all the laws of Congress voted
under the state of siege are invalid.

Bromweli. of Ohio, to-day introduced in the
House the following resolution:

may be threatened, and that for the pur-
pose of consummating such purchase there
is hereby appropriated the sum of $40 900 900,

The resolution was referred to the naval
committee. Mr.. Bromwell said he intro
duced the resolution to call the attention
of the naval committee to the necessity
for providing such contingent fund in the
naval appropriation bill. If the committee
does not include such provision in the bill
when it is reported. he will offer it as an
amendment in the House.
Representative Gibson, of Tennessee, in
troduced a bill appropriating 500 10000 "for
the maintenance of national honor and de-
fense." The bill appropriates the money for
the construction, purchase, repair ana
