A NEW REPUBLIC.
United States of Central America is
Taking Form.
(correspondenee Aggoeiated Pregg.)

Correspondence Associated Press.)
Managua, Nicaragua, July 26.-The
delegates to the convention to form a
constitution for the states of Salvador,
Honduras and Nicaragua, continue
their sessions here almost daily. The
work, however,is progressing slowly. The
delegates have discussed the first eleven
of the articles in the printed form of
constitution which they have as a
guide and have decided on the follow
ing principal features:
First-The organization is to be a
confederacy, instead of a central union
of the three states.
SecOnd-The name of the confedera-
ton is to be the United States of Cen
trail America
Third-There is to be a federal dis
trict composed of the civil depart
ments of Chinendega, in Nicaragua;
ChOluteca, in Honduras, and La Union
in Salvador, all bordering on the gulf
of FOnseca.
Fourth-The organizing capital is to
partment of ChOluteca, Honduras. The
permanent capital is to be determined
by the first congress and will be located
at Amalpa, ChOluteca or Chinandega.
Fifth-There is to be one president,
instead of a triple-headed tribune, as
at first proposed.
In a recent session, delegates from
Salvador protested against what they
termed "A spirit of antagonism to Sal
vador'' in some instances by delegates
from Nicaragua.
1t is thought probable that either
President Bonilla of Honduras or Pres
ident Zelaya of Nicaragua will be cho-
sen as the first president of the pro-
posed cOnfederacy.

GERMANs REJECT HANS.
Chicago Packing Company Shipment
Held at Baltimore

Baltimore. Aug. 15.-The Anglo-Amer-
lean Packing company of Chicago is
having trouble here with the govern
ment over twenty-six boxes containing
5000 pounds of ham, which it had
shipped to Germany. The ham, which
had been sent from Chicago to Balti-
more and from here to Germany, was
returned on the ground of being faint
ed. The Baltimore agent of the COM
pany refused to have the cargo entered
unless he was first permitted to inspect
it This Collector of the Port Stone re-
fused to allow to allow. The collector
then had two experts inspect the meat.
One was a member of the government
agricultural bureau. They reported the
meat tainted, but one Of the experts
said that the trouble might be with
the brine only, and the meet itself might
be good, part of it, at least, might be
saved. Then Collecor Stone proposed
that II the company would enter the
meat and remove the steamship COM
pany's lien he would agree to submit
the matter to the health commissioners
or Baltimore. To this the cOmpany's
agent agreed. The experts again de-
cIared the meat tainted. The agent de-
INJURED, and it was finally agreed to
submit the meat to a bacteriologist.
Here the matter now rests.

SWALLOWS A BOGUS BOND.
John Rogers Seeks to Conceal Evil
dence of His Guilt

Chicago, Aug. 15.-John Rogers swaI-
lowed a bogus $500 bond to hide the ev-
idence of an alleged confidence game.
H. A. CrowI, farmer from Galva, Ill,
was coming to Chicago on a Burlington
train when Rogers met him. The suave
manners of Rogers gained the old
mans confidence. Rogers finally pro-
duced the bond. He did not have time
to go into town and secure the money
from a bank and asked Mr.. CrowI if
he would advance a small amount, say
S25. The farmer only had S16 Rogers
said that would be enough and that he.
CrOwl, could pay him the rest of the
money when they met again.
Everything worked favorably for
Rogers until they reached the union de-
pot, when Special Agent M. J. Murtha
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad appeared. Rogers recognized
the officer and made an effort to do
away with the bond. Having no place
to throw it, he rolled it into small
ball and swallowed it. Rogers was ia
ken before Justice Foster who held him
to await the action Of the grand jury
in $500 bonds

PARDON BOARD MAY GO.
W. E. Stanley, if Elected, Will Abolish
This Nuisance.

When W. E. Stanley becomes COVER
nor OF Kansas next January, he will
probably abolish the state board of
pardons. He is not in favor of the
promiscuous granting Of pardons, as
is the present incumbent. In a general
conversation a few days ago, Mr.. Stan
ley expressed himself emphatically on
that subject. 1T is rarely the case
that an innocent man is sent to the
penitentiary," said he, "and convicts
will find it extremely difficult to get
pardon during my administration, in
case Of my election. This pardon bust
ness is greatly Overworked. When
twelve good men and true find a man
guilty, and a judge, after hearing the
evidence, prOnOunces sentence on him,
in my opinion he should suffer the pen
atty, unless developments later prove
that he is innocent, which is rarely the
case"
While Mr.. Stanley did not say in
so many words, that he would abolish
the board of pardons, his friends take
it that such was his intention.

sOciate judge of the Sixth circuit, went
to President Mckinley and made per
sonaI request that another judge should
be appointed. His reason for this was
that the circuit embraces four import
and Tennessee-and that only two
judges are allowed, whereas other cir
cults not as large are given three or
more. The work of the circuit he
showed, required an additional judge.
The result of this conference was that

said that it was something new in

was discussed in North Platte, and
finally Cody said that he would ad-

so, and his success is well known.
