He then demanded an adjournment of the

Later in the day vast crowds gathered
in the Place de In COncorde and began a
violent demonstration. The mob burned
several kiosks on the Place de la Con-

the anti-Jewish rioters and several of the

serious conflict resulted from demonstra-

American Company Secures Concessions.
Louis Wickmann of the Atlas Steam
ship Company, who arrived at New York
from Greytown, says the survey of the
proposed route of the Nicaragua canal, in
accordance with the grant to the old Mic
aragua Canal Association, which was
transferred to the Maritime Canal Com
pany, has been completed and that nearly
all the civil engineers are returning to
their homes. Mr.. Wickmann was surpris-
ed to learn that the commission appointed
by President Zelaya to render an opinion
as 10 the date the concessions TO construct
canal across Nicaragua expires had de-
cided that the grant held by the Maritime
Canal Company holds good until Oct. 20,
1899. 1T remains 10 be seen what action
Congress will take in the matter when the
report OF Admiral Walkers commission
and the Morgan bill come up said Mr..
Wickmann. There is some opposition to
the United States getting control of the
old Nicaragua Canal grant at Managua,
and there it is said that article Z of the
concession prohibits government control
by providing that the present concession
is transferable only to such company of
execution as shall be organized by the
Nicaragua Canal Association and in no
case to- governments or to foreign public
powers" Mr.. Wickmann has been to Mic

from the Nicaraguan Government by the

tirely severed from the trunk. The tracks
are elevated at that point and the head
had rolled almost to the edge Of the en-

side of the track. From the appearance
of the body, the plan was carefully thought
out and the deed most deliberate. Ran
tach had removed his overcoat and coat,
carefully folding them and placing them
beside the track. Apparently he waited
until he heard train approaching and
then placed his body between the rails SO
that his head would be severed. He was
lying near the track Of rorth-bound trains.
The police are uncertain when the affaiv
took place, but are positive that 1t was nos
an accident. Nothing unusual was MOTTO

MONEY FOR COAST DEFENSE.
Report of Gen. Wilson Asks for Ad-
ditional Appropriation.

Report of Gen. Wilson Asks for Ad-
ditional Appropriation.
The annual report of Brig. Gen. John
NJ. Wilson, chief of engineers, L. s. A,
covers all operations connected with forti-
fications and river and harbO'c improve
ments during the past year.
In consequence of the war with Spain,
and the possibilities of hostile attack upon
our coasts, Gen. Wilson says pressing de-
mands of business interests required the
erection Of seacoast batteries at numerous
points not contemplated in the scheme of
national defense. 1t may be confidently
asserted. he adds, that the completion CT
the projects upon which operations are
now in progress will practically insure
the safety of our principal harbors end
seacoast cities against attacks from the
sea.
Five hundred heavy guns, about 700
rapid fire guns of various sizes and about
1,O0G mortars are still to be mounted at
an approximate cost of 500, ,00o, 900. Gen.
Wilson asks Congress for S4.917 800 for
Notifications work to be expended next
ycer.

1t was announced in Washington Fri
day morning that the peace negotiations in
Paris were proceeding satisfactorily, ant
that Spain had accepted the terms Of the
United States in regard to tie Cuban debt
and all matters within the province of the
joint commission excepting the disposi
ton of the Philippines.
The articles of the protocol settled are:
1. The cession of Porto Rico to the
United States.
2. The REIMBURSEMENT Of all sovereignty
over Cuba and dependent islands. and the
cession of Cuba to the United States fol
its paciication and the establishment Of
stable government.
8. This country assuming no portion Of
the Cuban debt
4. The cession to the United States Of
an island Guam in the Ladrone group.
5. The withdrawal Of Spain's forces
from the western hemisphere (now going
on).
The one article to be decided is that pro-
viding that the United States shall occupy
and hold the harbor and city OF Manila
and Subig bay until peace commission
determines the rights of both Spain and
the United States in the Philippines.
The negotiations were nearly wrecked
on the Cuban debt snag. The Americans
were unyielding in their refusal to assume
single dollar of that debt, despite the
threats of the Spaniards to break off the
proceedings. Finally, the Americans re-
naming obdurate. Senior Montero Rios,
head of the Spanish commission, tele-
graphed his resignation to Madrid, and af-
fairs became extremely critical. Had his
resignation been accepted, the other Span.
sh commissioners would have followed
suit, and the peace negotiations would
have come to an abrupt end. This result
was averted by the action Of the Queen
Regent in begging Rios to continue.
As last resort, the Spanish commits
doners begged for mercy, declaring that
should Spain be compelled to assume the
whole of the Cuban debt, 1t would mean
her utter financial ruin. This appeal was
sent to President Mckinley. and resulted
in the midnight cabinet meeting in Phila-
delphia Wednesday night. The president
md his advisers decided again that Spain
must assume the debt, and the Spanish
commissioners were forced to accept the

The situation is all the more surprising
in view of the pressing nature of the con-
troversy with England over the Fashoda
affair. This seems to have been complete
ly lost sight of in the excitement over the
Dreyfus case, for which the army is chief
ly if not wholly responsible. The sudden
act of Chanone is attributed to the hound
ing to which he has been subjected by
army officials, who are apparently more
eager to carry on an anti-Semitic war i'll

eign enemy in central Africa.
The first inference is that this sudden ir-
ruption of the volcanic elements which
constitute so large portion of the gov
erning factions in the French Republic
will operate to the direct advantage Of
Great Britain. While the French leaders
are torn to pieces with their dissensions
over internal affairs, England, with all

ments Crowned with Success.
During the past two years the Depart
ment of Agriculture has conducted a series
of experiments in the use of Il serum as
remedy for hogs affected by cholera or
swine plague. The experiments were con-
Quoted by DIR. ID. Il. Salmon, chief of the
bureau of animal industry. and the results
were eminently satisfactory. proving the
dreaded disease can be successfully treat
ed, easily and inexpensively-

raisers lost through the ravages OF the dis
ease $15,00O0OO Scores of remedies have
been tried. but nothing even approximate
ing a specific for the disease has ever been
discovered until the Department of Agrf-
culture began its experiments.
Summarizing the results Of the expert
ments, DIR. Salmon said so per cent of the
hogs treated in droves have been saved,
while in the drOves affected with choiera
and not given the serum treatment quite
so per cent were lost.
Last year the experiments were conduct
ed in Page County. Iowa, the results
showing loss of only 90 per cent of the
affected droves. This year the expert
ments have been extensive and far-reacn-
ing. The bureau treated 922 hogs. Of
these 10 died. the number saved being 80
out of every 100. The loss was only 10
per cent. The animals comprised seven
teen drOves, and of these six droves lost
only one hog each. On the other hand,
1,107 hogs in other droves were served
and not subjected to the serum treatment.
OF these $40 died, showing loss of 198
hogs out of every 100. Speaking of the
treatment, DR.. Salmon said:
There is no question of the effective
ness of the serum treatment. Our opera
tons have been viewed with skepticism,
but the serum treatment for hog cholera is
no longer an experiment. 1t is proved
success and undoubtedly will save to the
farmers of the United States millions Of
dollars every year."
The cholera serum is procured by keep
ing apart for treatment an animal-a horse
or cow-and injecting into its blood small
amount of the blood of a cholera-diseased
hog. This will sicken the subject, but he
will recover, when another dose will be
administered, and so on time after time
until finally his blood becomes so impres-
mated as to render him practically cholera
proof. Then his blood is let and the clot
drawn off, leaving the thin. yellowish por-
ton, which is the serum. This is used to
inject into the diseased hogs and operates
to render them likewise cholera proof, or
even cures them of the disease after it has
developed.

The President has decided that Ameri-
can warships shall be stationed in Havana
harbor, US requested by Admiral Samp-
son and other members Of the evacuation
commission. The delay has been due to
official reluctance to expose national YES

to await convincing assurances from the
Spanish authorities that no torpedoes re-
manned which might be exploded by dis
gruntled civilians or revengeful Spanish
soldiers. These assurances have now been
forthcoming, but, nevertheless, every Ere
caution against rascality will be exercised.
The naval administration has for some
time been engaged in equipping the Eagle

Flames broke out upon the large, full
rugged ship Andorinha, lying at the Ger

loaded with jute butts, which are highly

From the storehouse pier the flames

iremen were totally destroyed, with their
cargoes of cotton and jute. The tiremen
worked steadily for two hours before the
flames were in any way stayed. The Ger

was his humane and shrewd management
of the Egyptians that enabled the sirdar
to lead them victoriously against the
