opened with the singing of a familiar

tor of the neighboring Baptist Church,
offered an invocation, after which the
audience sang America"
DR.. Snowden next delivered an enthu-
siastic address of welcome, in which
he rejOiced over the recent glorious ma
tional victories on land and sea, and
predicted great results from united re-
ligious effort at Oak Park.
Rev. A. c. Herrick expressed his
qualification upon seeing a good sprink-
ling of Baptist people present, although
the dherents of that denomination, he
said, do not believe much in sprinkling.
The policy of Christian work now Is
not competition but cooperation.
Rev. Fay Donaldson thanked his
friends for the kind reception rendered
him. 1t was a pleasure to- see so many
other Christian denominations repre-
sented. He had been told once that
the Methodists picked sinners out of
the gutter, that the Baptists washed
them, and the Presbyterians starched
them.
The speaker made a very favorable
impression. A letter of regret on ac-
count of inability to be present was
read from Rev. Chenoweth, after which
Miss Williams favored the audience

NICARAGUA CANAL.
AMERICANS VISIT THE SOUTH
ERN REPUBLICS CAPITAL.
Their Object Being to Organize a
Company to Construct a Water
way Across the Peninsula.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated Press)
MANAGUA (Nicaragua), Oct. IL
Messrs. Edwin F. Cragin of Chicago.
Edwin Eyer of the firm of w. r. Grace
& Co., and Frank s. Washburn of New
York have arrived at this Capital. The
object of their mission is to obtain from
President Zelaya authority to attempt
to organize a company and obtain the
necessary capital, estimated at $780,
100000 in gold, to construct a canal
across Nicaragua. President eZlaya has
placed them in conference with the act
ing Minister of Public Works. in order
to ascertain what they propose to ac-
complish and what guarantees they Will
offer in regard to the proposed con-
struction of an inter-ocean canal across
the peninsula of Nicaragua.
There are, however, several obstacles
in the way at present that appear in
superable to the organization of new
company with concessions that would
attract and satisfy capitalists. One of
these is the fact that the canal COM
pany of Nicaragua is still alive. and
that it's charter is unimpeachable, and
is to remain in force until October,
1899 according to the company, but only
until October, 1898 as claimed by the
Government of Nicaragua. However,
the company has strong claim to
many years further existence of the life
of it's charter, in the fact that owing
to the numerous revolutions and other
disturbances in the country since the
granting of the charter in 1887, the
people have been seriously unsettled by
infliction of heavy fines, forced loans,
and impressment by one political party
or another into the army, this being

especially so in the case of the labor
ing class. and causing thousands of the
natives to flee to other States for ref
uge. so that no extensive work like the
cutting out of q canal channel was
possible in the circumstances.
Under the contract held by the COM
pany, the Government of Nicaragua IS
obligated to keep at the canal works Il
police force sufficiently strong to pro-
tect the contractors, engineers and
laborers, and guard the machinery,
edibles and supplies. This force was
maintained at the storehouses and
workshops at Greytown when work on
the canal was commenced but subse-
quently, owing to fears of revolutionary
troubles in Western Nicaragua, the
Government called off the police at the
nal for duty elsewhere, and there
Nicaragua's protection ended.
Even if the existing concession to the
Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua.
chartered by the Government of the
United States, were abrogated there

granted in 1897 to the Caribbean and
Pacific Transit Company Qimited) OF

right of steam navigation on the Rio

with other concessions of land and tim.
Der. This company desires to control
not only inter oceanic transportation
across Nicaragua, but claims the priv
ilege in its charter to build and operate
a system of railroad and steamboat
transportation, sufficient to also control
the interior transportation of the coun-
try. With such privileges, the Eng
lish company is not likely to sell out to
a new concern, even if the latter sue
ceeds in having the existing charter of
the Maritime Canal Company annulled.
1t is not probable, however. that the
Government of Nicaragua will grant a
canal constructing charter or conces-
sion to any new company until the Gov
ernment is secured by a large sum on
deposit as a guarantee and an equally
large sum in gold as a bond, together
with a large percentage of the capital
stock and the insertion of clauses In
the contract placing the entire control
of the company under the laws of Mic
aragua and binding the company not
to appeal to it's national Government
for help in the event of any dispute
between the company and the Govern
ment of Nicaragua -

From the pen Of Franklin K. Young
we have the following notes on the
movement of the KIP:
BY the initial movement of this
pawn white commits himself to the
right oblique and imposes upon him
self the obligation to establish sooner
or later the open game by P-K4. He
can have no hope of developing by
the left in case black should castle OR,
for his point KB3 is devoid of it's pawn.
Furthermore his king is exposed and
he has notified the opponent on the
first move that he will castle on the
kings wing. If white plays 2P-KB4
he is guilty of q strategic error in pre-
maturely forming the enpotency and
permitting black to maneuyer as white
by 2P-Q4. For you must never permit
black to establish those formation
which by the advantage of the initiative
properly belong to white. But after
casting then KIP at KB4 is at the
best post for offensive purposes that
it can occupy in the open game. BY
its advance KR is released and if its
exchange can be effected KR will oper-
ate a radius of offense against KB7,
the most vulnerable point in the object
i've plane. In contemplates in the mid
game the further advance to KB5-KB6,
supported by KIP and the successful ac-
complishment of this advance almost
invariably means the winning of the
game. Therefore the advance of KIP
to kB4 or KB3 should not be done be-
fore casting, inasmuch as the X is
exposed to the operation of a radius of
offence along the KS minor diagonal.
Such an attack may be repelled to be
sure by the advance of KKtP one step
or it may be prevented by the posting
OF kKT at KB3. Nevertheless there
are difficulties attending either of these
methods of defense that prove the ad-
vance theoretically defective, if essayed
before castling"

everybody supposed the matter was
definitely settled.
Such, the speaker said, proved to be
untrue, for on July 1st Of the present
year, a refunding bill, much modified
from the one over which the great bat
tie was waged, was tackled as a rider
onto the general deficiency bill, and
passed after conflict of two days. The
first effect of that action was to delay
foreclosure of the mortgage for one
year, and the second was to tender a
proposition for a ten years extension
of the time for refunding the debt. The
Republicans, he said, evaded the issue
by declaring the matter to be already
settled, but the best evidence was that
the debt is still owing.
Then Mr.. Mcguire commenced a gem
eral raking of what he called the actions
of the railroad company in the past,
and during his talk about 200 men,
said to be employees of the Southern Pa
cif1c Company, rose in a body and
quietly marched out.
Mr.. Mcguire closed by telling his au-
dience that if elected he would perform
his duties to thet best of his ability. His
remarks throughout We're punctuated
with applause, and at the conclusion
he was cheered vehemently

of Public Instructions; Thomas Scott,

and Henry A. McCraney, candidate for

ticket.

PREACHING VS.. PRACTICE.

The Fresno Republican" comments
impartiany and without heat upon Mr..
Maguire's speech in that city last week.
That which impressed the "Republi-
can, most was the omission by the
candidate to say a single word upon
the silver question, though his platform
makes that an issue. This omission is
taken, and fairly as agreement with
the Republican contention that the
matter is settled and not to be made
an issue in the campaign. Equally
striking was the omission TO refer to
the tariff question, Notwithstanding the
platform of the Democracy reaffirms
the position of the party on customs
revenue propositions.
The most Of the speech, says the
Republican" was devoted to the hot
contention that the railroad is an issue
i'm the campaign, and that the single
tax is not Whereupon our contem-
porary draws this sage conclusion, and
a perfectly logical one:
Unfortunately the arguments de-
stroyed each other If the single tax
IS not an issue because no party has
