New York. Jan. 31.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
There has been received ut the navy
department an official report from
Rear Admiral Sicard concerning the
leakage of the boiler tubes of the bat
tleship Indiana, which necessitated the
towing OF that vessel by the cruiser
New York In order for it to keep up
with the remainder of the Northern
Atlantic squadron.
That Rear Admiral Sicard did not
think the matter was important is
shown by the fact he only mentioned 1t
in one paragraph of a letter headed.
'Incidents of the cruise from Hamp-
ton Roads to Key West"
He stated that one OF the Indiana's
boilers began TO give trouble and in
order not to delay the passage to Key
West, he ordered the New York to take
the Indiana in tow. Hawsers were run
out to the bnttleship and the New
York. aided by some OF the boilers
which were in good condition on board
the Indiana pulled the battleship along
with much difficulty.

NIcARAGUAN CANAL.
Prospects for Its Construction Now
brighter Than Ever.

New York. Jan. 3l.--A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
If the Nicaraguan government
should contract with a foreign syn
dicate for the construction OF rail-
road and steamship line across its
territory such action would. authorities
say. be In violation of the terms of the
concession granted to the Maritime
Canal company and would probably be
resented by the United States.
Article five of the concession to the
Maritime company provides that 1.-THE
state binds itself not to make any sub
sequent concession for the opening of
canal between the two oceans during
the terms of the present concession
(99 years. and also to abstain from
granting concession for railroad
such rs might compete with the canal
for transportation of merchandise dur
ing the same period. but nothing in this
article shall prevent the government of
Nicaragua from constructing or per-
hitting the construction of such rail-
ways as 1t may deem advisable for
commerce and international traffic"
Friends of the canal say the first
portion of this article shows clearly
that Nicaragua has not .thc right to
make any concession as the Herald re-
ported this morning. Sen Morgan says
the Niearaguan government has no
right to sell to any foreign corpora
tlon Its railways and steamships II
their operation VIII open "a line of COM
municatlon parallel to the route of
the Maritime canal. The concessions
which the Nicaraguan government has
made to the canal company explicitly
precludci II. President Mckinley, i
feel sure. may be relied upon to protect
the. United states IN the matter and
there is n majority OF both houses of
Congress In favor OF building the canal
with American capital to stand by
him.
'The prospects" he says, cot build
ing the canal on the lines approved
by the United States-that Is. to say,
the canal commissioners were never
brighter than at present and the con-
struction OF the long desired waterway
Is not far distant"

The question of the administration
Of Bishop Wilson. of Baltimore, was
before the conference today. The bish-
OPP had appointed q man Sunday
school agent at ST. Louis. After the
appointment the man continued to
preach at a church which he had al
ready served four years. The point was
as to whether the man was evading
the four year limit law. The only way
In which Bishop Wilson is concerned Is
in the possibility that he may have
| known that such preaching was to be
done when he made the appointment
The matter created parliamentary
tangle and was finally referred to the
committee on Episcopacy. The propo-
sal for the Baltimore Conference to
have stewards minutes presented at

F.. .' Illegal.

=
After fllibustering for nearly two
months the firm of Rudolph kleybolte
x Co. of Cincinnati. o., has declined to
take the city bonds amounting to
sliO.OG0
These bonds were sold to this firm
by the common council last March and
the money should have been paid over
April ], but the matter was delayed
from time to time by the brokers on
various excuses
In declining to take the bonds Ru-
dolph kleyholte & Co. state that their
attorney advises them that the act OF
the Virginia legislature authorizing the
common council to issue bonds was il
legal and hence the refusal to fulfill
their contract. The attorneys opin-
ion seems to have been loophole
through which the brokers have crawl
ed. The act of the General Assembly
is not Illegal.
1t will now be necessary for the
council to reopen the matter and call
for new bids and this will, of course,
delay the much needed improvements.
City Treasurer J. NJ. Curtis holds Ru-
dolph Kleybolte & Co.'S. certified
check for $1,000, but it is worthless on
account OF the endorsement on the
back of il and therefore cannot be col
Iected.
