A RETRACTION.

In the Plaindealer of October 10Th
among other items berating Senator
Stewart the following was published
in its columns.
Mr.. Cleveland referred to the action
OF Stewart in advocating the measure
that suspended the Interstate Com
merce Act on the long and short haul as
regards Nevada, and Stewart may have
some difficulty in convincing the people
of our State that it is wise and polite to
pay back rates from Sacramento when it
lies in its power to have cut down
these rates.
On the morning of October Goth, the
Reno Jonrnal charged that had grossly
wrofged You by publishing statements
that are false. Should such be the truth,
and ! have no reason to doubt that it is,
no one can more sincerely regret it than
myself. did not write the article, but
| cannot hold myself blameless for it's
publication, as heard it hurriedly read
over before it was in type, but failed to
recognize in it anything more serious
than jumble of:campaign slush, and let
it pass.
However, strenuously / may oppose
your reelection this year to the United
States Senate, believe me, sir, when l
tell you, that would not publish malic-
iously one lie about you if knew it
would defeat your aspirations, and as
suring you that will make every repair
alton in my power so far as the Plain
dealer reaches, for the injustice prac-
ticed against you, allow me to subscribe
myself, very respectfully,
EDITOR PLAINDEALER.
This retraction was written on the day
in which it appeared in the Journal, but
the writer of the article asserted its
truth and declared his ability it to prove
it. So far he has failed and / will no
longer rest under the imputation OF hav-
ing purposely published a campaign lie.
Politics may be dirty pool but /
never yet have bathed in it, and, God
helping me, never will.-Plaindealer

STATE UNIVERSITY REGENT.

In response to request made by the

nominee for Regent OF the State Univer.
sity, short term, says, in part;
while the nomination was surprise
1t was accepted as great compliment
and thoroughly appreciated by me.
"As to the University, will say that
it is grand institution, sometl. in: that
we all have share in and of which we
should all feel proud.
at is fairly fourisliing now, know,
but from my point OF view, mnch could
be done and should be done to advance
it still further toword absolute prosper
ity.
"If elected should use my experience
as school trustee toward bringing
about more perfect understanding, q
more cordial feeling, may say, between
the different districts throughout the
State and the University.
81 should endeavor to arrange matters
30 that the boys and girls throughout
these different districts would be actnat-
ed by far more enthusiasm to get to the
University. In the educational line, at
least, nothing is SO good but what may
be improved upon.
"The brilliant, intelligent boys are
here, the magnificent climate Is here,
the opportunity is here, and all that is
required is resolution and determination
on the part of proper authorities to see
that this wonderful opportunity is
proftsd by.
Speaking of the climate, Mr.. Editor,
how earnestly can speak upon that
topic, coming, as did, from the hot, al
most torrid Sacramento Valley, I can
really envy our children their magnifi-
cent climate-no malaria, no depressing
heat-it seems to me that they should
fairly fly along the road toward intellect
ual development,
"How many intelligent men, Mr.. Ed
itor, you know who can tell of lost op-
portunities, keen disappointment and
almost bitter despair caused by lack of
proper training in their early years. AL
though no fault of their own perhaps,
and which they can attribute with great
bitterness of spirit to the absolute me-
glect or Indifference of those who had
charge of their education. Do not under
stand me as trying to disparage any one.
but merely claim that with energy and
diplomacy the University could be bene-
fitted greatly.
"My relations with the University
have extended through several years
and have been most cordial indeed. Ny
regard for the President and his fine
corps of professors ia great-indeed, it
has developed into warm friendship.
"The lack of education proves the
most grievous disappointment, the most
signal failure that comes to the life OF
any mortal. l ssk no greater boon than
to be known as one who has aided his
fellow man to obtain that priceless treas
urea good education.
"No matter what the result is,
whether victory perches on our banner,
or whether we go down in defeat, my
loyalty to the schools and university
will continue strong az ever"

NEGOTIATIONS AS TO TERMS.
England Agrees to Abrogation OF tho
Clayton BuIwer Treaty.

New York, Dec. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
All danger of further friction between
the United States and Great Britain
over the construction OF the Nicaragua
canal will shortly be removed by the
abrogation Of the Clayton. .BnIwer

British ambassador, has received or
will receive within the next few days
positive instructions to enter upon
negotiations with Secretary Hay for the
abrogation Of the convention referred
to, and the preparation OF a new treaty
guaranteeing the neutrality of the canal.
The change in the attitude Of the
British government from it's old posi-
tion OF insisting upon having voice in
the construction OF the proposed canal
is the result Of representations made to
Lord Salisbury by Mr.. Henry White.

London. 1t Is the understanding oi
those who are aware Of the change in
the attitude OF tine British government
that Lord Salisbury will suggest
through Sir Julian the adyisability Of
the United States granting some conces-
sions to his government in return for
the REIMBURSEMENT OF the important
rights possessed by Great Britain in the
matter of canal across the isthmus
which for nearly 80 years have been
recognized by this government in the

A PERFECT SUCCESS.
More About the Balloon Trip Across

More About the balloon Trip Across
the Channel.
New York. Dec. PA dispatch to
the Times from London says: The
Chronicle publishes an account from it's
correspondent sent from a balloon trip
across the channel, showing that the
Andree steering-geal was tested with
perfect success. The sail used was Is
feet square instead of IL feet, the one
used in the land experiment.
The aeronauts took their course when
the 200-foot trail rope was in water
and found they had DETECTED three
points. or about double that obtained
on land in Essex several weeks ago.
This is not surprising, for the frac-
tional resistance of the trail rope in
water was immense. Another test gave
the same results, but this time the bal
loon descended within two feet of the
waves.
To keep the balloon at an even alti-
tude was a task of the greatest diff
Guilty, and owing to cold air ON the
water the sun-heated gas cooled with
lightning rapidity, demanding constant
expelling of ballast to prevent falling
into the sea.
The balloon again rose 1890 feet,
but dropped behind thick clond. The
sudden eclipse caused a rapid descent.
and in few minutes the balloon
touched the ocean. A wave struck the
car. 1t was an exciting moment for
the aeIonauts, their gum boots being
filled with water. Percival Spencer,
the famous aeronaut. in charge, prompt
" threw out ballast and saved himself
from sinking.
The balloon then rose zoo feet after
clearing the French cliffs. and landed
safely amid Norman peasants four miles
east Of Hayre, having in five hours COW
cred l60 miles, Of which rs miles were
over sea.

OLD GLORY OVER WAKE ISLAND
Commander Of the Bennington Will
Receive orders to Hoist the
Flag There.

Washington, Dec. 26.--This govern
nent has determined to hoist the flag
over an island far out in the Pacific
ocean, and orders were sent out late
this afternoon to the commander OF the
Bennington, Captain Taussig, to pro-
ceed at once to take possession, in the
name Of the United States government,
Of Wake island, lying in latitude 10
north, longitude 1865 east. 1t is distant
about 1000 miles from Nihau, the
westernmost Of the Hawaiian islands,
and 1900 miles east OF Guam. 1t is
almost in direct line between those
possessions Of the United States, and
is admirably adapted for use as sta
tion for Pacific cable TO connect the
Philippines with Hawaii and the Unit
ed States. 1t is about three miles in
length, and incloses lagoon Of salt
water. The average height Of the
island is eight feet above high tide. 1t
is scarcely capable. in itself, Of sustain
ing life, but il is expected that cable
can be maintained without diffic Atty
by the erection of condenser to sup
ly fresh water. Some station in that
locality is deemed to be absolutely nec-
essaIy to the maintenance Of cable.
and for that reason the American peace
commissioners at Paris endeayored to
secure one OF the Caroline islands. but
without success.
Wake island is said to be by right
! y
already American territory, for in 1851
Admiral Wilkes surveyed the place and
asserted title. 1t is not inhabited, so
! lar as known. at the present time,
though in the past some guano gather
ers have temporarily lived on the
island.
The Bennington is now at Honolulu,
and the orders TO her will 60 out by
steamer. After hoisting the flag on
Wake island, she will proceed to Guam
and make a survey Of the island, which
was ordered some time ago. She has
already completed a survey OF Pear
baIbor, seven miles from Honolulu,
which will form the foundation of the
governments plans for the enlarge.
ment of the harbor there and the
strengthening Of the channel connect
| ing the inner hafbor with the ocean.
