CRUISER FOR COSTA RIGA
THE DETROIT ORDERED TO SAIL
FOR PORT LIMoN.
Goes to Protect American Merchants
From Gen. Torres Arbitrary Acts
Resist Collection of Duties.

Washington, April S.-The cruiser De-
troit got away yesterday from La Guayara
for Port Limon, Costa Rico, where she
will receive instructions from the navy de-
partment as to her further course, the
cable to Nicaraguan ports being inter-
rupted through the arbitrary action of
General Torres.
Nothing has been heard at the state de-
partment from its representatives in
Nicaragua since Consul Soresby cabled
from Port Limon three days ago an ac-
count of Torres action and appealed for
two warShips.
The Detroit is due at Port Limon Tues
day morning, and unless there is a decided
change for the better in the situation in
Nicaragua she will push on with all speed
to Bluefelds. Our government is determ-
ined not to tolerate the extortion practiced
by Torres upon American merchants
there.
a disquieting feature of the situation is
the acknowledgements by President Ze-
laya of Torres contention thai he has
right to collect duties which have al
ready been paid by the Americans to the
de facto government of Bluefields under
General Reyes, the leader of the late in
surrection. The Nicaraguan government
contention is that foreign residents of
BluefieldS having been warned by the
government not to pay custom duties
to the insurgents cannot now claim ex-
emption from a recollection by the gov
eminent of duties so paid.
The state department, however, has sat
isfied itself that the insurgent govern
ment at Bluefields under General Reyes
was de facto government in the full
sense of the term, and also that the mer-
chants paid the duties under absolute
compulsion.
Therefore. it is determined not to toler-
ate recollection of these duties on the
part of the Nicaraguan government. 1t
is pointed out that if the Nicaraguan
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-04-09

was ctild's play compared to the prob
lem of Chinese management. What has
occurred in Africa, where the native
counts for nothing, is only pale fore
cast of what may happen in China with
six nations contending for commercial
advantage with a people numbering
300 G00,0 souls.
Bearing in mind that the natural re-
sources of the east are to be exploited
with all the perfection of modern appli-
ances and cheaper labor than has ever
been offered the following questions
suggest themselves:
How can cotton goods of the United
States make other than limited mar
ket in Asia against the cottons of India,
Japan and China? How can American
petroleum, better article as it is, hold
more than it's own against the Russian
oil supported, as it may be, by bounty
for political effect? Then there are the
oil fields of Lankat to be counted in as
competitors. How can American iron
and steel markets, held to be closed by
European countries, each one Of which
wishes to keep for its own people the
construction of the railroad the build
ing and running of steam vessels, and
the profits of the custom house? What
better chance Will there be for Ameri-
can machinery and certain textile ma
chimes than now presents itself?
Finally, are we looking forward to
meeting Asiatic competition with an
even higher tariff than is now endured,
a tariff bristling with duties like those
on silks, in the present law. specially
leveled against the imports of silk
goods from Japan?"
The executive council today elected
the following officers: Professor e. ].

dent; Professor S. NJ. Lindsay, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, first vice presi-

TO SETTLE THE QUESTION.
Great Britain Appoints Its Members
of High Commission.

Washington, April S.-The British
government has selected G. n. o. Eliot,
c. B., as the British member of the
joint high commission for the settle
ment of the Samoan question. The
British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, called at the state department to-
day and advised Secretary Hay of Mr..
Elliot's selection. Mr.. Eliot is men,
Der of the embassy staff, and during his
brief service here has made many
friends.
Mr.. Eliot has the reputation of be-
ing one of the brightest lights among
that school of young Englishmen who
have attached themselves to British
foreign service during the last decade.
He is an Orientalist of high repute, and
has in a brief space of time acquired
an experience in dealing with the half
civilized races that will without doubt
make his services of value to the Sa-
moan commission.
Mr.. Eliot was born in 1864, being the
son of Rev. Eliot of MilbroolSe, Jersey.
He was educated first at Cheltenham,
and was elected a scholar of Baloil COL
lege, Oxford, in 1879, and fellow of
Trinity college in 1884. His Diplomatic
services began July "a, 1886. when he
was nominated to be an attache.

MEIKLEJoHN IS KNIGHTED.
Royal Order of the Sword Conferred
By King Oscar.

Chicago, April S.-The Times HeraId's
Washington special says:
King Oscar of Sweden has conferred
knighthood upon George D. Meiklejohn.

GRATED him with the insignia of the
royal order of the sword Secretary
Meiklejohn is barred by the constitu-
ton of the United States from accept
ing the knighthood, but he will retain
the jewel which the Swedish monarch
sent with the patent.
During the war with Spain Mr..
Meiklejohn. While acting as secretary
of war, was visited by Minister A
Grip, representing Sweden and Norway,
who asked permission for attaches of
his majesty's army to accompany the
American forces through the Cuban
and Porto Rican campaigns. Secretary
Meiklejohn readily issued the neces
sary authority and credentials to the
foreign officers, who accompanied the
minister, and it is presumed King oscar
has conferred the knightly hOnors on
the American in recognition of this
courtesy"

and all during the day and night he has
been gradually sinking. About 2 o'clock
he was pronounced dying, and his death
was momentarily expected.
Judge Field is over 81 years of age.
Since he retired from the supreme
court, in 1897, after thirty-four wears
of service, his condition has several
times alarmed his friends, but his Won
derful vitality has overcome all the
disabilities of age, and though feeble of
late years, he has, since his retirement
two years ago, enjoyed fairly good
health. At the time of his retirement
he had been in bad health for some
time, but his ambition to serve upon
the supreme bench longer than Chief
Justice Marshall had induced him to
refuse retirement, although long past
the legal age, until after his term had
exceeded that of the first chief Justice

the Sequachee ideal. Anything
