viii Invade the Council

Vancouver, B.. c., April 29.-Those who
support Theodore Ludgate in his fight
against the city council for the lease of
Dead Mans island are angrily calling
upon the mayor and the whole city coun-
ell to resign and they threaten ever to
invad the council chamber next Monday
to bring things to a head. Meanwhile,
it is reported hat it has been found out
that Dead Mans island belongs to the
provincial government and therefore the
dominion minister of militia had no right
to grant q lease to Ludgate.

WHAT THE MEN DEMAND

Wardner, Idaho, April 2S.-The day
has been as quiet as a Sunday in a coun-
try village. At the Bunker Hill the
working force is increasing and 23O men
are now at work. The mine still resem-
bleS a miniature armory so far as the
supply of uns is concerned, but the
armed guards of a few weeks ago are
not now noticeable. The company has
appealed to Governor Steuenberg and he
has replied, recommending that the dis
pute be referred to the state board of ar
bitration. 1t is thought that the cons
pany VIII not assent to this. 1t is prac-
tically ignoring the county officials, and
has decided to place it's reliance in the
federal government should the strikers
show any hostile Intentions. 1t will base
it's claim for federal interference on the
injunction issued during the riots of 1892
by United States Judge Beatty at Boise.
1t forever restraints the members of the
Wardner union from entering upon the
property or interfering with the opera
tons of the company, and if necessary
United States troops may be called to en-
force the orders of the judge.
Tacoma, Wash, April PSF. w. Brad

Sullivan at Wardner, Idaho,

BILE between the miners in the Occur
dAlene country is over the Bunker Hin
and Sullivan mines. The company en-
ploys non-union miners and the union
men have been attempting to get them
out. This is the only mine in the district
not under union control, and it is an
eyesore to the union miners According
to Mr.. Bradley his company is paying the
same wages to their men as are demand
ed by the miners union. He says his
company is opposed to union control of
the property.
Mr.. Bradley received advices while in
Tacoma stating that the company had
regained control of the tramway and
would be in a position to operate the
mine without further hindrance. There

New York. April pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Secre-
tary Hay mas cabled Instructions to Min
lister Merry at Bluetields informing him
that the United States could not permit
the double assessment of money mor-
chants at Bluefields on goods imported
into that port. Minister Merry, who has
been at Bluefields making an investiga-
ton of the complaints of the American
merchants at the point, is expected, UNI
der the instructions sent him, to demand
the refundlng of such duties as were paid
under protest, and that General Torres,
the Nicaraguan official in charge of the
department, shall be deferred from his
attempt to enforce the payments of these
duties. 1t is the purpose to show the gov
rnmen that the American importers
paid to the insurrectionist government
the duties on goods brought into Blue
fields during the period from February
3 to February %, and the Nicaraguan
government. after 1t regained control.
had no right to endeavor to assess them
again for the amount of such duties.
1t is contended by the Nicaraguan gov
eminent that the Americans really paid
the money to the insurgents to aid them
in their revolt and that, to prevent the
former from being illegally assessed. a
decree was issued by President Zelayas
Immediately after the port was occupied
by the insurgents, announcing that no
duties would be collected there.
The officials do not recognize the POI
| sition of the N~icaraguan government.
however, on the ground that in case of
a vessel at sea with perishable freight on
board and bound for Bluefelds, her
| agents would be compelled to pay the
duty demanded by the de facto govern
ment, which at that time was the insur-
rectiOniSt government, in order to save
the cargo. AS long as the Detroit is at
Bluefields, ready to enforce Mr.. Merry's
demands, no doubt is felt that the Incl
dent will be closed without much trou-
BILE. The Detroit, Immediately upon the
close of the incident, will be brought to
jubilee ceremonies, to be held here next
month.

Managua, Nicaragua, April ~4.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
! Strong efforts have recently been made
by persons high in official confidence in
Nicaragua to prejudice and embitter the
| people of this state against the people
and government of the United States.
These appear as editorials in Ell Conner
clio. In the editorial articles of March
2 4and 20 the leaders of the revolution
against the authority of the United
States in the Philippine islands are
praised in strong terms and the conduct
of the rebels is approved and they are
encouraged to continue resistance to the
soldiers of the United States by every
| process.
The articles declare that the troubles
and the fighting were provoked and
started by the American authorities. The
people of Nicaragua generally recognize
the fact that the articles were written
by ar intimate friend of President Ze-
laya, n probably reflect the presidents
private feelings. Such criticisms of the
government of the United States as are
offered in the editorials referred to are
the more remarkable in view of the fact
that the government of Nicaragua, at
the commencement of the recent revolu-
ton against it at Bluefields begged that
the United States Warships should be
sent there.
There are discussions in intelligent cir
cles in Nicaraguan oenters and other
Central American States in expectation
that Mexico will probably soon move
southwardly and annex the states. A
large number of natives appear to favor
the idea of being annexed to Mexico, as
if it We're a hope set before them Of
peace and prosperity in the near future,
declaring themselves tired of the many
revolutions and their disastrous social,
moral and financial results that have
originated during the last few years by
splits and petty jealousies among the
high officials of the party in power. Some
of the native politicians also appear in

TT WAS 10 o'clock before the cleo
tions We're entered upon and
long past midnight when they
We're concluded.
A half hour was lost through the
hardness of the delegates and an hour
and half was spent in preparing the
election preliminaries, receiving declin-
atiOns and new nominations and lis
tening to the dissertations on the gran
deur of the several cities seeking the
next convention.
Mr.. SalVO, from Charleston, was the
first to be heard along this line
Among his campaign literature was q
passing invitation from the governor of
South Carolina, Hon. NJ Il. Sweeney.
When Mr. SalvO had finished reading
Governor MCSweeney's message a dele
gate in the rear of the hall caused a
big laugh with What did the governor
of North Carolina say?" Referring in
sarcastic tone to Detroits boast
about its great body of water Mr.
SalvO said: We're not saying a word
about water. Wen give you some-
thing better than water" GaughterD
Baltimore's delegation put forward
the beauties of the Monumental City,
Z
ability to give all kinds of entertain
ment to visitors, as the principal rea-
sons why the convention should go 10
that city.
In seconding the nomination of De-
| troit, Mr.. Winham said he felt some
alarm over the announcement that
Wilkes Barre was in the field, but still
had hopes for his city. Governor Pin
grees telegram urging the convention
TO come to Detroit provoked applause.
Mr. Parker, of Chattanooga, in nom
mating that city dwelt particularly on
the beauties of the national park and
the interesting historic region there
abouts.
After the official ballots had been dis
tributed the nominations were re-
opened to permit of declinations and
substitutions. NJ Il. Finnan, of Bloom
ington, the only candidate for vice
president, withdrew, and Charles ID.
Duffy, of Chicago, was nominated in
his place. Mr.. Duffy withdrew from
the contest for treasurer and left Alex
Mcdonald, of Grand Rapids, the only
candidate.
f. s, Trafton, of Cleveland, with
drew from the contest for a place on
the committee on legislation and left
Messrs Curtin and Quinn to be elect
ed without opposition,
John II. Phillips, of this city, was
slated for the vice presidency but de-
declined 10 stand and was given the
nomination for place on the civil
service board.
A. h. Hasbrouck declined to run for
