GREAT BRITAIN'S ACTION
Is SOMEWHAT PECULIAR
While Abrogating the Clayton Bull
wer Treaty, 1t Tries to Control
Nicaraguan Transporta-
ton Lines
ton Lines.

NEW YORK, April PA Washington
special to the Herald says: President
lglesias of Costa Rica called at the State
Department this morning and conferred
with Secretary Hay. The Secretary has
impressed upon the Costa Ricans that the
President does not deem it eXpedient, in
view of the act of Congress directing fur
Their investigation of the isthmiam canal
routes, to construct the Nicaragua canal
Although Great Britain is willing to re-
hnquish her rights to share in the Mica
raguan canal by abrogating the Clayton
BulWer treaty in return for a quid pro
quo from the United States, it is apparent
to the officials of the State Department
that she is taking measures to provide
transportation facilities across Nicaragua
for her own trade.
No official confirmation has been re-
ceived of the dispatch from Managua say
ing President Zelaya had granted an OPP
ton to the British Consul at Managua or
to any company he may organize to pur-
chase the railroads and steamboats, of
Nicaragua, with workshops appertaining
to them, for the sum of 6,500000 pesos
(silver) but the details of the agreement
are expected by the State Department.
1t is considered very significant that
the representative of Great Britain should
take measures for placing under British
control transportation facilities in Mica
ragua while negotiations are in progress
between the United States and Great
Britain for the abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and with 1t the surrender
of all the latter's rights in the Nicaragua
canal

WILDE PROTESTS AGAINST
PROMOTION OF MILLER

WASHINGTON, April 24-Captain D.
F. Wilde, U. S. N, Of the cruiser Boston
has protested against the promotion or
Colonel Miller to be brigadier general
as a reward for the capture of Iloilo. 1t
appears that this capture was effected
entirely by naval forces under the COM
mand of Captain Wilde, and that 1t was
not until after the capture had been ef-
fected that the place was turned over to
Colonel Miller, who up to that time had
nothing to do with the capture. This ac-
ton is Endorsed by Admiral Dewey.
Wildes protest comes too late to be eff
fective, as Colonel Miller was promoted
brigadier general February Is, in recogni-
ton of his services in the capture of Iloilo,
and was retired in that grade March q
by operation of law on account of age.
He was in command of the expedition sent
from Manila for the capture OF Iloilo, and
the cruisers Boston and Petrol were sent
with him to render assistance. Whlle the
vessels Of the expedition were lying OIL the
port the natives began to strengthen their
defenseS and fired several shots at the Re
trel, which vessel was anchored nearest
the shore. The commander of that same
warship asked and received permission OF
Captain Wilde of the Boston to respond.
At this time, according 10 naval adj
vices, General Miller's army transports
communicating with General Miller, the
two warships opened on the shore batter
les and soon silenced them. Lieutenant
Niblack of the Boston landed with a bat
talon of marines and sailors and took
possession of the town. They captured
the insurgent flags on the Governors
house and on the batteries and turned the
city over to General Miller on his arrival,
an hour or so later. They kept the cap
tured flags, however, in spite of General
Miller's demand for them This is the
naval story of the battle of Iloio.
The official report of that engagement
first received in Washington was one by
General Miller to the War Department
and simply announced the surrender of
that city to the American forces under
his command, without going into particu-
lars Acting upon this report and in view
of the fact that General Miller had but a
few more weeks to serve on the active
list, the President appointed him to a va
der generals. He is now on his way
home from Manila and is expected to
reach San Francisco in a few days.

EXPERT EISENScHIMEL
RIGIDLY CROSS-EXAMINED

WILLOWS, April 24.-Expert Essen
schimel who testified for the defense in
the Murdoch case. was cross-examined
to-day. When asked If he visited the Of
fees of the defendants attorneys prior TO
the giving Of his opinion to Cannon and
Freeman year ago, he replied that he
had. Eisenschimel testified that if 200O
reputable residents of the county should
testify that they had seen the Murdoch
note prior to $780, he would not believe
them, and would say they were either
mistaken or were untruthful He denied
that while, the affidavit of Samuel Muir
dock was being introduced during the
opening Of the case by the plaintiff. and
before he saw it, he told Kytka to ''get
photograph of 1t and we will knock it
out" Plaintiffs attorneys claim to be
able to impeach Eisenschimel, who was
left in rather unhappy position when
the cross-examination closed
The afternoon was consumed in a re.
hash of Kytkas testimony Kytka
probably will be on the stand most of to-
morrow and Will be followed by g. C.
Hickok, the last Of the experts.

seeing Hose on the night Of the muir
der A number Of the mob replied that
Strickland had done this in the cum
ningness of his guilt to establish his
own innocence. There were some, how
ever. who agreed with Major Thomas,
and after a discussion a vote was TAX
en-, which was supposed to mean life
or death to Lige Strickland. The vote
to let him live was unanimous. Major
Thomas then retired some distance and
the mob was preparing to send Strick-
land in a wagon TO Newman, when a
member of the mob cried out: We

This remark aroused the mob and a
messenger was sent 10 Major Thomas
to leave Palmetto for his own good, but
the old gentleman was not frightened.
He drew himself up and said emphati-
cally: I have never before been or
dered TO leave a town, and l am not
going to leave this one"
And then the major, uniting his
hand TO give his words force, said to
the messenger: Tell them that the
muscles in my legs are not trained to
running; tell them l have stood the
fire and heard the whistle of the mines
from a thousand Yankee rifles, and l
am not frightened by this crowd
Major Thomas was not molested.
Then, with the understanding that
Lige Strickland was TO be delivered to
the jailer at Fairburn, Major Thomas
saw the negro he had pleaded for led
off TO his death. The mob took the ne
gro to a drive near the home of Mar

ARMING OF ALL WOMEN
URGED IN THE SOUTH

ATLANTA, Ga, April 24-Thc series
Of crimes which began with the burning
Of Palmetto by incendiaries, the lynching
month later Of four negroes by the
whites of that little town in retaliation
to be followed ten days ago by the
murder of Alfred Crawford and the
ravshing OF his wife, for which the
negro Sam Hose, was burned at the
stake yesterday, have stirred the people
Of Georgia and the South into a frenzied
discussion VI the social problem revealed.
The question Of protection for the white
women IN the sparsely settled farming
districts il the topic Of the day The At
70 a collection OF opinions on how proper
protection can be afforded TO the women
Of the country.
Governor Gambler says: II think the
wisest plan for protection will be for the
Legislature to take Up the matter and
provide sufficient State militia and
country Districts
Former Governor William ]. Northen
expressed himself as follows My iirst
suggestion is that all homes should be
made miniature arsenals, at least to the
extent of one good Winchester and one
good pistol. that women be allowed to
carry weapons and taught the use and
handling Of firearms, so that they may
become their own protectors in the alb =
sence OF the husand or master of tie
house. An occasional negro lying dead

in defense Of her honor, will do more 10
stop this awful crime than all the lynch
ings THAI may occur III a year. / would
have every county supplied with at least
half a dozen Well-trained bloodhounGS

ton by her assertion at the agricultural
convention two years ago that = ousand

reason TO change her opinion.
Attorney General Terril favors a better
enforcement of the laws. He says: 1.-The
means of enforcing our criminal laws
would be very materially improved if a
system Of county police were established
in every county in the State"
Hon. S. NJ. Inman, one of the wealthiest
citizens of Atlanta, thinks trouble could
be averted If employers in the country
would investigate the character and the
Inspector General O'Bear: The Sheriff
Of each county should organize regular
posse OF competent and determined men
who would be ready at q moments notice
10 respond TO his CA. and in addition
thereto should maintai- u pack of trained
dogs to follow the trail when a crime is
committed in his county. No expense or
effort should be spared to discover the
criminal and bring him to justice. Women

Big Traction Deal.

The American Railways Company of
Philadelphia has absorbed the Consoli-
dated Traction Company of Pittsburg.
The negotiations leading up to the
actual agreements were very quietly
conducted, and there are still minor de-
tails to be settled before the actual
transfer of stock will take place.
1t is stated unofficlally that within a
short time the United Traction Com
pany will also be taken over. For some
time past tab mas been kept upon the
traffic of the company and there are
strong indications that the United will
be included in the deal.
The important disclosure now made
is the fact that, while the American
Railways Company will purchase the
stock of the Consolidated Traction
Company, there will be no change in
the directory or officials of the local
company. Senator G. L. Magee will
retain the presidency, and the present
board of directors Will continue to
serve. Comprehensively stated the
American Railways Company really
UNDERWRITERS the stock of the Consoll-
dated Company. 1t buys the stock,
paying for it in or AZ per cen: bonds
of the Amer .cau Railways Company, to
be issued upon the collateral represent
ed by the stock purchased.
The authorized capital stock of the
Consolidated Traction Company is S24,
SOC. 600; of this $4,000, 900 is common
and 50, 100000 preferred. The pre-
ferred stock bears per cent interest.
