"cries of lynch 'em" were heard from
many quarters. Also that the police

tunate policeman, but is it to be taken
for granted that the Negroes hold q

are cranks in this country who actually
tell you without blush that they can

their shameful treatment of the poor

There is no need for an early con-

II is true that The state convention will
probably send an uninstructed delega-
ton to Kansas City. but that means
simply that New York Is following u
precedent when It has no candidate Of
its own. The delegates will vote for
Mr.. Rryan. The democrats have an eN-
Cellent chance this fall. The people OF
the country have been studying the

not be scared into voting for Mckinley

there is the alarming growth OF trusts.

there is none of the apathy IN the coun-

Uninstructed Delegation to

NEW YORK, April 2O,-The demo-
cratic state committe will meet at the
Hoffman House at noon today for the
purpose Of naming time and place for
holding the state convention to elect
four delegates at large TO the national
convention at Kansas City. Frank
Campbell, chairman of the committee,
said that the convention would be held
probably in this city about the first
week in June. 1t is said that Mr..
Croker will join hands with Ex-senator
Hill to send an uuninstructed delega-
ton to Kansas City. The leaders who
declare for an uninstructed delegation
disclaim, however, any hostility to Mr..
Bryan. A large element Of the delega-
ton from up the state wants the dele
gates instructed and it is likely that
there will be a clash in the convention.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Important Treaties Negotiated by the
Administration for that Purpose.

NEW YORK, April pa special to
the Times from Washington. says:
A report is in circulation that the
president is about to send tc the senate
treaties with Cos:a Rico aud Nicara-
qua by which the latter countries pro-
pose TO cede to the United States a
strip Of territory five miles in width
on each side Of the proposed canal
where it is constructed on the border
between Costa Rico and Nicaragua and
similar area when il is wholly in Mic
aragua. In the absence Of the presi-
dent and the secretary Of state and Of
admitted knowledge in the state de-
partment, it is difficult TO verify the re-
report. Neither the representatives OF
Costa Rica nor Of Nicaragua will con-
firm the report, but it is not denied
that a proposition has been considered
which if adopted would give the United
States government power to protect a
canal built under circumstances sug-
gested in such a concession. The
United States would have the right TO
police the canal, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica would he permitted TO move troops
across the neutral strip, but neither
country would be permitted to place
Notifications upon it or engage in mill
itary operations on the grounds de-
scribed as neutral. But the United
States would be authorized to place
troops on the territory ceded in sufii-
cient numbers to protect the canal;
together with barracks, store houses
and material necessary TO military op
eratiOns.
The treaties will, is further reported,
guarantee the neutrality Of the canal
TO the shipping world.
