NICARAGUA WANTS THE CANAL
senior Cnrcn Holds Il Conference
with Secretary Hwy.

Senior Corea. the Nicaraguan Minister.
who returned 10 the city on Thursday,
called at the State Department yesterday
and held a consultation with Secretary
Hay regarding the Nicaragua Canal.
Nicaragua is anxious to initiate negotia-
lions with the United States for an ar
rangcment by which this Government will
secure right VI way across Central
America for the inter oceanic canal. but
Senior Corea did not submit any definite
proposition to that end. Until the report
OF the Canal Commission has been sub
mitted the Government does not care to
begin negotiations formally, as there $
no absolute certainty that the Nicaragua
route will be selected
AT least one prominent member OF The
Commission favors, the Panama route, and
should his ideas be adopted by majority
of his colleagues, the situation would be-
come somewhat complicated, as the Ca
nal act which has passed the House OF
Representatives and is set for considera-
ton in the Senate on December 10, pro-
vides only for the Nicaragua route.
Senior Corea il expected to submit a def
mite proposition soon. 1t is said that it
will guarantee the United States a free
right of-way across Nicaragua on the pay
ment of a large sum OF money, about So
600 GOO and an annual rental.

FOR BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
Iown's Constitutional Amendment
Carried by 81 Large Vote.

DIES MONIES, Iowa. Nov. 1s.-Final re-
turns show that the proposed constitutions
al amendment. doing away with annual cleo
tions, has about 10000 majority. In chang
ing from annual to biennial elections. it is
provided that the terms of all State, coun-
ty, and township officers whose terms ex-
pire in 1901" shall be extended one year,
or until their successors are elected and
qualified. the Legislature meant this to
apply To officers whose terms expire with
next year. but as a matter of fact the
terms Of the officers whose successors
were elected this fall do not expire till the
first Monday in January 1901, so by IA strict
construction OF the amendment the iucum-
bents will have their terms extended one
year. or really two years. For if the men
elected this fall are not entitled TO take
their places next January. they are not
entitled 10 them at all without new cleo
ton.
In many instances. including the State
officers, the incumbents Will resign and
permit the appointing power to name as
their successors the men elected this fall
but many county officers will hang on as
long as possible.

The Amor Plate Contracts.

We are agreeably surprised and disap-
pointed in failing to find anything ia
gran, or much open to criticism in the
arnor plate contracts which Secretary
Long has agreed to enter into With the
Carnegie and Bethlehem works. Consid-
ering the extent TO which these concerns
were MIXED for the enrichment of Mr.
Hanna s campaign fund the suspicion
WIS natural that after the Presidential
| election. their political outlay would be
| superimposed on the fair price for their
goods. AS We cannot say exactly what
their profit is of course il is impossible
to Judge whether or not this has been
| done. Judged by the measure of former
! demands and what foreign Governments
pay for the same material and service.
| the contract basis appears TO tie approx
| ina,ely if not actually equitable.
! We must remember that We have hall a
dozen or more great war vessels rotting
! on the stocks for want of armor sheath
| ing. AS matter Of proximate economy
| there is no doubt that il would be cheaper
to pay five or even six hundred d,llars
ton for the special product necessary TO
complete these ships. Fortunately. we do
not have to indulge in such an extrava-
gance. Secretary Long has succeeded in
| modera ting the rapacity of the armor-
plate manufacturers to an extent that We
honestly believe entities him to great
credit. considering how much at their
mercy the Government has been and is.
with nothing to hold over them but the
threat of a national plant which in time
would simply make theirs cid junk. But
years would be spent in getting such a
facility in shape for operation, and the
menace of it need not be estimated as Of
much weight ia the present deal.
Mr.. Long has managed TO reduce the
cost of the heavy Kruppized armor from
$3.50 per ton to s455.52 per ton. The Har-
veyized armor will be contracted for at
the original price of si1l.20 per ton. On
the whole. it appears that about four
million dollars has been saved on
the basis of the bids last year This
is much to the credit of our Naval |
Secretary. whom, while We have never |
agreed with him politically or endorsed /
many acts of his administration we have
always believed to be personally an hon
est man. 1t is the misfortune OF our
Uncle Sam that he never spends a dollar
without knowing that "a little bit off the
top of it goes Tip to one or more of
his servants. Armor plate manufacturers
and institutions of that sort generally do
