VERBAL PROTEST. MADE.

European Powers Object to Fortifcations
on the Proposed Canal.
CHICAGO, Jan. ia special to The
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Both Great Britain and Germany
have formally served notice that they
will protest against fortifcation of the
Nicaragua canal if that waterway be
constructed by the American govern
ment. These notices have been fled
during the last few days orally by Am
bassadors Pauncefote and Won Holleben.
They will be followed if necessary by
formal written protests.
1t is believed both France and Russia
and perhaps other maritime powers will
join in the protest if the United States
persists in constructing the canal upon
the basis provided in the bill recon-
mended by the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce last Friday and
agreed to with amendments by the SEN
ate committee on interoceanic canal.

Protest to Be Made Against the

New YORK, Jan. ia srecial to The
Herald from Washington says:
It was said by amember of the foreign
relations committee that an understand
ing exists between the United States
and Great Britain under which this gov
ernment con proceed with the Nicaragua
canal without reference to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. There is no doubt that
since the negotiations for the abrogation
of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty failed and
since the agitation for the construction
of the canal has been taken
up in congress a discussion has taken
place between the two governments and
that Great Britain has given this conn
try assurances that it need not let the
convention of 1850 stand in the way Of
action
It has been known for a year that
Great Britain was willing to abrogate
the convention on condition that she re-
ceive concessions in the Alaskan boun-
dairy controversy, and it is possible if
she has made the concession attributed
to her she has coupled it with the nm
derstanding that her rights elsewhere
will receive consideration in return for
this action

Government Refuses to Assist Lumbermen
in Their Canadian Schemes.

Government Refuses to Assist Lumbermen
in Their Canadian Schemes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The secretary
Of the treasury has notified the commit
tee of lumbermen that there was no
hope for those who had money invested
in Ontario timber limits and wanted tc
manufacture the logs in this country.
He said the Ontario manufacturing re-
strictive act could not be regarded as
retaliatory under the Dingley bill.
The committee not only discovered
that thereis no relief to be had for them
but, Furthermore, that the administra-
ton is more disposed to be against them
than with them.
The protests Of men or groups of men
who claim that they are not being fairly
treated under the present revenue laws
or under treaties which it is proposed to
ratify under the Dingley law, are caus-
ing the administration men great deal
of trouble.
The administration is assuming, al.
though it is talking none about it, that
the owners of Canadian timber lands
are trying to play clever trick on that
country at the expense Of that country's
best interest. The government is not
disposed to become party to such an
effort, even though the men to be bene
fitted are wealthy and powerful poit
ically.

BEARING GOOD FRUIT.

Census Director Merriam's Suggestions
Bring Reports and Inquiries.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The efforts
which Governor Merriam, director of
the census, is making to induce farmers
to prepare statements of their opera
tions for the calendar year 1899, so that
they will be ready to reply definitely
and accurately to the enumerator's
questions next June, are bearing fruit.
Some farmers have forwarded copies
OF statements to the census Office, ac-
companied by inquiries as to their COM
pleteness and correctness. The first and
one Of the best Of these statements came
from woman who operates farm in
Pennsylvania on her own account. The
paper shows not only the acreage, guam
tity and value Of each crop, but contains
also good inventory of live stock, and
a detailed statement of the quantity and
value of the miscellaneous articles pro-
duced.
If every farmer would initiate this
woman, the agricultural report of the
Twelfth census would be marvel of
completeness and accuracy, and would
also show the entire productive strength
of the United States in food products.

SURPRISED THE BOERs.

Lftt1A Resistance Made to the British ab
Potgeiter's Drift.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The Times pub
fishes the following dispatch from
Spearman' s Farm dated Jan. II:
'The force marched westward on Jan.
10. Lord Dundonald by q dashing
movement occupied the hills above Pot
gieters drift, Is miles west Of Colenso,
taking the Beers completely by surprise.
The same evening the infantry fol-
lowed. General Lyttleton's brigade
crossed the river yesterday and today
shelled the Boer trenches behind with
howitzers. General Warren's forces
are now crossing the Tricharte drift five
miles above. He is not opposed, al
though the Beers are holding a position
five miles from the river"
The other morning papers are out
with extra editions confirming the dis
patch from Spearman's Farm to The
Times. The Daily Telegraph's CORE
spondent says:
81 am permitted to wire from Spear
mans Farm that General Lyttleton
Tuesday ferried and forded Petgieter's
Drift and seized with little opposition a
line Of low ridges mile from there.
During the night howitzer battery
was carried across. Wednesday from
Mount Alice, near Swartzkop, naval
guns and howitzers effectively shelled
the Boer position, which is strong. Gen
eral Warren has also crossed the Tugela
six miles further to the west, near
Wagon Drift, with all arms, in the face
of hot and heavy fire from Boer can
non and rifles. He found most satisfac-
tory lodgment two miles further on
towards Sproen Kop."
