the Nicara guam minister, has made an
emphatic denial of the story that Mica
ragua has any hostile designs upon Costa
Rica and especially that the David expe-

terprise- Because of the reiteration in

The minister says that ChiriQui, the
point where the expedition landed and
made its way to David, hes in northern
Colombia, and is separated from Costa
Rica by an almost impossible noun
tain range. No one with any military
talent he says, would attempt % make
Chiriqui a base of operations against
Costa Rica. 1t is true that the expedi-
ton did sail from Nicaragua on a Mica
ragua government tug, the Momotombo,
but the minister claims his government

That Occurred During Last Night.

ST LOUIS. June 2.-The citizens com
mittee appointed at the Merchants Ex-
change meeting to effect a settlement of
the street railway strike went into ses-
sion again today at O'Clock a. M, to take
up the unfinished business Of Friday. The
principal hitch between the union and the
company is the reinstatement OF all union
men who went out on strike.
The unions grievance committee is
standing firm on this particular point and
insists that not only shall the strikers
be put back in their original places, but
also that the union be recognized The
Transit Company processes a desire to
take back an indefinite number OF the old
employees. The union rightly insists that
the company specify the exact number.
At 10 O'Clock today a member OF ths -iti-
zens' committee in session at the Mercan-
tile Club made the following announce
ment: We are nearer a settlement of
this strike than ever. ! look for the strike
10 end inside Of the next twenty-four
hours. President Whitaker. Of the Tran
sit Company. has informed this committee
that be would be able to take back from
LOO 70 2.0G0 Of the strikers at once and
all the others inside Of thirty days.

Interest I'm the Proposed Improve
ments-The Presidents Visitors.
The improvements at the White House
which Congress is planning are naturally
OF much interest TO tas President and
the large force Of people who make the
Executive Mansion their Headquarters.
Mr.. Mckinley, however. has declined to
take any part in the discussion Of the
project He feels a delieaey in dealing
with the renovation of the historic old
mansion which is his official home. and
now in view Of the election, he is par
ticularly avsrse TO any action which might
be construed as indicating his belief that
he has assurance Of occupying the White
House for the coming four years.
Nevertheless. Colonel Bingham, the en-
gineer OF buildings and grounds, who has
the place directly in charge, is giving con-
siderable attention TO the plans for re-
modelling the stately old mansion. One
idea which seems to meet with approval
calls for extensions at both the east and
the west end Of the building. The con-
seTvatories, which now lie to the west,
will be moved south.
Remarkable as it may appear, the PresI-
dent OF the United States and his family
have but six private living rooms az their
disposal outside Of the parlors and the
dining-rcoms on the ground floor. The
lack Of a state dining-room is most keen
ly felt. Whenever a party of any size is
entertained II is necessary 10 utilize the

tion and that is of necessity used for the
Cabinet room as well. The executive staff
including secretaries, clerks and telegra-
piers, numbers twenty men and all of
them are crowded into FIVE rooms. Next
in Importance to the requirements of the
President is the demand for suitable rooms
for the private secretary.
Mr.. Cortelyou. who deals with hundreds
OF people daily in lieu OF his chief, has rot

tie Thunder, Two Stars, Grey Wolf, and
Rev. Charles Crawford called to pay their
respects.
There have been stories going the rounds
Of late to the effect thst the President may
engage in the building of big hotel at
Canton. They probably originated in the
fact that he is interested in large block
of ground in the heart of Canton which a
syndicate has been considering as a site
for new hosiery. 1t is not impossible
that Mr. Mckinley may ta6e hand in the
