zELAYA IS NOT DEsPorIc.
His Bloody Rule Necessary to Restore
 Order.

"A great many hard things have been said about President Zelaya," re- marked one who is we'll acquainted with the masterful head of the Nica- raguan government at one of the downtown hotels the other night. Tn this country he is generally supposed to be bloodthirsty despot, ruling by sheer force of the terror he inspires, and the papers express surprise that he has not been wiped out long ago by revolution. Such a conception of the man is altogether inaccurate It is true that Zelaya is a dictator, or at least more of a dictator than any of the other Central American presidents, but he is far from despot. At the time he took his seat the country was torn by conflicting factions and it was necessary for him to use an iron hand to restore order. Every department had its revolutionary junta, headed by desperate adventurers who were sim ply out for the loot, and under such conditions prosperity and progress were absolutely impossible. To in yoke the ordinary processes of the law would have been absurd, and Zelaya adopted the only feasible means for suppressing the disturbing clement He seized the malcontents wherever they could be found. stood them up against wall and shot them. dare say a good many innocent men were executed, but in such an emergency the rule is; When in doubt shoot the prisoner. It seems hideously cruel here in the United States, but if there is any other way of dealing with the habitual Nicaraguan revolutionist ex- perienee has failed to discover it. Diaz did exactly the same thing when he first took the reins in Mexico, and there is no denying the fact that Ze= laya's subsequent administration has been the nearest approach to civilized government that Nicaragua has ever enjoyed. Schools have been estab- lished, laws have been enforced, prop erty rights have been respected and a number of great commercial enter prises have been set on foot The re- cent drastic measures that have been taken to tip new revolt in the bud at Managua seem to me entirely justi- fable

WHAT THE EAGLE SIGNIFIES.
Why 1t was Chosen as the Emblematte
 Bird of America.


 Bird of America.
 From the Detroit Free Press: Ia ancient mythology the eagle was be- lieyed to carry the souls Of the dying to their abode on Mount Olympus and was called the bird of love. The eagle was first taken as a symbol of royal power by the ancient Etruscans, who bore it's image upon their standard. In the year S7 B. c. a silver eagle. with extended wings, poised on the top of spear, with a thunderbolt held in its claws, was adopted as the mili- tary standard to be borne at the head of their legions by the Romans At the time of Hadrian golden eagle was substituted for the silver one. A fWo-headed eagle was adopted by the Byzantine emperors as a symbol of their control of both the east and the west. The doubIe-headed eagle of Russia was adopted on the marriage of Ivan l. with a Grecian princess of the eastern empire; that of Austria was first used when the emperor of Germany took the title of Roman em- peror. The national standard of Rus sia bears black eagle, that of Poland white one. Napoleon I. took d gold en eagle for his standard, modelled of pure gold and bearing a thunderbolt, after the pattern of the eagle of the Romans. This standard was disused under the Bourbons, but was restored by a decree of Louis Napoleon in 1852. The eagle was first used on American coins in 17S8, on cents and half-cents issued from the Massachusetts mint. It was adopted in the plan of nation al coinage as design upon all gold coins and on the silver dollar, half dollar and quarter-dollar The design of the eagle was at one time suggested for the national flag, but was aban- doned.

Letter Carrying in ChIna.

In China the old-fashioned system of private letter-carrying still prevails. Letter-shops are to be found in every town. If he has letter to send, the Ghinaman goes to Zletter-shop and bargains with the keeper thereof. He pays two-thirds of the cost, leaving the receiver to pay the rest on deliv- cry.

Bird That Guards Sheep.

The yakamik, a bird of the crane family, is used by the natives of Vene- zuela in place of shepherd dog for guarding and herding their aocks. It is said that however far the yakamik may wander with the flocks it never fails to find it's way home at night, driving before it all the creatures in- trusted to it's care.

LION LOOSE
In an Express Car and Devonred |.

Cargo of Poultry.
 Cumberland (Md.) Special to New York Journal: Terrifying growls is sued from an express car of a train that passed through here the other day bound for Philadelphia. A lion was in possession, freed from his cage, slaugh- tering chickens by wholesale. Con- duetor and brakemen kept as far away as their duties would permit Half a dozen Hagenbeck's men were gathered in the caboose, gloomily wondering what they could do to restore the mon- ster to confinement When the train stopped here for water they were at their wits end. Many of the inhabit- ants f1ocked to the station to listen, at a safe distance, to the pandemonium that ragged in the express car. There was continuous futte-ing and screaming hysteTical distress of barnyard-punctuate by one crash after another as the big brute destroyed the poultry crates around him, amid vibrant roars that sent the crowd staggering backward. No one dared to enter the car The animal trainers in the caboose were only too thankful to be divided from their charge by stout wooden walls. Accustomed as they were to subdue wild beasts. they real ized that this lion, which had glutted himself on living prey. would rend any man who approached him. Through a grating in the side of the car they could see him from time to time, his muzzie stained with blood and bristl- ing with feathers All about him lay the mutilated bodies of birds he had seized without devouring them. The survivors flew hither and thither fran tically. sometimes hitting the roof and dropping back again to the floor None of those responsible for the lions safe keeping could imagine how he had broken from his cage. but 1t was easy to conceive he had=been maddened by the heat and darkness and jolting of railway travelling. aggravated as it must have been by the sound and smell of life in the crates all about him. It was agreed that the only thing to do was to continue the journey to Phila- delphia with all possible speed, and there take steps at leisure to either capture or kill the bloodthirsty animal. And so the train rumbled on with the lion in possession

of poor business. The common stock fell
s1% to the lowest price on record Sugar
advanced a point in the morning on buy
ing attributed to covering of an impor-
tant outstanding short account forced to
cover by the operations of a bull pool in
the stock. Most of the gain was lost in
the late dealings. These comprise the
only movements worth individual mention
in the days stock market. The sgnifi
canoe of the market continues purely
negative, the determined restraint of the
speculation marking the waiting for a
solution of the many points of uncertainty
in the situation. The bank statement
conformed pretty closely to expectations,
the exports of gold for today amounting
to $3,250, 000 evidently not figuring in the
statement. The earlier exports were off,
set by the receipts of gold from the Pa
cflc coast and the currency from the In
terror so far as to bring the decline in
cash resources down to less than $780,
600. 1t is of special interest to observe
that while the weeks fixture of Ameri-
can capital in foreign investment has
been carrying out gold in payment, for
eign money markets are still adding to
the sum of their floating indebtedness
to the New York market, as rejected IN
the loan expansion, which is made on
sterling exchange collateral. Further re-
ceipts of gold are expected in New York
next week on account of both Klondike
and Australian receipts at San Francisco;
but a heavy additional outgo to London
is considered we'll assured.
No authorized announcements can be

reported that tentative arrangements
have already been made for shipping at
least $5,000,0 900 and competent estimates
are made that the total will reach $780,
O00, OO0 This leaves any Paris demand
out of the consideration, the rise in the

doubt whether any inducement remains
