CHANCE TO COIN MONEY
NOT FIGURATIvELY, BUT LITERAL
LY, FOR GOVERNMENT OF
NICARAGUA
WILL PAY GOLD FOR SILVER
Central American Republic Wants

ton in Education.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANAGU, Nicaragua, Monday, Nov.
26-The money circulating in Nicaragua
is almost entirely paper promise to
pay" without other security than the
promises to redeem printed on the notes
by the government. About 100 pieces OF
n1ckle and lead have also been put into
circulation. Each piece is stamped five
centaVos, consequently silver pesetas
are from is to 20 per cent premium in ex-
change for Nicaraguas paper money.
Recently the government has concluded
to consider propositions made to it by
Europeans, chiefly Belgians, Frenchmen
and Englishmen, to buy silver and have
coined and put in circulation 100000 Of
pesos and fractions thereof, the
pesos to be 800 fine in silver and the frac-
tons to be 800 fine
Ell Liberal, daily newspaper of Mana
qua, declares that Nicaragua's minister
Of the treasury has not come to a deci-
sion in the matter but is waiting in the
hope of receiving offers from parties in
the United States and Mexico to supply
the silver and have it coined at a fineness
in pure silver that Nicaragua may die
tate. He expects a more acceptable offer
from the United States.
Nicaragua, the paper adds, can pay
gold for silver.
The national and other institutes of
learning in Chile have won a victory re-
Gently by succeeding in persuading the
president of Nicaragua to send one of his
sons and twentyfour other young men
at Nicaragua's expense to universities in
Chile to be educated. Until now it has
been the practice to send the students
from Nicaragua to San Francisco, Phila-
delphia and New York, a few going to
Europe. This decision to send the young
men to Chile at Nicaragua's expense may
have some political object.

LOW RATES FOR ACTORS
ST. PAUL-CHICAGO LINES NEGO-
TIATING TERMS FOR PROFESS
SIGNAL THEATRICAL PARTIES
TO AMEND THE OLD CONFUSION
Wisconsin Central Would Make Rate
to Amateur Companies as Well
Threats of Discrimina-
ton Made.

It is quite probable that the rates for
theatrical companies on lines north and
west of Chicago will soon be very greatly
reduced, and this, too, without the active
intervention of the prospective bane-
ficiares.
General passenger agents of the lines in
question, at their meeting in Chicago a
day or two ago, came to the conclusion
that these rates were too high, and
should be let down. 1t was sugge sted
that all the railroads come to an agree
ment on certain rates for these large
troupes and stand by their agreement,
ceasing the manipulation with special
tariffs.
The general rule in the West respecting
passenger rates is that they should differ
according to the district For instance,
between Chicago and the Twin Cities a
party of ten persons or more may have
advantage of the 2-cent per mile rate.
Between Chicago and Kansas City ard
Omaha, no rate can be specially given
unless the party is a regularly organized
one, doing a real business in the theatre
cal line. This double rule has caused an
endless amount of confusion, and has led
to threats to bring charges against the
roads INDUCING in the practice before the
interstate commerce commission for dis
elimination in rates as between certain
points.
The peculiar condition was brought
about by the refusal of the Wisconsin
Central to make a difference between
temporarily and regularly organized par
ties. This forced the other St Paul-Chl-
cago roads to give the general public the
benefit of the rates. The railroads, as a
rule are opposed to admitting the entire
West to the benefits of this reduction,
and they are endeavoring to mend the
broken rule.

NO STRIKE THOUGHT OF.
AmicabIe and Satisfactory Relation
between Employer and Employs.

G. L. Hampton press representative Of
the Northern Pacific telegraphers, stated
to the G | e yesterday that he and
the other members of the committee of
operators in the city Ito confer with
Northern Pacific officials will probably
remain here until the last Of the month.
There are a number of matters requiring
attention, and Mr. Hampton believes
that it will take this length Of time to
dispose of them.
Mr.. Hampton says the business under
consideration does not involve schedules
which embrace wages and hours; that
these matters may possibly come up for
consideration in the future, but even If
they do they win form only minor part
of the transactions. Mr.. Hampton states
that he has been wrongly quoted in say
ing that the committee had presented
schedules to the Northern Pacific Off
Gals. The st. Paul evening paper which
stated Tuesday that the committee was
preparing schedules to be presented was
therefore i'll error. as Mr. Hompton says
there is no authority for any such state
ment.
ITO be frank about this matter" said
Mr. Hampton to the G o yesterday,
"these matters are of very little interest
to the public, if, indeed, any interest at
all. There is absolutely no estrangement
of feelings between the company and our
selves, and the conferences are being held
merely for the disposal of purely business
matters that are likely to come up for
settlement with any other business or
ganization''
Mr.. Hampton further stated that there
is not the least grounds for believing that
a strike of the operators will result from
the conferences. which are to be held
from time 10 time for the week or so.
No trouble of a strike-breeding char
acter, in fact none whatever, has been
experienced, and consequently there is
no reason for thinking that a strike Is
imminent. The most of the operators on
this line are old men, have been wi the
road for many years" said Mr.. Hamp-
ton, land He.have never found any trou-
bic in getting along with our superiors.
Mr.. Kendr.cll, with whom we are deal
ing principally. has always been very
consiGerate with US, and is not otherwise
at the present time. We have no fear
but that he will always accord to us the
fairest and most satisfactory treatment.
81 have no doubt" continued Mr..
Hampton. that the talk by outside par
ties of the possibility of a strike is en-
tirely due to the mere fact OF the trouble
existing at present on the Santa Fe road,
but it is mere presumption
