Nicaragua Cancels Maritime Canal Cos
Concessions The Turkish Situation.

Washington, April 26-The Nicara-
guam government has finally cancelled
the concession to the Maritime Canal
Co. to construct 4 ship canal across
Nicaragua. This decision is the result
Of proceedings covering period of
nearly seven months. The original
concession would have expired, oct. .,
last, but the company applied for an
extension of the period. This was re-
fused by the Niclraguan government
and then the company. cont nding that
it had been prevented by circumstances
beyond its control from carrying out
its contract. had resort to an article
in that contract providing for set
tlement Of differences between the
company and the Nicaragua govern
ment by means of arbitration. The
Nicaraguan government admitted the
obligation to arbitrate the matter and
appointed it's arhitrators. The COM
pany was invited to do likewise, but
being notified that in accordance with
the common law of nations. ii must
name Nicaraguans as arbitrators. ii
failed to do so. on the 31st of Janu-
airy, the Nicaraguan fiscal solicitor APP
pearcd before the superior court and
asked for a judgment against the COM
pany by default, on the ground that
not only had it failed to take an m
peal within the legal period Of four
months allowed for that purpose. Since
that date the matter has been
held under consideration and the
United States minister 70 Nicaragua
Mr. Merry, has been at Managua seek
ing to effect just settlement Of the
issue. Information has just reached
here that the court having decided
against the cOmpanys claims, the Mic
araguan government has refused to
extend the time allowed for the con-
struction of the Nicaraguan canal by
the Maritime Canal Co. and has va
Gated its concession.

That New York is a big city which
the stranger seldom learns very well
was quite forcibly impressed upon
certain well known Californian a few
days ago. He visits New York twice a
year and has long since learned to find
his way about.
He was charging about in the bust
ness district and suddenly remembered
that he wanted to telegraph to friend
whose offices are at 1876 Broadway.
The Californian dashed into the near
est telegraph office, wrote out his dis
patch and, covering it with the coin,
passed it through the wicket to the
receiver. The receiver smiled.
What is the matter?" demanded the
Californian.
"Why, this is 1876 Broadway" said
the receiver, "and your man is up just
one fight of stairs"
There was confused period that
lasted about a second, and when the
Californian got his nerve back he calm
ly said: 81 know that. Let it go any
way. l guess can telegraph across
the room or this counter if want to
and have the money. We do that thing
out in California every day for joke"
The receiver may have been bluffed,
but as receivers go they are hard to
impress.-San Francisco Chronicle.

the "true omelet, which is not puffy
at all nor subject to falling.
The one point in omelet making
which must be peratively observed
regards the pan. 1t is not at all neces-

Got Over the Limit.

The late Senator Sawyer Of Wiscon
sin was a very generous giver Of char
ity and of presents, which neither he
nor the beneficiary would have cared
to denominate as charity, though the
gifts amounted to much the same. He
told friend one day that he was
going to turn over new leaf and try
to keep his donations down to limit
that would not exceed $1,000 a month.
Three months after he had announced
this resolution his friend asked how
he had made out.
Il started out pretty WELL" he re-
piled, land if hadn't given an old
friend of mine in Wisconsin who had
struck hard luck $4,000 last month I
think should have kept within the
limit" Philadelphia Bulletin.
