BUSINESS IN NICARAG
Consul Donaldson Says There Are
Few Openings for Americans.

Few Openings for Americans.
In answer to enquiries from Americans,
Consul Donaldson. of Managua. on Febru-
airy 10, 1900, sends the following infOrma-
ton:
AS teachers and professors in Govern
ment and other schools in Nicaragua there
is really no opening for our young gradu-
ates Salaries here are insignificant and
customs so different that Americans have
never proved successful. The salary of
principal here is 80 pesos. or about 81 per
month.
American physicians and surgeons are
successful here. but no part of the world
is more crowded with them than the large
towns Of Nicaragua. Hundreds of the ma
tive young men study medicine in the
United States and return here to practice.
They understand better their own diseases,
customs. and people than foreigner
could. and the majority of the people pre-
fer them Dentists. however, are scarce,
and whenever an American dentist comes
he does a good business and can charge
remunerative prices.
Engineers of all kinds are the most
successful of any professional men in
these tropical countries. Very few ma
tives follow that vocation. and most of the
engineers employed by the Government
are foreigners. An engineers salary at
the start is from $50 to $100 in United
States gold per month.
Business here is the favorite occupation
for all natives. The wives of officials, of
planters. of lawyers, of doctors. and even
of politicians have their little shops and
thus crowd every town with stores. Sal
aries for clerks are not worth the con-
cidcration of any foreigner.
"All the railroads of Nicaragua belong
to the Government, and are directly under
the charge of the Minister of Fomento
Hon. s Ramirez He also has charge of
all the steamboats, except one line. which
is managed by F.. Nicol. agent, Greytown,

Not Instrucfing for RooScSeIt-It
is noted with growing apprehension by his
friends at this end of the line that at
none OF the county or district conventions
in New York thus Tar have delegates
chosen to the State convention been in
stTucted for Governor Roosevelt. Indeed
Jnly the most perfunctory endorsement of
heNRough Riders administration at Al
bany has been given by any of the as
semblages of his party representatives,
since the season of conventions was in
augurated. The willy Mr. Platt of course
is being accused of manipulating the party
to suit his own purposes. which means
that when the State convention assem-
bies he will be in a position to dictate
hard terms to the fiery Roosevelt. 1t is
also thought that in this shrewd move he
is being assisted by the Hanna organiza-
ton. Roosevelt has been talking out too
plainly on various topics to suit the
bosses at Washington. He discusses the
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty like a Democrat,
and his attitude toward the Porto Ricans
is in harmony with the protest against
the nation being Oxnardized at one fell
swoop. 1t may be that the Rough Rider
will see the advisability soon of adopting
the prevailing fashion of changing his
mind. If he does not do this il is thought
he will have trouble on all sides of the
game.

Against Wight.-Tt is said that the
endorsement of Commissioner Ross by the
colored men of the District for reappOint-
ment carries with it their disapprovaI of
the re-appointment of Commissioner
Wight. No public protest, it is
stated. is TO be made against Mr
Wight for reasons that are wise
from the standpoint of the colored
man and brother who at times is not ayerse

employment in the country's service as
District Commissioner may consider him
tit. But just the same the Afro American
is reported to be very eager for the reega-
tion Of Mr.. Wight to the shades of incon-
spicuous station among the private citizens
OF the Republic. II appears that the griev-
ance of the Afro-American against Com
missioner Wight is founded in an alleged
remark he made recently to the effect that
the criminal classes are recruited from the
teeming ranks Of the negro and the Irish.
Now. il so happens that the latter are for
the most part Democrats and therefore
under the present arrangement of things
are incapable of advising the White House
on matters pertaining to the public SER
vice. But for this il is believed Mr.. Nc
Kinley would have been visited by an en-
ragged horde of citizens Of Milesian extrac-
tion who would have made il palmer than
the colored men have done why in

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

CIOse-Sfate Man.-Representative
b. F. Caldwell of Illinois, who has large
following for the Democratic Vice Presi-
Dental nomination, will not admit that
he is a candidate. Numerous county con-
ventions in his State have instructed for
him, but no expression has been wrung
from him as to his willingness to enter
the race 1t is suspected that Mr.. Caid-
| well prefers a seat in the Senate to the
Vice Presidential nomination or Office. He
believes that the Democrats now stand
good show to elect the next Legislature
in Illinois, owing partly to the fierce fac
tional fight between Senator Cullom and
Governor Tanner, and that, therefore,
Democrat will succeed Mr. Culiom. 1t is
generally conceded that Cullom's toga
should fall upon former Vice President
Stevenson if the Democrats carry the
Legislature in November, though on this
point Mr.. Caldwell maintains discreet
silence Il am firmly convinced, said
Mr. Caldwell to a Times representative.
{ that the interests of the party demand
the nomina ation of the candidate for Vice
President from one of three States-1lli-
nois, Indiana or New York. The contest
between Bryan and Mckinley in these
States is going to be very close and if we
can find in one of them man who can
add strength enough TO the ticket to give
the electoral vote of his State to Bryan
we should put that man on the ticket with
the Nebraskan. This view, you see, very
/ greatly simplifies the proposition-reduces
! il to the bare question of the right man
| in one of three States. | do not pretend
! to say who that man is. 1t may be that
| he is a New Yorker or an Indianan, thus
leaving Illinois entirely out of it. All
things being equal, however, | believe that
| there are two or three Democrats in Illi-
nois either one of whom would add the
| required strength to the ticket in that
| State. | do not know the field so well in
| Indiana or New York. | dare say, though,
/ that if the leaders of either OF these
! States can show that they have the man We
are looking for he will be accepted by the
| Kansas City convention almost without a
protest. 1t may be that the Illinois De-
| mocracy will not need the Vice Presi-
/ Dental nomination at all.

Didn't Know nr. Beycridge.-When
Senator Beveridge had reached the middle
of his great speech yesterday tall, spirit
uelle looking old gentleman strobe softly
into the Chamber from the Republican
side and eased himself down into the near
est vacant chair. Among the few Senators
who did Mr. Beverdge the courtesy OF re-
naming in the Chamber while he was

Fairbanks paid no attention to the speaker.
The chair taken by the tall old gentleman
was next TO the desk occupied by Senator
Fairbanks. The visitor leaned over and
asked Senator Fairbanks who il was speak
ing. Senator Fairbanks told him with
surprised look that il was his colleague.
The tall, spirituelle old gentleman who
asked the question was John Sherman. The
incident is being related at the Capitol as

The New York Herald" prints Porto
Rican story today, which is likely to worry
the Administration. and may call for Wig
orous denial.
1t appears that, as socn as the Hon.
Elihu Root became Secretary of War, he
interested himself in the conditions pre-
yailing in Porto Rico. and directed Mr..
Charles E. Magoon. law officer of The Di-
vision of Insular Affairs. TO prepare an
opinion covering the political status of the
island. Mr.. Magoon shortly afJerward
submitted a paper in which he gave a de-
tailed history of American expansion, OF
the uniform practice of the Government in
regard to acquired territory, and of the
view taken of the status of such territory
by the Supreme Court from the time of
the Louisiana Purchase to the present
year. The result of an exhaustive study
of the subject convinced Mr. Magoon that
Porto Rico was as much a part of the
United States as is Maryland or Arizona,
and that the Constitution extended over it
from the moment the treaty of cession
was ratified.
This opinion. il is said. was entirely in
agreement with Mr.. Roots previous view.
He took il over to the President. accord
ing to the Herald" story, and urged Mr..
Mckinley to stop the illegal collection of
customs duties and give the island its
rights under the Constitution. Like Mr..
Root. the President was satisfied that the
basic law of America went with the flag,
eE proDrio vigore. but he was afraid of o.
Tending the trusts and therefore was de-
termined to shift responsibility to Con-
gress. So in due course of time the origi-
nal Payne Free Trade bill was introduced
in the House in recognition of the McKin-
ley admonition that our plain duty
demanded such a measure. Then. as ev-
erybody knows the trusts fell upon Mr..
Mckinley and the leaders of his party and
forced them to swallow their words and
consciences. and to use all their power and
influence to oppress Porto Rico and defy
the Constitution.
Ii is al this point that the Herald sto-
" develops its greatest interest. The
President. it is related finding that the
constitutional argument and report of Mr
Nagoon would be embarrassing. on account
OF the intended change OF front, caused thai
gentleman to prepare a fresh opinion
which should show that the Constitution
does not go with the flag that there is nt
Constitution outside of State boundaries
and that the Supreme Court decisions in al
unbroken line for almost a century ar'
twaddle and do moi contain an idea or {
word that any modern trust Administration
is bound to respect. Magoon attended t

Herr LIE. Dinkage. The observations were
naRas from two North German Lloyd steamers
of about 5000 tons and Is or 16 knots and showed
no perceptible effect whatever from favorable
wind, whether gentle breeze or heavy gale,
but a reduction of three to five and a-half knots
with a side or head wind. 1t seemed clearly
proven that favorable wind never helps fast
steamer, although an unfavorable wind always
binders it. In the case of slower steamers, some
increase of speed might be expected to be i'm
parted by a favoring gale.
