THE MERRY-sANsoN TREATY.
It Has Not Yet Been Approved by
 President ZelaYa

Correspondence of the Associated Press:)
 Managua, Nicaragua. Wednesday, oct. 9-Prt sident Zelaya has approved of the Nicara sua-Chile and Nicaragua Mexico commercial treaties that were passed by the Nic1raguan Congress at the last ses- sion of that body. But he has not ap- proved of the Merry Samson commercial treaty drawn up in 1900 for the United States and Nicaragua and which was passed by the Nicaraguan Congress last August: neither has he vetoed it. It ap- pears that an influential Congressman who wanted the treaty amended in favor, most probably of the cotton avld sugar interests in his district. has, since the ad- journment of Congress, succeeded in hay ing the treaty referred to a Committee to be reported on at tho next session of Con- gross in January. 19O2.
 There is much interest taken in cotton in that district. But the crop of 1901 will not exceed four hundred bales of five hundred pounds each. and the labor re quired to cultivate and prepare cotton for the market is too costly and indisposed to perform the continuous work required by the cotton plant. Then, too, there are several other textile tibrous plants in Nicaragua. the flores of which sell for ns much per pound as cotton and which can be cultivated for one-fOurth the cost of the latter. This is especially true in the case of henequen and mania.

Justice Mclean says the only proof to support the Judgment IS that Most purloined an article. expressing certain sentiments, written by another half a century ago, and published as ms own fin a paper professedly Of some CIT culation, but which circulation Is shown by the sale of but single copy, tha' purchased by the police. probably TOT the purpose of prosecution.
 He further says that 1t may be doubted reasonably whether the Judgment, ever with that support, should stand' at plagiarism Is not criminal onense unoei the laws of the United States.
 'It is not shown" says Justice Nc Lean. that the defendants expression of borrowed sentiment has worked in jury to any individual by falsifying any fact, or to the public peace or health, o' that his acts were attended with cir cumstances likely to disturb or endangei the public peace or health.
 The justice says also the contention that the publication has openly outraged public decency rests solely upon th' language of the article itself and tha the indeoency repressed by the law re lates rather to action and words whici nature and propriety require to be con ceaIed and suppressed and to public dis play. sale and exhibition Of evil books or prints.
 "The indecorum of this pilfered screed. ' says Judge Mclean. lis of another sort. It prates of humanity immortality and morality, reason and conscience, but car ries no suggestion of the obscene"
 The utterances, Judge Mclean says, dc not come within the meaning of the section of the code under which Most was prosecuted.
