ARRANGEMENT is A PROTOCOL.

Agreement Signed by Nicaragua Can.
not Be Considered as Treaty.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE arrange
ment entered into at Managua yester-
day between United States Minister
Merry and the minister of foreign af.
fairs was in the nature Of a protocol
and not treaty. It is in effect a
definition, in advance. of the character
of treaty that Nicaragua is willing
to enter into with the United States
and Great Britain. There are sup
posed to be legal reasons why treaty
pure and simple could not be entered
into between the United States and
Nicaragua in advance Of the consum-
nation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
5 A similar agreement has been, or will
be, made with the government of Costa
Rica to secure the necessary rights
f.on that part Of the San Juan river
essential for canal purposes and pos
sibly subject to Costa Rican sover-
eighty.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 11.-Four sea-
men, thought to belong to the Norwe-
gian steamer Ella, lost their lives
yesterday in an attempt to reach shore
for assistance for their ship. The
Ella was bound from Burnt Bay, N. F.,
to this city in ballast, and when off
Scatterie island lost her propeller.
The captain called for volunteers to
man boat to go to Louisburg for as
sistance and five of the crew re-
sponded. The boat was provisioned
and put off. A high sea was running
and the men could make but little
progress. They soon became ex-
hausted and the sea filled their boat
One by one they sank until but one re-
manned. He reached the shores Of
Mainadieu, where he told the story.
Being badly used up, he is unable to
tell the names of the men who lost

CANAL BILL INTRODUCED.
Senator Morgan is Author of
B Construction Measure.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE CASE.
Between Gasps Officers Listen for
Some Clue to the Preparation Of
! Deed EquaIling the Bonine Murder.
Little Hope of Recovery.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Nor
gan yesterday introduced "a bill pro-
viding for the construction of the Mic
araguan canal. The bill provides an
aggregate Of s1s0,000,O0O, of which
$5,000,000 is made Immediately avail
able. The control of the canal is
vested in board OF eight citizens of
the United States, in addition to the
secretary of war, who is to be presi-
dent. These members of the board
are to be paid a salary. 'of $4,000 a
year each, and they are to be chosen
regardless of political aff1liation.
There is a provision authorizing the
establishment of a regiment from the
regular army on the canal belt to
guard it properly.
Mr.. Lodge called up the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in the senate yester-
day and made brief statement re-
garding the convention. Mr.. Lodge
contended that the new treaty does
away with all the Objectionable feat
ures of the treaty of the last congress
and enumerated the particulars in
which the revised agreement con
forms to the action of the senate in
the last congress- when the old treaty
was before it. He analyzed the new
treaty from beginning to end, showing
that in specific terms it abrogates the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850, which,
he said, had stood constantly in the
way of the construction of an 18TH
mian canal. The abrogation of this
treaty, he contended, was most i'm
portant achievement, and ne did not
believe that the United States should
or would lose an opportunity to make
!. secure that concession.

STANDS BY THE scALPERs.
Opposition of TeIegraphers Voted
Down After Lively Debate-chinese
Exclusion Resolution Adopted-uni-
versal Label Not in Favor.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE exclu-
sion of Cinnamon, Japanese and other
Asiatics from American territory,
ticket scalping legislation and the ad-
visibility of adopting a universal Ia
bel for union-made goods were the
principal questions that claimed the
attention of the delegates at yester-
days session Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The resolutions advo-
were adopted by the convention with
considerable hurrah, but in tho matter
of excluding natives of Japan and
other Asiatic lands snag was struck
and that part of the anti-Mongolian
legislation was killed SO far as the
present convention is concerned.
The special committee having charge
Of the exclusion matter was unani-
nous in favor of supporting the Chi
nese exclusion, but was divided in
regard to the Japanese. The Pacific
coast delegates led the discussion on
Chinese exclusion, but were divided
when it came to excluding other Ori-
SAASe@A'' AiS ouAuOA1 VI IAC ASAAoA ho VI
those opposed to the Japanese resolu-
ton was that Chinese immigration
was the greater evil of the two and
that to insist upon some restrictive
law to prevent Japanese invasion
may endanger the passage by con-
gress of the Chinese act.
The ticket scalping debate was
quite a lively affair. The delegates
representing the railway telegraphers
opened the tlghte against the resolu.
tion, making the point that such &C.
tion was beyond the jurisdiction OF
the Federation. The typos" were
helped along in their argument for
the adoption of the resolution by sew
eral socialistic members. When the
viva voce vote was taken those in ia
7or of permitting ticket scalping won
by an overwhelming majority. The
agitation for q universal label, which
has been carried on for q long time,
was again defeated.
The convention disposed Of much
routine business during the course OF
the day. The important question OF
trade autonomy will be sent to a spe.
cial committee, which will be an.
nounced today.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Mrs. Ada
Gilbert Dennis, fashionable dress
condition in her room under circum-
stances that promise to rival the Bo-
nine murder case. Her skull was
fractured jawbone broken and left
ear almost severed from the head.
Her left arm bore bruises indicative of
a struggle and her clothing and the
bedding were saturated with blood.
She was removed to the Garfield hos
pital and a large force OF detectives
put on the case. The name of her as
sailant is unknown.
The general belief is that Mrs. Den
mis- was attacked while asleep in her
back room on the first floor and that
the first blow was in all probability ad-
ministered with the piano stool. which
was smeared with blood, and rendered
her unconscious. The preliminary In
vestigGtion by the police failed to indi-
cate that there was any struggle.
Mrs. Dennis in a conscious moment
while being carried to the hospital
said that some one had "hurt her."
but when pressed for details merely
responded '::never mind" Robbery ap-
parently was not the motive for the
crime, for on the table at the foot of
the bed was small box containing a
pocketbook well filed with green
backs and coin. There was bloody
imprint Of hand on the piano lid in
the parior and window in that room
was open. 1t is supposed the assail-
ants escaped through this window.
Complete mystery as to the motive
for or the perpetrator of the assault
on Mrs. Dennis continues to surround
the case. The police have been en-
tirely baffled in their efforts to obtain
any clue upon which to prosecute
their work.
