TREATY IS PIGEoNHoLED.
Merry-Sanson Agreement With Mic
aragua Not Yet Approved.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Wednesday,
Oct. 9.-President Zelaya has approved of
the Nicaragua Chile and Nicaragua
Mexico commercial treaties that were
passed by the Nicaraguan congress at
the last session of that body. But he
has not approved of the Merry-Sanson
commercial treaty, drawn up in 1900, for
the United States and Nicaragua, and
which was passed by the Nicaraguau
congress last August; neither has he
vetoed it. 1t appears that an influential
congressman who wanted the treaty
amended in favor of the cotton and sugar
interests in his district has, since the
adjournment of congress, succeeded in
having the treaty referred to commit
tee, to be reported on at the next session
of congress, ins January, 1902.
There is much interest taken in the
cotton in that district. But the crop of
1901 will not exceed 400 bales of 500 pounds
each, and the labor required to cultivate
and prepare cotton for the market is too
costly and too indsposed to perform the
continuous work required by the cotton
plant. Then, too, there are several other
textile fibrous plants in Nicaragua, the
fbers of which sell for as 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 Manila.

FAMILY of THE ASSASSIN.
Father and Two Brothers Hear
News in Associated Press Office.


CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct 29.-Next to
the witnesses in the death chamber at
Auburn prison, where Leon Czolgosz's
life was shocked out of existence, there
Were no more interested witnesses to the
far-away vindication of justice than a
little group of men who had gathered in
the local Office of the Associated Press
to learn of the final act early today.
This group included the next of kin, the
nearest of all human beings to the as
SasSin, his father, and two brothers, and
half dozen of his former neighbors in
this city q
The same seeming Indifference that has
characterized the members of the Czol-
gosz family was maintained to the end,
and when the statement that Leon Cool
gosz had been put to death had been told
to the old man in Polish, his fingers
twitched nervouSly for a minute or so, a
suspicion of a tear was seen to come
into his dark eyes, and he made a reply
in Polish to friend, who acted as in
terpreter. The old mans statement was
to the effect that inasmuch as it had to
be, it were better that it is all over.
When told of CZolgosZ's regret that he
had not seen his father, the sassin s
parent replied pathetically that had he
been asked to go to Auburn he would
have done SO, but the news from Auburn
was never assuring, and the father felt
that he was not wanted, hence he re-
manned at home.
The old man said finally that he would
not have been a witness to the killing of
his son, for the scene would have been
too much for his paternal heart.
Other than suspicion of tear in the
fathers eye, there was no sign Of grief
from him. and the two brothers, both
younger than Leon, began to ask as to
the probable painfulness of the electro
cution. The party did not wait to hear
the details, and soon left for their homes,
the father of the assassin to his daily
work in one of the city's parks, the two
brothers to their respective employ
ments
