Regret at washington.

WASHINGTON. Feb. $50 far as can
be ascertaIned the administration had not
had any intimation Of the counter proposals
the London dispatch says will be made in
the matter OF the Nicaraguan canal project.
There is a feeling of regret that the British
government has felt constrained TO adopt
such course, as the hope was entertained
that the amendments TO the Hay -Paunce-
fote treaty might have been accepted in
the spirit in which they were made. Sena-
tor Morgan when informed tonight of the
new stand taken by Great Britain said he
believed IL Great Britain had decided TO
take the action stated it would create re-
sentiment in the Senate and among the peo-
pie and distrust of the motives OF that gov
ernment. He hoped 1t might result in some
action on the pending bill at this session.
Senator Morgan. however. was not willing
TO say what action, If any. he proposed to
take 10 bring about such a result
One suggestion made tonight as possi-
bic counter proposal by Great Britain was
that in return for concessions made by her
she might desire an open port on the Alas
kan coast as an entrance into her gold
fields In the Klondike.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. S.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation. the Kansas grog-shop wrecker, in
vaded Missouri to-day, but she did not
smash a saloon. The death Shops" as she
calls them, took no chances, however; they
had men guard. The police were on the
lookout. and If the crusader had been in
clined to go on the warpath she would. ac-
cording to the authorities. have been treat
ed like any other lawbreaker. Some of the
saloons insured their fixtures. Over in
Kansas City, Kan, there was much uneasi-
ness among the ''jointists." or proprietors
of the "speak-easies'' and blind pigs" as
the saloons are sometimes called.
Mrs. Nation arrived here late this after
noon, attended by a delegation of Topeka
supporters and admirers, and tonight she
addressed a fair-sized audience at the
Academy of Music. f. w. Emerson, pastor
of the First Christian Church of Topeka.
introduced Mrs. Nation as ''the bravest and
noblest woman in Kansas" whereupon the
audience gave three rousing cheers for her.
Before beginning her address Mrs. Nation
requested the audience to rise and sing
Praise God, from whom all blessings
fow." She made characteristic talk, and
the audience enjoyed it and appeared to be
in sympathy with her. She justified her
crusade against the saloon by citing various
passages from the Bible, with which she
evinced great familiarity. She said that
she had just as much right to destroy the
joints of Missouri as she had to destroy
those of Kansas. She based this assertion
upon the clause in the Constitution of the
United States that insures TO every citizen
the right to peace, prosperity and the pur-
suit of happiness. She said the liquor traf-
flc was a menace to that right and that
every joint in the United States would be
smashed. She declared that she would not
molest the joints of Kansas City. Mo-, be-
cause it is too large a city. II don't pro-
pose TO bite off more than 1 can chew she
said. She made bitter attack upon the
landlords of the Joints saying they are
as bad as the jointists. After the lecture

AN AGREEMENT REACHED
NO CHANGE IN THE MINERS SCALE
FOR THE COMING YEAR.
Present Rates Adopted by the Joint
ators-To BE Approved To-Day.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb S-The general
scale committee of the interstate confer
ence of operators and miners. after pro-
tracted and stormy session tonight, de-
c:ded to recommend the present scale
agreement for another year, beginning
April l. A caucus of the miners dele
gates will be held at a. m. tomorrow
to approve the action of their representa-
tives, and the joint conference will meet
at 10 a. m. to ratify the agreement. There
is a possibility, one of the miner delegates
said tonight, that the report Of the scale
committee may not be accepted, but the
probability that such thing will hap
pen is very remote. The operators are all
satisfied, and II Is said a majority OF the
miners delegates are willing to accept the
present scale for another year.
The contention in the scale committee
tonight was chiefly between the Penn
sylvania operators and the miners. Pat
rick Dolan, president of the Pittsburg dis
trict, insisted that the dues OF members
Of the organization be checked off by the
operators. Operator Robbins strongly OPP
posed this proposition and Mr.. Dolan was
finally induced to withdraw 1t. The mo-
ton to reaffirm the present scale originated
with Operator III. n. Taylor, of Chicago.
after the Illinois operators had become
convinced that it would be hopeless to in
sist on their demands for an adjustment
OF prices and conditions throughout the
competitive district.

carried the flaming fluid over the town,
involving all the houses as far as Police
street The stream of fire was several
yards high. Numbers Of people were seen
attempting to escape while burning like
torches The total number of victims is
not ascertainable at present.
