a New Canal Trouble.

And now Il turn, ont that Uncle
sam will have more trouble regarding
the Nicaraguan canal than he counted
upon. The governments Of Nicaragua
and Costa Eica Will demand an i'm
portant share in the control of the
waterway. W. ID. Cameron, a promi-
ncnt English engineer, has lately ar
rived IN New York from Central Amer
lea, and SAYS that the canal is regarded
as n valuable Conccse ION, and its con-
troll must lie shared in or paid for by a
large indemnity. The interest taken
in the matter by the people could not
he greater, and the governments cannot
part with the rights they claim with
ont revolution.
TO further cOmplicate matters prom
inent citizens of Costa RIca have
bought up low lands on their side
the river which will he flooded by the
construction CT the great dam across
the San Juan, and will demand large
indem nifty for flooding their property.
The claim made 10y the kodak
fend for pension, who received Il
slight wound, presumably from the
enemy, while leveling his lense on the
firing line, vetoed by Cleveland while
President, is parallelled by one lately
made in a special pension bill now
pending in Congress for relief of n
Michigan man who was born a cripple
during the war of the rebellion. The
claimants elder brother was in the
war and was reported to have been
killed in an important engagement.
The report afterwards proved to be
false, but the shock which it caused
to the lads mother was so severe that
her next child was born a cripple.
This is the present claimant for pen
sion, who has never had the use of his
lower limbs, owing, as he claims, to
his brothers service in the army and
the act of the government in errone-
ously reporting his death.

SEATTLE'S TRADE FOR A YEAR.-The
Pr estimates the volume OF Seattle's
wholesale and retail trade, the past
year, at total OF fifty millions Of dol
lars. This seems large, but Seattle is
capable of great things, and when we
remember that the retail and jObbiug
houses ran night and day during the
Spring and Summer months to sup
ply the immense demand for miners
outfits for the Alaskan fields, we are
willing to admit that it may be with
in bounds. The grocery trade is ac-
credited with 100000 of the aggre-
gate; clothing and dry goods, $6O0O,-
900; flour, hay, grain and feed, 50, $780,
600; packing house products, 81, &c.
600; hardware, $3,OOO,O00; heavy ma.
chinery, 100000, and fresh meats,
81 100000. Seattle's export trade is
likewise assuming splendid proper
tions, trade with the Orient having
doubled within the past year. Five
years ago it had no existence. The
arrival of the Mike Maru in 1896
opened up this field of enterprise,
since which time 50 vessels have ar
rived and departed, and the exports by
them have aggregated more than $ll,-
