NICARAGUA MAY
PROFIT BY NOTICE.

of Colombia is that the canal situation has
become very much confused. There is no
doubt that the advocates OF the Nieara-
qua route are very much encouraged over
the condition which has apparently been
brought about by Colombia s notification
to the Panama shareholders.
Mr.. Hepburn's Views.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa. the
author of the Nicaraguan canal bill, which
was recently passed by the House. is in
clined to say II told you So" with ref
erence 20 the Colombian Government
move.
1T simply shows he said yesterday,
what we have contended all along that
those Panama people had nothing te sell
US and could not make us a genuine Of
fer. They were simply experimenting.
ut proves. also. as we have insisted
from the first. that to attempt to take
over the Panama's project would involve
us in interminable difficulties. litigations,
and negotiations.
1T is more evident than ever that the
way to get an isthmian canal Is to pass
the Nicaraguan canal bill and begin
building the waterway"
1t is now understood that Senator Nor
gan. of Alabama. the most ardent advo-
cate OF the Nicaragua route IN the Sem
ate. is willing to accept the Hepburn bill
without amendment, although when 1t was
passed he was opposed to some Of it's pro-
visions.
Danger to Proposition.
In this disposition Of Senator Morgan
lies the greatest danger to the PROPOSE
ton to the purchase Of the Panama Canal.
The danger Of long delay in securing
adjustment of the difficulties between the
Panama Canal Company and the Colom-
bian Government will strengthen the po-
sitiou Of the Nicaragua route advocates.
particularly because OF the desire of the
Administration and a majority of the
members Of both houses to have soma
canal legislation at this session.
Under the terms Of It's arrangement with
Colombia, the Panama Canal Company
need not dispose of its interests until
1910, and 1t can therefore prevent the
Colombian Government from making any
definite arrangements with the United
States until then.

At last q messenger was sent to the
the prince that all was clear ahead, and
that the train would go on. Prince Henry
did not wait to put on his overcoat. and
in a jiffy was down on the track sprinting
at a lively pace over the ties toward the
engine.

There is no occasion to hurry, sir.

as he passed. There is plenty Of time"
''Oh, but / do not want to keep you

pausing, and he was quickly back in his
place on the engine.
1t was afterward learned that he might
be on the engine when high speed was
made. The winding curves along this part
OF the western Allegheny slo2e were not
favorable to any very swift running. and
although Gilchrist let out his engine for
a bit. he still had to keep curb on her.
Big Engine Swaps.
Even the big engine swayed and lurched
as she took the curves in a way that was
little dreamed Of by those who were in
the massive Pullmans that were gliding
so smoothly over the rails.
The first object of interest that was
passed at Portage was the long line Of
westbound express trains held up at VIII
more by the wreck. which was but short
distance to the west of that station. The
first indication Of the smashup which
came into view as the train approached
the spot was a badly battered engine cow
catcher uptilted against a telegraph pole.
Good View of the Wreck.
Just beyond it were the blazing remains
of the wrecked cars. Prince Henry
crossed to the engineers side and leaned
out from between the engine and the ten
der to get good look at the burning
wreck. the smoke of which for a time
made the air blue back in the cars of
the train.
At Bradensburg the train came to a
halt to let Prince Henri get off The en-

Tuesday morning q few minutes be- fore 2 o'clock groans were heard to issue from the rooms occupied by M w. Stewart at the Wilcox hotel. w. E. McComb, the proprietor, and sev- eral guests rushed into the room and found him unconscious. Medical as sistance was immediately summoned but his condition was beyond all med ical skill and a few moments after II o'clock he passed away.

SUIT ON A BOND
Claims Damages for the Seizure of
 Exempt Property

A suit for damages was begun iI dis trict court yesterday by Attorney N. N. Sleeves for J. P. Burford against Con- stable D. P. Kyle on his official bond. His bondsmen are Joseph Cope and Peter Ellingson. Tn the latter part Of the last month the defendant attached a lot of property belonging to the plain tiff, which property is alleged in the complaint to have been exempt The plaintiff owed Justice Gray his son. fandant sums of money aggregating $1SS.10. About May 23 he told them he was going away and had no money. or rot enough money, to pay his debts. He said he had money at Tucson which had been placed to his credit by w. c. Greene, by whom he had been employed. and he signed q draft for the amount Ee owed Cope. Justice Gray, James Gray and the defendant. The draft was put into the Valley bank for collection and the plaintiff started over land with his wife for the Colorado river.
 After he had gone his creditors be- came suspicious of the draft and suit was begun against him by Joseph Cope, to whom all the claims had been as signed. An attachment was issued and served by the defendant. who overlook the plaintiff twenty miles west of the city. All of his property, consisting of horses and wagon, provisions, blankets, etc. was levied upon and brought back to town. The suit was subsequently tried in the court of Justice Burnett. The draft in the meantime had been sent on to Tucson fer collection and had been paid. Judgment was therefore given Burford, and the plaintiffs ap- pealcd. This suit is not brought on the ground that the property ought not to have been attached by reason of the debt having been discharged, but be- cause by law it was exempt from seizure and because at the time of the ievyng of the attachment the plaintiff had informed the officer that it was of less value than $500 the amount all lowed the head of a family by law.
 The plaintiff seeks to recover eX- emplary damages from the principal defendant in the sum of 5000 and from him with each of his bondsmen $1,OO0 or 5000 in all.

Shenandoah, Pa, June 21.-There was an exciting demonstration in the vicinity of the Lehigh Valley Coal com pany'S four collieries on Lost creek, two morning about 500 men and boys gath cred at this place, threw stones and roughly handled several non-union men and clubbed the coal and iron police men. The sheriff of Schuylkill county finally dispersed the crowd.
 The crowd was attracted to the col leries by the importation of new men to take the places Of the strikers. Deputy sheriffs were hurried to the place from Pottsville and after the riot act had been read the crowd was per suaded to disperse. Shortly after o'clock the mob gathered again and several workmen were attacked as they used up. The coal and iron policemen who came to their rescue were stoned and clubbed, but were not seriously hurt
 The superintendent of the colliery would not allow the men to make any move or use their revolvers and in . short time the crowd scattered. In the meantime word was sent to Wilkes barre and twenty-five coal and iron policemen were sent down and arrived there shortly after : o'clock. They were hcoted. but not attacked.

Boston, June 21.-Freight traffic on the New York and New Haven road out of Boston is king new record At no time has the business reached it's present volume, and the indications are that still higher figures will be reach ed In order to meet the demands of this rapid expansion the company re- gently placed an order for 1000 steel frame box cars. with a capacity of S0,- 000 pounds each.
 Nearly 100 of these cars have already been delivered and are in service. For merly 30G00 pounds was the limit of the weight carried by the company's freight cars, and it will readily be seen that the company's new equipment means considerably more than 1000 of the Cld style cars.

UNION PACIFIC
 LAYS DOWN LAW
Its BOiIsr Makers Will Work
 Monday CT Never
Four Hun red and Twenty Men laid Off Yesterday on Account of the Strike-It is Possible the Trouble Will Extend to the Machinists.

Omaha, June 21.-The Union Pacific this evening posted notice in the
 shops notifying 2j0 men of their re- lease from employment for the present, on account of the strike of the boiler
 makers. The men were also notified
 that if any of the others were aggriev- ed at the action taken by the read and
 refused to report for duty on Monday morning. they would be discharged and
 not reinstated under any claims.
 The officials of the road this after noon stated that tkis action on the part of the road was necessary, as the strike
 of the boiler makers had crippled the
 ether work and it was impossible to keep ether men employed as long as the strike continued. They also say
 that the company is in good condition for engines, and that fe ware await ing repairs.
 The boiler makers were also notified today that they will have until Mon day morning to return to work. Those Whc refuse, it is stated, will be barred permanently from further employment by the road. It is believed by some
 that this action on the part oi the company will precipitate strike among the machinists.
 Grand President McNeil is expected in the city from Topeka. Members of the local union. it is stated, will take
 no action until the chief arrives.
 The Omaha situation on the Union
 Pacific took a more serious turn to- night than it has assumed at any time
 since the difficulty began. Five hun
 dred and twenty-five shopmen are now | discharged as the direct result of the strike of the boiler makers. and were told by the officials that the wholesale
 discharge was caused by the lack Of work, resultant from the To, kout or Wednesday. Of this number 225 are employed in local shops, 209 at Arm strong, i<as.. and 100 at the Cheyenne
 shops. Tomorrow President McNeil. of i the BCiler Makers union. and Grand | Organizer Mclean. will meet with the strikers, machinists and sympathizers
 tC determine future action.
