The most conspicuous feature of the

the incidents which surrounded the
death of poor Isaac Ffnkelstein it is
evident to everyone who has followe1

May Choose Nicaragua Route.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Minister CO.
rea of Nicaragua called at the state
department yesterday and informed
Secretary Hay that his government is
ready to negotiate canal treaty on the
lines of the protocol signed last winter.
1t is now possible that such treaty
may be negotiated and sent to the sem

on the state department regarding the
canal. Colombia is still holding out
against a perpetual lease. claiming that
under her constitution territory can not
be alienated. The state department is
satisfied, from careful examination of
the constitution of that republic, that
this Is not correct Interpretation.
The Colombian Minister has been IN
formed that this government VIII

necessary for the construction and

LODGE HAS A PLAN.
Il assachusetts Senator Would Revise
Tariff on New Lines.

Washington, Nov. 21.-There will be
no serious effort made at the coming
session of congress to revise the tariff.
The republican leaders do not believe
there is any necessity for action going
further than the presidents recon-
1nendations for an investigation of the
araiff schedules to determine whether
there is ground for the complaint of ir-
regularities. Some do not believe 1T
necessary to go that far, but they are
ready to follow the president. His
plan is to recommend the creation of
q tariff commission, but he may change
that Recommendation to suggest an in
yestigation either by a committee of
congress or commission OF experts.
When the president began his consid-
Grafton of this question he was inclined
to believe that the tariff could be re-
moved from political controversy by
the creation of permanent tariff COM
mission Of experts. His talks with
members OF congress have convinced
him that this is not practicable, but he
still thinks that there should be some
investigation made to assure the public
that the party in power does not re-
gard tariff schedules as sacred, but is
ready to revise them whenever changed
conditions make changes in schedules
advisable that no Injustice may be done
to any particular interests.
Prominent members of congress now
In Washington, who have given the
eubject earnest consideration believe
that more satisfactory results would be
obtained from the work of a congress
sional commission than would come
from an outside body, even tho it
should be composed of tariff experts
and skilled economists. Some of the
republican members, like Mr.. Babcock
of wisconsin, insist that revision of the
tariff schedules should begin at once.
This radical view does not meet with
general approval, but the most popular
idea seems to be an examination of the
present tariff and its r1ation to exist
Ing business conditions to learn to what
extent revision is needed, if any.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,w who
is a strong protectionist. expresses the
conviction that congress must meet the
growing demand for an overhauling of
fhe traiff schedules. This work, he de-
cia,,es, must be undertaken by the
friends of protection and be prosecuted
in a manner that will not disturb the
business of the country. This, he be-

ate. The senate may amend or reject
if if is is not satisfactory. A treaty
with Nicaragua may also be sent to
the senate to leave that body free to
act on either provision of the Spooner
law, that there need be no long delay
in beginning the work on one route OF
the other. The administration is pro-
eeeding with the view that the gov
ernment is committed to building a
canal.
Colombia has had her opportunity to
secure the canal by the Panama route.
All the difficulties regs>iing the trans
fer of title have been removed save the
action of the Colombian government. II
that government continues to haggie
over the perpetual lease congress will
be left to choose the Nicaragua route,

sentimental instead of on a cold busl-
ness basis.
Il frankly told the congress that un-
til the workingmen of any country had
turned thier backs on illusionists and
extremists of every kind the oppres-
sive conditions of which they COM
plain would never be surmounted by
them. The British workingman is still
a strong opponent of labor saving ma
chinery. The satisfactory experience
of the United States workman with
these devices utterly fails to impress
his British brother. At the same time
I think the So called crisis in British
industry Is due less to the workfngmen
than to the capitalists, whose hide

John Bulls industrial decrepitude.

BOER RELIEF FUND
Correspondence Between Botha and
Chamberlain on the Subject Made
Public Today.

London, Nov. 21--A parliamentary
paper relating to the Boer generals ap-
peal to the world is published today. In
a letter to Botha, Chamberlain protests
against "exaggerations in the appeal"
and incorrect impressions conveyed
thereby and points out that in addi-
ton to gifts of sl5,O00,00o for relief of
the Beers, Great Britain had been
spending 100000 monthly since the
close of the war in maintaining burgher
camps as organizations to enable the
Ieople to return to their homes. Mr..
Chamberlain also suggests that large
sums We're remitted by the Transvaal
TO Europe. He says there must be a
large balance thereof remaining and
invites Botha's cooperation in finding
the persons to whom the money was en-
trusted and in recovering the balance
which he says Great Britain prepared
to add to the sums already provided for
the relief of the. burghers.
Botha in reply, says that until Cham
berlain made his speech on Nov. he
understood the $15.000,000 was partial
compensation for war losses. If he had
known 1t was solely for the relief OF
destitution the appeal in such a form
would not have been issued. The gen.
eral declares that he is unaware any
sums were remitted to Europe, as al
legged; that II such sums exist he would
be very glad to see them devoted to the
objects mentioned. He concludes with
congratulatory reference to Cham
berlain's approaching trip to South At
rica and an expression of his wish that
the controversy regarding the past
could be ended and that both sides ad-
dress themselves entirely to the neces-
stiles of the nresert and future.

SPEAR THRU HIS NECK
shipbuilding EmpIoye Meets With
Strange and Terrible Accident, But
May Recover.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. 21.-John
Leonard, of Groton, an employe of the
shipbuilding company, has been spear
ed by ten foot strip Of wood that flew
from circular saw. The lance-like
missile struck him in the throat, passed
entirely thru the neck and eighteen
inches of wood projected behind his
right ear. Companions sawed off the
greater part Of the stick and Leonard
walked to a building in the yard. The
physicians found the stick had passed
between the muscles and important
vessels of the throat and neck. 1t was
impossible to withdraw it without dan
ger of killing Leonard. All the muscles
on one side of the neck had to be cut
and the spear removed from the side.
Leonard probably will recover.

100 Per Cent or More to Be Made on
Investments.
New York, Nov. 20.-The best posted
and most conservative grain men in
New York and Chicago are unanimous
in the opinion that the time is ripe for
substantial advance in the price of
wheat; and the increased activity in
the market for the past few days shows
that they are acting on their opinion.
Many articles have been published
supporting these opinions; the best and
most comprehensive, however, is a let
ter just issued by the well-known house
of William M. Townsend & Bro, Pro-
duce Exchange building, New York,
which is recognized authority on the
consumption, production and distribu-
ton of wheat. Many reasons are ad-
vanced by them for higher prices, and
altogether they form logicapa and most
convincing argument; they also present
facts of so startling nature as to
cause extreme restlessness among the
bears on grain.
The letter is issued for free distribu-
ton, and can be had on application.

STOLE RAILWAY IRON.
Thief Arrested at Waterloo Charged
With Stealing Iron from illinois Gen.


tral.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Nov. 21.-Illinois Central
detective Welsh, with the aid of Mar
shall Simmerling and the local police,
has just succeeded in unearthing ex-
tensive thefts of Illinois Central rail-
way iron and brass. AS result OF his
Investigations August B. Brickner,
whose home is at Apple River, ILL.,, but
who has been making his home with
George Smith on Salisbury street, is
now behind the bars awaiting trial.
It is claimed that Brickner has stolen
$500 pounds of railway iron and over
200 pounds of brass journals, most OF
the latter having been disposed Of.
Brickner in a partial confession to Mr..
Welsh claims to have purchased the
iron and brass from Louis Vose. The
facts develop that Brickner had show
ed Vose the iron in an Illinois Central
box car, 24,964, and asked him to as
sist in hauling it away. Instead, Vose
notified the police, and the car was
watched for two nights with no devel-
opments. Mr.. Welsh pursued his in
vestigations and secured evidence suf-
f1cient to warrant the arrest of Brick
ner. 1t was discovered that he had
disposed of a number of broken jour-
nails to a man named Lockbee near
Cedar Falls, who acknowledged buying
the brass and leaving it at VOLTS junk
shop, where 1t was identified by the Of
ficers
Brickner in his admission to Welsh
claimed to have hauled the $500
pounds Of iron from vose's place to
Smiths in three trips on a two wheeled
cart, which is regarded by the officers
as improbable.
Besides the material stolen from the
Central there is supposed to be a num-
Der of brass journals from the Great
Western in the lot. Brickner's pecula-
tions are supposed to extend over quite
a period of time and the officers have
been busy on the case for number of
weeks.
He failed to secure bail and is now
in Jail awiting his hearing, which is
set for next Tuesday before Justice
Kuhns. Two charges are lodged
against Brickner and he will be tried
for stealing the iron first.
The officers have evidence that he
also endeavored to dispose of the ma
terial to two other parties. in both cases
