LABOR IN NICARAGUA.
It's Relations to Capital Regulated by
Law

The State Department made public today
a report from Consul Donaldson. at Ma
nagua. upon a law of the Ncaraguan gov
eminent regulating and defining labor in
it's relations with capital. The law went
into effect on June 80 last.
A laborer Is defined as any person. male
or female, over sixteen years old not hav
ing a capital of 500. All laborers found
without employment will be imprisoned for
twenty years. If laborer desires money in
advance his employer may give 1t to him
only as loan without interest, to be paid
by retaining one-haf Of the salary or wages
until the debt is paid. A laborer leaving
his employer without satisfactory settle
ment of his debt will be imprisoned, fined
and obliged to return and work 1t out.
The consul says the purpose of this law
is. first. to do away with the practice of
advancing wages to labOrers on contract,
which made the laborer slave until he
settled his accounts. and. second. to pre-
vent idleness and viciousneSs by obliging
every one without capital to be employed.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS
The President Indisposed to Any Ac-
ton for the Present.

President Roosevelt has resumed consid-
Grafton of the coal strike situation but
from the best that can be learned this is
not for the purpose Of taking any imme-
date action. 1t is for the purpose of learn
ing the exact situation. that he may act
intelligently whenever II is in his power to
do so. Carroll D. Wright commissioner OF
labor, was with the President nearly half
an hour today. After Mr.. Wright had sub
mitted to John Mitchell on Monday at Phil
adeiphia the proposition Of the President
that the miners resume work the commits
sioner OF labor went to Boston on business
not at all connected with the strike. He re-
turned here this morning. and called upon
the President to discuss with him any mat
ter the President had in mind Commits
sioner Wright had already reported to the
President the facts of the conference with
Mr.. Mitchell. and there was no detail of
this to be gone into. Mr.. Mitchell had re-
ceived the proposition without comment.
The President is understood to have in
quired OF Mr.. Wright further in regard to
the arbitration law Of 1888. comforting GER
tain powers upon the Interstate commerce
commission and the commissioner of labor
in the set Element of labor troubles involving
common carriers. 1t Is not the opinion of
either the President or Mr.. Wright that this
law pertains in the slightest degree to the
Pennsylvania coal strike, but the President
is acquiring to the fullest extent all the
information to be had on every phase OF
the law and the possible legal openings for
governmental interference.
Mr.. Wright has no representative in the
coal fields looking up more facts about the
strike, reported, and Is giving no con-
sideration to the subject except when called
upon by the President So far as Mr..
Wright knows, the executive has power
Of interference. He has not been in touch
with the miners or operators, and conse-
quently does not know their views.
The suggestions that the President may
determine to investigate the coal strike by
means of commission appointed by him
continue to be made, but there is no official
basis for such reports. The belief prevails
that the President will withhold any pro-
jected movement pending developments of
the next few days in New York.

TO EN- THE STRIFE
WILL COMMUNICATE WITH IN
sURGENT COMMANDER.

PANAMA Colombia, October "a con-
ference between the government repre-
sentatives and Rear Admiral Casey took
place yesterday. The admiral subsequently
said the object of the conference was TO
see If the government and the revolution
lists could come to some amicable settle
ment, arrange the basis for such an
agreement. He could not say much on the
subject for he had only heard one side OF
the question. He considered however that
the terms offered in President Marrauin's
amnesty decree were liberal.
His only idea in comforting with the au-
thGitieS here was TO end the strife. which
he considered unpatriotic. for 1t not only
ruins the country. but delays the steps be-
Ing taken looking TO the completion of the
canal
He did not from the arguments he had
heard that there was much difference in
lomban parties. except in matters relative
to the church.
Admiral Casey is studying the terms
which the government offered, and IN a day
two will send communication 10 Gen.
eral Herrera. the revolutionary commander
expressing his views OF the situation and
will propose that the general hold a confer
ence with General Salazar. the government
commander.
Admiral Casey received last Saturday
General Herrera's answer to Commander
McLean's communication notifying the gen.
eJai that the United States had assumed
control OF the railroad line, but he would
not divulge the contents OF the Letter n
copy OF which he sent to Washington Ac-
cording 70 report General Herrera's note is
couched IN very strong and offensive iaa-

Maintaining Free Transit.

Regarding his refusal to allow the Colon
ban government to transport troops on the
railroad. the admiral said the United
States had taken this action In order to
maintain free transit He knew General
Herrera would not dare to interfere with
trains flying the American flag but he
thought that if the government We're per-
mitted To transport troops or war material
along the line IL would be provoking to the
revolutionists and might cause an Interrupt
ton Of traffic. 1t is reported that the lib
erals. to the number of 500 to 1000 men.
have camp back of the Empire station
and 1t Is claimed In behalf OF Admiral Casey
that IL the government reinforcements are
very DESTROYS OF reaching Panama they can
march here from Colon.
1t IS not known how long the United
States forces will prevent the government
from using the trains To transport troops.
but 1t is admitted that Admiral Casey viii
not allow Gen Herrera to lombard Pana-
ma, and 1t Is asserted that IL the revolu-
tionary gunboat Padilla comes within q
limit assigned by the American admiral the
latter will sink her.
On the other hand. he will not permit the
government gunboats to provoAe the Pa
diila Into venturing within the limit re-
ferred to.

1t seems very clear, therefore, that a
suit would lie against the members of the
United Mine Workers Association as a
combination in restraint of interstate COM
morce within the act of July q 1880. and
that a preliminary Injunction would be
granted which could be enforced by all the
power of the national governm This
precise course was followed In the Debs
case and was supported by the courts not
merely on account of interference with the
mails, but also on the ground of restraint
OF shipments from one state to another

QUEER TRAVELS OF PLANTS.
noeberGs assA Volcanoes Aot rs Dis
GriButinE Agents for Various
GROwths.

One would not imagine, eh.hand,
that ice could possibly be instru-
mental in accomplishing the distribu-
ton of plants, yet French scientist
has recently called attention to the
fact that icebergs are frequently use
full in this way. Navigators in polar
seas often encounter bergs carrying
enormous masses of debris, with
more or less soil, in which plants are
growing. Eventually the ice-mass
runs aground upon the shore OF some
distant land, there depositing the
plants, which may hnd themselves so
situated as to be enabled to repro
duce their species, says the Philadel-
phia Saturday Evening Post.
The case of volcanoes as plant-dis-
tributors is even more remarkable,
though one must regard as very ex-
ceptional such instances as that
noted at Port Elizabeth, South Afri-
ca, in 1887, where large quantities OF
volcanic pumice were observed float
ing on the sea. On these fragments
of pumice were found various small
animals unfamiliar in that part OF
the world, and there was also sort
of cocoanut. The nut was planted,
and in due time produced a palm
strange to the African coast. 1t was
decided that the pumioe came from
the great eruption of Krakatoa, in
the Straits of Sunda, which was In
its way the most remarkable volcanic
cataclysm of modern times.

ENGINE AS A BooTJACK.
Novel Manner in Which n FroSt-htt-
ten BrakemRn's Boots We're
Taken on.

cit isn't often that you hear OF q
man using a locomotive for boot
jack" said Conductor Frank Ora, OF
the Delaware division of the Erie rail-
road, according to recent report
"but here's one case:
"Walt Douglas, brakeman on my
coal train, set out one dark night to
flag a passenger train just west OF Han
cock. He was out In the bitter cold
for long while, and when he came
back his fingers and ears were badly
frozen.
after we had got some whisky
down him and had rubbed his hands
and ears in snow we tried to remove
his boots, but his feet were 80 badly
frozen that they could not be pulled
off. Douglas is an economical cusS
and he would not let US cut them oil his
feet. He said that the boots had cost
him seven dollars week before and
he could not afford to lose them so
soon, even If by so doing he would be
relieved of his sufferings
at was finally agreed to take Doug
las out on the engine, stiok his boot
heels between the slots OF the plot
and then back up.
"When everything was ready the en-
gineer reversed the engine, while we
chung to Coleman's arms and shout
ders. The boots came off quick enough,
but Douglas legs came so near going
With them that there was no fun in it. !"

COOK IN HEAT OF VOLCANOES.
New ZeaIanders Make Use of Subter-
rnnean Heat In n Singular
Manner.

The Maoris of New Zealand cook
their potatoes and other vegetables
in volcanic heat. There are few
volcanoes III New Zealand, and some
of the Maoris live up in the mountains
near them. They make the volcanoes
do several useful things for them,
but the queerest is the cooking, says
the Detroit Free Press. A few of the
volcanoes have a sort of periodic ac-
ton. They heat up the ground in
the fall and then lie idle the remain
der of the year. Those volcanoes are
of quiet disposition and never break
loose, but they heat the ground just
enough to do the native cooking.
The plan of the Maoris is to dig pit
about five or six feet deep and bed
1t with straw. Then they put in their
vegetables, filing up the pit quite
full, and then cover it over with more
straw and then layer of earth. And
then they go away and lie low. Then
the volcano begins to heat up and
gets in it's fine work, and the pota-
toes and mangoes cook. The natives
let them stay there for long time
after the heat departs from the
earth, take them out whenever they
want them, and eat them. So the
earth is at once q stove and store

FLIES SPREADING TYPHOID.
Insects Are Chief Cause OF Mortality
Among British Troops In South
Africa.

A British army surgeon who has long
been at the front in South Africa writes
an interesting letter TO London med
ical journal from Harrowsmith. de
expresses the conviction that flies have
a great deal more to do with the raw
ages of typhoid fever than has been
generally suspected. He believes that
they are the chief cause of the fearful
mortality from the pest in South Al
RIGA. He argues that inasmuch as ma
ture has designed them TO convey pol
len on their legs from one plant to an
other, it is only reasonable to suppose
that they are equally capable Of carry
ing and distributing the germs OF dis
ease. He points out as a remarkable
fact that, although there was a terri
BILE outbreak of enteric in Ladysmith
during the famous siege, when flies
abounded everywhere, there was none
last year, when there was also nota-
BILE absence of flies. This latter phe-
nomenon he ascribes to the treatment
of all meat and other articles pecul-
iarIy attractive to these winged nui-
sances with some sort of chemical
preparation which effectually kept
them off. The pernicious activity OF
the fly obviously would make him
most efficient agent for the diffusion OF
poisonous microbes.
