Protocol With Reference to Nicara-
guam Canal.
AGREEMENT SIGNED With MANkGUA
Perpetual Lease of a Zone Six
Miles Wide.
ESTI ATE OF TIL E COST

1t is expected that an official copy Of the
protocol recently signed at Managua in re-
gard to the projected Nicaraguan canal
will be received at the State Department
in a few days. Some of the main features
Of the protocol have been made known in
recent press dispatches from Managua.
But there are many other important fea-
lures which have not yet been disclosed,
one of these being the complete American
jurisdiction, and the establishment of
American courts, civil and criminal,
throughout the territory six miles wide
and extending from ocean to ocean. The
entire policing of this large tract is also
placed in the hands of the United States,
so that 1t has the power to preserve order,
and after that to issue judicial process
extending throughout this zone
The protocol is understood to cover some
eighteen articles and to have most of the
essential features Of a treaty. But in form
it is a protocol, binding the two countries
on the main terms of the treaty which will
be concluded after Congress has passed a
canal bill. In the meantime the protocol
gives assurance of what the terms of the
treaty will be.
Perpetual Lease.
Besides the authority of American courts
and of the American police on the six-mile
zone, the chief features Of the protocol
consist in giving a lease in perpetuity of
this tract to the United States, and at the
same time giving an American guarantee
that the independence, sovereignty and in
tegrity of Nicaragua shall not be disturbed
by the rights thus conferred upon the
United States. The perpetual feature of
the concession to this country and the
complete authority of our courts and po-
lice give assurance that the zone will be
American in every practical sense. At the
same time it takes in consideration the con-
stitutional provision in Nicaragua against
such a cession of territory would en-
danger the independence of the republic.
The Cost.
No exact information is obtainabIe as to
the price specified in the protocol as pay
ment to Nicaragua for the grant to this
country. 1t can be stated positively, how
ever, that this price is much less than was
expected when the negotiations began, and
that it is considered by officials as alto
gether reasonable.
1t is understood that at the outset the
view in Nicaragua was that $40, 600 900
would be a proper figure for the grant to
this country and about $500, 600 for Costa
Rica'S grant. But while there Is no infor-
nation as to the final sum in the protocol,
it is known to be far short of the above
figure. AS the cession takes the form Of a
perpetual lease, it is probable that the pro-
tocol includes the feature of an annual rent
as part payment.
Protocol With Costa Rfca.
A protocol with Costa Rica identical in
form with that with Nicaragua except in
the matter Of price and territory leased, has
been in course of negotiation, and 1t Is un-
derstood that the same satisfactory con-
clusion will be reached with that govern
ment as has been brought about with Mic
aragua.

RtSSIA'S DEAL WITH CHINA.
Boxer Movement to BE Supported
Manchuria the Quid Pro Quo

LONDON, January 3.-The Times this
morning publishes three alleged secret doc
uments communicated by DIR. Ular,
prominent student of Chinese affairs, who
recently returned TO Europe from Manchu-
ria and Mongolia, which go to prove the
existence of bargain negotiated between
the late Ii Hung Chang and Russia through
the medium of the Russian Prince Ukh-
tomsky. Under the terms of this bargain
the Boxer movement, which, it Is hinted
was fomented by Russia, was to be turned
against the foreigners, Russia engaging to
protect the dowager empress against the
western powers in return for permission to
occupy Manchuria and a very free hand in
Mongolia.
Commenting editorialy on this matter
the Times says it sees nothing in the recent
history of Russian action in the far east in
consistent with The story contained in the
documents supplied by DR.. Ular.

the War Department has changed it's plans
in regard to the transportation of teachers

John Alexander Dowie, who would not
swear in Judge Tuley's court at Chicago
that he was the second Elijah, loudly pro-
claimed to his followers on a recent Sun
day that as elijah restored" he would
never die. Speaking of the receivership
litigation he said: eve will fight and we
will fight until we win. If Zion should
be stripped Of money to-day, in a week
it would be as strong as ever, for there
are those who would give up their last
dollar. Others have done it,
Dowie, it is said, is about to shake
the dust of Chicago from his carriage
wheels and go to live in Zion City, Lake
County, where taxes are lower. AS the
preliminary step to his change of resi-
dence Dowie has reorganized his church,
giving up the old Central Tabernacle in
Michigan avenue and establishing fifteen
minor tabernacles in different sections
Of Chicago.
Il am tired Of this unjust taxation"
shouted Dowie to his followers. "Chi-
cago differentiates between Zion and the
other churches of this city, and l will
stand it no longer. There is no more rea-
son why Zion is not church in the legal
sense than why the other denominations
are so classed. | will not have it taxed
to fill the Golfers of the county when
they go free"

100000 bushels Of wheat have been har-
vested by them for export and they have
received $12,00O,000 more this year than
they realized in 1900. One farmer pro-
duced $4,000 bushels Of wheat, besides
oats and barley, and another put in 49,
900 bushels Of wheat and 10000 bushels
of barley. SO enormous is the quantity
Of produce which the railways are called
upon to move that they are congested.
Manitoba alone had a grain crop Of So,
179,S5S bushels.
The benefits to accrue from this unpre-
cedented crop in western Canada will be
felt all over the Dominion. The extra
money which the farmers have received
is being used for the payment of mort
cages, the extension Of barns and sta
bles, the taking up Of more land, and the
introduction into the home circle of many
accessories of refinement which have
been wanting hitherto, and to-day the
piano is the possession of nearly every
well-to-do farmers daughter.

DARING BANK ROBBERY.

Six Masked Robbers Loot Vaults at
East ST. Louis Stock Yards.
Six masked men entered the National
Stock Yards Bank, north Of East St.
Louis, H., Monday night, and after cap
turing and gagging the two night watch
men and fremen at the plant and blow
ing open the vaults with dynamite, took
So, 900 In coin and currency, with which
they decamped.
For nine hours-from o'clock Monday
night until o'clock Tuesday morning
they were at work on the vaults without
meeting interference. The bank watch
man was bound hand and foot and gag
ged with towels.
With nitroglycerin the robbers blew
omen the steel doors of the vault. These
doors, of a double thickness of steel,
were shattered and the banks books and
papers were torn into shreds. Entering
the vault, the big steel safe, with quad
ruple plate doors, was encountered.
These were drilled and a charge Of the
explosive inserted, which blew them off.
The explosion destroyed more books and
papers and scattered about 5000 in gold
and silver on the floor. This money was
not taken by the robbers. They took all
the currency and the other coin, amount
ing to about $1,000, as nearly as the
hanks officers can estimate.

VALE THE DEcOLLETE.
Wife of the President Planning Revo-
luton in Dress.

A dress revolution is in progress in
Washington, the effect Of which is to be
the total extinction OF the decollete gown.
Washington ladies, without distinction of
position, have appeared at dinners in the
regulation decollete gown. Quips and
sneers at this full dress, or undress, have
been unavailing to compel the ladies to
raise the superstructure of their gowns
by an inch, but Mrs. Roosevelt and her
associates propose that while the gown
itself shall not be tempered with, jack
ct or dinner coat shall become a proper
and fashionable mode of keeping the
shoulders warm. The lamented Mrs.
Gage was a champion Of this reform, and
many Of her companions in the cabinet
assert that her death is attributable to
a cold contracted at dinner party.
1t seems that the ambassadors, ENJOYS
and army and navy officers who attend

WRECK OF THE ASPHALT TRUST
Philadelphia InvestorsWi11 LoseA bout
Twenty Millions, 1t Is Figured.

The asphalt trust is busted. Receivers
have been appointed for the National AS
phalt Company, capital $22,000,0OO, and
the Asphalt Company of America, cap
tia S30,000,000. 1t is said Philadelphia
investors will lose $20000,000.
From papers submitted in the applica-
ton for a receivership, it appears the
company is confronted with no better
prospect than that of an annual deficit
of about $1,500,000. Excessive capital
ization, predicated upon overconfdence
and false promises on the part Of the
organizers, seems to be the cause Of the
trusts downfall.
Commissioner of Public Works Nc
Gam of Chicago, an expert on asphalt,
says the application for a receiver Is a
trick of the trust to get the company in
the hands of the federal court and secure
the backing of the government to the
claims of the trust in the Venezuelan
asphalt deposit.
