The Nicaraguan Protocol.

Washington, Jan. 3-Some OF the
features of tie protocol between the
United States and Nicaragua referred
to in President Zelaya's message to
his Congress have been made known
in recent press dispatches from Man
aqua. But there are many other I'M
porSant features which have not yet
been disclosed, one of these being
the complete American jurlsdictloD'
and the establishment of American
courts, civil and criminal, throughout
q zone six miles wide and extending
from ocean to ocean, and including
the proposed termiLl, Greytown on
the Atlantic and Brito on the Pa
ci6c. The entire policing OF this
large tract is also placed in the hands
of the United States 80 that it has
the power to preserve order and at
ter that to issue Judicial process ex-
tending throughout this zone.
Besides the authority of American
courts and of the American police
on the six mile zone the chief feat
ures of the protocol are IN giving
lease in perpetuity OF this tract to the
United States and at the same time
giving an American guarantee that
the independence, sovereignty, and
integrity of Nicaragua shall not be
disturbed by the rights thus con-
ferred upon the United States.
No exact information is obtainsble
SIS to the price specified in the proto-
col as to payment to Nicaragua for
the grant to this country. It can be
stated positively, this price is much
less that was expected when negotia-
tions began, and that it is considered
BY officials as reasonable. It is un-
derstood that at the outset the view
in Nicaragua was that S20,OOO,O0O
would be the proper figure for the
grant to this country. and about
$6,OO0,000 for Costa Rica's grant.
But while there is no information as
to the final sum in the protocol, it is
known to be far short of the above
figures. As the cession takes the
form of a perpetual lease, it is prob
able that the protocol includes the
feature of an annual rent as part
payment.
A protocal with Costa Rica, iden-
tical in form with that which Mica
ragua, except in the price and terri
tory lease, has been in course of ne
gotiation, and it is understood that
satisfactory conclusion will be reach
ed with that government.

settle Miners Trouble.
Indianapolis. July 22.-It is said now
that the miners have defined their po-
sition, the civic feredation will make
another appeal to the coal operators
to arbitrate.
President Mitchell expects to leave
for Wilkesbarre to-day oil Tuesday.
The care of the national organization
now will be to see to the collection OF
the defense fund, with which to carry
on the strike. Secretary Wilson, who
is the financial head of the union, will
be in charge of this work, and will lose
no time in preparing TO handle the
funds. 1t is believed that all the vol
untary contributions from the various
districts and subdistricts and local or
CARNATIONS will be paid into his hands
within the ext ten days. These con-
t-ibutions are estimated at about $500,
900. A part of the contribution money
has already been paid. The Ohio men
before leaving turned over to Secretary
Wilson a check for their $4,000. The
$50, 900 from Illinois is expected to ar
rive to-day. Indiana and Iowa are ex-
pected to make their donations at once,
and the other districts will do the
same. A systematic method VIII De
adopted for c~anvassing
For Outside subscriptions
in the large cities. The miners hope to
raise $3.50, 900 a week from the public
contributions, as that much will be
needed to bring the sum up to $500, 900.
Their exact plan OF raising the sub
scriptions has not been determined
Upon, as President Mitchell declared
the convention is Of too recent date to
have allowed much time for arranging
such details. IT is possible however,
the central labor unions in all cities
where such organizations exist will be
asked to take charge of the raising OF
subscriptions which will be forwarded
at once TO Secretary-Treasurer Wilson,
In some Of the largest cities of the
country, such as Chicago, New YORK.
Philadelphia and others, headquarters
will be established from which the
work will be conducted n commit
tees will be appointed to make the IAN
vass.
Some aid is expected to come from

Sioux Falls, s. D., July ga murder
mystery of sever or eight years stand

authorities of Bon Homme county.
Seven or eight ear ago a Mrs. Ku-
cera. wife Of a Bohemian farmer living
In the northwestern part of Bon
Homme county, disappeared, and the
husband claimed hat she had eloped
with a neighbor. AS 1t was known the
couple IA frequently quarreled, peo-
pie Of the vicinity became OF h opin-
ion that the woman had been murdered
by her husband. but her body could not
be found. Kucera was not arrested.
After the disappearance of his wife
Kucera sold his valuable farm, but has
since remained in the neighborhood.
The other day while a pile of stones
near the former home OF Kucera and
his wife were being removed the skele-
ton of a woman. supposed to be that OF
the unfortunate Mrs. Kucera, was un-
covered. having been buried under
meath the pile. So strong is the belief
that the remains are those of Mrs.

husband that Kucera has been arrest
ed on the charge OF murder. He has
been lodged in the county jail TO await
his trial at the next term of the state
