MOBILE, Ala, Sept. Is. The dispute
between the republics Of Nicaragua and

Honduras troops have been withdrawn from

Of ill-feeling between the two countries
because OF the alleged encroachment OF
Nicaragua on territory claimed by Hon
duras along the south bank Of the Wanks
River. The central point OF the dis
puted territory was Fort Dietrich, while the
chief contention was over the rights that
are now enjoyed by the United States and
Nicaraguan Company, Pittsburg syndicate,
under q copcession for which the American
company paid 100000 to tho Nicaraguan
Government two years ago.
The company, with capital Of SIC, 900, 900,

Dietrich in terminal improvements. be-
sides having made preliminary arrange

Of the concession.

intrenched in Honduras he sought to re-
taliate on Nicaragua and reclaim that part
of the territory south of the river which IL
now in possession Of the American COM

was reached have not been made public,

OF force made by Honduras beyond tho
fact that President Bonilla sent his troops

AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT NOW.
The incident IL now officially acknowl-
edged TO have all the importance and dignity
of an international complication fraught
with the possibility OF grave consequence to
the existing friendly relations between the
United States and the belligerent Powers
and Is being handled as such.
Kogoro Takahira the Japanese Minister,
called at the State Department this morn
ing officially to inform Mr.. Adee Of the
presence OF Russian warship In San Fran
cisco harbor. Mr.. Takahira took occasion
TO say that he had perfect confidence that
whatever action the United States Govern
ment took would be perfectly fair and just
to both belligerents and that he was not
deeply concerned over the incident.
LENA TRIP TO END THE WAR?
1t Is the opinion OF several officers OF the
Government that the Lena was sent TO San
Francisco to compel the United States to
take action which could be used by Russia
as an excuse for ending the war on the
ground that the sympathies OF this Govern
ment are with Japan,
This Ia q rather radical conclusion, but
Il IL recalled In support Of 1t that Russia's
action In sending part OF her volunteer
feet TO seize British and other neutral
vessels was attributed to desire to force
Great Britain and Continental European
countries to take action which would en-
able the st. Petersburg Ministry to claim
that Russia was opposed not merely by
Japan but by other powerful nations. and
thus save hsf face In the conflict with
her brown adversary.
Another Wow IL that the Lena was sent
out to capture japanese merchant vessels
and neutral vessels carrying cargoes to
Japanese from American ports, but, find
ing her boilers In bad condition. was obliged
TO put into San Francisco for repairs.

ident Cleveland's last cabinet, dellv-
cred his first speech of the present
campaign tonight at West Side Tur-
ner Hall under the auspices of the
Democratic County Committee. Judge
Harmon was greeted by a large audi
ence. He spoke in the main on trusts
and tariff, saying, in part:
MIR. Roosevelt admits that trusts
and combinations injure the people and
ought to be suppressed. The only sure
way is to reduce the exorbitant tariff
taxes which have produced most Of
them. He does not favor that course.
So long as those taxes remain so high
as effeetually to prevent competition
from the outside. or the fear of it,
over-produotion will go on and in
one form or another home COM
petion will be stifled, and the
guilty parties will rely on evasions,
technicalities and administrations
made friendly, or at least not hurtfully
hostile by liberal campaign contribu-
tions and the other methods always
open to combined wealth and power"

TYNER WANTS NO CONVICTION
BY PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION
IenSures the President for Not 'Rishtins the
Wrong He Says Was Done

Washington, Oct. 27.-The letter
which was sent to Judge James N. .Ty-
ner' assistant attorney general for the
Postotfice Department, on behalf of the
President in answer to one sent by the
Judge to the President June IL, 1904.
asking him to right the great wrong"
which he declared the President had
unwittingly done him in using certain
statements rejecting upon his official
conduct was made public to-day by
Holmes Conrad, who has charge of the
prosecution of the so-ealled frauds in
the Postoffice Department. The letter.
which Is signed by Secretary Loeb and
dated June "a. 1904. says:
"A report has been received from the
department of Justice, and considered
by the President, who further directs
me to inform you that the facts dis
closed in such report abundantly con-
firm the views as to your official con-
duct heretofore expressed by him in
ms message to Congress prepared after
three indictments had been presented
against you by a grand jury and war
ranted the action in your removal from
office, and do not allow him to with
draw the expressions, or annul the ac-
ton.

the wrong doing to which he referred,
but for conspiracy With Barrett to do
wrong; which he is advisedis a wholly
different matter, as one may be guilty
of doing wrong and not guilty of con-
spring to do So.
MIR. Tyner tonight made public a
letter addressed by him to President
Roosevelt under date of Oct. and
declaring Secretary Loeb's letter to be
unfair and unjust. Mr.. Tyner's letter
says;
Your effort to override the verdict
of court and jury by a specious dis
tinction between the crimes you say
you referred to in your proclamation
and conspiracy to commit those crimes
might be less contemplate II its un-
fairness and its intent were not so
obvious and If you did not know that
every act referred to in the Bristow
report was fully before the jury on
the charge of corruption bribery
and misconduct in office Had there
been any evidence of wrong-doing II
would have been offered and admit
ted There was none; and you know
it,"
Mr.. Tyner asserts his willingness to
go into court again and disprove the
charges against him, and declares the
President knows there is no evidence
against him. He concludes:
IF any citizen of our republic can
stand convicted by presidential proc
lamation, then law is a farce and no
mans reputation is safe. You preach,
a square deal to every man. why not
practice it?'

ARSON CHARGES ARE
MADE AGAINST PERRY,
Evidence That He Fired the Car
Works at Hegewisch.

Works at Hegewisch.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-The National
Bank of North America has been pur-
chased by the Continental National
Bank
This action comes as the climax to
the charges connecting the name of
President Isaac N. Perry of the Ma
tional Bank of North America with
the burning of the Chicago Locomo-
tive Company Works at Hegewisch
Oct. 9. Mr.. Perry resigned the presi-
dency of the bank, but the directors
refused to accept it, affirming their
belief in his innocence. Fear that the
publicity growing out of the case
would injure the bank led to the
merger,
Mr.. Perry and a number of his
friends to-day went to the court room
of Justice Callahan in South Chicago,
where two charges, one of arson and
one of arson with intent to defraud
insurance companies, were entered
against him. On the first charge his
bonds were fixed at $1,000 and on the
second at $500. Bonds were signed
by friends and the hearing was con-
tinued to Nov. 5.
Evidence of ncendiarism In connec-
ton with the Chicago Car and Loco
motive Works fire at Hegewisch, lead
ing practically up to the point when
the match was applied, Is In the hands
of Corporation Counsel Tollman An
other sensational feature of the case
that developed to-day is the discovery
that Mr. Parry haS kko IL,
surance companies no claim for any
portion of the $172,000 insurance car
rted on the Hegewisch plant.
The evidence given before Fire At
torney johnson and made public to-
| day contains testimony from Frank
Book, engineer of the Chicago Car and
| Locomotive Works, and from L. H.
| Baldwin, former president of the COM
pany.
Baldwin, according to the evidence,
said that Perry had applied for extra
insurance. greatly over-valuing the
| plant. The engineer testified that
| Baldwin had told him of this. and re-
| peatedly warned him to be on his
| guard
Those inflated values mean some
| thing. Guard that plant as you would
your life. Don't let anybody in the
| buildings alone, not even Perry" was
| the warning given by Baldwin on one
| occasion, according to the engineer.
Books testimony recited that Perry
| had peremptorily ordered combustible
| materials, such as cars. to be stored
among the buildings of the plant,
which were of such construction and so
separated that fire would hardly have
| spread from one to another without
| intervening combustible matter.
Book said he saw Perry coming out
of one of the buildings shortly before
| the fire. Book also told of an expert
| ence with Perry the day before the
| fire, and in it the fire authorities hope
| to find a clew as to the manner In
which Perry is alleged to have brought
in the time fuses found in the build
ings. Book said there was a hard
packet in one of Perry's overcoat pock-
cts. THE flap was pinned with two
safety pins Scarcely had discovered
this when Perry saw that I had his
coat and hurriedly took it from me-"
