two months in 1863 was never more
cheerful nor in better fighting trim.
It was pictured at the time, however,
In deplorable state. The confederate
army besieged, in Atlanta was re-
ported to have lost heart; it never
fought with higher spirit or greater
fury than in the Nashville campaign
that followed the surrender Of At

The situation of the garrison at
Port Arthur is unlike that at Chatta-
nooga or Atlanta or Vicksburg or

was for an hour. The army in Metz
was too large for the work in hand,

The garrison at Port Arthur, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, is not too
large, is we'll provisjoned and is in

or it may be forced to surrender as
was the garrison at Vicksburg, but its
fighting spirit is not to be judged by

ZELAYA IS PLEASED,
CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES
MAN LIKES UNITED STATES.
People Of Nicaragua Do Not Feel Bad
About Panama Canal, But Will
Build New Interoceanic
Railroad.
1t. Louis (Mo.) Special,

1t. Louis CMo.) Special.
It is generally believed in the United
States that the republic of Nicaragua
must naturally feel somewhat "sore" at
having had to take back seat in inter-
oceanic canal matters through the selec-
ton of the Panama-Colon route. But
such Is far from being the case, as our
neighboring republic has evinced the
liveliest interest in all matters apper-
States. The fine pavilion Of Nicaragua
at the worlds fair is another evidence
of Nicaragua's friendliness toward this
country, and the great esteem in which
the worlds fair is held by that Central
American republic Is further shown by
the selection OF some of her most prom.
inent citizens to form her worlds fair
commission.
This commission Is composed Of the
following gentlemen: Senior Don Felix
Pedro Zelaya r., the actual secretary Of
the treasury, or finance minister Of the
republic as we'll for the past eight years;
Senior 1ngeniero Don Alexandra Bermu-
dez, engineer-in-chief of the republic,
and Dr. Don F. Garcia Orsono.
Senior Zelaya was seen by representa-
tive of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
through the courtesy of an introduction
by Senior Bermudez, who is in charge of
Nicaragua's exhibit, and in response to
several inquiries made of him, the Sec
rotary of the treasury said:
"les, this is my first visit to the United
States, and I came here by way Of New
Orleans. I must say that this is a really
grand country, and am highly gratified
to find that it far exceeds my greatest ex-
pectations of its grandeur.
Nicaragua, you must know, does not
feel the slightest resentment toward tho
United States for not choosing the canal
route through her territory. She looks
upon the matter as a res adjudicata, and
the incident has been forgotten in the
march of progress that we are now max

Ing. While those in favor of q canal
thought that our country would be
greatly benefited thereby, there were
still very many who believed that the
republic would be divided and portion
Of her territory wrested from her; that
her sovereignty would be impaired and
that dividing line would be formed
tending to sever the harmonious and
peaceful union relations among the five
Central American republics of Guate-
mala, Salvador, Honduras, Costa RIGA
and Nicaragua. How near the fears of
the anti-canal party of Nicaragua were
to being correct can be Judged from the
events anent the division of the republic
of Colombia and the cession of large
tract of Panama's territory to the United
States.

gua's secretary of the treasury under
President Gen. Jose Santos Zelaya, the
president of the republic (who, though
bearing the same name as myself, is no
relative to me), with a view toward
progress and by strict economy We have
been able to reduce our external debt
considerably; and through good man
agement we have paid off, during the last
six years, nearly all of our debt of &c.
100000, owing to England, so that there
only remains little less than million
now to be paid to the creditors in that
country.
"Well," continued Senior Zelaya,
"even if we have not got the canal, we
have a project, now we'll under way,
which is of just as great Importance
as was the canal. This project is the
completion of the inter-oceanic rail-
way running from San Miguelito, on
Lake Managua, to Monkey Point, on
the Atlantic coast, short distance to
the southwark of Bluefelds and the
Mosquito Indian reservation, dis
lance of little over 200 miles.
"This road, for which the surveys
are now being made. is to be built for
and on account of the government of
Nicaragua, under a contract made
with a German gentleman by the
name Of Don Julio West. BY this
contract West Is to receive the sum
of 81, 900 United States gold per mile for
the labor performed in each mile con-
structed, the tools and other material
necessary to build and equip the road.
"The project for the railroad, together
with the contract with Senior West
was hailed with delight by the people,
and the N;caraguan congress in Joint
session, under the presidency of DR.. Don
Jose Dolores Gomez, vice president of
the republic, unanimously ratified the
concession, which was Immediately aft

With his four terms in congress, a

doesn't look a bit older. He began life
in Iowa. When he was in Tabor college
he was general bell ringer, and that is
how he made the money to pay his way.
He was graduated from that institution
IN 1890 and at once entered the University
of Nebraska, where in 1893 he was grad

began the practice Of law in Lincoln in

Senate-Some Good Stories

Omaha (Neb.) Special.

Omaha (Neb.) Special.
Elmer J. Burkett has just received
from the republican state convention
Endorsement as candidate for the
United States senate, as the result of a
"boom" started without his knowledge
or sanction. 1t is a repetition of the way
his political career begun eight years
ago.
Back in 1896, after Burkett had strug-
gled along for three years as member
of the bar and general worker for the
republicans of his ward, the local ma
chine had decided upon its candidates
for the legislature, but needed to head
of a man in Burkett's ward to make
its delegation sure. Very softly ma
chine man whispered to Burkett the ad-
visibility OF his becoming candidate.
Burkett did, and never before had his
ward seen such a campaign. He won
his delegation. and that was all he ex-
pected to do. The night before the con-
vention caucus was held, and so little
interested was Burkett about the nom
ination that he was asleep long before
the caucus started. One Of the ma
chimes candidates showed symptoms of
being sold. Some ore mentioned Bur-
kett. It was taken up in a minute, and
Burkett was named.
Then came the campaign. He proved
effective on the stump, and in the legis-
lature he was recognized as one of it's
foremost debaters. He served only one
term, because Lancaster next year pro-
posed him for congress, and he has been
there ever since.
When Burkett's name was first men
toned for congress many persons didn't
know about, this young man Burkett.'
and it was d proposition that required
the greatest diplomacy and tact. Bur-
kett was out counting chickens and
kissing babies, when he ran into neigh
