for the Panama zone. The party will
make complete inspection of the
progress Of the work, spending about
week upon the canal. - So:
Although the personnel of the party
has not yet been made out it will be
headed by Representatives Dalzell,
Payne and Tawney. Representative
F. c. Stevens, a member of the canal
committee, will go with second
party, leaving about March TO-
The president is very much inter-
ested in the trip and has made a per-
sonal request upon a number of men,
bers to join the party. He thinks that
congress will be better prepared to
legislate for the canal and the con-
gressmen who make the trip can bet
ter explain to their constituents the
great difficulties to be overcome in
the great project. The enemies of
the great waterway are continually
criticising the progress of the work
and it is the opinion of the admins
tration leaders that the best way to
disarm their criticism is to have as
many Of the, legislators as possible
visit the work.

FOUR GOVERNMENTS ACTING IN
UNISON TO, SETTLE CENTRAL
AMERICAN TROUBLE.
QUESTION OF PRIDE is UPPERMosT
COUNTRIES INVOLVED BELIEVE
-. WAR ALONE CAN SATISFY
DEMANDS OF HONOR. :
.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Costa RIGA
and Salvador have Joined their efforts
to those of the United States and
Mexico to prevent a war in Central
America as the result of the present
friction between Honduras and Mic
aragua. Senior Calvo, the minister to
Washington from Costa Rica, had a
conference with state department off,
Gals relative to the subject and was
able to assure them that his govern
ment, after communicating with that
Of Salvador, had undertaken to inter-
vene to the extent of making repre-
sensations to the opposing govern
ments calculated to induce them to re-
frain from hostilities. ....
1t appears that the question of ma
tional pride is a large factor in the
problem. Each side feels that in view
of the bloodshed that has taken place
on the borders only war. can satisfy
the demands of honor. 1t is the pur-
pose of the four governments that are
now acting in conjunction in the in
terest of peace to convince the would
be belligerents that their honor would
not be aspersed by submitting their
differences to peaceful adjudication.
Honduras has accepted this view and
1t now remains only for Nicaragua to
yield to this influence.
. Later Minister Corea, representing
Nicaragua, called at the state depart
ment. and had long interview re-
specting the situation with Assistant
Secretary Bacon, whom Secretary
Root had charged to represent him In
the matter Senior Corea had no di:
rect advices from his own government
and was in search of information:
However, he did not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that hostilities
would be averted and that upon re-
Election both sides to the present con-
troversy would consent to submit their
differences. to treatment in the or
binary diplomatic method. ~-'.'

forty-four years ago for Panama with
more than 100000 in gold, took fire
when off the Mexican coast and was
beached about seventeen miles north
of Manzanillo, where she burned to
the waters edge.
The men of the Arago expedition
built a pier out to the wreck, rugged
powerful pumps and on Jan. / were
all ready to pump out sand and gold
when storm swept the beach and

husband IN the Tombs during the day
for the first time since she began to
tell the story Of her life on the wit

A. r. Peabody and John B. Gleason, OF

conference in the counselroom of the
prison. Mrs. Thaw appeared to be in
high spirits and her husband also
seemed to be in a pleasant mood. He
would not discuss the progress Of his
trial, however.
Some Of the jurors are beginning tC
chafe under the close restraint in
which they are held. Under the rules
which have been laid down for them
they are denied practically every lib
erty and they are permitted to leave
the hotel for exercise only when all
twelve of the men wish to go. Then
they are taken out under close guard
This condition resulted in what de-
veloped into rather an unpleasant dis.
agreement between the twelve men.
About half the number wanted to 90
out for walk during the forenoon.
The others had no desire to 60 out,
however. They were weary as re-
suit Of the trying days in court and
preferred to lounge around their suite
in the hotel. A lengthy conference
and much argument brought no result
and then the men who wanted to go
out appealed to the officer in charge.
He told them that he was powerless.
He could not permit the men to leave
the hotel unless all Of them went, he
told them

In the house to make declaration of
sympathy with the people of New
foundland in their troubles with the
United States over the fisheries.
Premier Laurier said that it was
with some hesitation that he consent

the colonial Office, he said, and British
diplomatists are not handling the
matter in way satisfactory to New

the Newfoundland troubles might any

was to be settled, he said in conclu-
sion, it would be settled by peaceful
