FEDERATE CENTRAL REPUBLIC.
Plans Have Taken Definite Form
Convention to Be Held.

OOnVCnliOn LO DC flCl0s
Plans for the federation of the five
Central American republics have at
last taken definite form. If the ideas
of those interested materialize con-
gress will be held in Mexico City,
which will be attended by over 24OO
delegates. One hundred and fifty OF
these will be Central Americans now
resident in this republic, and the re-
mainder will be regularly appointed
delegates from each of the five repub-
lies. DR.. Francisco Reyes, former min
lister to Mexico from Salvador, is the
leader of the movement. He will
shortly visit each of the Central
American republics to explain the
situation.
Lack of Official Character
One drawback is the lack of official
character which the meeting may
have to overcome. The leaders hope
they can prevail upon President Diaz
to call the meeting. While President
Diaz has emphatically announced that
Mexico does not maintain the idea OF
protectorate for the settlement of
Central American troubles, it is ar
gued that the mere calling of the
meeting would in no way nullify
Mexicos previous declaration, and
would give the assembly the desired
standing.
The question of federation could
then be settled by the Central Ameri-
cans themselves.
Gomez of Nicaragua to See DIaz.
In this connection a significant tel
egram was received here tonight. II
says that Senior Gomez, who is the
confidential agent of President Zelaya
of Nicaragua, will leave New Orleans
tomorrow for Mexico City, where he
will confer with President Diaz. The
promoters of the congress believe tha
much hinges on this conference. The
telegram says Fernando Sanchez, for
mer minister of foreign relations o
Nicaragua to Ecuador, Venezuela ant
Salvador, will leave New York TO-
this city as the accredited minister t.
Mexico from Nicaragua.
Luis Felipe Corea, minister of Mic
aragua to the United States, is als'
accredited to Mexico, but it is said tn
coming Of Sanchez will nullify thi
arrangement and Senior Corea will b
the representative to the Unite
States only.
The Mexican government know
nothing officially of this arrangement
DR.. Reyes will call meeting c
resident Central Americans Monda.
A manifesto will be drawn settin
, forth the proposed federation plan
The manifesto will be adopted and D.
Reyes will be delegated to push th

came king Of the British Isles. Thus
Anne was the first queen consort of
Great Britain and Ireland.
Her character in some ways was
childish and weak, for it is told Of
her that she had her spells Of sullen-
ness and pouting, sometimes lasting
for days together, when she was con
tradicted or her wishes disobeyed."
She also had turbulent temper,
causing unpleasant domestic scenes
at times. greatly to the kings annoy
ance. However. barring these faults.
Anne was in many ways an admirable
woman and a more than fond mother.
On the whole, she and James got on
very lovingly together, and he never
gave her a rival When Queen Anne
died, in 1919. the king was almost in
consolable and never in the seven
years that he survived her did he once
contemplate a second marriage. Anne
of Denmark left two surviving chill

Boys, May Festival.

Long before the arrival Of the day,
shops are gay with al kinds of tempt
ing toys and banners, while in every
yard and in front of the houses long
bamboo poles are set up. When the
day arrives the boys tie their paper
fishes, flags and streamers to the rope
hanging from the top of the pole, and
pull them up. These paper fishes are
made hollow so that the breeze may
pass through the wide opening Of the
mouth and initiate the body, making it
round like a real fish The paper is
painted either red or black to repre-
setn red or black carp. The fishes
are of different sizes, ranging from a
foot to three or four yards long
Some of the bamboo poles have as
many fishes on them as there are
boys in the house; often each fish rep
resents one of the boys Of the family.
When there is a strong spring
breeze the air entering through the
mouth initiates the bodies of the fishes,
swings them from side to side and
makes them flap their tails, so that
they look as if they are in their own
element-are swimming in a stream.
1t is a pretty sight to see from a
housetop a great number of them
floating in the air all over city. TO
other bamboo poles flags are attached,
and these have pictures of warriors
and heroes in Japanese history and
legends painted on them.-Genjiro
Veto, in the Circle.

Her mother, Sophia of Necklenburg,

have been her charming qualities, she

Annette subject of this sketch-was
in her ninth year before she was al

about in the arms of her nurses. That
this was due to nothing short Of ignO-

fact that after arriving in her teens
the Princess Anne was famous for
her sprightly and graceful dancing,

ninth year, she had the most active

Frog Long Imprisoned in Tree.


While an old horse chestnut stump
was being cut down at Lathbury, a
We frog was discovered between the
,ark and the timber, about fifteen
inches from the ground The bark
was thick and had grown completely
around it, and writes a correspondent,
There was not the slightest hole
Through which the frog could have
crept in recent years.
The tree has shown no signs of life
for at least five years past, and on
the lowest computation the bark
must have had two years growth. The
frog must therefore have been cut off
in its prison from light and food for
at least seven years. It was yellow
and small but in excellent health, and
