Peace Agreement Failed.

Washington, April 20.-It appears
that an agreement to terminate hostili.
ties in Central America actually was
reached yesterday, but it was suspend
ed in its operation by the refusal of
President Figuera, of Salvador, to
withdraw his forces from the boundary.
Senor COrea, the Nicaraguan Minis
ter, presented the views of his Govern
ment to-day to Assistant Secretary Ba-
con. He pointed out that Nicaragua
had precisely the same reasons as Sal
vadOr for maintaining an armed force
on the border, because the withdrawal
of the Nicaraguan army might be fol-
lowed by an uprising in Honduras of
the adherents of the overthrow Presi-
dent, Bonilla, which would threaten the
existence of the provisional govern
ment in that country. The Minister
had no later advices than those received
by the State Department.

Heavy Snow.IH Denver.

Denver, April 2O.-According to the
local weather bureaus measurements,
eighteen inches of snow, equivalent ia
!. A INCHES Of rain, fell here during the
storm which came from the North yes
terday and passed off to the southeast
to-day. A heavy precipitation also was
general in Colorado, benefitting the
grain crops which were threatened by
drought. Freezing weather is antici-
pated, but little damage will be done,
as vegetation ia scovered with snow.
Damages estimated at $500, 900 has
been done to fruit trees in the Arkansas
Valley, but the larger fruit raising re-
gions in Western Colorado are thought
not to have suffered any great harm.
At Pueblo the snowstorm began at
noon yesterday and continued through
out the night. To-day there was six
inches of snow on the ground. The
snow drifted badly, gripping railroad
and street car traffic. Fruit and veg
tables are badly damaged.
At Colorado Springs ten inches of
snow fell last night. Damage to fruit
by reason of the cold weather is small
in comparison with the benefit to the
farming lands of eastern Colorado,
where the dry farming system is in use,
Ranchers are delighted with the pros
poets of big crop as result.

Workmeu March in Streets.

London, April 22.-The Cry of the
unemployed, was raised in London
again tonight when several thousand
skilled workmen, who had been dis
charged from Woolwich Arsenal. as an
outcome of War Secretary Haldane' s
scheme of reducing military expenses,
marched with bands and banners the
long distance from Woolwich to the
House of Commons to impress their
grievances upon the government.
The complaints of the men are far
reaching, representing not only loss of
employment, but the wiping out of
their savings invested in little proper
ties located in the historical and here
tofore prosperous town Of Woolwich.
A number of printers and other
tradesmen, laborers and citizens Joined
the procession which was further aug
mented by a strong body of workers
from the army clothing factory at PIN
lico. The entire eight miles of march
was thickly lined with spectators. The
procession, which was perfectly orderly,
was halted at st. Georges Circle, one
mile from the houses of parliament,
and from here a deputation of picked
men proceeded to the House of Com
mons to lay the grievances of them
selves and their comrades before Pre-
mier Campbell-Bannerman.
The premier received the deputation
IN private room, War Secretary Hal
dane and Baron Tweedmouth, first lord
of the Admiralty, being present. Will
liam Crooks, member of the House of
Parliament for Woolrich, introduced
the deputation and the men explained
their grievances. The premier made q
sympathetic reply, and assured the men
of the governments anxiety that these
inevitable discharges should entail as
little hardship as possible.

GERMANS NOT WON TO

Berlin, April 2.-Hoke Smith, Gov.

Williamson, president of the Savannah

Jordan, president of the Immigration
Association of Georgia, have arrived

They are visiting Germany in order
to study the emigration question with
the view of the development of the re-
sources of Georgia and other Southern
Atlantic States.
AT Bremen they tried to induce the
North German Lloyd Company to es-
tablish a direct emigrant line to Sa.
vannah and Charleston and met with
encouragement.
Smith and his associates will start
for Vienna tomorrow.
They believe the outlook for increas.
ing emigration of some of the Austrian
and Hungarian races to the South At.
lantic States is better than the pros
poets of inducing Germans to go there
just now.

Urges Payment of Poll Tax.

Richmond, Va, April %. The Legis-
lative Committee of the Central Trade
and Labor Council has just had printed
and circulated an open letter, in which
it urges upon all its members the inn
portance of putting themselves in a po-
sition to vote-that is of paying the poll
tax.
Here is one significant line from the
letter: by failing to pay this tax by
May 5th, you disfranchise yourself, and
yet you will be forced to pay the tax as
a disfranchised man.
But the most significant words en-
bodied in the circular are as follows
'Our committee is fully satisfied that
the levying of this tax (the poll taxi as
a voting qualification, and the restric-
tion calling for its payment six months
prior to the day of election, was a
scheme of the Constitutional Convention
to disfranchise the labor and agricultur-
al element of our State. We are also
of the opinion that the proclaiming of
this constitution was an outrage unpar-
alelled in the history of Virginia. But
this constitution, with its Objectionable
features, is upon us. The only way to
rid ourselves of its burdens is to qualify
ourselves to vote that we may he in a
position to amend this proclaimed IL
strument.

Railroads Want Il Square Deal.

Memphis, Tenn, April %. 2.-Declaring
that the interests of the railway and of
the people depending upon it for trans
portation are identical, President w. w.
Finley, of the Southern Railway Com
pany, as one of the principal speakers
at banquet here tonight in connection
with the meeting of railroad officials
and lumbermen, made strong plea for
their treatment towards the railroads of
the country on the part of the public
All that the railways asked, he said,
was the assurance of perfect liberty to
develop their business under the protec-
ton of just and fair laws.
Contending that the future growth of
the South depended, in large measure,
on the attitude of Southern communi-
ties toward railway development, he
said:
81 cannot conceive that the people of
any locality should deliberately favor q
policy that would restrict investments,
for business men will not put their mon
ey in any locality unless they are assur-
ed that its transportation agencies are
strong and prosperous enough to expand
their service with their growth of busi-
ness. Since the construction of rail-
ways first began, they have ever been
the forerunners of investments. In this
day in localities already supplied with
railways, further investments depend
on assurance of the adequacy of rail-
way facilities. For these reasons
Southern industrial development and
Southern railway development must go
hand in hand in the future, as they have
in the past. Stife or restrict railway
development in any section, and the in
evitable result will be to stifle or restrict
all industrial progress and material ad-
vancement in that section"
Mr.. Finley said that If the railways of
the South are to increase their efficiency
as transportation agencies as allies of
Southern communities for Southern de-
velopment, they must spend large sums
of money within the next few years.
He said that the vital question confront
ing the railways and the Southern peo-
pie was as to how the money for this
purpose was to be obtained.

Chamberlain Is noomed.

London, April 2O.-Joseph Chamber
lain's family and friends know the
statement that he hopes to resume pub
lie work is entirely illusionary. He
grew little stronger, and, in part, re-
covered his spirits during his stay in the
south of France. But he cannot walk
without assistance, and he is capable of
only the most casual mental exertion
No physician can certify that Mr..
Chamberlain will ever be a we'll man;
no physician has ever vouched for the
bulletins concerning Mr.. Chamberlain s
health which have been issued.
Mrs. Chamberlain, who was Miss En-
dicott, of Massachusetts, is showing the
effects of the prolonged strain she is
undergoing. Never had man a more
devoted, self-sacrifcing helpmate. She
spares herself nothing. Clearly her
whole life is bound up in his.
