Death Of Notable Figure n The
Affairs Of Panama.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y. March
i2,--Ceorge Albert Burt. who was
general manager Of the Panama
Railway during the insurrection Of
1885. Is dead al his home near here
from heart disease, II was Mr.. Burt
who eabled to President Cleveland
from Panama during the lnsurree-
ton, Sunless you guarantee sufficient
protection shall withdraw every

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL.
Owing to the continued disturbed
conditions in Nicaragua and Presi-
dent Zelaya's failure to make serious
efforts looking to the settlement Of
the Emery claim, the State Depart
ment today, by Withdrawing Mr..
Gregory, the American Charge at
Managua, and ordering the legation
placed in the hands Of the Consul,
who will have no diplomatic capa-
city, practically broke off diplomatic
relations with that country.
Affairs in Central America have
been closely watched by the Ameri-
can and Mexican governments, both
of which have now come to an un-
derstanding that the time has arrived
when drastic measures should be en-
forced to insure peace in the Central
American republics.
Ambassador La Barra, Of Mexico,
spent some time at the State De-
partment today in conference with
Assistant Secretary Wilson, and the
determination was reached that if
the American warships now in Mica
raguan waters aud to be sent there
are not sufficient to impress Presi-
dent Zelaya that the treaty Of peace
entered into between the Central
American republics is not to be lived
up to, more radical steps will be
taken.
The impression was given that il
need be, Intervention would be re-
sorted to. The governments of the
United States and Mexico, it was
stated, are in full accord as to the
policy to be pursued toward Mica
ragua, and are now anticipating
Zelayas further moves.
So far as could be learned no offic-
ial information has been received
here of reported naval engagement
between gunboats of Nicaragua and
Salvador,

House
DISPUTED BY THE REGULARS
orgaization Says They "Will Win in
a Walk"--Speaker Cannon Also 10
Extremely conhdent--No Serious
Attempt to Defeat Him.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March IL.
Three important Developments oc-
Cured today in the house against the
insurrection OF the adoption OF
the rules OF the Goth Congress to
govern in the coming Congress. The
compromise iathered by Cummings
of Iowa an presented to the regulars
BY President Taft failed to unite the
Republicans members, What was
pronounced satisfactory working
agreement entered into late today by
the insurgents and democrats. The
compromise provides for the re'elec-
ton OF Cannon and the adoption OF
the rules Of the Goth Congress for
special session. II also authorized
the committee to investigate the
rules and report any prospective
changes when the regular session
convenes in December, II was pro-
posed that the insurgents be allowed
to name four Of the committee,
Democrats six, and regulars FIVE.
For the regulars, former Represen-
tative Watson Of Indiana, reported
that the compromise was acceptable
IL amended so as to allow the speaker
TO name the committee, due regard
being given to the insurgents in its
composition, The insurgents declin-
ed to accept the amendment II is
believed Taft will exert his influence
TO bring both branches of the party
together, At the conference between
the insurgent steering committee and
the committee of Democrats, this
afternoon It Is stated the insurgents
convinced the Democrats that they
could deliver 80 votes to any motion
they desired to offer on Monday.
The Democrats promised to furnish
l70. This lacks two OF being the
full democratic strength, one mem
Der being sick and one vacancy on
account Of death. AS l9s, il will be
"a majority the allied forces claim
victory, The program tentatively
agreed on by the allies is to vote
down the previous question on the
adoption Of the rules on Monday and
if the amendment to rules providing
committee TO select committees is
voted down to propose that commit
tee on rules be elected by the house
The Democratic conferrees are said
to have declared they could line up
the entire Democratic delegation for
the latter amendment but are not so
certain as to the former.
The regulars claim to have the
promise Of several democrats not to
vote with their party and deny that
insurgents will number 80 Former
Representative Watson declaring
that he had never yet fallen down on
a poll, asserted tonight that "The
organization will win in walk"
Speaker Cannon also seemed conf
dent and both the Democrats and
insurgents declared that no serious
attempt would be made to defeat
Cannon, AT the Republican caucus
tomorrow night it is planned to bind
the party to vote for Cannon and
adoption of the rules, At the Demo-
cratic caucus on Monday it is in
tended to bind the members to vote
against the rules.

From the Field.


In the middle of the North Atlantic
there is an area OF comparatively still
water almost equal to continental Europe
in extent and more or less covered with
floating seaweed. 1t was known as the
Mar De Sargaco to Columbus and the
early navigators and Is the Sargasso sea
of modern geographers. The floating
seaweed was formerly supposed to have
grown near the Bahama and Florida
shores and to have drifted to its pres
ent position. 1t is now, however known
to grow and propagate itself where 1t is
found. In 1T are found glObular masses
OF weed containing flsh eggs and known
as fish nests. Recent investigations show
that the floating weed of the Sargasso
sea is the chosen breeding place of species
of flying fish. The eggs found In the
nests were attributed to certain species
OF fish found resting on them, but care
full examination of the eggs. as G. A.
Boulenger points out. shows that they
really belong to flying fish. Apparently,
however the flying fish do not make the
nests themselves. Each end of the egg
of these fish is furnished with lunches of
very long Elementary tendrils, and by
means of these the finely divided branches
of the sargassum weed have been caught
together in globular masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own
nests
