Washington, Dec. 2.-The most

United States looking towards the
protection of American lives and
interests in Nicaragua was exc
cuted today when the cruiser All.
bany and gunboat Yorktown wore
ordered to proceed at full speed
from MasdaIena bay to Corinto,
on the Pacific coast Of Nicaragua.
The aunboat Vicksburg already is
in, the '::arbor at corinto and the
gunboat Princeton is on the way
from Bremerton, Washington, for
the sanne port. Tho transport Buff
faIo, according to what is said to
be the plans of the officials re-.
sponsibIe, will sail from Panama,
for corinto, with probably 1,100
marines aboard, soon after the
Prairie, which is under orders to
leave Philadelphia this afternoon
with about 700 marines, arrives at
Colon. Concentration of four war;
ships, together with the Buffalo
with all her marines, at corinto is
taken to indicate a determination
to be able to meet any call upon
them for the protection of Ameri-
can citizens. On the Albany are
about 29o blue jackets and on the
Vicksburg, Yorktown and Prince
ton $50 each. At the same time the
United States will have a formid-
able force within striking distance
Of the Atlantic coast in case of
danger to American lives or prop
erty in that section Of Nicaragua.
At Port Limon, Costa Rica, arc the
cruisers Des Moines and Tacoma,
each with 28o men aboard, and the
sunboat Marietta, with $50 men.

THE STEADY CLIMB

But Prices Throughout the List Were
Generally Lower.

New York, May 26-United States
steel today followed the daily custom
it has established now by more than
week of selling at new high rec
ord on each successive day. Yester-
day and today, the addition to the
record has been only Nc and today
this was shown only on the opening
sales. After that the price moved
with the rest of the market to lower
prices. Most of the proceedings Of
the day at the stock exchange con-
sisted in trading in Reading or in
watching the transactions in that
stock which overshadowed the whole
market and weighed on it with de-
pressing effect. A lively speculation
in copper industrials abroad resulted
from the condition of the metal, but
New York coppers were unresponsive.
The break in the price Of wheat was
equally without influence on stocks.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,

The Hopkins Folks Unable to Prevent

Springfield, Ill. May 26.-Congress-

The, election of Lorimer came about
through a coalition of democratic as

through the hour preceding the close
of the deadlock was crowded with a
host of persons. Strong efforts were
made by former Hopkins aides to
head off the break to Lorimer, but
they were unavailing.
The vote of Mr.. Shurtleff, the nine
ty-fourth representative to vote for
Lorimer. made the 101st vote, the vote
which made the election of Lorimer alb

not vote were Daley and Hope, with

WORK TO BEGIN EARLY
ON YUMA RAILROAD
AT FIRST ONLY THROUGH THE
VALLEY.
The Extensive Ultimate Plans of the
Promoters.

Yuma, Ariz., May 26.-(SpeciaD-
is authoritatively stated that construc-
tion work by Karr, Kester & Speese
on the railroad from Yuma, through
the Yuma valley. will begin immedi-
ately on completion of the survey.
Ties and steel rails will be on the
ground. and VIII De laid as fast as the
grading is completed.
The Karr, Kester & Speese company
is the largest railroad construction
firm in the southwest. They own a
large acreage under the Yuma project
and have several hundred head of
stock and a complete grading outfit
on the ground. Freight and passenger
terminals in Yuma have been secured.
The location of the depot has not been
fully determined, but probably it will
be one of two points convenient with
the Southern Pacific.
The incorporators have a petition
before the council of Yuma, asking for
a traction franchise through the
streets of Yuma. Should the franchise
be granted, modern interurban trac-
ton system traversing the surround
ing mesa and valley lands will be put
in and will extend to a town site To-.
Gated on the Mexican border. 1t is
proposed at an early date to extend
the main line across the Mexican
boundary, through the state of Sonora,
to a fine harbor on the Gulf of Cali
fornia.
The extension viii open transporta-
ton for a 30.000-acre tract of mesa
land in northwestern Sonora, irrigated

fertile bottom land along the Colo
RADIO river.
Several hundred Boer families from
South Africa will soon colonize in
northern Sonora The railroad Will
top the colony. Eventually the rail-
road will be built south along the
Gulf of Guayamas. Closing the gap
will shorten the rail route between the
City of Mexico and San Francisco by
several hundred miles.

THE COAST SHIPPERS

They Want, They Say, General and
Proportionate Reduction of Rates.

San Francisco, May 26.-It has been
decided that two delegates each should
be selected by the commercial and
business organizations to meet on
Wednesday afternoon for the organiza-
ton of a committee of the whole, em-
powered to seek support for the fight
that is to be waged for lower freight
rates to the Pacific coast.
In discussing the campaign. Mr..
Wheeler said that the fight was not
being made against the interior cities,
such as Spokane and Reno; but. on
the contrary, the bureau would will
ingly work for lower rates for them
also. He said that what the coast
shippers wished was that rates from
the west to these points should be re-
duced in proportion as the rates from
the east are lowered

II WANTS LOTS OF It
The New Kansas Reformer
Demanding a Lowering of
the Rate on Sugar Declares
That He Is the Best Friend
of That Industry.

Washington. May 26.-For more
than seven hours today the senate
discussed sugar. as that subject is
involved in the pending tariff bill
Beginning with an effort by Sena-
tor McEnery, of Louisiana, a demo-
cratic protectionist, there were four
sets of speeches. Three supported the
sugar schedule as reported from the
committee on finance. while the fourth
was a plea for material reductions.
Completing his speech of yester-
day, Mr.. MeEnery made an earnest
plea for a stiff protection not only
because of the necessity of such pol
icy in the interest of revenue, but
because, he declared, such a course
would render the United States in
dependent of other countries. He as
serted that there had been a change
of sentiment in the south on the
subject of protection.
Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, and
Mr.. Smoot, of Utah, both members
of the finance committee, also spoke
in support of the committees action.
Mr.. Smoot presented a carefully pre-
pared analysis of the situation and
Mr.. Burrows appealed more particu-
larly to popular sentiment.
Mr.. Bristow, the new senator from
Kansas was the only advocate of a
reduction in the rate. He presented
an amendment elipinating all refer
ence to the Dutch standard in de-
termining the grade of sugar. Re
ferring to the attitude of the so
called progressive senators. Mr..
Bristow declared that instead of
wanting to destroy the sugar in
dustry they were the best friends. of
that interest. as they were of the
protective policy. Their desire, he
said. was to prevent graft and greed
on the part of the trusts.
