Fears Old Political Feud.

Previous to that understanding some
mutterings had reached here that Diaz
contemplated retiring. but the report
that he had actually resigned created
some anxiety in Official circles because
of fear that the old political feud has
broken out afresh.
Nicaragua is now engaged in an effort
to secure some temporary relief In her
financial straits in view Of the fact that
the Senate did not ratify the treaty ne
gotiated between the United States and
Nicaragua. Nicaragua already has rati-
fed the convention and 1t Is SAID that
some New York bankers, even though the
treaty has not. been contaminated, are
willing to loan about $1.5OO.OOO to the
little republic The total amount wanted
by Nicaragua Is about $12,OOOOOO DR..

Unable to Get Vote.

The Canadian parliament failed to ratify
the reciprocity agreement. This was due
to the fact that vote could not be taken
in parliament upon the proposition. Like
our Senate. there is no cloture rule in the
Canadian parliament, and the government
could not bring the question to issue,
thereupon the ministry dissolved parlia-
ment and laid the matter before the peo-
pie and an election will be held Septem-
Der II. This will be an election for the
house of commons-correspondin to our
House of Representatives. The election
will be conclusive, for If a majority is re-
turned Of members in sympathy with the
government the ratification of the pact
will be assured. or course. the issue over
here is not alone the ratification or rejec-
ton Of the reciprocity agreement.
Other questions enter into the elec-
ton, support or repudiation OF the
government being one Of them. The
present government has been in power
premier. has successfully fought his
opponents, and maintained his admin
istration. With such a lead, Of course,
his position at this time is one OF ad-

Kept Awake at Night.

OF course, the annexation cry is
used by the opposition to the govern
ment to forward it's own cause. But
gent and sincere Canadians absolutely
believe that we have designs upon his
majesty's dominion over the seas. They
lie awake at night, with the cold per-
spiration breaking out of their brows.
at the thought of the constituents of
Thetus Wilrette sims of Tennessee and
j. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania,
sons Of toll in the Ozark mountains,
reaching out covetous hands to this
fair land Of Southdown mutton and
RestigOuche salmon. OF course, We
know that the aforesaid constituencies
have not any more desire of annexing
Canada than they have of taking over
the Duchy of Wurttemberg. 1 fact
many Of them probably could not
bound Canada on the map. But that
doesn't matter.
Down at Hamilton the night before
last they had mass meeting. and this
was the refrain of song which was
rendered by the local glee club: Would
you make the silken British flag a dirty
Spangled cotton rag?-Fine."
The fact that President Taft has dis
tinctly said that the United States does
not desire annexation and the fact that
the committee on foreign affairs of the
House of Representatives unanimously
reported adversely on an annexation reso-
luton at the last session of Congress DC
not weigh. The opposition is determined
that we want Canada, and that reci-
procity is the entering wedge to anneXa-
tion-so there you are.

Poultry farms have been inundated,
thousands of chickens have been
lost and large herds of cattle and
hogs drowned. The water, which has
been flowing into the district at the
upper end, above Lathrop, from a
break in the San Joaquin river on the
Littlfield place, has reached the low
er end and its escape, prevented by
the leNees of Walker slough, has
backed up on the towns of Lathrop
and French Camp.
At the county hospital below
French Camp the patients have been
taken to the second story. Water
surrounds the institution.
In response to a call for help from
French Camp today specoal train

their way to farm houses many of
which had water in their lower floors
and brought women and children to
