She Want* Now to Control the Nicaragua Canal—Negotiations Said to Be It Progress With the Greater Be* pu'Alie of Central America— Duty of the United States. ij Japan'! btnt Dlotorlnf. Njcw Yoiik, Sept 3.—A special to the Herald from Washington, says: "Japan, not content with Interference with President McKinley’s Hawaiian annexation policy, now has designs upon the Nicaraguan canal. Accord* Ing to semi-official advices just re ceived here from Nicaragua, the Jap anese government is secretly negoti ating with the Diet of the Greater Republic of Central America, which recently met in San Salvador, for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal, independent and in defiance of the in terests and influence of the United States or other nations. “This aotion of Japan, taken in con nection with her recent attitude in regard to Hawaiian annexation, is of the greatest slgblficance, showing, as it does, to the authorities that there is no ligpit to the ambitiop of the na tion, and her aggressive policy may yet get her into trouble with the United States. That the Administra tion will resent any interference with the Nicaragua canal project, as It did in the case of the Hawaiian annexa tion treaty, goes without saying. JAPAN’S SECRET DICKERING. "If Japan can encompass it, accord ing to the Nicaraguan advices received here, she would like to obtain the ab rogation of all treaty rights possessed by the United States in relation to intcr-occanic transit and the forfeiture of the American canal concessions from Nicaragua, and to immediately make a treaty with the Diet of the Greater Republic of Central America, giving her control of the canal route through Nicaragua. In the negotia tions Costa Rica has not been consult ed, it being well known that she would not assent to a violation of treaty rights. - it nas oeen suspected in tome quarters that,. England, which has always been anxious to acquire at least a joint control o( the eanal, might be working in collusion with Japan in the ‘dickering* with the Diet now understood to be in progress, but nothing has yet come to the surface to Indicate that she has encouraged Japan in the move It is said that the agent of the Nicaragua canal hero has laid the facts before Mr. Hitchcock, the president of the canal company, in New York, with the suggestion that the State department be apprised of the secret negotiations that are now being carried on between Japan and the Diet. Senor Zclaya, the president of Nicaragua, it is understood, has ad mitted to close personal friends that Japan Is negotiating with the Diet, but in eaoh case he advised the strict est secrecy. IS NICARAGUA PLAYING FALSE? “A private letter just received in this city from Nicaragua says: ‘Among Americans in Central America the be lief is general that the Greater Repub lic of Central America, which is rep resented In its diplomatic affairs by a Diet composed of three members (one each from Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras) was organized principally in order that Nicaragua might ab solve herself from individual respon sibility as a nation, and thereby abro gate her interoceanlc transit treaty with the United Staten. The so-called Greater Republic, resenting the fail ure of the United States to recognise the Greater Republic (on re ceiving Senor Rodriguez as min ister) and its failing to accredit a United States minister to the Greater Republic, is likely to try and make a treaty with Japan, granting her concessions for the construction of the canal The United States min ister here believes that when this news reaches Washington the State department will send a note to Japan asking if she is seeking to interfere with our treaty rights in the premi ses The Americans in Nicaragua be lieve that the United 8tatea govern ment will insist that her interoceanlc treaties with Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras and' Columbia are yet in force, although the Diet claims that Nicaragua and Honduras are no longer separate uqd individual nations, and are therefore irresponsible.’* To Stop Onion Pnelfle Sain.

Thousands FI ad Nothing — About SO* Oat of 4,000 Btn Mode itrlkw San Francisco, Sept. 3.—A latter I dated Dawr.on City, July 26, from Charles Haines, n well-known news paper writer, was received here yes terday. It is the first letter written by a trained newspaper man to come out of the Klondike (fold regions. He says: , -j. About me are score* of men who can weigh their gold by the baclcetfnl, and who value their claims at mil lions. Four hundred valuable dig gings are stretched along the creeks and in every diggings there la a fabu lous mine of gold, yet there are weary men who have gone and returned to Dawson after searching the great country hereabouts, and never a nug get do they show for their toll, their long tramp over the broken ground into a country whose disadvantages are exceeded by no other place on earth. This Alaska Northwest terri tory Is an odd prize drawing propos ition that I can liken to nothing that admits of a better comparison than a lottery. A number of spots are selected on the creeks and rivers and for one year the miner labors. The year closes, the water runs, and the sea son’s output barely pays expenses. Not two miles away from the unfor tunate one works a man who has taken from an uninviting bit of earth a sackful of gold. The lucky one did not strike the pocket because of his ability as a miner; chance favored him, and that was all. In short, the miner guesses at it and locates any and everywhere. In nineteen cases out of twenty he misses it, and has to watt another year for a new trial. Dawson is merely a collection of log huts, sa loons and a mass of tents, about 600 in number. When the long nights come and the glass goes down to 6.1 degrees below zero, there will be in tense suffering hern, and I shudder to think of the results ' IN BED FOR 21 YEARS.

In 1868 Mr. Lilly told hie friends that ho had heart disease, and In the autumn of that year took to his bed and lay prone there for twenty-one years, telling his physician and friends that if he raised his head or chest above a slight angle he would instant ly expire. Nothing could expel this idea from his mind, and his family had to make the best of the situation. His general health was good, but it was not until late in 1880 that he could be Induced to get up. Once during that time his dwell ing caught fire, but he refused to move aud was carried out on his cot At last he announced that he had worn out his ailment, and ven tured to get out of bed, and was as sisted to walk across the room. Slnoe then he baS been up most of the' time managing his business affairs, for he was a shrewd business man, and grew rich even while lying in bed. A few weeks ago he had a Blight shock of paralysis, but rallied, and up to the day of his death had fairly good health. He leaves a wife and one daughter about SO years old. PRESIDENT AT A REUNION.

Extra Seaxlon of the Hawaiian Leylala taro Called for September Oth to Ratify the Treaty—McKinley to Call Cony re «• Together Two Months Earlier* Hawaii for Annexation. Saw Francisco, Sept. 2.—The steamer Australia, which arrived from Honolulu to-day, reported that Fran cis M. Hatch, minister to Washington, arrived August 20 with special inform ation which will require the attention of both government and senate. A notice has already been issued to the members of the latter body calling upon them to meet in extra session September 0 to ratify the annexation treaty recently signed in Washington, and, as a majority ef the members favor annexation, the matter will be rushed through. A Senator is authority for the state ment that Minister Hatch brought word froiR President McKinley that he had resolved to call Congress two months earlier than usual for the pur pose of disposing of the treaty before the regular session, and this theory appears to find favor with other SenJ atom Another matter to be considered by the Hawaiian Senate is that of ren dering assistance to the executive in unraveling the Japanese muddle, as it is said that Japan’s acceptance of the offer of arbitration is so vague that the President and his cabinet are in a quandry. There are rumors of a split in the cabinet oyer the question, and it is said that the intervention of the Senate is required to prevent an open rupture. The Hawaiian Star declared that a eall had been issued for a mammoth demonstration September 14 against elnser political union with the United States Senators Morgan and Quay are expected to arrive from the Unit ed States that day, and the object of the anti-annexationists is to impress them with the feeling upon the ques tion.

Sept. 8.— United State* Senator George G. Vest has ad dressed the following letter, under date of August 30, to Congressman James Cooney, of the Seventh Mis souri district, in reply to the recent letter from James H.. Eckels, comp troller of the currency, stating that Senator Vest had requested that the proposed examination of the Sedalia First National bank, in March or April of 1HM, be deferred until certain of the bank’s assets could be realized upon. The letter is as follows: “In March, or April, .1894, Messr. Cyrus Newkirk, president of the bank, and J. C Thompson, the cashier, wrote me that an examination of the bank was about to be made before the I time fixed by the established rule of the comptroller, and that, on account of a false report put in circulation by some one that the institution bad failed, and the additional fact that, on account of the stringency prevailing, they were unable to collect, there was danger of a run on the bank if an ex amination was made before the regu lar time. They stated that they would realize a large sum from the assets of the bank in a few days, and that the institution was entirely Bolvent. They requested me to lay these facts before the comptroller of the currency. “Believing them to be honest men, and that their statements were true, I went to the treasury department and placed their communication before the comptroller or his deputy, I do not now remember which. I made no re quest, but simply said the failure of the bank would be a great calamity to Central Missouri, and that I hoped it could be prevented; that I knew nothing personally about the matter and had no connection nor interest with nor in the bank' or its officers. “I never had any dealings with the bank, and . was active in organizing the Citizens’ National bank of Sedalia, against the persistent opposition of the First National. While Mr. Thomp son was connected with my family by marriage, we were never friends nor in any. way connected in business. My conduct in this transaction was dictated by a sense of publio duty, and I would have done the same thing for any constituent. I have no apol ogy to make, and hope there will be the fullest investigation.
