I ! i BERLIN. July 28. The text of the Nlcarauan circular note to the powers protesting- against -what President Ma driz declared was the Interference of the United States in favor of the in surgents, which he said prevented the Madrlz government from putting down the rebellion, and asking foreign inter vention to make the United States change its attitude, came to light to day, when the German government for irjally declined to entertain the Nica riguan request. '.The Nlcaraguan communication was signed by Francisco Baca. Minister General of Nicaragua, who after an In troductory allusion to the importance and decisive nature of the point he was raising, said: ; "Oiir civil war would be ended were IRuenelds occupied by our troops. The commander of the American cruiser rjvducah landed troops and proclaimed that he would oppose our government, although this was the center of the revolutionary party and the troops of that party were there. j"We had occupied the bluff, the key j Bluefielda. had broken the armed opposition and desired to blockade Bluefielda. '-"The American Government hindered this, out of consideration for American shipping, and declared that customs should be paid to the revolutionary party, which had erected a new customs-house. "The American Government de manded, besides, that American ships le allowed to pass our fortifications free of duties before our eyes, although they were vessels carrying munitions for the revolutionists. They (revolu tionists), although locked In Blueflelds, prepared themselves undisturbed to at tack us. "."President Madrls has notified Presi dent Taft of these facts and asked neu trality. ."I beg your excellency" to take oc casion to use your good offices with the Cabinet at Washington that my government may have a free hand to restore peace in this country without the hindrances mentioned." The Nlcaraguan note was received by the Foreign Office on June 16 by cable direct from Managua. As Nicaragua has no diplomatic rep resentation at Berlin, the reply was made through Herr de Buch, the Ger man Minister to Central America, re Biding at Guatemala City. The latter was Informed of the receipt by the Foreign Office of the communication from President Mad Hz and directed to answer that the German government could do nothing In the matter.

Dr. Lennox, professor of literature at the University of Pennsylvania, who has arrived in London, Intends to spend his holiday in a somewhat novel manner. After he has "done" London and Paris he is going to Ireland to collect data for a book on the industrial resources of that country. His intention Is to stimulate American interest in the in dustrial revival movement. His chief .purpose will be to show that American money ,can be prudently and judiciously invested in Ireland. In this connection Dr. Lennox means to establish confidence by putting up a substantial sum of his own money, and that of his immediate friends. . On arriving in Ireland Dr. Lennox will get into close touch with leading men, irrespective of their religious or political leanings. He will listen to everything for and against local indus trial schemes. The proposed steamship connection between Galway and the United States and Canada will call for his special investigation.

Hazel Morrtwm Refuses to Ini plicate Man Arrested for Violation of 'White Slave" Law. The aged Scotch mother of Hazel Morrison, the girl whose arest at As toria was the first move made , by Federal authorities in this district to enforce the "white slave" law passed by the last Congress, furnished $1000 bonds yesterday for the girl's release. Hazel Morrison Is held as a witness against Al Nathan, who is charged with having imported her from Can ada In violation of the new law. The mother mortgaged her little home in Victoria. B. C, to obtain part of the money she deposited. Two of the mother's sisters, school teachers in Canada, contributed from . their sav ings to make up the amount. Hazel rewarded their devotion only by de claring to Assistant District Attorney Bvana that she was unable to reform. "What's the use of making prom ises?" said Hazel. "I cannot be good. I have been going bad since I was 14 years, old and I just can't help it." She refused to make any statement incriminating Nathan. Officers who are familiar with the case believe that the $1000 bail bond will be lost to the woman who furnished it. They think the girl will fail to return to testify before the grand jury. Nevertheless, her Jevoted mother will try to reclaim her. Nathan was arrested at Astoria on April 20 as the first of a series of prosecutions to 'be begun under the recent act of Congress intended to abolish the "white slave" trade. It was charged that Nathan went to Victoria and was welcomed at the home of Hazel Morrison as a suitor for her hand. At the conclusion of the visit the couple announced that they would be married in the United States, and took a steamer for Seattle. The mother was Informed that Nathan and the girl had occupied one state room on the trip and began inquiry as to the marriage. The result was the rinding of the couple at Astoria. The prosecution charges that her earnings were given to Nathan. Incriminating letters were found among the effects of Nathan. He has been unable to furnish the $5000 bail bond required of him.

North of Ireland Men. LONDON, July 24. (Special.) Few things in public life stir the House of Commons so deeply as religion. The general aspect of the House and the conversation of the average member does not, it is true, suggest any par ticular sanctity, nor does the conduct of affairs Indicate that the New Testa. ment is habitually consulted as an in fallible guide. But when the ques tion is one of dogma, and especially when that dogma leads to some prac tical outcome, there seems to be some thing in the human mind that malees it a question of intense interest. The more subtle the differences of faith, the fiercer become the contests. This is especially the cas between the two great branches of the Christian re ligion. Then again, the influence of Royalty on the House of Commons is such that every time the King's name is men tioned a hush falls' on the assembly. Everything connected with Royalty is like a live wire in the political world. When, therefore, there is the com bination of these elements of interest, as in the King's accession declaration, it may . be easily imagined that the House lis full of electricity. The House of Commons has just passed the first reading of a bill intended to alter the terms of the King's declaration on the occasion of his accession to the throne. Declaration la Ancient. The present declaration was framed in the time of Charles II in order to secure that the occupant of the throne should always be Protestant, but the declaration is not content merely with dtermlnlng that position; it singles out one of the beliefs which distinguish Catholics, and describes this belief as "idolatrous and superstitious." The declaration evidently contemplated the case of a king who would pay little attention either to his word or his oath, for it hedges him round with various' safeguards, even against mental reservations; and the absurd ity of it all is shown in the fact that Charles II. who swallowed all this, died a Catholic This declaration has continued its glorious career up to the present time. On the occasion of the accession of the late King Edward VII, there was a strong volume of protest both in the House and out. It was thought by many that these expressions and in sults to tlte religion of others savored of the Dark Ages. It is said that there are 12,000,000 Catholics in the British Empire. King Edward, who was him self, above all things, a genial and tol erant man, especially in matters of re ligion, protested against being called upon publicly to insult 12,000.000 of his subjects' at tne beginning of his reign. Matter Is Dropped. An attempt was at that time made In the House of Lords to alter the wording of the Declaration, but It was outvoted and the matter dropped. William Redmond, M. P., brother of the Irish leader, made several efforts In the House of Commons also to bring about an alteration In the x-eclaration. Soon after the death of the late King It became evident that the Gov ernment intended to deal with the mat ter seriously. The present King ex pressed himself as strongly as King Edward ' In regard to the Declaration, and nothing is more evident than that during the last 10 years the power of the throne has been increased out of all proportion. At first the Government intended simply to remove the offendve words, "idolatrous and superstitious." But since them better counsels have pre vailed, and the bYll now introduced is a model of brevity, simply affirming that the King Is a Protestant. It was thought at first that this reasonable proposal would be passed without op position, but a crisis oi the kind brings to light all sorts of deep-seated preju dices and ancient rancors. Members received a constant stream of literature depicting the Catholic Church in very odious terms and vividly reviving incl--dents which had mostly been forgotten 300 years ago. Case of Spain CHed. Then the case of Spain was cited, and certainly the condition of Spain with regard to religious tolerance leaves much to be desired. But the fact that Spain is a backward country, in this respect, hardly seems a sufficient reason for the Britfsn .rv.ing gross'y to insult 12.000,000 of his own subjects. Various bodies under various names held meetings of protest against the proposed alteration, and attempts were mad-e to whip up religious bigotry In England. It is an encouraging sign that the English public refused to re spond to any great extent. There seems to have been a vague notion amongst certain . sections of the com munity that Queen Alexandra was more or less, inclined to the Catholic Church. Soon after the death of King Edward, at a demonstration in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, a gentleman in a tall hat ran about the crowd cheering wildly and crying, "Now we have a Protestant Queen." But even that did not greatly perturb the crowd. In fact they bashed" his hat. Ulster Delegates Opposed. The real opposition in this case came from the Ulster members, those Con servative representatives of the North of Ireland who seem sedulously to keep alive the opinions and feelings of Oli ver Cromwell, and apparently regret they cannot resort to his methods. At a great public meeting held in London, one of these members. Captain Craig, told of a Protestant who, on his death bed, called his son to his side and said, "With my last breath I want to im press on you a safe rule of life. When ever y.ou see the Papists hopping one way, you hop the other." That appears to be Captain Craig's rule also and it may be easily imagined how helpful these sentiments are towards peace and good will in Ireland. Captain Cnaig is ably seconded by others of the Ulster members, such as John B. Lonsdale and William Moore, an Ulster barrister. These inveterate enemies of Nationalist Ireland found, in regard to the King's declaration, two curious recruits. These were two of the sporting young men of the House, Agar Robertes Lr.d the Hon. Neil Primrose. Agar-Robartes is the son of Viscount difden and Primrose la the son of Lord $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 $7.50 $8.00 $8.50 $10.00 Rosebery. These two representatives of the glided youth of England are noted in the House principally for their devotion to that sartorial cult which Carlyle thought to be one of the most powerful agencies in the world. Their reverence for their tailor errs even by its excess, but hitherto they had not been suspected of any profound reverence for the dogmas of religion. They were both better known on the racecourse of Newmarket than in the councils of the ohurch. But on this occasion they made themselves very con spicuous by their efforts to uphold the declaration of the King. In the House Itself there was much less excitement than one would suppose, and It must be said of the speeches, even those of the Ulster members, that they were as far as possible free from all of fense. Premier Asquith is at his oest on oc casions of this kind. "With his square figure, his hair now becoming white, his well-cut but rubicund features, his lawyer-like precision of styl.e and the oro tund voice of the public speaker, he is Just the man to introduce an Important but conciliatory measure. Arthur J. Bal four also spoke remarkably well. The Nationalists, those of whom are Catholics, put up as their spokesman William Redmond, who Is generally a bold and overwhelming orator, but on-thts -occasion he spoke with much tact and good will towards his opponents. As the di vision showed 383 in favor of the bill to 43 against, it is highly probable that it will become law. It has yet to endure a second and a third reading in the House of Commons, and then pass the House of Lords. There is only one disquieting feature in all this, and that is that the influence which has subdued , rancors and dissi pated prejudices has come from the court. In this instance that influence has been beneficially exerted, but the ominous fact is that court influence is rising and growing out of control, and it will gener ally be directed in an anti-Liberal and reactionary direction.
