The en gineers of the Isthmian Canal Commis sion, after borings, have condemned two of the proposed sites for the dam across the San Juan River, in the event of an lnteroceanic canal being constructed, but Have discovered another proper and con venient site. At this point a stratum of rock extends across the river a few feet below the bed, and extends into the banks on each side. There are over SO00 acres of cotton plant ed this year In Nicaragua. The planters now estimate that? they will be able to sell the product at 4& cents per pound, Nic aragua currency, or about 1 cents, gold, at the present rate of exchange. The Government of Nicaragua has ac cepted the resignations of the directors of the National colleges of Nicaragua, Maysa and Granda, and has closed those Institutions.

The police and cavalry charged at Ouv ldor and In the business district, killing four persons and wounding 20. The dis turbances continued today, and several persons were Injured, but the excitement Is abating. There is no political slcnlfl- 1 cance In the rioting. x MO DUTY GOLLECTED Status of the Russian Petro leum Controversy. ONLY DECISION BY APPRAISERS If the Contest I to Be Carried Far ther, the Next Move Must Be Hade in the United States. WASHINGTON, June 19. Treasury of ficials protest against 'the assumption in some quarters that the department has taken up the question of the duty on pe troleum Imported from Russia and decided it adversely to that country, well know ing that little or no petroleum Is brought from there Into the United States. Since the Dlngley tariff act went into opera tion, the officials, say the department never has directly passed upon the ques tion at issue. The act itself makes it ob ligatory upon the authorities to Impose a corresponding duty on petroleum or Its products Imported from any foreign coun try which imposes a duty on the Ameri can article, but the Treasury officials say nothing was done as to importations from Russia until January 20, 1901, when the Board of General Appraisers held that rvetrnlfium produced In Russia and Im ported into England, there refined and then Imported into the United states was dutiable at a rate equal to the rate im posed by Russia on petroleum imported Into that country from the United States, and further, that the provisions of para graph 626 of the act of July 24, 1897 (the Dlngley tariff law), apply to the country where the oil Is produced, and not to the country of exportation. This decision, it is contended at the Treasury Department, was the only one which could be made In view of the plain wording of the law. As far as the department knows, not a dol lar In duties had been collected on Rus sian petroleum Imported direct nor was the action of March 9, it is clamed, taken with any special reference to that coun try. The situation is such that the next move must be made by the United States, If the contest is to be pursued. Secretary Gage, In his letter, raises the question whether the Russian Government has not Infringed upon the rights of theUnlted States under treaty. Article' 6 of the treaty of com merce with Russia of 1832 reads: "No higher duties shall be Imposed on the importation into the United States of any article, the product or manufac ture of Russia, and no higher or other duties shall be Imposed on the Importation Into the Empire of Russia of any article the product or manufacture of the United States, than are or shall be payable on the like article being the product or manu facture ot any foreign country. - ., "By levying- maximum tlutles on United States bicycles, resins and machinery, especially designating them as. United States products, the Russian Government has. it is not doubted, made just such a discrimination as is provided against in this article of the treaty. There is no penalty article In the treaty, but under the common practice of international law, a country may denounce the whole of a treaty where it is satisfied that one of Its provisions has been purposely broken. If such extreme action Is taken In the case, there will be no trade treaty between Russia and the United States, and, as far as Russia is concerned, the customs tar iffs, which are practically prohibitive, would apply to all Imports from the United States. On the other hand, If such action by Russia is regarded as discrimination, the United States Government may, by existing law, exclude any or all Imports from Russia. A PURELY COMMERCIAL 3IATTER. Cassini Says No Political Signifi cance Can Be Attached to It. WASHINGTON, June 19. Count Cas sini, the Russian Ambassador. In dis cussing today the latest phase of the tar iff issue which has arisen between Russia and the United States, said that the is sues do not seem to him to be very grave, and he is hopeful that they will be sat isfactorily adjusted. He said that the action of Russia was an economic move, pure and simple. Count Cassini said that no political significance could be attached to a matter of purely commercial nature. Count Cassini further said: "Each government undoubtedly Is act ing according to its view of what the situation requires, and not in any general spirit of antagonism. America Is recog nized as a great commercial nation, and the splendid products of Its Industry and Invention are welcome to Russia. On the other hand, It Is desirable that this exchange shall be mutual and reciprocal, and if this view prevails, there Is no doubt that American goods will continue to be welcomed In Russia." "Russia's action," he said, "certainly had absolutely nothing to do with any European movement against American goods." MINISTER DE WITTE MISTAKEN. Judge Somcrville's Opinion of the Russian Retaliatory Duty. NEW YORK, June 19. The attention of Judge Henderson M. Somervllle, chair man of the board of classification of the United States General Appraisers, was called lately to the statement of M. de Wltte, the Russian Minister of Finance, on the Russian sugar decision. Judge Somervllle wrote the opinion of the ma jority of the board in the decision made last April, holding that the laws of Rus sia bestowed an indirect bounty on the exportation of her sugar products, with in the meaning of section 5 of the present tariff act. He stated among other things when questioned about M. de WUte's re cent observations: "The question as to the construction of the Russian law governing the produc tion and exportation of sugar is purely a legal one The legal aspects of the sub ject seem, however, to be entirely over looked in the political and fiscal attitude It has assumed under the retaliatory tar iff war which Russia Is waging against American industries. The criticisms of Secretary Gage's action In this matter are exceedingly unjust and are mani festly based on a shallow view of the law governing the official duties of the Secretary of the Treasury. In the first place, M. de Wltte Is mistaken in the as sertion that the Secretary based his rul-. lng merely upon the report and opinion of the American Consul, Mr. Halloway. He had before him the Russian law and' regulations in all their intricacies of pur pose and phraseology, and passed fully on the merits of the question. "The policy of Russia In refusing to dis cuss the subject has been followed up by a recent order of the Minister of Fi nance, made since the board's decision, forbidding the prices of transferable i certificates any longer to be quoted In the stock markets. Can the purpose of this action be otherwise than to conceal from the courts In this country evidence of a kind which goes to establish the existence and exact nature of the Russian Govern ment bounty on sugar? The recent con vention of American manufacturers held at Detroit really perceived the remedy for the existing evils (If any) disturbing trade and exciting a tariff war between this country and Russia. They placed the responsibility where It belongs, and called on the Congress of the United States to .modify section 5 of the Dlngley tariff act, knowing that It is for that body and not for the courts to amend or repeal laws by legislation. The Judicial function is confined to construction, and does not permit legislation." RED BOOK ON SPANISH WAR Diplomatic Correspondence During an Eventful Period. WASHINGTON! June 19. The American red book for 1895, comprising the foreign relations during the eventful period of the Spanish-American War, has Just made its appearance. It contains an exhaustive summary of the official correspondence. The Dupiiy de Lome Incident and the blowing up of the Maine are treated under separate heads. The nrst official notifi cation to Spain that the- United States ex pected the Independence of Cuba was in a dispatch from Secretary Day to Minis ter Woodford, on March 28, 1898. The Pres ident had previously Instructed Mr. Wood ford to endeavor to have Spain grant Cuba "full self-government." Spain at once asked the meaning of this term. In reply Secretary Day cabled: "Full self government with Indemnity would mean Cuban Independence." It appears that just before the war broke out, Minister Woodford 6ent word that the Queen Regent, yielding to the request of the pope, was about to decree a termination of the war in Cuba for a period of six months. Mr. Woodford was hopeful this would avert a crisis in the trouble between Spain and the United States, but this hope was not realized, as Congress soon after adopted the reso lutions of Intervention. The peace negotiations,.both in Washing ton and Paris, aro. glren in extenso When the acquisition ot the Philippines came up, Secretary Hay cabled Mr. Day, saying: "The sentiment in the United States is almost universal that the people of the Philippines, whatever else be done must be liberated from Spanish domination. In this sentiment the President fully concurs. Nor can we permit Spain to transfer any of the Islands to another power. Nor can we Invite another power or powers to join the United States In sovereignty over them. We must either hold them or turn them back tojSpaln. Consequently grave as are the responsibilities and unforseen difficulties which are' before us, the Pres ident can se"e but one plain plan of duty the acceptance of the archipelago." Early In the war the State Department directed our Ambassador at London to sound the British Government discreetly upon war vessels using the Suez Canal. In reply it was stated that the British Government held that we were unques tionably entitled to the use of the canal for warships. The declarations of neutrality by most of the foreign governments except Ger many are given, sand aa to Germany, Ambassador Whl4.k gives h, conference with B$ron von Ujfiow, In which rthe lat ter says that Germany has not for 20 years issued a proclamation of neutrality. The foreign relations with other coun tries during 1898 also are treated. Few of the incidents are of Importance. It appears, however, that Mr. Sherman, then Secretary of State, had a spirited ex change with the Austrian Minister at Washington, Hengel Mueller. The latter had said that his government would hold the United States Government responsible for the rioting at Lattlmer, Pa. Secre tary Sherman took sharp Issue with "the remarkable language" used by the Min ister, and registered an absolute dissent from some of his views. Chinese affairs are treated only In the initial stages of the trouble. None of Mr. Conger's interesting dispatches notes the action of the Empress Dowager in compelling the Emperor to decree her high regent. INCREASES ITS CAPITAL. Amalgamated Copper Company Pre paring to Bny Butte Mines. TRENTON, N. J., June 19. The Amal. gamated Copper Company filed papers to day increasing its capital stbek from $75, 000,000 to $155,000,000. The purpose of the Increase Is to purchase the Butte & Bos ton and Boston & Montana Companies, which Is permitted by the decision of the Court of Errors and Appeals yesterday re- fusing to continue the temporary injunc tion.

It was announced here this afternoon that the National Shawmut Bank had received a majority of Boston & Montana and Butte & Bos ton copper shares deposited for the pur pose of the carrying out of the transfer of those properties to the Amalgamated Copper Company. It appears that the de cision of the Court of Errors and Appeals was broad enough to reach the last ob stacle to the consolidation of Amalgam ated and Boston & Montana and Butte & Boston. The National Shawmut Bank, Immediately began giving receipts in ex change for Kidder, Peabody &. Co.'s re ceipts for Montana and Butte shares, and will deliver Amalgamated shares for the receipts as soon as possible. i Rockefeller Wants an Omaha Bank. OMAHA, Neb., June 19.

Several bankers were seen today, but declined to discuss the mattter, and denied any knowledge of the negotiations or that they had received offers. President Kountze, of the First National Bank, said there was a possi bility of sUch a purchase by the Stand ardCoil Interests. It Is understood that that company Is to establish a chain of banks along the Missouri River, and that the Kansas City and Omaha deals are now pending.

WASHINGTON, June 10. In some sort of a delicate way the Administration has made it known to Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, that he would scarcely be acceptable as chairman of the committee on foreign relations. Those who know the undercurrent of affairs are aware that the Administration was opposed to Lodge having this place from the beginning. He Is a lHtle too much given to twisting the lion's tall; or baiting any other foreign government with whom he personally disagrees. Lodge will not be made chairman of the committee on for eign relations, and that he has come to realize this was shown In a dispatch from Washington which stated that the Importance of the next session ot Con gress would lie in Philippine legislation; and on that account the Administration had indicated to Senator Lodge its desire that he should remain at the head of the committee on Philippines, where he Is at present in order to carry out such Philippine legislation as will be necessary In the next Congress. The further atatement was made that Senator Frye would become chairman of the foreign relations committee. It was also said that many Republican Senators had re quested Senator Lodge to remain at the head of the Philippines committee. This was no doubt true. Whether or not Frye will accept the place offered him is still an unsolved problem. The probabilities are that he will. If James McMillan will consent to become chairman of the committee on commerce. in a National organization strong enough to name a party nominee, was launched here this afternoon. The conference was called by Lee Merrlwether, of St Louis, who, with 22 other St Louis leaders in the public ownership party of that city, came to Kansas City yesterday after a visit to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln, where the intentions of the delegation had been laid before the Nebraska statesman. Mr. Bryan, it was stated, had expressed sym pathy with the movement, if he had not gone so far as to support it At the con ference there was represented Populists of all persuasions, public ownership advo cates, free-silver Republicans, socialists, slngle-taxers and Bryan Democrats. It was stated that It was pro posed to form a third party in Missouri, which should finally be taken up by the dissatisfied In the old parties from other states. A committee or organi zation was appointed and Instructed to re port today. The committee, which repre sented each element present, today sub mitted a set of resolutions embodying the following as the new party's principles, and they were adopted: Public ownership of all public utilities, as railroads, telegraphs, etc.; while await ing the legislation to secure public own ership, rigid public control of freight and passenger rates and severe penal ties for rebates and other discriminations by railroads; taxation of railroads and other public utility corporations In the same proportion as the values of farm and other property; direct legislation by the Initiative and referendum, to the end that the people may Initiate good legis lation and veto bad legislation; a gradu ated income tax, to the end that wealth, which receives Government protection. shall bear Its Just share of the cost of government; that whatever Is used as money shall be full legal tender. Issued by the general Government In sufficient vol ume for business purposes, and that vol ume offered In proportion to population; just election laws throughout the state; home rule for cities, and abolition of the present system for using the police as a standing army to carry primary elections In the Interest of dishonest politicians representing still more dishonest special privilege corporations; election of United States Senators by popular vote. This afternoon the convention organized by electing J. H. Cook, Fusion Populist, chairman; J. H. Hlllls, Middle-of-the-Road Populist, vice-chairman, and F. S. Kowalskl, public ownership member, sec retary. Resolutions eulogizing the work of the late H. S. Plngree, of Michigan, were adopted. J. H. Cook, chairman of the Populist State Central Committee, stated that he would soon Issue a call to some of the state Populist committees, at least those In Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado, Inviting them to take up the work of uniting the reform forces In the country Into a new third party with the ultimate purpose of effecting a Na tional organization. Mr. Merrlwether this afternoon at the conclusion of the conference was asked: "Will not your movement only result In turning the state over to the Republi cans?" "I do not know, but I would a little rather the Republicans would win than the present organization of Democrats. As Mr. Bryan said to me last Monday: I like an enemy under his own colors bet ter than one who steals my colors.' " Bryan Not Affiliated With It. ATLANTA, Ga., June 19. The Atlanta Constitution tonight. In response to a telegram of Inquiry, received a dispatch from W. J. Bryan denying that he is affiliated with the third party movement. Mr. Bryan's telegram reads: "Iowa City, la., June 19. The Constitu tion, Atlanta: Telegram received. No truth in report. W. J. BRYAN." Allison Favors Shaw's Candidacy. DES MOINES, la.. June 19. Governor Shaw received a letter this afternoon from Senator William B. Allison, in reply to the telegram sent last Saturday suggest ing the name of the Senator for the Pres idency. The letter Is purely a personal one.-. the Governor states, and he does not desire to make the general contents pub lic at the present time. The Governor ad- PHILIPPINES COMMITTEE. mitted that the Senator stated In the let ter that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for the Presidency, but assured Mr. Shaw that he was In favor of his being a candidate, and believed that the State of Iowa owed it to the Gov ernor to support him and send a delega tion to the National convention to that end. He further stated that he believed that the delegation could be easily se cured. Negro Question in Alabama, NEW YORK, June 19. Henry D. Clay ton, of Alabama, one of the Democratic leaders of the House, and a member of the Democratic National Committee. Is quoted In a Washington special to the Tribune as follows concerning the gen eral movement in the South for the dis franchisement of the negro: "We of the South are not afraid to grapple with this negro question as It should be grappled with. Democratic su premacy has been maintained In the South In spite of negro suffrage, and that su premacy will be all the more secure when the blacks are wholly disfranchised as we witness In Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina. As to the reduction of our representation In Congress and the electoral college because of, negro dis franchisement, I regard that as political bluster pure und simple." Rovr in the Italian Chamber. ROME, June 19. During the budget de bate In the Chamber of Deputies, Baron Sonnlno, ex-Mlnlsfar of the Treasury, se verely attacked the Cabinet on the sub ject of the recent strikes In Italy, and at tributed the appalling economic condition existing today In tfhe country to the gov ernment's attitude In this matter.
