TREATY IS OFFERED
Nicaragua Proposes to Estab
lish Firm Government.
ESTRADA SENDS MESSAGE
President of Southern Jtepuhlic
Would Ko--Mabll-li Friendly de
lations, and Suggests Plan for
Paying All Claims.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. A definite
programme for the establishment of a
stable government in Nicaragua and
for the financial rejuvenation of the
country was set before the American
Government today f.Tr Its approval, in
njent
ilTspat
long iITspatch from Provisional Presl-
dent i-trada. which Senor Salvatore
Castrillo. Nicaraguan representative in
Washington, presented to Huntington
Wilson. Assistant Secretary of Slnte.
First of all 'resident Estrada wishes
to re-establish friendly relations with
the United States.
He suggests that the American Gov
ernment arpoint a high commissioner
to visit Nicaragua, one with full pow
ers to negotiate. If necessary, a treaty
covering all the claims which the
I'nited Slates now has against Nic
aragua. orfers Made to Pity Claims.
These include the claim for indem-
nity
for the execution of the Ameri
cans. Groce and Lannon. ana tne
Kmerv claim. The Nicaraguan govern
ment desires to settle these claims and
to get money to pay them. President
Kstrada expressed his desire to nego
tiate a loan which would be guaran
teed by the setting nside of one per
cent of Nicaragua's customs receipts.
in the matter of re-establishing the
government of Nicaragua on a firmer
basis, the president stated that a con
stitutional convention would be called,
probably the latter part of this month
or the fore part of October, to rec
ognize him as provisional president
and to fix a date "on which a National
election should be held.
Situation Is Discussed.
Senator Castrillo. representing the
Estrada government, had a long con
ference today Willi Mr. Dawson, the
retiring thief of the Latin-American
Bureau, regarding Nicaraguan affairs
generally.
Judging from the experience of the
Cubans, it might fairly be expected
that the election of an assembly and
the enactment of laws by that body
providing for the presidential election
would consume a period of six months
and an equal length of time would be
required for the election Itself- and
the Inauguration of the new perma
nent president. It is expected that
within a few days Estrada will issue
decrees providing for the election of
a constituent assembly as the initial
step.
ALL THREE CLAIM VICTORY
(I'omlnued From First T'jge.)
ar in the race. Stanton Warburton and
Maurice Langhorne, the latter a Demo
crat. Warburton particularly has been mak
ing an agirresKive campaign. Charles
Claypool. of Olympia. has a large num
ber of friends in Pierce County, has
been maintaining headquarters here for
a couple of weeks and his friends have
been working hard In the hustle for
votes. Representative W. W. McC'redie.
who seeks re-election, has also many
friends in Pierce, but has devoted less
time to campaigning in this county
than any of his opponents.
Estimates are that in this district,
the second. 20.000 to 25.000 rotes will
be cast for Representative, and of these
40 per cent, will be cast by Pierce Coun
ty. Some prophets predict that 7500
will name the nominee tomorrow. -The
last time he ran. the late W. F. Cusli
nien received l?.bl2 votes.
Warburton la confident he will carry
Pierce County. McCredle will get a
good many Ashton votes, on the theory
that the southwest is entitled to a Rep
resentative, if Tacoma gets a Senittor.
In the Senatorial situation, the gen
eral consensus of- opinion tonight Is
that Ashton will easily carry Pierce
County, with Poindexter second and
Judge Burke a poor last. Ashton man
agers are claiming that 80 to 90 per
cent of the Pierce County vote will be
cast for the Tacoma candidate. "A vote
for Ashton is a vote for Tacoma," has
been the slogan throughout, especially
this week, and the Importance of hav
ing a Tacoma man in the Senate has
been repeatedly brought before the
people.
The campaign was brought to a close
tonight with a big rally at the Tacoma
Theater, addressed by Mr. Ashton and
prominent citizens.
Poindexter's friends in Tacoma are
equally sanguine and are freely claim
ing tonight that he will carry Pierce
County tomorrow by about 5000 vote.
They are relying a great deal on the
strength of the "insurgent" movement.
Poindexter has been devoting consider
able attention to this city and has had
the support of a local Scrippa paper,
which has literally "gone the limit" for
him. There have been Ashton rallies
and Poindexter rallies, but no Burke
meetings have been held In Tacoma at
all. although Judge Burke has made an
occasional visit here.
Pierce County lies entirely between
Ashton and Poindexter. Two years ago.

YVilh Death or Solicitor-General
I.oncrs, "asel. Who Cunics From

Is Logical Candidate.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. The name of
Clmrlea Nagel. Secretary of. Commerce
and Labor, has replaced that of the lato
Solicitor-Oencrfil Bowers In the gossip of
Washington on the expected appoint
mcnts to the present and prospective
vacancies in the Supreme Court.
More apparent substance if) given to
tho mention of Mr. Js'aeel because he
hails from the eighth circuit, which al
though It embraces 13 states, west of
the Mississippi, has been, without a rep
resentative on the Supreme Bench sinca
the death of Jnstlce Brewer. With tho
death of -Mr. Bowers, the rumors re
garding Mr. Nagel become decidedly
worthy of attention.
Secretary Nagel was born in Texas in
149, but has lived In Misurl nearly all
his life. Part of his education was re-
reived in German universities. In the
lMct few years he has been prominent tn
politics, having been an active member
of the Republican National committee in

accept the provisions of the rfecent Oon
greeoional enactment, allowing him to re
tire on a pension on account oi in

chief justiceship, for this position, it
said, tlie President has in mind Governor

4 m ARE SUSPECTED
PETKCTIVI.S HAVK CLFAV TO
ALASKAN GOLD ROBBERS.
Ol'icers Believe Bullion Was Stolen
Soon ATter Yukon Steamer
Left Fairbanks.
SKATTLE, Sept. 12. Detectives work
ing on tlie $57,500 express robbery, are
proceeding on the theory that the gold
was stolen soon after the steamer car
rying it left Fairbanks on August 20.
Suspicion rests on four men, who are
under surveillance at Fairbanks but
have not been arrested.
The suspected men are a clerk in the
AVashlngton-Alaska Bank of Fairbanks,
a relief of tlie purser of the steamer
Tanana. and two miners.
No arrests will be made until more
evidence is obtained.
The use of the duplicate bank seal
on the boxes by the robbers gave the
detectives the first clew. This, with
evidence gathered against the clerk,
leads the agents to believe that an
employe of the Tanana, who had acted
as a relief for the purser, was "fixed"
and permitted the two miners to enter
the private compartments in which the
treasure was stored.
Bv means of a jimmy, it is believed,
they pried off tlie iron band protect
ing the seals, removed the end of the
box. extracted the gold, and substi
tuted the leadin its place. Tlie seal,
wires and band were then replaced
and the seal and wax of the bank dup
licated. .Immediately after tlie boat landed
at Tanana the two miners left for the
hills, where, they told acquaintances,
they intended to hunt. They have not
been seen since.
The Alaska Pacific Express Company
Jisclaims any responsibility for the loss
of the gold, alleging that tlie boxes
were accepted by them at Dawson and
delivered to the assay office exactly as
received. If tlie gold is not recovered
a lawsuit will be necessary to settle
the responsibility. The Alaska Com
pany maintains that the boxes must
have been rifled before reaching Daw
son. The Humboldt ' Steamship Company,
which in 12 years has carried $15,000.
000 from Skngway to Seattle without
loss of a penny, insists that the gold
was not stolen on the Humboldt.
It is expected that the thieves will
ultimately be caught when they try to
dispose of the bars. Tanana gold has
Its own color, and can be readily Iden
tified. Any attempt to sell the stolen
bars in Alaska or Seattle would be
fatal to the thieve, and every mint and
assay office in the United States will
be on the lookout for Tanana gold that
Is offered.
SUMRTER BLOCK IS BURNED
Only Heroic Work of Men and Wom
en Saves City.
SUMPTEH. Or., Sept. 12. A disas
trous fire broke out here at 7 o'clock
Sunday morning, which, in its earlier
stages, threatened the destruction of
the whole city. Most of the block of
buildings bounded by Mill. Center. Au

away. Only the heroic work of the fire
department, with the assistance of almost
every man in town, saved the city. The
buildings are tlie old Griffin Hotel, the
Golden Eagle Hotel and the smaller struc
tures surrounding these two.
A great fight was made to save Taylor's
livery barn, which was done after earnest
work by the "fire fighters. The Catholic
church. Immediately In the rear of the
Golden Bugle Hotel and in the same,
block, also hud a narrow escape. Even the
ladies of the city took a hand, and
many of them helped to remove mov

There was no insurance on any of the
buildings destroyed.

racing madly for his home, where his
reconciled wife awaited him, Joseph
Riznuck of Muriel street, South Side,
was arrested last evening:- by Patrol
man James Coen. Running- close be

clared that Riznuck had snatched the
cover from his dinner table, which
had been set for tlie evening meal.
Riznuck and his wife had been sepa
rated. Yesterday they effected a recon
ciliation. Riznuck wanted to do up a
little love feast in the grandest pos
sible style and with the best manner
of appointments, even if he had to
wreck a neighbor's dinner table to
do it.
The Winters famiily sat reading
newspapers around the house await
ing the call td dinner. On the snow
white table cover stood a bounteous
feed with all the correct table ap
pointments. Poor Riznuck. no longer
estranged from his better half, peeped
inside and instantly determined to
transfer the table setting to his own
household. He did not get far. The
big policeman thought it was a ghost
until he saw Riznuck behind the flar
