BURY AT WORK
No Attempt Will Be Made to Unravel
the Tangled Skeirj of Diplomacy
Which Enmeshes the Clayton-Bul-wer
Treaty, but a Fresh Start Will
Be Taken England Will Concede
American Interests Paramourt
New York, Jan. 23. The Tribune's
London correspondeut writes: The
Nicargua canal question has been taken
up bv Secretary Hay and Lord Salisbury
in a practical rather than a controversal
way. It is not believed that either of
theBe statesmen is anxiouB to attempt to
. unravel the tangled skein of- diplomacy
with which the Clayton-Bulwar treaty
has been enmeshed in the course of 50
years. They will prefer to make a
fresh start in a spirit of mutual accom
modation and good feeling.
The practical business now in hand is
that of adopting the Glayton-Bulwer
treaty to new conditions affecting the
interests of both countries. The com
mercial interests of the world and the
highest ends of civilization will be pro
moted by the construction of a water
way through Central America, One
country may be more directly interested
than the other in the completion and
control of the inter-oceanic canal, but
both England and America will benefit
commercially by ' the opening of the
waterway, and neither can have any
adequate motive for hampering or re
tarding a great work which will con
tribute to the progress and civilization
of the world. .
- On the other hand the truth is recog
nized in England that America's inter
ests in the Nicaragua canal hava ma
terially increased since the negotiation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It is
now essential as a military work for
uniting the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific
coasts and for concentrating the naval
forcee: As a power with possessions in
the East and West Indies it will be an
essential link in the American impartial
system as the Suez canal is in the; Brit
ish empire.
The Panama enterprise has- warned
British ministers that a private com
pany cannot undertake so fcreat a work
without a vast increase of financial out
lay. They are convinced that the success of
the Nicaragua canal as an engineering
and financial undertaking will be ' im
practicable under the management of a
private - company, whereas with the
credit of the United States government
behind it, the bonds will be floated
above par and the enterprise be released
from the burdens of high rates of in
terest. On this account the . British
government will readily consent to alter
the treaty so as to allow - the United
States to construct the canal and to be
responsible for its regulation and con

RACE WITH DEATH

Broke Loose.
Two Idaho Fatalities.
Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 23. Mrs.
Henry Tobin was drowned in the Clear
water river Friday night, just after 9
o'clock. She deliberately walked into
the water with suicidal intent. ' A small
boy witnessed the tragedy. An alarm
was immediately given, but the body
has not been recovered. The unfortun
ate woman is said to have lost her mind
over trouble. The family came here
from Walla Walla. They lost a fortune
by the Edmiston bank failure three
years ago. Henry Tobin tried to shoot
the banker but failed on account of his
revolver being loaded with blank cart
ridges. Mrs. Tobin is said to have taken
the ball cartridges out of the pistol to
save her husband from the consequences
of murder. Tobin pursued and shot the
banker, but the blank loads caused no
serious injury.
The little 2-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. T. McCarty was burned to
death Friday at the home of the family
at Melrose, on the reservation, about 20
miles from this place. The father was
away from home' at the time. The
mother was in the corral when she
heard the'ecreams of her daughter, who
came running toward Mrs. McCarty
with her dress afire. The child had
been burned so seriously that she died
within an hour. .'. )

difficulty by the family and servants.
The young lady, who was 23 years old
and noted for her beauty and talents,
lingered in great agony for several
hours, when she expired.
HAUGHTY DONS
TAUGHT A LESSON
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Jan. 23.
While nearly 100 persons were on the
great ice - bridge in the gorge of the
Niagara river, the ice mass was broken
loose from the banks at either end.
There were thousands of Sunday sight
seers in the parks and upon the upper
arch enjoying the beauty of the chryetal
like structure. They heard the cracking
of the ice and -saw the great mass as it
was moving by the ..swift current of the
river, and hundreds shouted warning to
those on the bridge.
Some of these venturesome persons
had only gone a short distance from the
river bank, while others were out in the
center of the bridge and were crossing
the river. Those near the end soon
found safety, but further out toward
the center were a number of small boys.
Before they were fairly started forthe
shore the great bridge was loosened from
its fastenings. Then' it became a race
for life, but the youngsters, amid wild
shouts, finally reached the shore.
It was seen then than that all except
three pereons bad reached places, of
safety. One was a man not far from
the New Yerk side. ' The others were a
man and a woman who were fleeing
across the ice to the Canadian side.
The man near the New York shore
kept his courage well. His - eyes were
directed toward the steel arch under
which be would pass if the ice continued
to move down the river. Onward "It
went, and jaet as it reached the bridge
he leaped from the ice. and caught the
aich as it rises not far out from the
abutment. The man and woman made
record time meanwhile and safely
reached the Canadian shore.'

New York, Jan. A dispatch to the
Herald -from Havana says: Captain
Eaton, of the auxiliary cruiser Resolute,
captured a 20-foot Spanish flag in the
harbor and incidentally taught the
Spaniards a lesson in manners.
A Spanish schooner of about 70 tons
sailed alongside the Resolute, when it
hove to, and with a cheer of defiance
from the men aboard, an immense
Spanish flag was run up to the mast-
bead, with the Cuban flag beneath it.
Captain Eaton was forced to recognize
the insult, and ordered Naval Cadet Nar
rant and Marine Officer Thorp, with a
file of marines into a steam launch,
which speedily overtook the Spaniard.
The captain refused to obey the order
to lower the flag, whereon the marines
went aboard and took forcible possession
of the Spanish flag, leaving the Cuban
flag flying at the masthead.
The occupants of the schooner were
then compelled to give three cheers for
the Cuban and. American flags after
which the vessel was allowed to proceed
The captured flag will . bev held as a
prize. - .

Newark to the Pacific coast, the com-'
missioned naval force of the United
States is about equally divided between
the two oceans.
At the present time there are sta;
tioned in Atlantic waters two battle
ships, two armoured cruisers, one

Bis I.ife Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling of it be says: "I was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia. My lungs became hardened.. I
was so weak I couldn't even sit up in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon . die of consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I can't eay too much in its
praise." This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the world
for all throat and lung trouble. Regular

A Change of Front
San Fbancisco, Jan. 23. The attor
neys for Mrs, Cordelia Botkin appeared
before Judge Cook today; and asked for
a continuance, on the ground that Mrs.
Botkin has been convicted of a crime in
a state which lacken jurisdiction in
the matter.
' It will be remembered that when
extradition proceedings were in progress,
with the possibility of Mrs. Botkin 'be
ing sent to Delaware for trial, her at
torneys fought strenuously ' for the trial
to be held here, arguing, with success ,
that pelaware lacked jurisdiction. '
