STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING
New York, Dec 23. A special to
the Herald from Washington bays:
All danger of further friction be
tween the TJniteu States and Great
Britain oyer the construction of the
Nicaragua canal will shortly be re-
moyed by the abrogation of the Clay-
Son-Balwer treaty.'- Sir Julian Paunce
fote, the British ambassador, has re
ceived or will receive within the next
few days positive instruction? to enter
upon negotiations with Secretary Hay
for the abrogation of the convention
referred to, and the preparation of a
new treaty guaranteeing the neutral
ity of the canal.
The change in the attitude of the
British government from its old pos
ition of insisting upon having a voice
in the construction of the proDosed
canal in the result of representations
made to Lord Salisbury by Mr. Henry
White, charge d'affaires of this gov
ernment in London. It is the under
standing of those who are aware of
the ' change in the attitude of the
British government that Lord Salis
bury will suggest through Sir Julian
the advisability of the United States
granting some concessions to his
government in the return for the re-
linguishmeDt of the important rights
possessed by Great . Britain in the
matter of a canal across the isthumus,
which for nearly 50 years have been
recognized by this government in the
treaty negotiated by John M. Clayton,'
on the part of the United States,, and
Lord Henry Lytton-Bulwer, on the
part oi theV3riti8h government.. .

TWO KEEP DEWEY IN SERVICE,
Congress Will Be 'Asked to Keep the Ad-
y miralon the Active List.
New York, Dec. 26. A Herald
Bpecial from Washington says: Unless
congress should pass a law authorizing
him to remain on the active list, Rear-
Admiral Dewey will be placed on the
retired list on December 26, 1899. Only
0& 4 other retirement will occur next
year, that oi Uommonore a. Li. tlowis
son, now commandant of the Boston
navy-yard. There is a strong senti
ment in nayal circles in favor of the
passage of a law which will permit the
retention of Admiral Dewey upon the
active list for lu years, as was done in
the case of heroes of the civil war.
Reports from Manila that Admiral
Dewey desires to return home are not
believed by department official!), their
advices from him indicating that he
desires to remain in the Philippines.
It is not expected here that he will
be detached from command of the
Asiastic station until just in time to
reach the United States on the eve of
his retirement. -

Chicago, Dec. 26. A special to the

mas day was ushered into Havana by
the cracking of revolvers and rattling
volleys from Mauser rifles in an affray
which occurred near the center of the
city between the Spanish troops garri
soning the ' city and the Cuban resi
dents. One Cuban was fatally wound
ed, two others were badly injured and
a Spanish' soldier was stabbed. . A
Cuban negro, who received three
wounds made by Mauser bullets and a
bad cut across the forehead, is report
ed to be dying.
The affair was brought about by the
Cubans, who fired from a housetop on
a company of soldiers asleep in the
Hotel Roma. .The soldiers jumped to
their feet and at once returned the
fire; A company of infantry scaled a
low wall on one side of the building
and hunted over tne rooftops for the
individuals who -did the firing. They
found a negro badly wounded and
carried , him . down. Other injured
men were carried away by their friends.
The volleyinglof thr Mausers caused
alarm among-the 'Americans, many
fearing the fighting would become
general . throughout the city. An
affray on Christmas night between the
Cubans and troops has been prophe
sied by those whd have watched events
of the past few days.

the Journal from Washington says
Archbishop Ireland will represent the
United States at the czar's peace con
gress. The president has had the
subject under advisement for several
weeks, and according to the best au
thority it may be said the decision was
recently reached, the archbishop hav
ing agreed to accept this appointment.
Eyer since his induction into office
the president has bees anxious to
testify his appreciation of Ireland's
republicanism, which took the form of
strong interviews and speeches during
the campaig n of 1896, and of his men
tal gifts and learning. The. czar's 'call
for an international peace congress at
which his proposal for universal disar
mament is to be discussed, has pre
sented an exceptional opportunity to
honor Ireland in an illustrious manner.
As the representative of the United
States in such assemblage his position
would comport with the dignity of his
ecclesiastical office, while not interfer
ing with its duties, owing to the tem
porary character of the political appointment.

Dewey Aska for Hen to Ban HIa Three
Captured Vessels.
New York, Dec. 27. A special to
the Herald from Washington says: A
cablegram has been received at the
nayy department from Rear Admiral
Dewey asking for the immediate dis
patch of officers and men for service
on the three captured Spanish vessels
which are to be refitted and added to
his fleet.
Owing to the mustering out of vol
unteer officers, the Department will
find it rather difficult to comply with
the request. Captain Crowinshield,
however, is doing the best he can to
provide the officers and men desired,
and arrangements are now being made
to send a transport with them through
the Suez canal.
Department authorities are anxious
i commission the naval cadets who
are now undergoing a course of sea
duty preliminary to final graduation.
But this cannot be done legally unless
congress passes the' pending naval
bill. There is a provision in this bill
which expressly opens the way for the
immediate assignment of these cadets
to duty as officers. ,

I never dreamed of such clothes even
in my dreams of Heaven. But the
French are an extravagant race. There
was hardly a gown, worn last season
which was not of the most delicate tex
ture, garnished with chiffon and illu
sion and tulle the moat cruahable,
airy, inflammable, unserviceable ma
terial one can think of. Now, I am a
utilitarian. When I see a white gown
I always wonder if it will wash. If I
see lace on the foot ruffle of a gown
I think how it will' sound when the
wearer steps on it going upstairs. But
anything would be serviceable to wear
driving in a victoria in the Bois between
five and seven, and as that is where I
have seen the most beautiful costumes
1 have no right to complain, or- to
thrust at them my American ideas of
usefulness. This raee of theirs for
beauty is what makes a perpetual
honeymoon for the eyes of every inch
of France. The way Jhey study color
and put greens together in their land

horror of our prairies and sagebrush.

"Yes, he was a mean man," said a
visitor to a St. Louis host the other
day, according to the Sunday Bepublic.
"How ? Tell me about i tM questioned
the host.
"Well, this man I speak of was the
champion stingy man of our country.
He kept a good-sized wooden ring in his
pocket, and when he went to the store
to buy eggs he would try every one of
those eggs in the ring. If they were
small enough to go through the ring he
would not take them. He bought noth
ing but large eggs, you see. He believed
in getting everything possible for bis
money."
"I never heard of such, a thing,"
ejaculated the St. Louis man. .
"Of course you didn't," said the vis
itor. "Nobody else ever heard of such
meanness. Why, he used to give his
children a nickel apiece to go to bed
without their euppers. The next morn
ing he would charge them a nickel
apiece for their breakfasts. Saving
game, wasn't it?"
"Say, that's a fish story ! " shouted the
St. Louis man, indignantly.

we were sitting at dinner one nirht

some one was walking around in my

No one was there, but every drawer in
the room was open and all my jewelry

I kept in my room were gone. It took
live or six keys to get at 4hem all, as
I had been very particular about keep
ing them locked up. I had not been
out of the room more than 15 minutes,
and how anyone not familiar with every
inch of the house, could have accom

was a peculiar odor. It was like s mix

Ha aud Brous-bt
Town.
Among the wills that were probated .
the other day was that of a negro black
smith named Austin Thompson, whoae
shop was on Sycamore street. There is
a story connected with this man's name
that is worth telling, says the Lexington
(Ky.) Herald.
Just after the war old Benjamin F.
Graves was county judge. He was an
eccentrio man, very peculiar in many
ways, very honest and very positive.
He ruled with a strong hand. One day
Austin Thompson, who lived in the
county, was brought before him
charged with hog stealing. The meat
was found upon his premises, but he
had made no effort at concealment.
He acknowledged having the hog and
killing it, but insisted that he bought
the hog from another negro, who rep
resented it as his own. Judge Graves
inquired if he could "bring that other
nigger into court." He was answered. .
somewhat doubtfully. The old judge
then answered to Austin that he "must
bring that other nigger in, dead or
alive."
A day or two afterward Austin drove
up with a cart to the judge's office, and
entering informed his honor that hs
had his man. . -
"Bring him in," said the Judge. 1 .
"I can't," said Austin; "he's dead."
He hod followed the old judge's in
structions to the letter. The other
negro refused to accompany Austin to
town, and so Austin killed him.
Of course it caused an immense sen
sation in the community, and there -was
talk of impeaching the judge and
of hanging Austin. But nothing after
all was done about it, and the matter
was allowed to drop.
THIS IS CORN.
sa TuUkc Tkrat It Trappa Bv
Hiaarr Cooas. , . . .
The Little Bock Democrat is the au
thority for the kind of corn lands they
have in that particularly blessed region.
It says: Eight or ten- years or so ago
there was a lake near Morrilton cover
ing about 10,000 acres. When the big
floods came two years ago, an opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried eff all the water of this lake .
when the floods subsided. The bed of
the lake dried up and left the richest
soil the world ever saw. It is ten feet
deep, and nothing the Biver Nile ever
produced could excel it. This year Mills
& Hallry have a crop of corn on about
1,000 acres of this land. They sowed
the corn broadcast like wheat, and the
stalks nrc as strong as saplings, and
scores cf "shoots" are also loaded down.
"It is the most remarkable corn crop
ever produced in the world," declared
Prof. Cox. and, to make the story even
more interesting, he ended it by de
claring that a "coon" was caught be
tween the stalks, and, being unable to
extricate - itself because they were so
thick, was lulled by those who came
upon it, ' ' . . ;
