Washington, Aug. 28. Five hundred
marines are now In Nicaragua. When
the Tenth Infantry, with Cloonel Hen
ry Greene commanding, arrives the
American force there will total 2000
men.
The state department's request that
soldiers be sent to Niclragua sets an
Important precedent In America's re
lation with the Latin republics. Early
In July Nicaragua confessed Inability
to cope with General Mena command
er of the revolutionary forces, and
.asked American assistance In main
taining peace, hence the "Invasion."
This, diplomats here say, doeB not con.

DISCUSSES
THE CANAL
AllD TREATY
UNITED PRESS UHKD WIKE.1
London Aug. 28. Lord Strathcona,
Interviewed on the question of the
Panama canal, deprecated too much
public discussion, pending further de
velopments. . ''If the treaty," he said, "had been
passed as originally Intended, so that
every nation would have free and un
restricted use of the canal, it would
have been of great benefit to every
country doing trade with the west
coast. It would have facilitated and
cheapened the transportation of pas
sengers and of goods, which form so
large a portion of the traffic of the
railways.
"If these discriminating provisions,
however, should come Into operation,
they would seriously hamper other na
tions which carry so much overseas
trade, We look upon It as an absolute
wrong, especially to Great Britain,
that this Interpretation should have
been placed upon the treaty.
"The foreign officers will doubtless
put the matter before the American
people In the proper light, and we
have the assurance that a very large
body of Americans are not satisfied
that it Bhould be left as It. how
standi."

Whether it is an affiliated line of

should be ousted from the senate."

III THE FIGHT TO III
LAW SAYS OFFICERS FAILING
TO PERFORM DUTIES SHALL
FORFEIT THEIR OFFICES
It Also Provides They Shall Be Liable to Criminal Prosecution
and This Is the Reason the Governor Is Anxious to Have a
Prosecuting Attorney Who Will Prosecute Vigorously All
Violations of the Law ,and This, He Claims, Cameron Docs
Not Do-ls "Throwng Grass N&w, But Has Plenty of
Rocks."
If Governor Wost In his law en
forcement campaign In Portland, se
cures control of tho dlBtrlct attorney's
office, uh1 he will Boonor or later, he
will compel every official In that city
to look at their "holo card," for the
governor has unearthed a law passed
In 18G4 which uiukes a forfeiture of
their office tho penalty If they fall to
discharge their duties.
Tho law, In brief, provides that It
shall bo the duty of every district at
torney, sheriff, constable and marshal
to Inform and proHecute where they
find violations of the gambling laws
and also the laws on oilier subjects
anil If they fail, thou they shall be
subject to criminal prosecution and
Imprisonment, and their office be de
clared vacant by the court and subject
to be filled by appoiutmont.
This law Is but a dend letter on the
statute book, with a district altornoy
In office who can hunt up excuses for
failure to prosecute, or who carries
on his prosecution In but a half-henrt-
ed way. With a live man In the office,
however, the officials will be either
compelled to do their duty or stand
trial and run a chance of conviction
nnd forfeiture of their office.
Sheriff Slovens has been defying the
governor and It Is understood that
this Is one of the laws which he will
set in motion against him, It Is also
understood that when the times comes
to deal with the sheriff that the gov
ernor will Bprlug a few things on lilm
which will surprise him Just as mutfh
as his action of removing Camerfrii
urprlsed that officer, and a lot of
other people who have been hoping
that the governor would fall In ills
work In cleaning up Portland.
Anyway, It Is said to be a pretty safe
bet that Governor West will clean up
Portlund, for he has not launched his
campaign without picking out a few
choice weapons to be used as he needs
them and when the end comes It will
be a "tale that Is well told" In more
ways than one.
