ON THE OTHER SIDE The Mikado Confers an Order on the EXCEING SCENE IN THE SOBRANJE Mr. Gladstone Sustains a Serious Accident. GENERAL FOREIGN ‘TOPICS YOKOHAMA, January 3.—It is stated that the mikado has conferred upon Em- percr William the Grand Order of the Im- perial Chrysanthemum, in recognition of the services rendered by German officers to the Japanese officers who have been under thei> instruction in military and naval schools. ‘The wounded and sick of the second army will be kept in the field hospitals until the spring, as the coast is now ice bound. Orly the invalided soldiers of the first army will be sent to Japan. Stormy Scene in the Sobranje. VIENNA, January 3.—There is consider- able comment here and elsewhere in regard to the stormy and almost unprecedented scene which took place in the sobranje, or national assembly, at Sophia, on Friday night last, December 28, and early Satur- day morning. During the debate on the credit of 50,000 francs asked for by the government for the purpose of suppressing brigandage, M. Dosseff, the opposition leader, declared that brigandage no longer existed in Bulgaria, and that the premjer, M. Stoiloff, asked for this money for the purpose of establishing a system of politi- cal espionage. An uproar followed, the supporters of the government strongly de- nouncing the assertion of the opposition leader and M. Dosseff replying with strong expressions reflecting upon the ministers. This caused M. Stoiloff to exclaii “You are a lar end a slandere! This served to bring matters to a most intense pitch of excitement. All the depu- ties sprang to their feet and hurled insults at each other, while M. Dosseff continued his attack upon the government. Finally, the president of the sobranje, Dr. Theodoroff, announced M. Dosseff’s e: pulsion from the chamber for the remain- der of the session, and directed the quaes- tors to remove him from the precincts of the house. ‘The liberals replied to this order with a storm of hisses and with the members of the opposition grouped about him. M. Dos- seff struck at the quaestors and beat them off, but not until some of the deputies had drawn revolvers. During this exciting scene the ministers withdrew and left the liberals in possession of the house. After an hour’s interval the sitting was resumed at midnight. The opposition pro- tested against the action of the govern- ment, declaring that the scene was caused by M. Stoiloff calling M. Dosseff a liar and a slanderer, and, later, the opposition left the house in a body, in order, as they claimed, to avoid witnessing further acts of — to the country and its representa- ives. During the absence of the opposition de} uties the government discussed and adopt- ed the political amnesty bill, including the propositions to grant aninesty to Zankoff and Karaveloff. ‘The measure is regarded as sealing the Russo-Bulgaria reconcilia- tion. An exciting debate had been expected upon this bill. After the measure had been adopted, Sat- urday morning, the opopsition returned to the Sobranje and the most exciting night sitting was concluded. Mr. Gladstone’s Accident. LONDON, January 3.—It was learned to- day that Mr. Gladstone had a serious acci- dent last week. He stumbled over an open drawer, cut his forehead, broke his spec- tacles and was unable to see for several hours. . Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone took a drive of three miles in an open carriage yesterday. and on Monday they will leave England for Cannes, where they will be the guests of Lord Rendel. . The Daily Line From Englai LONDON, January 3.—Representatives of all the steamship lines using South- ampion as a port of call or of departure for the United States have been inter- viewed on the statement made by ‘the Press Association that a daily mail service between Southampton and New York would shor:ly be inaugurated. Not one of these repr¢sentatives has any information which would tend to confirm the story and it is generally discredited. A Prospective English Wedding. LONDON, January 3.—It is again as- serted that the marriage cf Lillian, Duch- ess cf Marlborough, to Lord William Beres- ford is to take place early in February. It is| added that Lord William will keep a big stable of race hors2s. The duchess is the Jaughter of Commodore Cicero Price, U. S. N., of Troy, N. ¥., and the widow of Mr. Louls Hamersley of New York. A Sensational Charge. SOPHIA, Bulgaria, January 3.—The court of appeals has again acquitted Gzorgieff of c¢mplicity in the murder of M. Mebelt- cheff, the minister of finance, who was assessinated on March 28, 1891, in the streets of Sophia in the presence of M. Stambouloff, then premier, for whom it was though: he was taken. The Progress, organ of the unionist min- isters, charges M. Stamboulotf with being the real murderer of the minister of finance, basing this accusation chiefly upon the evidence of M. Mebeltcheff. Fight on the Crispi Government. ROME, January 3.—At a meeting of fol- lowers of the Marquis di Rudini, ex-pre- mier, it was decided to commence a vigor- ous campaign with the purpose to force the Crispi government to resign and to bring: about the formation of a cabinet composed entirely of senators. Pope Pleased With the Czar. ROME, January 3—The pope has openly shown his pleasure at the czar’s action in sending Count Lobanoff-Rostovski, Rus- sian ambassador at Vienna, to announce his accession to the throre of Russia. His holiness looks upon the act as bearing fresh, testimony to the cordial relations existing between the Vatican and St. Pe- tersburg. Porte’s Lenicncy to Armenia. CONSTANTINOPLE, January 3.—A per- mit has been given to hold an Armenian ball for the begefit of the schools of the different provinces of Armenia. As this permission has been refused for many years it is looked upon as showing that the porte has assumed a conciliatory atti- tude toward Armenia. The Czar for Universal Peace.

Gourko, says: “My father, now resting with God, ap- pointed you, in 1885, envoy to the Emperor King of Prussia as a just recognition of brilliant and conspicuous military feats and distinguished attainments. Your nine years of diplomatic work have in evcry respect justified that confidence and hope. As the faithful executor of the plans of your emperor, you have fostered the bends of friendship which united Russia to her powerful neighbor, and have thereby con- tributed to the success of that gracious and beneficent work, the preservation of uni- versal peace, which was as dear to the heart of my father as to mine.” . <4 Earthquake in Sicily.

ST, PETERSBURG, January 3.—The trial of the thirty-two post office employes and merchants, who formed a band of smug- glers, operating on the Russo-Prussian frontier, has been concluded. Of the ac- cused persons twenty-seven were found guilty, and were sentenced to imprison- ment or to transportation. SS Georgia’s Contribution to Nebraska. Contributions of corn for the Nebraska relief train, which is to leave Atlanta Jun- uary 15, are pouring in from every section of Gecrgia, and the indications now are that the amount donated by farmers of the state will exceed the capacity of one train to transpert. The town of Demorest sent in a car load yesterday. President Hoffman of the Seaboard Air line and Pres- ident Spencer of the Southern railway have each contributed one car, and President Spencer has tendered the use of the Geor- gia Pacific ware house free of cost for the storage of th> contributions. All roads will haul the provisions contributed free. ——_+e A GALLANT OFFICER Service of Col. Edward M. Heyl, Who Died Yesterday. Bis Participation During the War of the Rebellion and in Numerous Battles With the Indians. Col. Edward M. Heyl, inspector general, United States army, who died yesterday at Chicago, Ill., was born in Philadelphia, Pa., February 14, 1844. He entered the volun- teer service August 12, 1861, as a private in company E, third Pennsylvania cavalry; was promoted quartermaster sergeant and first sergeant same company; second lieu- tenant, April 4, 1862; first lieutenant, April 1, 1863; captain, December 4, 1863, and hon- orably mustered out August 24, 1864. His command was among the first volunteer cavalry regiments that joined the Army of the Potomac, and was engaged with it in the following named battles: WilMamsburg, Yorktown, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Antietsm, Kelly’s Ford, Fredericks- burg, Gettysburg, Mine Run, Wilderness, Cold Harbor and siege of Petersburg. He was captured by the enemy at Hartwood Church, Va., November 28, 1863, and kept a prisoner for thirty days. He was appointed first lieutenant, ninth cavalry, July 28, 1866; promoted captain, July 31, 1867; transferred to the fourth cav- alry, January 1, 1871; appointed major and inspector general, February 19, 1885; pro- moted Heutenant colonel and inspector gen- eral, December 22, 1885, and colonel and inspector general, February 12, 1889. Dur- ing his service in the line, besides being engaged ‘n numerous expeditions, he par- ticipated in the following actions against hostile Indians: June 7, 1869, on the Pecos river, Texas, with the Lipans and Mescaler- os; mentioned in general orders of Septe ber 11, 1869, headquarters fifth military dis- trict, for gallantry in this action. Septem- ber 16, 1869, near the Brazos river, Texas, against the Kiowas and Comanches, and again mentioned in general orders, October 28, 1869, headquarters fifth military district, for gallantry. November 24, 1869, near the Llano river, Texas, against Comanches. In describing this engagement in general or- ders, dated December 13, 1869, Maj. Gen. Reynolds states that this is the third oc- easion within the year that the gallantry of Capt. Heyl has been brought to the attention of the commanding general. In this action Capt. Heyl engaged in personal conflict with an Indian, whom he Killed, and was himself severely wounded with an arrow in the left side. He took part in the expedition against the hostile Apaches and Lipans, on the Pecos river, Texas, frem May to October, 1870, and in the scouting expedition against hostile Comanches and Kiowas from September, 1871, to December, 1871. October 11, 1871, he was again en- gaged with hostile Comanches near the Brazos river, Texas, where the enemy was completely routed, his entire camp and winter supplies being destroyed. From June, 1872, to June, 1873, he com- manded the escort composed of cavalry and infantry, to the Texas and Pacific ratl- rcad expedition, in which he saw much hard service, being engaged in a number of skirmishes with hostile Kiowas and Co- manches. September 26 and 27, 1874, he was engag- ed with hostile Cheyennes in the Tule canon, Tex., and on September 28, 1874, in the battle against Cheyennes and Kiowas in the Palo Duro canon, Tex., in which the Indians were completely routed. November 3, 1874, in action against hos- tile Comanches on the Laguna Curato,Tex. He was engaged in the Ute campaign of 1881, and in the expedition against the hos- tile Apaches in the fall of the same year. He had served twenty-one years in the line, nineteen of which were spent in con- tinuous and arduous service in the field, when he was appointed an inspector gen- eral on the general staff of the army, in which capacity he served with conspicuous ability at the headquarters departments of Texas, of the Missouri and the east. Z ‘The death of Col. Heyl will result in the promotion of Lieut. Col. George H. Burton to be colcnel, and Maj. P. D. Vroom to be MNeutenant colonel in the quartermaster’s department. The vacarcy in the list of majors will be filled by transfer of a cap- tain of the line. _ oo. e+ Col. Breekinridge at Memphis. Col. W. C. P.

ATLANTIC FORECAST Late yesterday white, fleecy snowflakes began to fall with such ease and regularity that it looked as though Washington was in for a good old-time snowstorm, such as we had a couple of years ago. Before 9 o’clock the ground was white, and the whole town was swathed in a garment of white, and occasionally the sound of the merry bells might be heard in the streets. Those who were so fortunate as to own sleighs saw visions of rare delight and the chance to lord it over their less for- tunate friends. The joy of such as these was short-lived, however, for tt was not long after day- light this morning when the mercury went far enough upwards in the official ther- mometer at the weather bureau to show that the snow could not last long. Nor did it, for before noon the beautiful, pure white had resolved itself into a soiled and dirty brown. The walking was anything but pleasant, and the slush, on top of what was lett of the preceding snowstorm of last week, made it about the most disagree- able day of the winter under foot. At 8 o'clock this morning the record ther- mometer registered six degrees below the freezing point, but it did not linger in the twenties long. The promise of the weather bureau for the day included the probability of threatening weather, with occasional rain or snow. There is no reason to think that there will be any particular change in the weather, either for the better or the worse, during the next thirty-six hours, at the end of which time it is expected that Washington will recelve some of the ef- fects of a cold wave that has generated in the far northwest, and is making its way eastward, with the chance of getting here in a much attenuated form. The Area of the Storm. , The present storm, although it has been marked by an almost entire absence of wind, is very general in the matter of ter- ritory covered. All the country to the east of and including the Mississippi valley has been visited by a rainfall varying in quan- tity and quality. North of Tennessee it has taken the form of_snow. In this city the precipitation amounted to but six-one- hundredths of an inch, and this in the form of snow would usually amount to a fall of about half inch. But this time it was particuldrly light, and as it did not pack a bit it would probably be called a fall of an inch. It did not amount to a Picayune as a snowstorm, but as a nuis- ance to pedestrians and «those who had to clean oft their own sidewalks it was a howling success. Cold in the’ Dakotas. If the weather is comparatively mild here today the same cannot be said of some of the other sections of the United States. In North Dakota and Montana the small children who were starting to school this morning after their Christmas vacation had to go well bundled up, for through those two delightful states the thermome- ter averaged sixteen degrees below zero at 8 o'clock. St. Vincent was the coldest point in the United States, for there the spirits in the glass found a resting place at just twenty below. In Florida, on the other hand, the extreme cold snap which has done so much damage to the orange and other crops has to 4 large extent pass- ed off, and since New Year morning the weather has been moderating, until now it has got to something like the normal for this time of year. The reports that have reached here from that section of the country, though, are all to the effect that the cold weather lasted plenty long enough to do inestimable damage to fruits and vegetables. A Cold Snap Coming. Mr. Morrill, the forecast officer at the weather bureau, told a Star reporter this morning that while there was no chance of anything like a blizzard reaching Wash- ington, we would yet feel the touch of the cold that is now on in the far northwest. Another low area is developing to the south of it that may possibly push it aside to a certain extent, but that is hardly likely to prevent it from reaching here al- together. The coldest in this city so far this winter was six degrees above some days ago, but there is no reason for ex- pecting anything of the sort here again in the near future. Atlantic Forecast. The forecast for January on the North Atlantic, issued by the hydrographic office, shows that there will be stormy weather north of the fortieth parallel and along the American coast norht of Hatteras. There will be strong westerly and north- westerly gales along the transatlantic steamship routes. The effect of these gales is frequently felt as far south as latitude 35 north. Occasional gales in the vicinity of the Azores. Northers may be expected in the gulf. Fog at‘intervals on the Grand Banks, but not in extended areas. Ice may appear near Cape Race during the latter part of the month. —_~.—_—_. THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION, How the Government Building is to Be Constructed. The government building at the Atlanta exposition 1s to be situated at the north- ern end of tho group of main buildings, fifty feet above and overlooking the central plaza, around which they are to be arranged. The building generally is to be 181 feet by 261 feet in size, with central pavilions on four sides, each 61 INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. ACCOUNTANTS AMUSEMENTS . ATICRNEYS AUCTION SALES. BOARDING ..

The building is to be constructed of wood fram- ing, sheathed outside, and covered with clapboards and shingles. The entire wood work exposed in the in- terior is to be dressed. The roof is to be supported with long yellow pine posts, and all construction is made as light as possible. The clerestory roof is supported by a com- bination of wood and iron trusses, and is to be so arranged as to afford an _uninter- rupted view from end to end of the building. The exterior is designed with a Romanesque feeling, in so far as the style can be applied to a frame building of this description. The central pavilions on all four sides are to be carried up two stories, or 42 feet, to the cornice line, 63 feet to the apex of roof, and are extended across the building from side to side, forming the clerestory portion, having sides filled with windows. At the center of the building a tower, 61 feet square, is to be carried up to a height of 76 feet to the cornice, with large win- dows on all sides and ornamental turrets at corners. Surmounting the tower roof is to be an open lantern, 20 feet in diameter, the top of which is 104 feet above the floor. This lantern is for the use of the weather bureau, and also for the accommodation of a large search-light to be placed there by the Navy Department. The portion of the building outside of the clerestory will be covered with a flat roof, averaging 26 feet above the floor, hav- ing two large skylights in each section. This roof is to be surrounded by a parapet in oe flag poles are to be set at inter- vals. On the four corners of the building are circular turrets, 24 feet in diameter, two stories high, having conical roof,. sur- mounted by a flag pole. The second story is open—one being used for observation prrposes—access being had by stairs from the main floor. Ample entrances have been provided on each front, being twenty-two feet wide on the south, east and west, and ten feet on the north. In the projecting portions of the pavilion adjoining the entrances are offices for the various departments repre- sented in the exhibit, and in the second story of the south front offices for the board of management. Particular attention has been given to the lighting of the building, and windows are so arranged that no portion of the building will be dark. In certain parts of the building the windows are arranged to display the transparencies, which will form cne of the most interesting features of the exhibits of some of the departments. THE HOTEL RALEIGH Opening of This Notable New Building Today. A Large Number of Visitors Admire the Handsome Decorations and the Fine Appointments. Today the new hotel building at the northeast correr of Pensylvania avenue and 12th street, which has been named the Raleigh, was open for the in- spection of the public and for business. The former availed itself of the opportunity to get behind the dcors which had been closed for so many months while the build- ing operations were going on, and groups were found throughout the building look- ing at the admirable results of the liberal expenditure of money and the exercise of good taste, which were plainly visible on all sides. ? Business, too, began at an early stage in the proceedings, and there were names of guests placed on the registers, and the tabls were occupied in the cafe and dining room. The interior fitting and furnishing is on a scale never before attempted in this city, and the house, from the top to the bottom of its seven stories, is a mod- ern hotel, provided not only with all the comforts 2d facilities pf such a building, but also with the luxury and sumptuous- ness which the traveling public seem to expect. The lower floor has two entrances from Pennsylvania avenue and two from 12th street. One of the avenue entrances leads into the room where there is a cigar and news stand. back of which is the buffet, and the other into the cafe. One of the en- trances on 12th street leads into the office, and so on through to the elevator. There is a separate entrance for the ladies’ cafe, which is a large room at the extreme northern end of the building. The entire floor is fitted up in the same general style. The walls are wainscoted with an im- potted marblo of greenish tint, Knovei as the antique verd. Handsome Decorations. The color of the painted walis above blend with that of the marble and gradu- ally shade into the color of the frieze and ceiling. The latter is decorated with a pleasing and ornate raised design in patat, and in the cafe ard ladies’ restaurant large oil paintings on canvas are fastened to the wall and form a part of the mural decorations. On this floor the openings of the arches are filled in with wrought- iron grills of appropriate and elaborate pattern. Over the one leading into the buffet & delicate tracery of a grape vine spreads over the entire grill. ‘The bar is a rich combination of marble, mahogany and wrought iron, the latter ap- pearing in a band representing grape vines and bunches of grapes. running in relief the length of the bar. The pillars and pilasters of the frame of the mirrors back of the bar are made of imported French marble of the prevail- irg hue, supporting a framework of iron, the panels being fillec in with thin slabs of white marble, refiecting the glow of the electric lights, vhich are behind. On the second floor are found the hotel dining room, four private dining rooms, writing rsom, the public parlors and sev- eral chambers. The upper floors are de- voted to sleeping reoms; with the proper accompaniment of bath rooms. The rooms are arranged so as to be used single or en suite, and are supplied with fine furni- ture in various kinds of hard woods. Some Notable Features. Owing to the generous frontage on two streets, as well as the open spaces on the sides, the rooms are all well lighted, and the ventilation is further assisted by the lofty ceilings. In some of the rooms fine pictures adorn the walls, making, in this respect, a notable departure in the fashion of furnishing hotels. There is another feature which will be appreciated by guests, and that is the pro- vision which is made in the halls cf each floor for the reception of visitors when it is not desired that they shall come directly to the rooms. On the lower floor there is an electric plant which supplies the build- ing with light, end there is also a machine for making ice and for cold storage facili- ties. The kitcren is on the ground fioor, and the machinery and other apparatus are in the basement, as are also the toilet room and the barber shop. ‘As the building is not a new one, al- though it has been completely remodeled and renovated, it is not necessary to in- form the residents of this city that it is a fire-proof structure. ‘That was the character of the old build- ing, and it has been made complete in the new. ,The floors are brick arches resting on iron foists, and the partitions are brick from top to bottom. The floors are covered with concrete, upon which the carpets are laid, and in the halls the tlooring is of mar- ple tiling, while on the ground floor mosaic work is used. With the exception of the trimmings of the windows and the door- ways, which ard of mahogany and quar- tered oak, there is no woodwork throughout the entire building. ‘The hotel is under the management of Mr. B. W. Frazier, a hotel man of experi- ence, who represents the company which made this handsome improvement, and which is composed of Washington men. The new building is therefore the product not orly of Washington capital, but an evidence of Washington enterprise and ability. A large force constitute the hotel staff, who, under the direction of Mr. Frazier, will attend to the wants of the public. ge The Bradbury again to the front.

ABOUT BLUEFIELDS The President Sends the Correspond- ence to the Senate. SUMMARIZED INMR. GRESHAM'S LETTER Events Which “Have Occurred Within the Last Year. THE MURDER OF WILSON The President today sent to the Senate about 300 pages of correspondence relative to Bluefields, summarized in the following letter: To the President: The Secretary of State, to whom was referred a resolution adopted by the Sen- ate on the 4th ultimo requesting the Pres- ident “if not incompatible with public in- terest to send to the Senate any reports or correspondence relating to affairs at Blue- fields, in the Mosquito territory, and also to inform the Senate whether any Ameri- can citizens have been arrested or the rights of any American citizens at Blue- fields have been interfered with during the past two years by the government of Nica- ragua,” has the honor to submit the cor- respondence called for, that the same may be transmitted to the Senate, should the President deem it compatible with the pub- lic interest to do so. Although the resolution covers affairs at Bluefields during the past two years, the events to which it relates occurred within the last twelve months. The Breaking Out of the War. In December, 1893, war broke out be- tween Nicaragua and Honduras. In Jan- uary a detachment of Honduranean troops seized Cape ‘Gracias a Dios, in Nicaragua, about sixty miles above the Mosquito strip. The Kearsarge was ordered to Bluefields to protect the interests of American citi- zens, but was wrecked on the way on Roncador reef. Early in February the government of Nicaragua sent a military force to the strip to repel the threatened invasion. On February 1] the Nicaraguans occupied the bluff, and on the 12th they took possession of Bluefields and proclaim- ed martial law in the reservation. Against this action Clarence, the so-called Mos- quito chief, protested. War vessels of Great Britain and later of the United States were sent to Blue- fields to protect the respective foreign interests in that locality. The Nicaraguan commissioner to the reservation attempted, with the concurrence of the British naval and consular representatives, to organize a provisional administration for the strip, in which Nicaraguans and foreigners were to take part, but the endeavor proved abortive. This government withheld its sanction of the scheme as inimical to the sovereignty of Nicaragua and American interests at Bluefields refrained from par- ticipating in the proposed administration. British marines were temporarily landed to protect life and property in view of threatened disturbances, but they were withdrawn when the necessity for their presence no longer existed, and thereafter an American vessel sufticed for all needs of fcreign protection. The Indinn Government Restored. In July last a movement against the Nic- eraguan authority was temporarily suc- cessful, the so-called Indian government was for a time restored, the Bluff cap- tured with loss of life on the part of Nica- ragua, and the Nicaraguan garrison of Bluefields expelled. A few citizens of the United States who are believed to have taken part in this insurrection left the country. Two Americans, Lampton and Wiltbank, accepted municipal office under the short-lived regime and they and ten or twelve others, mostly English and Jamai- cans, were arbitrarily arrested and ban- ished. The urgent remonstrance of this government and its demand that the two Americans be allowed a hearing and in any event an opportunity to arrange their affairs before expulsion resulted in per- mission being given them to return to Bluefields under pledge of good behavior. With these exceptions, and perhaps that of one Ausburn, whose return was for a short time refused, but afterward allowed, the undersigned is not advised that Ameri- can citizens in Bluefields have been ar- rested. Sundry complaints growing out of interruptions of trade and use of Ameri- can vessels by the Nicaraguan authorities have had proper attention and will doubt- less yield to the usual methods of treat- ment. During the period covered by the events in question the Nicaraguan government withdrew tre exequatur of Mr. Braida, the United States consul at- San Juan del Norte, on the ground of his alleged un- friendly acts, but it was subsequently re- stored. The Murder of Wilson. An unfortunate incident threatened for a time to strair. the good relations between this government and that of Nicaragua. One Wilson, ar American citizen, having been murdered at Rama by Arguello, the temporary governor of the town, a de- mand for the trial and punishment of the criminal and his accomplice was made. Arguello was arrested at Rama, but escaped with the evident connivance of the local authorities, and his rearrest and de- tention at Bluefields were followed by a second escape, under circumstances indi- cating gross negligence, to say the least, on the part of those responsible for his safe custody. He is said to have fied the country, thus baffling the efforts of the proper authorities to do justice im the case, ‘The Nicaraguan government, however, tes- tified its abhorrence of the atrocious crime by dismissing Torres from the office of governor of Rama, and by sending another commissioner to the reservation in place of Lacayo, who was in command at Blue- fields at the time of the second escape. The facts above etated and incidental references to the treatment of the ques- tion of the int.roceanic canal by the gov- ernment of Nicaragua appear in the cor- respondence. It will be observed that from the begin- ning of the conflicts, which at times were serious, this government has steadily rec- ognized the paramount sovereignty of Nic- aragua over the entire reservation, yield- ing to no pretensions inconsistent with that sovereignty. No Real Native Government. At no time during the last forty or fifty years has the so-called native Indian gov- ernment in the strip been,real. On the contrary, it has been an alien municipal government, administered according to alien methods. Although Americans and American interests have for some time dominated in the strip, this government, while intervening in proper cases for their protection, has constantly disavowed any right of its own or of its citizens to govern the reservation, or participate in its politi- cal affairs. Whatever right of self-govern- ment the Indians enjoyed under the treaty concluded between Great Britain and Nic- aragua was to be exercised by themselves, and not by aliens in their name. That treaty contemplated the eventual surrender by the Indians of their right to govern themselves, and other inhabitants of the strip, and their “incorporation into the re- public of Nicaragua on the same footing as other citizens of the republic.” A copy of a convention, concluded on the 20th of November last, is herewith com- municated, by which it is declared that the Mosquito Indians, while retaining “spe- cial priviteges,” in accordance with their “customs” and “racial disposition,” have “agreed wholly to submit to the laws and authorities of Nicaragua, for the purpose of forming part of the political and admin- istrative organization.” Great Britain, it 1s proper to say, has given this government the most positive assurarce that she asserts no right of sovereignty or protection over the territory, but, on the contrary, respects the full and paramount sovereignty of the government of Nicaragua.

Action Taken by the Newfoundland Legislature. The bill guaranteeing the notes of the Union and Commercial banks was passed by both houses of: the Newfoundland legislature yesterday.. Today the governor will give his assent to the measure and it will then become a law. The French consul has protested against the passage of the bill, owing to the loss that will be sustained by French citizens throughout the country. The bill guarantees the notes of the Union Bank at 89 cents on the dollar, and those of the Commercial Bank at 20 cents. The lower house passed a bill removing the disabilities of Sir William Whiteway and his followers, who were convicted of corrupt practices, and Sir William will re- turn to political life, taking the leadership of his party, which is now in power. ined has filed a formal protest will the. seas ts also forwarded a ecpy to the English government, showing that the bill is unconstitutional and detri- mental to the interests of justice. It is not expected that the measure will receive the royal assent, even though it should be passed by the upper house. The petition for the appointment of a royal commission to examine into the af- fairs of Newfoundland ‘is receiving num- erous signatures. The governor will be urged to move in the matter without delay. Insomnia Cured by tle Electropoise. Mr. P. A.
