Offers by an English Syndicate Like- ly to Be Accepted, United States Consul Wiesike, at Ma- nagua, Nicaragua, informs the State De- partment that El Liberal, the semi-official newspaper, has published a statement to the effect that the National railroad of Nicaragua would be sold to a syndicate of English capitalists, who would pay the na- tional debt of Nicaragua to the English Eendholders, and, above this, would pay the sum of $1,500,000 silver to the covern- ment. Mr. Wiesike says that he called on Senor Calderon, the minister of interior relations, to learn the truth of the report, and was informed by him that such a prop- ogition had been made to the Nicaraguan government by Mr. Louis Wichmann, the agent of the Atlas Steamship Company. ‘The minister told Mr. Wiesike that the bargain had not yet been closed, but that resident Zelaya was inclined to accept the offer made, with some modifications, and had so cabled Mr. Wichmann in Lon- den. The Atlas Steamship Company has a con- tract with the Nicaraguan government to construct a railroad from Silico Lagoon to the San Juan river. President Zelaya, in his message to con- gress relating to this concession, says: “The contract celebrated with the En- glish Company Atlas relative to the con- siruction of a railroad from the Silico La- goon to the San Juan river, to facilitate the ravigation of the same, is being executed, and the contracting parties have made the deposit of guaranty. For want of proper krowledge of the terms of the concession, it is said that the concession conflicts with that given previously to the canal company to cross our isthmus. Nothing is more un- true. The contract with the first associa- tion is perfectly compatible with the sec- ond, and the greatest care has been ob- served in the said contract, in an express 13 ROBBERS OF MAIL BOXES Breaking Up a Well Equipped and Organized Band. Result of Seven Months of Exciting - Werk by the Post Office Secret Service. After an exciting chase extending over seven months, the post office secret service has sveceeded in breaking up what is con- sidered the best equipped and most thor- oughly organized band of mail box robbers in the history of the service. The capture, which, it is believed, breaks up the gang, occurred recently in Colum- bus and Chicago, At Columbus, Tim Ho- gen, the ringleader of the western gang, and et Chicago “Piggy” Real and Frank Baxter fell into the clutches of the law. When Hogan was arrested tke post office officials feund on his person 123) keys to letter boxes, as well as a full parapherna- lia for raising and altering check: A Skillful Piece of Work. No band of robbers ever gave the gov- ernment more trouble than the one brok up, and the post office secret service is con- gratulating itself upon the outcome of the hard campaign which has engrossed its attention for nearly a-year. It is consid- ered one of the most skillful pieces of de- tective work ever done by the department. The first gang organized in Boston and for a long time it rifled the mail boxes there, and the detectives were baffled. Af- ter a watch kept for several weks in the banking section of the city, several mem- bers of the gang were caught, and one of them turned state’s evidence. Upon his testimony the others were convicted, and the informer was released, after serving two years in the penitentiary. When he got out of jail he determined to start 4 new gang, and a few months later was joined by Tim Hogan, who escaped from Dlackwell’s Isiand. Hogan was the best cperator and the leadership of the gang went to him. He eluded his pursuers and took his newly organized gang west. Here for months it operated in the larger cities, managing, after every big robbery, to elude the detectives with exasperating regularity. It was because of the precision with which the gang operated that {t escaped the chitches of the law. Plan of Operations. The plan of operation was to obtain the imprint in wax of a postman’s key and then make several duplicates for the gang. Sur- rounding a letter box, preferably in the banking or business section of the city, one of the gang would open the box and extract the letters. These were hurriedly rifled. Those which contained checks were es- pecially sought after, since the gang was expert in raising the amounts for which they were drawn and collected the money in nearly every instance. Eracing acids were employed to take out the ink marks, an operation which made Hogan famous i» police circles long ago. After months of investigation the posi office inspectors located the headquarters of the gang in Chicago, and then foilowed the clues which led to their arrest. Hogan has been bound over in $10,000 bail. Real and Baxter, the other members of the gang. were also apprehended and lodged in jail, The department is going to make a streu- uous effort to get the members of this no- torious gang good substantial sentences in the penitentiary, and keep them otherwise employed than rifling letter boxes. SSS DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE. Adopted by a Local Pa- triotic Organization. At the meeting Saturday evening of the Grand Army Club, after an entertaining program, the theme uppermost in the pub- lic’s mind, the destruction of the American battle ship in Havana harbor, was calmly and patriotically discussed, and resolutions unanimously adopted, setting forth that “while shocked at the mysterious destruc- tion of a splendid battle ship, and unwilling to believe that the magnificent modern cruisers of our new navy are reasonably liable to self-destruction, yet as the repre- sentatives of that Grand Army which de- fended and saved the great republic, we have an abiding faith, the fullest. confi- dence in and only words of praise for the executive department of our government for the prompt and wise action taken to thoroughly investigate and promptly de- termine the cause of the destruction of the Maine.” Also, “That in the event of a verdict showing treachery the survivors of that army of victory we represent stand ready to aid in demanding immediate and uncon- ditional reparation at whatever cost. Pro- found sympathy is extended to the families of the quarter of a thousand brave heroes who went down to death with the ill-fated battle ship. SS EXAMINATION FOR DESIGNERS. It Will Be Held March 1 by the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department will hold an examination on March 1 for designers. The examination will be of draughtsmen now in the supervising architect's office. Some time ago George O. Patton, chief designer of the architect's office, resigned his posi- tion to go into business in Philadelphia. Supervising Architect Taylor decided to abolish the office of chief designer and to hereafter distribute that kind of work among men competent to do it. The exam- ination to be held will test the abilities of those qualified to be called upon as de- signers. —————_-e~— MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC LIGHTI Cities Operating and Leasing Their Own Plants. Consul General DuBois at St. Gall, Swit- zerland, has made a report to the State Department in regard to municipal electric light and power in Germany, from which it appears that the municipal authorities in the following cities own and manag? the electric works that supply light and pewer: Bremen, Barmen, Cassel, Darm- stadt, Dusseldorf, Elberf2id, Hanover, Co- logne, Konigsburg, Lubeck and Pforzheim. All of these cities, with the exception of Hanover, also own the gas works.

Ellen Foster on “Comparative Constitutional Law.” The large audience was seated in the banquet hall of Mrs. Foster's residence. Mrs en Spencer Mussey, the dean of the law class, in introducing Mrs. Foster, stated that the woman's law class had steadily progressed since its organization, two years ago, and Was now about to incorporate as a college, that it might confer upon its graduates the degrees they had so well earned. Mrs. Foster spoke with eloqu2nce and was warm- ly applauded. At the close of her lecture 2 Musrey introduced two visiting lady lawyers, Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell of Montana and Mrs. Catherine Waugh Me- Culloch of Hlinois, both of who some interesting personal reminisc their earlier years at the bar, ¢ of their later succe Miss Pierce of Boston, accompanied on the piano Miss Amy Leavitt, gave several vocal los with fine effect.

The feature of an entertainment given Saturday evening by the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club at Carrol! Institute Hall was the first presentation of a one-act com- edy by Mr. Alfred A. Smith of this city, er- titled “His Wife's Proxy.” It is an orig- inal, well written and exceptionally amus- ing effort, and demonstrates that Mr. Smith possesses ab...ty of much promise in the playwriting line. The comedy was inter- preted by a cast consisting of Miss Nora Cocker, Miss Anne Hathaway, Mr. George H. O'Connor and Mr. A. T, Seaman. Mr. O'Connor, in a double role, was thoroughly at home and caused continual laughter, while the work of the others was very good. Miss Lillian Sefton, accompanied by Dr. Bischoff, scored a triumph by her artistic rendition of a “Canzonetie,” and was warmly encored. The other numbers were a violin solo by Mr. Lloyd Remei panied by Mr. Charles Pierson; banjo solo, Miss Maud Walkett; song and dance, by pupils of Miss Hawke; selection, by a quar- tet, consisting of Messrs. Kemball, Dough- y, Cox and Weaver, and «a German com- edy sketch by Messrs. Charles Green and Joseph Keane, accompanied by Miss Daisy Joyce.
