ESTABLISHED JU 1871, NE 19, HARD TIMES IN NICARAGUA | Failure of Orops Reduces Her Laboring People to Sore Btraits, COFFEE CROP CUT SHORT ONE-HALF Providing for the Payment of a Debt Due to London Partles—Lender Wil Get the Same Kind of Money that He Lonuned, ®pecial Correspondence of the Associated Press.) MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Sept. 17.—Presid nt Zelaya of Nicaragua has just appointed Ge eral Santiago Callejas, his present minister of the treasury and acting minister of the in- terior, to go to Bluefields, Rama and other Atlantic points of Nicaragua with full power ) enforce, if he can, such orders and decrees as he y find necessary in an effort to try to regulate satisfactorily to the government of Nicaragua the political, financial and Judicial systems there. In other words an at- tempt to cause the people on the eastern coast of Nicaragua, who all have grown up under a civil and criminal jurisprudence copled or modelled by one of their former “supreme court Judges,” Judge Jackson, from the New York state code, to adopt and comply with the unimproved Spanish laws and Napoleonic code thit has been used, abused and evaded as conditions suited, by the letharglc western Nicaraguans for many years past. President Zeolaya of Nicaragua has issued a decree granting free transportation of corn, rice, plaintains and vegetables over the national rallroads in an effort to reduce the prevailing high prices In western Nicaragua of articles of food. The long continued, un- scasonable dry weather has largely decreased the crop, the demand for labor and the wages to all kinds of laborers. Consequently a majority of the middle and lower class, which constitute about 80 per cent of the en- tire population of about 850,000 Nicaraguans are reduced to living in the closest economy on such wild fruits and berries as they can gather, supplementing these by the small quantitiés of corn, beans, plaintain or rice they can buy from day to day with their small earnings. The coffee plantations of the district of volcanic formed soils, the largest coffee pro- ducing area in this country, is not expected to yield this year over one-half of an average crop, and will require not one-half the num- ber of laborers usually employed to gather through the three months when ripened, and then the competition of the unorganized laborers will reduce most probably their | ac PORTE ADVISED TO RE LENIENT. Ambassndors of the Forelgn Powers Make Strong Representations. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 6.—On Saturday Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador, h an interview with Kiamel Pasha, the grand vizier, In which he made a strong representa- tion and foreibly urged upon him to cease making arrests of Armenians, Kiamel Pasha in reply expressed his anxlety to improve the situation, Tt Is expected that he will advise the sultan to grant amnesty to all Armenians who have been arrested In connection with the riots since Monday. The ambassadors of the powers held a con- terence today and drew up a collective note, which will be presented to the Porte tomor- row. Afterwards they went to the Porte pe sonally and m the subject of Armenia. The foreign men-of- war which are acting as guardships have been ordered to moor fn the harbor for the winter, in order to protect foreigners in case of need, ir hilip Currle governmen has asked leave of the to visit the Armenians now in prison in order to draw up a report. Up to Fri elghty bodies had been regis- tered as victims of the disorder, all of whom fiad been terribly wounded. Some of them contained over twenty gapes, besides bullet wounds, and others had been battered with bludgeons so as to be unrecognizabe. All ounts concur (hat the number of vietims thrown into the sea was only three, The gen d'armes killed a few of the wounded. CHICAGO, Ogt. 6.—In his opening lecture at the Grand opera house today before the Soclety for Ethical Culture, Mr. Mangasarian, the Armenian leader of that organization, in regard to the Armenian massicre eaid he would suggest that the Armenians withdraw thelr petition to the Christians for sympathy and appeal Tor help to the sultan of Moroceo, the ameer of Afghanistan, the khedive of Egypt, and the shah of Persia. “The Christlan world,” he sald, “is per- haps waiting to see the Armenians embrace Mohammedanism, that it may send mission- aries to reconvert them one by one and at great expense.” Next Sunday Mr. Mangasarian will lecture on “The Religlous Aspects of the Uprising in Constantinople.” LONDON, Oct. 6.—A Constantinople dis- patch to the Daily News says that the Ar- menlan patriarch has received a list of the names of 400 Armenians who have been miss- Ing since last Monday, - exclusive of the ninety-two bodles which have been sent to the Armenian hospital. N BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 6.—At a mass meet- ing of the Armenians of Boston and vicinity | this afternoon the topic of general discussion was the recent atrocities in Constantinopl and the delay of the European powers in demanding redress of the Turkish govern- ment for those which occurred over a year ago. Resolutions were passed by the meet- ing, expressing sympathy for their com- patriots suffering in Turkish dungeons and advocating revolutionary measures as the only way that the Armenian nation can be saved from extermination. The resolutions heretofore very low prices paid for this work. The season is too dry to clear more lands and plant more coffec’ trees. Thus the pros- pects are that the present straitened condi- tion of the laboring classes will become more unbearable, RICHINIA IN THEIR HOGS. The EI Pueblo, a governmont subsidized daily in the city of Managua, announces the discovery of *“Trichinia spira in quanti- ties of the fresh pork sold in the cities in western Nicaragua. This s not surprising in view of the fact that hogs, like buzzards. are permitted as scavengers in the streets and in many of the ‘houses and yards of those cities. The El Pueblo cautions the people against the too free use of hog meat but it 1s a warning that will probably go unheeded during the preset scarcity and high prices for all kinds of foods there. The 400,000 peso (<ilver) foreign debt, which was settled yesterday by the government of Nicaragua, was contracted early in 1893, during the administration of President Zacacas, with a London company named “The Nicaragua Developing company, limited,” and waus a loan of silver pesos dis- tributed largely among some of the mem- bers of the national congress of Nicaragua to be repaid to the lender In gold. Tt had in- terest at 8 per cent. Twenty-five per cent of the gross recelpts of the national roads and steambouts and parts of other revenues werc pledged to redeem in gold the principal and interest of that loan of silver pesos. In June, 1803, the Zacacas government was de- throned, and the subsequent internal and extornal wars prevented the payment of but a part of the loan. WILL PAY IN SILVER. The present government of Nicaragua Ig- nored the terms of payment of the debt and the rate of the debt and intercst, and res cently Secréfury of the Treasury Calleja declared that the government, having re- celved silver would pay' in silver, 50,000 pesos in coffee bonds of the next crop (1895) and 15,000 pescs monthly until tho total pay ment of the balance due, with 15 per cent por annum interest on account from the be- ginning of the debf, commlissions to be paid on such sums as have been collected by the Nicaragua Developing company, limited.” These terms were agreed to yesterday by both parties. The *‘coffee bonds™ are really permits to export, and are an export tax of 2 cents (silver) per pound on coffes, which will be puid to the holders of the bonds be- fore the coffee can be exported. Railrond Project in Pern. LIM, Peru, Oct. 6.—(Via Galveston.)— Congress has approved the project of a rail- road running from Lima to Plscl, traversing a rich and cultivated district. The con- struction of this railroad offers a grand open- ing for American capital. = The foreign department has caused to be printed In the daily papers the statement that assertfons ~contained in the tele- grams sent from Sucre, Bolivia, to Buenos Ayres are unfounded.

Armentans in cago Removal, CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—At a largely attended meeting of the Armenian National union of Chicago, held tonight, the actions of Mr. Terrell, United States minister to Turkey, in connection with the Armenian affairs, was hotly discussed. Finally a set of resolutions was adopted charging him with over and again ignoring the urgent requests made by loyal missionaries and that he bas in his dispatches to the Statc department totally misrepresented a just cause and has been against his persecuted fellow citizens in Tur- key because of a *‘decoration to his daugh- ter."” The resolutions go on to denounce Terrell in the most vigorous manner for gross negli- genco in his duties and intentionally trying to hurt a noble cause at the crucial moment for the people. A demand is made for his removal and the sending of a minister to antinople who shall be “an honor ta the nation at large and to the just cause of the miss'onarics and el Chrstians,” i3 INDIANS, d Near W re a.

To establish a basis for a test case, Indian Agent Teter at Fort Hall reservation, with two Bannock Indians, went upon unoccupied government lands in Wyo- ming to hunt, and, according to the requirs ments of the test, the Indians were promptly arrested and taken to Evanston, where they were charged with violations of the game laws of the state. In further pursuance of the agreement, Attorney General Harmon to- day telegraphed the United States district attorney to apply at once for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of the prisoners. Thus the question will be squarely brought before the court. It is the contention of the govern- ment that the tr.aty of July 3, 1868, with these Indians secures to them the right to hunt upon unoccupied government lands in the state of Wyoming, and that this treaty is superior to the laws enacted by the state which are in conflict with it.

DUMPED INTO A BASEMENT Floor Buddenly Gives Way with a Large Number of People, ONE KILLED AND TEN FATALLY INJURED Contractor Had Been Warned that the Floor Was Insecure, but He Tn- sinted 1t Waw enty Strong Enough to Hold the People. LORAINE, 0., Oct. 6.—While a great crowd of people was assembled this afternoon to witness the laying of the corner stone of the new St. Mary's cathedral a temporary floor on which many of the people were standing suddenly gave way, precipitating many men, women and chidren into the basement. One was killed outright, ten were fatally injured and between thirty and forty others wer badly hurt. The services were just about to begin when the accldent happened. Fully 3,000 people were assembled on and around the platform, which had been constructed across the foundation of the edifice. The boards forming the temporary floor had been laid across the joists, which were sup ported fn the middle by upright posts. These supports broke and the floor went down with a crash. Fully 300 persons were thrown into the pit formed by the sagging in the middle of the floor. For a moment everybody was paralyzed by the calamity, but soon there was a rush forward by “those willing to lend assistance to the crushed and struggling people. This mads matters worse, for fifty more persons were crowded forward upon those who went down with the floor. When the confusion had subsided somewhat many of those who were able to extricate themselves did so by walking or crawling over the less fortunate, The work of rescue was begun at once and all were finally taken from the pit. Following is a list of the wounded. Killed: MARY WEBER, 3 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mat Weber of Sheffield. Fatally injured: ROSE M'GEE, skull fractured. KATIE GRIFFIN, 8 years old, hurt in- ternally. M'GERACITH, killed and MRS. MARY erushed and hurt internally. MRS. JOHN EUSTIN, left leg crushed and chest injured. MRS.

Many others were severely bruised. The old Catholic church was at once turned into a hospital. A score of doctors were called and they were kept busy for hours caring for the injured, several of whom will die before morning. The accldent was due to defective timbers. The contractor was told yesterday that the platform was finsecure, but he said it would hold all the people that could be crowded upon it. There were be- tween 1,600 and 2,000 people on it when it gave way. Despite the accldent the services were continued and the laying of the corer stone was completed, ML IRISH ALLIANCE NEEDS MONEY.

The purpose of the alliance has al- ready been proclaimed—to obtain the com- lete independence of Ireland from England By any means consistent with the laws of nations, Organizations, like governments, have to depend upon their revenue for the successful accomplishment of their objects. “The sinews of war’ for both are absolutely necessary, both for organization and propa- ation. England, the arch-enemy of Ire- and, has at her disposal immense re- sources—the accumulation of centurles of conquest and piracy. She has it in her ower to control or mould public opinion n her own interests. Even in free America the posaesses fhat power to an astounding extent. Her side of the Irish question has filled the American mind for a quarter of a century, ever since Ireland’s friends at home and abroad committed the costly fault of trusting to Parliamentary agita- tion to achieve the liberty of their mother- land. Now, however, a totall has_been inaugurated. The absolute claim of Ireland to a distinct national life has been placed foreibly before the world by the unanimous voice of the recent Irish national congress held in Chicago. Provincialism has been cast aside and the national demand of Ireland, which slumbered but did not dle, is again in the ascendant. We are determined that it shall so remain and that no effort of ours, no sacrifice on our part, will be left uniried or unperformed until victory crowns our sacred cause. We appeal, there- fore, to all friends of the independence of Ireland to aid us in this good work by plac- ing at our disposal the meuns required for its accomplishment. You are asked to sub- ibe in accordance with vour means and forward your subscriptions as soon as ble to the secretary of the Irish al alllance, Hon. P. V.

Y., Oct. 6.—The special state committee of anti-woman suffragists, headed by Mrs. John V. Pruyan of this city, has issued the following address to the electors of the state of New York: “The committee of women organized in the state of New York to oppose the amend- ment to the constitution striking out the word ‘male’ in the qualifications of voters, address this appeal o the electors of the state. The members of the committe: are perfectly aware that it is unconstitutional to ask for any person seeking nomination or election to the legislature any pledge to his discharge of the responsibility of his posi- tion They are anxlous to urge upon the voters of the state that they should take pains to secure the nomination and election to the legislature of men known to be op- posed to the imposition upon women of the unwelcome and unsultable responsibility of the ballot.

He has also personally headed a public subscription interded for a similar purpose. Lieutenant Cunlen, in command of a column of forty troops, went in pursuit of a band of insurgents near Daiquiri, province of Santiago de Cuba, and was surrounded by 300 insur- gents. Lieutenant Alere, with a force of twenty, went to his assistance, and the in- surgents, thinking it was a large force, re- treated, * leaving two killed and four wounded, The troops lost four wounded.

Last night about § o'clock three une known men entered the house of Charles Harmon Schnelle, 3026 Davenport street, and attacked him. His face was badly brulsed, both eyes being closed, and a gash of three inches was made in the front part of his head. Mrs. Schnelle was chased for o a block by one of the thugs, and only escaped by running into the house of her mother, Mrs. Henry Busch, who resides at 3156 North Thirtieth streot. Mr. aund Mrs. Schnelle have recently moved into the house, and mave not yet become fully settled. Th were sitting in the library last evening playing a game of parches! when they heard noises on the outside. The husband sald it must be the wind, and the gamo proceeded. It was not long before the bell rang, and Mr. Schuelle arose to answer it. His wife, fearing that it was some one who called for no good purpose, said: “Charlie, take your revolver.” This he did not do, and opened the door. SEIZED AND BEATEN, Before he had an opportunity to grest his callers he was grabbed and thrown to the floor of his hallway. He could not see his assallants, but he d time to notice that one of them had a revolver in his hand. This was probab.y the instrument with which Schnelle was struck upon the head. His face was pounded so fast that 1t seemed to him that the blows must be coming from all six fists at once. Blood streamed from his head and face and he was left upon the floor in an almost insensible condition, while the in- truders turned thelr attention to his wife, As soon as Schnelle was selzed he eried out: “Run, Tille, run. It was her ap- proach in the hall that doubtless induced the rufffans to leave her husband. When she saw the awful sight in the hall she screamed and rushed to the back door. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Schnelle, who were alone in the large house, remember exactly what happened at this time, but at least one of them ran after her. He followed her out of the rear door and chased her over a block. “At one time,” she sald, “I thought he would surely catch me. He was right on my heels.” But just as her pursuer was about to overtake her she reached her mother's house and stumbled ide the door. The neighbore were quickly aroused and a search for the thugs n but in vain, as they had made their escape after doing thelr foul work, and before an alarm could be glven. Mr. Schnelle was found in a helpless condition groping about the house and calling for aid, A telephone message was sent to the police station by Mr. Ross, a neighbor, and the officers were on the scene within fifteen minutes after the assault took place, PLANNED DAYS BEFORE. A predecessor of the gang is thought to have made his inspection of the house and its interfor arrangement on Friday morning. At that time a young man of good appearance stopped at the back door and asked Mrs. Schnelle for something to eat. He was taken It Lo comitierarhe ine M consumine, Aftier ho had finished his breakfast he threw his head down on the table and appeared to be asleep. Mrs. Schnelle, thinking that the young man was tired as well as hungry, did not disturb him. He pretended to sleep until Miss Remy, who lives with the Schuelles, un- expectedly entered the kitehen. The man started uwp suddenly and looked chagrined. Ho arose and walked through the first door, and meeting Mrs. Schaelle in the parlor sald: “Lady, 18 there anything 1 can do to show my thanks?"’ Being {uformed that his services were not needed he leisurely walked back to the rear door and bade the women good morning, His careful inspection of the house attracted the attention of Miss Remy, who spoke about the matter at that time, No motive for the erime is known. It was clearly'not robbery, as bundles of silverware and household goods were left undisturbed. Schnclle has lived In Omaha for eight years, being employed by the Champion Iron com- pany. The couple have lived across the street for a number of years, and only re- cently moved Into this new residence. It was said last cvening that the assault might have been made by parties who were very much disappointed in their fallure to ebtain the residence secured by Schnelle. Both Mr, and Mrs. Schnelle emphatically deny that they have any enemies, and they can think of no one who could have the slightest excuse for committing such a deed. A plece of rope was found by the police in the hallway near where Mr. Schnelle was knocked down, e SQUANDERED ALL OF THE M Y.
