THE BEE: OMAF CROWDS HECKLE SPEAKERS Hooligans Howl Down Liberals Who | Seek to Answer Balfour. ALARMIST TALK ANSWERED Chancellor Lloyd-George Says Coun- try's Business is on Incremse—— War Talk is Called Jingolsm, LONDON, Jan. T.—Serlous disturbances again marked many of the meetings of the campaign tonight. The earl of Donough- more and Lord Cheylesmore, in attempting to address a conservative meeting at Coventry, found that the hall had been caplured beforehand by the radicals, who howled all the speakers down. The meet- ing broke up in disorder. A similar fate overtook Lord Rotnschild at Wolverton, where & crowd of radical Hooligans rushed the doors. Lord Rothschild stood for a long time facing the deafening booing and cheering, but was obliged to content him- self by addressing the reporters. Sir William Bull, member of the House of Commo Hammersmith, while speaking before electors of that con. stituency was rudely heckled by a man in the He threatened to punch the man's head. “Come on,” shouted the man. Sir Willlam forthwith descended and the crowd formed a ring. A standup fight ensued until the police separated the com- batants. Lir Willlam, speaking of the affalr, said he was none the worse for the encounter. “There has been a deal of unfair radical rowdyism lately,” he said. “This affair may clear the air, as Englishmen like a fair fight and no fouling.” Balfour Criticised. Premier Asquith, David Lloyd-George, ex-chancellor of the exchequer; John Burns, president of the local government board, and other members of the govern- ment, occupled tonight in denouncing A. J. Balfour's alarmist references to Germany and refuting his accusations of the unpre- paredness of the navy. Chancellor Lloyd-George, who received an ovation at Peckham, a district in London, described Mr. Balfour's speech as the last resort of & thoroughly desperate man who saw his cause was lost. Mr. Balfour had indulged In plucking -the German eagle's tail feathers and tail twisting had become a discreditable practice, he said, even in America. He was sorry to see the leader of a great party, and an ex-premier, re- duced to the extremity of following in the footsteps of the most discredited type of politician in the United States. Such tali was dangerous to the world's peace and a disgrace to British politics. Figures Favorable, Great Britain, the chancellor went on had warred with almost every country, but never with Germany. On the contrary, it had generally had Germany fight side by side with it. During the last decade Great Britain had bullt nearly double the number of battleships constructed by Germany, but it the ratio were inversed he would not be afraid, because Great Britain had the men hind the guns. “But,” he added, “we will continue to bulld warships faster than Germany." With reference to the effect of the budget upon trade, the chancellor took the unusual course of prematurely announcing to the meeting the returns of the Board of Trade for December. 'They showed an Increase in exports over December, 1906, amounting to $21.940,00. The biggest year British trade ever saw was 197, and the chancellor pointed out that trade for the last month was better than in December, 1907, by $5,- 000,000 and over in exports, and If they took both exports and imports, it was bet- ter by $25,000,00, Furthermore, the Increase in imports was not in manufactured goods, but in raw material and food. It looked as though the coming year would be the big- gest that British trade from the foundation of the empire ever had experienced. erowd Tenchers’ Coliege to Open.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 7.—A golden shower of 50 $20 gold pieces sent a frantic mob of men, women and children grovelling In‘ the heavy snow of a downtown street late this evening. An express messenger of the sub- treasury had almost reached his destina- | tion when the bag’ slipped and the heavy | double cagles tore through the canvas and poured in a glittering stream into the street.

Baltimore. Five-sixths of the inhabitants live on the western or Pacitic coast. The principal port on the Pacific side Is city engineer and has done very satisfac- tory work. By the death of M. Hammond the position of water commissioner is va- fashionable attired woman— the freight. e rave Hope is a magic lantern which often shows impossible pictures. With. the greatest canal on the globe almost ready to Become a reality, Nicara- gua thought it was destined to be one of the favored spots of the world. It thought itselt the “‘Western Bosphorus,” and con- sidered that it was only a question of time until the commerce of the oceans would pass through its borders via the Nicara- guan canal. The United States had decided upon an interoceanic canal, all parties were pledged to it, and indeed both houses of congress had at one time or another voted for it. Nicaragua was in high hopes, and Hannibal selling the public places in Rome, while yet without its walls found a coun- terpart In the spirit of speculation that possessed the Nicaraguans. But in & mo- ment all was changed. Senator Hanna took up the cudgels for Panama, the sen- ate turned to that route, the house fol- lowed and Nicaragua became the land of blasted hopes. Down there they still be- lleve that the monumental mistake of history was made, .when Panama was chosen, Nominally Nicaragua is a republic, where the will of the people should be supreme. Its constitution reads as smooth as our own, but only the letter and not the epirit prevails. Every man s supposed to have the right of suffrage, yet there is another provision, which sets forth that no soldier in the army shall vote. And the president has the right to enlist whom he will. Resuli; when there is a close elec- tion thousands of the opposition are tem- porarily enlisted in the army. It is sald that in ‘one election more than 7,00 op- ponents of Zelaya were enlisted, while all his friends were omitted from the recruits. This is the way the laws and con- stitutions of Central America are inter- preted, and it is such abuses that are Targely responsible for the constant tur- mol there. Nicaragua has a most unique plan of presidential succession in times of peace. The names of five senators are written upon slips of paper, placed in as many envelopes, shuffled, and three of the envelopes are drawn out and flied away in the state archives. The other two are destroyed without thelr contents being known. When there is a vacancy in the presidency the duly constituted authori- ties open the first envelope and the sen- ator whose name is written thereon be- comes president. Here we 8ee how the people distrust their own assoclates. The name of the heir apparent must be kept a profound secret lest he or his friends seek to hasten the succession. Nicaragua is not noted for a high aver- age of intelligence among its people. Those at the head of affairs are usually well educated, and there is also culture among the well-to-do classes of the coun- try, but the rank and file are merely ignorant, unlettered tropical people. They are “dumb driven cattle” who lend them- selves readily to the purposes of the dema- gogue. They are nearly always against the government, because they so often feel the law's restraining hand. Some idea of the prevalence of ignorance may be had from a report made by the head of the depart- ment of education who states that in Granada and Leon, the most highly civi- lized cities of the country, only 30 per cent of the children are enrolled in the hools. He concludes that only one- seventh of the children of Nicaragua learn to read and write. The majerity ot the people live in adobe houses covered with tlles or with thatched roofs. Uusually there is no floor in the rural home, and if there s a ceiling it is only a sheet of white cloth tacked up to hide the ugliness of the underroof. Beds without matresses, rooms without windows, cooking without stoves and grinding with Some Things You Want to Know Turbulent Central America—Nicaragua, Land of Blasted Hopes ) old-fashioned Indian millstones are still the rule rather than the exception. The clothing of the average Nicaraguan is extremely simple. Among the poorer classes the boys run in the Adamic garb worn before Eve invented her paim-leat apron. The girls wear little slips made from a single plece of muslin. The ordi- nary clothing of the men consists of a palm-leaf hat, a shirt and a pair of trous- ers. All go barefooted except the Indlans, who wear sandals. The women wear a chemise, a cotton skirt and a kind of light | shawl. Those of high caste imitate Euro- pean ways. Labor is plentiful in numbers, but short in quality. It is said that the average laborer wants to be treated as a nabob or hidalgo. Among the poorer classes baptism Is considered a more sacred rite than marriage. As a rule the Nicaraguans are polite, honest and fun-loving. Their speech abounds in compliments, and their hospl- tality s such that the stranger is always recelved with courtesy. The best the hous affords, though it may be nothing more than & cup of coffee and a small cake, i3 placed at his disposal. The Indians, though for ~centuries treated with cruelty by the Spaniards, have not been soured by mis- use and still go thelr way with much song and laughter. They are quick to coin words and characterize people according Lo their occupation, When the first engineer- ing party on the Nicaraguan canal estab- lished itself at Rivas the wife of the en- gineer in charge accompanied it. Later she recelved a letter which had no ad- dress other than “La Canalera’—literally the woman of the canal. A Honesty is a marked characteristic of the average low caste Nicaraguan. In (he little stores the customers often wait upon themselves. Sometimes the have their cigars and cigarettes where the passerby may get them and drop the price in & cup by the side of the box. Even the beggar will not touch this unguarded cup. Cock-fighting is the principal pastime of the people. Some of the Nicaraguans wear their hair trimmed close except for a little circle on top of the head. The barber cuts a cocounut in half, fits it on the head like a , then trims away all the hair not covered by the shell. The ant life of Nicaragua is most inter- esting. There Is one species that are agri- culturists of a high order. One sees them carrying little green leaves toward their 1 | bought from the United States, | missioner, sewer comm storekeepers | homes and then golng back for more. It | was long presumed that the ants used these leaves for food, but Investigation showed that the young ones chew them up finely and then, in combination with an. other ‘subst. e, which to grow a kind of tiny use them as a compost in | mushroom | which constitutes food for the ants when | they are shut indoors by the rain. The evidence of this is so positive as to admit of no charge of nature faking. Ants of another specles are great foragers | and travel in hordes on their expedition. When they come to a brook that is spanned by a single twig they are not willing to wait until they can pass over in single tile, Some of their number crawl out on the twig and by clinging to its sides widen the natural causeway with their bodies Then the road is made wide enough for columns of fours and elghts, and the delay of single filing a vast army across Is obviated. Perhaps it does not take reason- ing to arrive at the conclusion that columns of fours can cross a place more quickly than a single file, but it ls so close to reasoning that it is hard to differentiate it from that mental operationu. Nicaragua has practically the same area as the state of New York and its popula- tion is about equal to that of the city of | } Corinto, which has about 2,000 inhabitants. The principal town on the east side Is Blueflelds which Is about 1,18 miles from New Orleans. Nicaragua has one rallroad which runs from Corinto to Managua and from there to Granada on Lake Nicaragua, the largest inland body of water In that part of the world last year. Nicaragua textiles, clothing, machinery, etc., to the amount of $1,300,00, and sold to this country, bananas, coffee, rubber, mahogany, cattle, hides, ete., to the amount of $1,060,000. On the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua there are seventeen recognized race-types, the product of the mixture of Chinese, negross, Indians and whites. In the Interior there are almost as many varleties of political parties, divided by distinetions hardly less exquisite than those which separate the varlous races on the coast. The lssue on which these parties differ s, at bottom, the matter of the church. In Nicaragua there exists a religlous question almost exactly parallel to that which still troubles the peace of France. This situation is prob- ably due to a considerable extent to that close sympathy and quick response which Central Amerlca manifests towards all things French. In spite of the geographical proximity of the United States, its influ ence in Latin America Is far less definite than that of France. It is to Paris that Central America l00ks for new ldeas. It is French policies that Central American statesmen sfudy and imitate. Much that the Amerlcan publicist finds difficult to understand in Central American affairs may be explained by referring to contem- porary movements in France. BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.
