Much Valuable Data Now Being Se- cured by the Parties in the Field. Spectal Dispatch to The Call: NEW YORK. Jan. 20.—The Herald’s | correspondent with the United States | Nicaraguan Canal Commission in a dispatch from Managua, sa | nal commission desires to request the ,“.,,‘{' of the board in | authorities in Washington through the | Herald to allow Civil Engineer Meno- cal, who has been ordered to return to the United States in connection with defects in dry dock No. 3 at Brooklyn, | to remain with the party for at least five weeks. The commission points out that this is most important in order to continue the work, as Mr. Menocal presence is necessary. It is asserted that British influence has been thrown against the canal project by the direc- tors of the London Bank of Central America, because of a difference be- tween the bank and Government, grow- ing out of the contract. Congress has declared as illegal the change of name of the bank in Nicaragua to the Lon- don Bank of Central s\merica. The Herald’s correspondence from Greytown, Nicaragua, dated January 4, says: The work of the canal com- mi on is proceeding slowly. The party to be disbursed and provisioned and assigned to varlous features of the work and stations on the canal line is far larger than that of any previous commission. This part of the work has been accomplished, however, and the delay of the present and past few days has been caused principally by conditions of the weather. The New- port has forty laborers obtained at Port Limon. As soon as these are landed by means of a surf tug the commission will procure a steamer and begin its journey to points up the river, distributing laborers along the canal route, where they are much needed for the purpose of clearing the line that the hydrographic apd topographic work may be expedited. Ruined machinery near the mouth of the canal still lies where the last commission found it. Big Panama dredges lie in the water looking fully their age. The canal opening is in very good condition. ‘The width has been maintained and the banks show nothing but stability. The rainfall has been almost incessant, and this coupled with the rise of the San Juan put Grey- town nearly under water for a few | da Parties in camps have been | having wet work, with the exception of those whi¢h are working on the line of the canal hetween Lake Nicaragua and the Pacific.

One engineer, for instance, is in a spot where he can be reached only by boat, attended only by a cook and a laborer. Eleven parties will secure a vast amount of data in the way of gauging of streams and rivers, observations of rainfall, borings, etc., and their findings added to the data of the canal company will give the commission material for a more satis- factory report on the feasibllity and practicability of the canal than has ever been made. A satisfactory re- port as to the proposed works leading up to.the summit level of the canal can only be made by having complete data as to action of all waters, and by | which missing material will be ob- tained.

Irwin’s Victim Says Their Charges Are Extortionate and He Will Contest Them. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. 20.—E. A. Brown, | the Hollister farmer who was beaten and robbed of $390 about two weeks ago, only escaped death by a narrow margin to fall into the hands of the | Philistines. | Isaac Irwin, who assaulted and ‘H‘obbed Brown, was captured a few | days later, and the entire amount of money stolen was recovered. Brown | was joyous over recovering his wealth, but this did not last long, for he was presented with a batch of bills arising out of the robbery. Mrs. Sager, the landlady of the house where the crime Loccurred, has sued Brown for $100 | damage done to the room, and City Physician Hablutzel has sued him for | 830 for dressing his wounds at the Re- ceiving Hospital, while Chief Kidward { has also asked him to pay a bill of $24 75 for telegraphing and sending out postal cards bearing a description of Irwin. | Brown denounces all these bills as | exorbitant, and this opinion is shared | by many citizens of San Jose. A great | deal of discussion has been caused by | the matter. Brown offered Mrs. Sager |85 for the damage done her room by |the blood that was spilled on the | sheets, but she spurned this amount and secured District Attorney Her- rington as her counsel and sued Brown for $100. In Justice Gass' court to-day Brown filed an answer to the suit and de- | manded an itemized bill. An itemized account has also been demanded of City Physician Hablutzel, who simply bandaged up Brown's head. The City Physician receives $75 per month for attending to just such cases, and peo- ple are wondering why he should pre- sent Brown with a $30 bill. Brown has also refused to pay the bill of Chief Kidward of 324, and has declared he will fight all the suits to a finish. At present Brown's money is tied up ment proceedings.

China, While Recognizing the Advan- tages of British Terms, Com- pelled to Waver. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Jan. 21.—The Peking cor- respondent of the Times, telegraphing yesterday, says: At his second inter- view with Tsung 1i Yamen yester- | day (Wednesday) the remonstrance of the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. Pavloff, was in the nature of intimida- tion against the opening of Talien Wan. He threatened reprisals and a with- drawal of Russian friendship and pro- tection. The Chinese, while recognizing the advantages of the British terms as af- fording the best hope of maintaining the integrity of the empire, are waver- ing. A dispatch to the Times from Shang- hai says: It is stated in officlal quar- ters here that Germany will make Kiaochau an open port, with exclusive | privileges to Germans, and broadly on | elated over the arrangement and e pressed himself follow “Things are certainly coming our way in river matters, and by this arrangement with | Major Heuer our department wiil not only have the benefit of advice from one of the most competent civil en- gineers of the Unitea States, but in addition to that we ar in securing the s most fortunate an who ers in California and phase of the que The followin, from residents cent to the ci petition was received long the river adja- of Marysville. | _We, the undersigned land owners of | Sutter and Colusa counties, believing it to be of immediate benefit to the Sacra- mento River i to the lands adjacent | thereto 1o have weirs constructed across Butte Slough and Tisdale K up to the height of the natural bank, earnestly re- quest, if the: are funds at your command to be used for improve- ment of draining, that som ortion be used to build said weirs and the work prosecuted. The petition was presented by A. E. Bingham of Marysville, who personally advanced arguments favoring the pro- Ject. A communication was received in the shape of an agreement on the part of the farmers on the Yolo side of the | Sacramento River to construct levees in front of their land fronting on the Sacramento River, and to complete the same on or before October 1, 1898, in accordance with t report of the Com- missioner of Public Works, and of such a height and dimensions as he recommend, the agreement being made may | conditional upon the building of ease- | ments or overflow weirs and not to become binding upon the resident own- ers until the Auditing Board to the Commission of Public Works agrees to build the same. J. O. Coleman presented the matter and stated that the farmers were will- ing and anxious to maintain their levees at a proper height, provided the board would construct weirs or ease- ments. The board ordered the engi- neers to locate the most advantageous | plans to establish the easements. A communication was received from Attorney-General Fitzgerald giving his opinion upon the following resolution: Resolved, That the Attorney-General be requested to advise this board whether the State would be liable for damages if | an overflow weir is constructed by the Commission of Public Works by and with | the consent of this board on the right or | west bank of the Sacramento River, | which weir or easement would carry the surplus water of said river above the twenty-four and one-half foot stage at Sacramento into the adjacent county. | The Attorney-General in reply says: “I am of the opinion that this work should be constructed under the act | providing for the appointment of the Auditing Board to the Commissioners of Public Works, approved March 17, 1897, and in particular under section & of said act.” The board then adjourned to the Su- preme Court chamber, where a delega- tion from Marysville had assembled to ascertain what would be the policy and action of the Auditing Board on river improvement in the future. Mr. Stone of Marysville, chairman of the last river convention, stated the ob- Ject of the visiting delegation. Chairman_ Corcoran briefly outlined the work already undertaken by the board, and said that contracts had al- ready been made to remove the New- ton shoals and arrangements made by which the farmers on the Yolo side would bufld up their levees, and the board would then construct weirs or easements to permit the tide of high water to flow into the Yolo basin. Mr. Parks of Marysville arose and remarked that his people would like to know what the sentiment of the board was regarding the purchase and em- ployment of dredgzers. | " Captain Hall expressed himself as | favoring a dredger, proyided the river ; could not be relieved through the ope- ration of the water by confining it in narrow channels by means of jetties, | as already contracted for. | _Senator Doty made a vigorous de- fense of the board and declared that the resolutions of censure passedby the river convention were uncalled for. He said he would favor a dredger when- ever the necessity arose. He was fol- lowed by Tatterson and Markley, who proclaimed themselves along the same lines. [ VENTURA NOW IN DARKNESS. Elsctric Light and Ice Plants Near the City Destroyed by Fire. VENTURA, Jan. 20.—Early this morn- ing the Ventura ice plant and electric light plant, situated about two miles north of this city, took fire and burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is unknown, the engineer having closed down the electrie light works at midnight and gone home. When the fire was dis- covered by a workman it was entirely beyond control. The plants were built in 1891 and are owned by the Ventura Land and Power Company. They were fur- nished with both water and steam power. The value of the plants is estimated at about .000; insurance, $20,000, in seven companies. ‘The city will now be without lights for sixty days unless a !emgomry ant is erected, which will probably be one. Both plants will be rebuflt. About 100 tons of ice was in the ice tanks, | remains unchanged. | a res the lines adopted at Hongkong, the land being held under crown leases.

PEKING, Jan. 20.—Another confer- ence was held yesterday. The situation Great Britain re- serves the right of exploration in the Yang Tse Kiang valley. LONDON, Jan. 20.—There has been ponsible statement that the Gov- ernment has decided to add 7000 men to the navy and that the first battle- ship Hannibal, now at Portsmouth, is to be put into commission at once. There is, however, no official confirma- tion in either case. BERLIN, Jan. 20.—A significant ar- ticle in the Cologne Gazette asserts that, according to international law, Kiaofhau is German property, and an attack upon it would enable Emperor William to declare war without con- sultingthe Bundesrath. The papersays, | furthermore, that being leased terri- tory, in a political sense, it remains as before, foreign territory. Therefore commercial and customs treaties be- tween either China and European States or between Germany* and other nations have no validity there, and consequently foreign states cannot ap- peal to the favored nation clause or | claim similar rights to those granted Germany, while Germany is in a posi- tion to regulate the customs and com- mercial relations quite unreservedly if | ehe thinks fit. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 20.—There is no truth in the report sent from here yesterday that the flagship Imperieuse and other vessels of the Esquimalt fleet had been ordered to the China station. Orders had been received to make ready for a hurried trip to South America, but to-day these orders were countermanded. PLAT FOR DELAY UPO ANNEXATIO Continued from First Page. mined upon delay in order to bring into closer communion some of those whom they thought they could control, but who swerved off to-day, and also certain Republicans who voted against the Vest motion because they are con- sistent gold men and represent gold constituents. Among these are Mor- rill, Spooner, Thurston and Gear. They are working on these men through the White House and at the same time back home with their constituents. This explains the action of the Towa Leg- | islature in declaring for the treaty. That deal was engineered by the ad- ministration leaders here to drive Gear into line. The same tactics are to be resorted to wherever it is neces- sary, especially so, it is said here, in ‘Wisconsin. During the executive session of to- day, there was an informal conference of the men who are regarded as the leaders for annexation and it was the unanimous opinion of all that they will have to go slow. The result is there are to be more speeches from the friends of the treaty than were at first scheduled. There is to be a play for delay and no vote on the treaty need be expected for weeks yet; that is, un- less the Dole visit pans out better than is expected. A good deal of reliance is placed upon the part which President Dole, with the aid of President McKinley, will be able to play. This Dole visit is to be a grand stand effort to convert some of the weak-kneed and doubtful Senators. President Dole is to be mademuchof. A certain amount of courtesy 18 of course necessary to the Chief Executive of a friendly country, but the extreme limit is to be played in this case. Some of the details of the proposed visit have already been given out. To- morrow the delegation, consistingof Mr. Cridler of the State Department, Major Heistand of the army and Commander Phelpsof thenavy, will leave Washing- ton for Chicago, where they will meet and receive President Dole in behalf of the President of the United States. The Governor of Illinois and the Mayor of Chicago will participate in the recep- tion there, and there will be a military escort and all that. Here in Washington the annexation newspapers have started a movement toward the decoration of Pennsylvania avenue in honor of Dole's coming, and in every way is the visit to be made imposing and impressive. All of this is for effect on the doubtful members of the Senate. They are to be shown that Dole is as big a man as McKin- ley, and they are expected to forget their objections in the general rejoicing and demonstrations of brotherly love. If this should have the desired effect, a vote may be pressed while things are hot. If not, President Dole will stay and will make it convenient to explain to as many of the doubters as he can see how badly this country needs those islands. Of course, it is not meant to insinuate that the President of the Ha- wailan republic comes here for the pur- pose of lobbying with the Senate. Some people here are strongly inclined to think that is the case, but such sugges- tions are unkind. Mr. Dole is coming on a purely philanthropic mission. To-day Senator Bacon introduced an amendment to Senator Morgan's an- nexation bill, which has caused much discussion. As The Call has shown, the senior Senator from Georgia is one of the most active opponents of annexa- tion in the Senate.: In the executive consideration of the measure he has taken a strong stand against the treaty and has laid stress upcn the necessity of getting at the real sentiment of the Hawaiian people. He has submitted an amendment to the treaty very much in the same language as is embodied in the bill amending the Morgan bill, which he introduced to-day The sentiment seems to be growing. For a time im- mediately after Congress met, and while there was much talk of parti- tion of China among the European na- tions, there was an apparent increase of talk favorable to the treaty, but all the recent developments have been on the old line. Hawail is not as strong now as it was then. The chances for | annexation seem to grow less as the conditions and the responsibilties in- volved are discussed. Senator Carter | gave utterance to a statement during | | S t have been issued appointing Lieutenant | {h€ consideration | taken before the first of February. open debate in the Senate which is widely commented upon to-night. He was pleading for the early passage of his bill providing for taking the next census. The opposition urged that the time of the Senate for the next ten days would probably be taken up with of the Hawalian treaty, and Senator Carter retorted, warmly: “I do not know what the views of the Committee on Foreign Relations may be concerning the time at which a final vote may be taken on that im- portant measure, but it is not reason- able to suppose that the vote will be It may be the first of June before that vote is taken.’ Senator Morgan concluded his four | days’ speech to the Senate to-day on the Hawalian treaty. He spoke for al- most four hours, and when he finished there were not more than half a dozen Senators present. He discussed, among other questions, the character of the | present Government of Hawaii. He contended that the disposition of the whites was to treat the natives liber- ally and said in reply to a question from Senator Hoar that there was one | native in President Dole’s Cabinet and five natives in the Senate, while a ma- jority of the members of the House were natives. The Senator read lib- erally from public documents on Ha- walii, including a history of the various | constitutions of the islands. There was a call for a quorum during the day, but the Senator remonstrated, saying | he preferred a small audience to the interruption caused by the call. Senator Teller took the floor and will speak when the treaty is next taken up. The Senate will next consider the nomination of Attorney-General Kenna to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. PRAISE FOR THE APPRENTICE BOYS Captain Barker of the Oregon ‘Writes That He Is Proud of Them. Youths Recruited on This Coast Are Very Proficient and Excel- lent in Conduect. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Jan. 20. The Navy Department has received from Captain Barker of the Oregon the foliowing report concerning naval ap- pentices, all of whom were recruited from the Pacific Coast.

Of course, there are some ex- ceptions. The quarterly board for the exam- ination of these apprentices recommends that twelve of them be pro- mioted to apprentices of the first class, and I cordially approve of their recommendation. The men, with their names and standing, are as followe: ~djus ~ummEg =} NAME. g Wharton Williams Wisker . Crego . The members of the board again report that Apprentice J. E.

Upon his examination he stood 3 in seamanship, 5 in ordnance and gunnery, 5 in conduct and 4.5 in signals. 1 think it woald not be inappropriate to rate him as recom- mended.
