Mr. McQueen Makes a Reply. " Wilmington, N. C , April 29. Editors Messenger: I must ask for space in your columns once more and then I am done. "Fne coinage's" probable answer to my que3 ' tlon is! just what I expected. It is the only plausible one and is only plausible. as I can show it will not stand the test of reason. , By his system of exchanges Eneland does pay India in silver for her cotton, but that does not prove that silver regulatt s the price of cotton, any more than that cotton rt gu'ates that of silver.! Neither one regulates tfie price of the' other. Another thing, no thinking man can be made to believe that England fixes the price of the 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 bales !of cotton made in the United States by what she pays silver countries for the million or them; 'she fixes the two she gets from price of what she buys by the quantity offered for sale as compared with her requirements. I have shown that silver has not re duced tbe prices of corn, coffee, etc Neither has it reduced the prices of sugar,! leather, ilhiminaticg oils acd other commodities that have declined as much and more than wheat and cotton in the past twenty years. Now here are some things that have greatly declined in price and others that have not Silve therefore, has had no effect on them. Their prices have been regulated by. that law of supply and demand, speculation inflation or other artifical causes may for a time! interfere with la 3 but in the loner run it is bound to prevail. Cotton that has been over-produced like, leather sugar,! etc, the silver people eay not by supply and demand has the price liuctu ated. ; Oh no, the decline in silver is the cause of it, and the oniy reason silver has not depreciated corn, coffee, etc., is be cause they are not produced inEngland'a Bilver using colonies like cotton. Nov if wheat and cotton were the only lead ing articles which have gone down', there might be some torce m that proposition Mr. Keith said "Mr. McQueen would have us believe that we have had free coinage since 1878." I did not say that or anything like it, but I do say that there has ben coined and used in this country as legal tender money since 1877 fifty times more silver than there was in its previous history; and not only that, there is more money in the country now than ever before; only once or twice has the per capita circulation been a few cents more than it is to-day. The mis take the followers of the silver agitators make is in allowing theuoselve3 to believe that there has been a conspiracy to de grade silver on the part of some people whom they call goldbugs, bankers, gold ites and other disreputable Dames, when the fact is silver has been depreciating for hundreds of years it is true, more mpidly in the past two decades, because of the immense surplus t reduced, and if you will, because countr es and govern ment; have thought it wise to restrict its use as money. But how can the people of this country help it or why should our Government uudertake in the face of these inevitable conditions in the world, to make it worth sixteen ta one of gold, any more than ten to one ? That - was the ratio in 1492 when the country was discovered.. By common consent the world over, ' ntxrole look upon gold as the most -JirWecious metal, and more to be desired than any other, and no laws that any nmintrv might pass could fix a perma nt ratio of value for eilver and gold ah v more than for corn and or peanuts and huckleberries.

Messenger Bureau, I Raleigh. N- C. April 29. S The rains are doing great damage." They have been phenomenal for April. The mean rainfall for the month is only 2.55 inches, but up to 8 o'clock this morning 4 inches more than that quantity had fallen. Telegrams report Roanoke river at Weldorj, thirty feet, or three feet above the danger line, and rising very rapidly. The rise was in twenty-four hours. The Cape Fear at Fayetteville - is twenty-eight feet. ' Flood warnings were sent out this afternoon. It is hard on the farmers. On thousands of farms no ploughing of lowlands has been done this year. The weather is now un -seasonably colli. BotlU . w"a i ' made several days last week. Early planted cotton is up. The dreaded potato bag has ap peared, in several counties. The State crop report says to-day that tobacco will thi8 year be an especially important crop in the Central district, with increased acreage. , The Supreme court to-day began the call of cases at the end of the docket. These will require at least a week, and the court will tnen probably be in session two weefcs longer, filing opinions, etc. Malvern 1. Jfalmer, tne state banx ex aminer who found the irregularities at the Farmers' bank at Itoxboro, was here to-day. He was looking over the books of the bank, in company witn iresiaent u. s. w instead and Cashier W. A. Jones, and found that 1.000 entered to the credit of depositors was not on the daily balance sheet. As Eoorf as this discovery was made : Cashier Jones stepped out of the room and at once told Vice President W. W. Kitchin of. the bank that he was caught and that he was short $2,300. - i State Treasurer Worth, to whom Exam iner Palmer reported to-day, said to me that he would at once bring suit against the bank and apply for the appointment of receivr by-tne judge. ; Ex-Ji d ,e Spier Whitaker sai i to me to-day that he nas only one platform now, this being the free txiinage of silver at 16 to 1 ratio. He will vote for the party, whatever it may be, which makes this the issue in the campaign. Ex-State Democratic (Jhairman Simmons in the course of an interview to-day said he had for some months believed that there would be no fusion of Populists and Repub licans in the next campaign, but that which ever party puts up a silver candidate for the Presidency will absorb the Populists. .fe.x-1 ;ongressman John JNicnols is a strong McKinley man. He makes the positive as sertion that protection is as strong in Geor gia as it is in Massachusetts to-day. Kevenue uollector Simmons nad advices to-day of the seizure of two illicit distilleries. one in Caswell county, and one in Mont gomery county, j Mr. VV. E. Christian, who went up to Charlotte to write up the matter of the es cape of Bank Cashier Holland hit it rigtit when he declared Holland would . be caught in xhirty-six hours. He had a straight tip that Holland was in hiding in Charlotte. Yesterday atternoon ne told President McAden of the" Farmers and Merchants' bank that the people were rest less in their desire to have Holland taken and Dr McAden said the people might rest easy, that Holland would be caught. And so there was not much surprise when news came early this morning that Holland had given himself up. t solicitor n;. VV. rou, wno arrived to aay from Johnston county, says there is no truth in the rumors that Isaac Wright, col ored, of this city, had been lynched there. There was a large gathering or Seaboard Air Line engineers here yesterday. All the divisions of the system were represented. Enginers Fetzer, Jones, Flynn, Caple and Pemberton, of, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern division, were among these present. A letter to-day from Keidsvule says aon ex confederate veterans from Rockhing ham county wiH come here May 20th, on a special train. Drs. Kirby, P- E. Hines and Carr made an examination of George Mills, the murderer, so as 10 maxe report as w mx meuuu uuuui- tion. Persons who have been, with Mills during the latter's imprisonment in the jail here regard him as not insane. Some per sons want his death sentence commuted simply because Jack Wimberly, the father of the girl whom .Mills murdered, is not sentenced to be hanged. Considerable sen timent has been gotten up in Mills' favor. Some persons say Mills is not crazy, though perhaps lacking in will power. Those who are urging clemency contend that he was but a vehicle in the hands of Jack Wimberly! At the Church of the "Good Shepperd here yesterday Bishop Cheshire connrmeci, six teen persons. It was his third visitation to this church. At Wake Forest Saturday the college base ball team overwhelmingly defeated the Ag ricultural and Mechanical college team by a score of 28 to 1. There are nowlpinety-nine pupils in the white institution lor the blind nere. There are the same nJmber of blind and deaf mutes in the colcted department. This is the largest number ever in the latter. The rains continued to-day and all the small streams are very high. The argument in the case of Ewart against Jones in the Supreme court Satun day was of interest. T. R Purnell made the leading speech for Ewart, contending that the legislature had the right to elect to fill the office of judge of the Western crim minal circuit, and that the political and ju dicial history of the State ought to be con sidered in connection with these matters. Ex-Judge Shepherd for Jones laid stress on the argument in the opinion of Chief Justice Peason in the cases of Nichols ys. McKee, and Walker vs. Bledsoer He con ceded the rights of the Legislature to elect to office, but denied its rights to fill a va cancy; and tnat tnis was a vacancy wnicn the Governor should 'fill by appointment. Mr. Sondley, for Jones, argued that Ewart was. as a member of the Legislature, in eligible. It-was expected that Judge Starbuck would to-day render his decision in the case of State Treasurer vs. Bates and other di rectors of the Bank of New Hanoyer, but the judge tells me that the decision will be fiyen to-morrow morning, as he is waiting or the return of Col. John W. Hinsdale. The weekly weather crop bulletin for the week ending to-day, says the past week has been the most favorable of the season. The temperature was above normal every day until Monday, with temperatures exceeding 80 decrees on several davs. with abundant sunshine, which was very benelicial. Much planting was accomplished, and improve ment in an crops was noieu. r oiiage win reach lull size Dy tne lutn oi may. csnip inent of strawberries has commenced. At the end of the week farm work is again stopped by too much ram, especially m the Central and the Eastern district, and the rivers are rising. ' In the Eastern district, up to yesterday tne weather has been" especially favorable. A f e w showers which were beneficial occcurred, together with warmer weather and abun dant sunsmne, causing greai improvement in truck crops and farms in general. The cold and continuous rains of Sunday and Monday will again delay work. Ihe nrst shipment of strawberries took place on April 26th. Irish potatoes are doing wen, except that potato bugs are appearing, and it is feared they will do much damage There is also complaint of sweet potatoes rotting in beds. Some peanuts and rice have been planted. Melons, corn and cotton are com ing up. Owing to increased price of cotton Borne farmers are increasing the acreage of cotton. The Cnban Rebellion.

Governor Carr was inyited by Mrs. Armistead Jones, president of the Ladies' Monumental association and members of its committee to receive the Confederate monument on behalf of the State. Governor Carr replies as follows: "I. am in receipt of your letter asking that I receive on May 20th, on the part of the State, the monument erected to the memory of our Confederate dead by the labors of your association. It will giye me pleasure to accept this beautiful uonu ment, and I congratulate the State that at last the brilliant services of the Confeder ate soldiers have been recognized by the people of the State, jl am proud that it has been erected through the efforts of the noble women- who in War were the dependence of the Southern soldiers, and who for the last thirty years have kept their memory sacred and taught the younger generation their noble deeds, their bravery and their many sacrifices for the honor of the State." NOETHERN FACTORIES. the fiew England and. - Middle States as to tbe Condition of the Mills. " Boston, Mass , April 29 The May num ber of the ironic Market Bulletin., issued to day, contains the result of a canvass of the textile manufacturers of New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as to the' conditions of their business, which proves to be nighiy interesting, ihe an swers were received from 481 establish ments, about evenly divided among the States named and fairly representing city and county and large and small establish ments. These answers compare April 1893, with Apnl 1895, and are summarized as ac curately as possible in a table. As to reductions and restoration of wages, 185 of the 481 establishments did not reduce at all. Sixteen reduced and have partially restored: and 252 reduced and have not re stored. The Fall River and New Bedford mills, which have recently made partial res torations, do not enter either of the aggre gates above. Nearly all concerns which did not reduce at all are either small mills in the country, or are producers of special ties in which there is little competition, or tor which fashion has made a good demand. In many cases, too, where the wage rates Mv been maintained, there have been re ductions oflruaningtime.or of bancs or both The table fairly shows that the yolume of production and employment and the wages paid are still 5 per cent, on tne aver age below the condition of two years ago. while the orders for goods are not quite half so encouraging as they were then; the cancellations are far greater and the profits are almost out of sight. It is the condition of orders and profits which best indicates the true state of business and affords a means of judging whether or not the present rates of production and wages can be main tained or increased. Several pages of brief remarks from the manufacturers are printed which show that most of them. are running simply to hold their customers and keep their help together. A Mistrial in the Pannill Case. Lynchbueg, Va., April 29 In the case of R.H. Pannill, indicted for complicity in the robbery of the Lynchburg National bank, on trial in the United States District court, the jury failed to agree and were dis charged to-day. It is reported that eight of the jurors were for acquittal. Pannill' s bail was reduced to $6,000. Richmond, Va, April 29 A Danville (Va.) special to the Dispatch says: Last night about 9:30 o'clock in a house kept by Fannie Loft is a row occurred between Jim Wallace and Louis Bbaner, of Lynchburg. The trouble first occurred at' iteidsville. N C. doling last week's races, over a gambling affair, and it was renewed last mgnt in tne house above named. Shaner was heard by one of the women a day or two beforejthe shooting to say that he intended to kill Wallace on sight. When Shaner en tered the house last night Wallace was there and Shaner went to the room where he was. The quarrel was renewed, and without the least warning, Shaner drew his pistol and fired; the first shot passing through the heart. As Wallace turned Shaner fired the second shot, the ball entering under the left shoulder blade. The wounded man never spoke after being shot. Wallace's body was taken to the home, of his sister. Shaner, after the shooting made his escape. The woman at whose house the shooting oc curred and one of the inmates were ex amined this morning and held for the in quest this afternoon, j Shaner is still at large: The Oscar Wilde Trial. London, April 29 The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Central Criminal court, Old Bailey. A number of letters written by the prisoners to young Meyer and others were read. The judge said he had read a letter from a dis tinguished literary man expressing sympa thy with Wilde and hope that the charges against him would be disproved. - Mr. C. F. Gill, who was Commoner Car son' s assistant counsel in defense of the Marquis of Qeensberry; proceeded to read the eyidence in the Queensberry trial re lating to Wilde's association with Alphonze Conway, a news boy of Worthing. Sir Edward Clarke, 6n behalf of Wilde, objected to the reading on the ground that the matter was outside the present indict ment. The court declined to interfere and also refused to exclude evidence regarding Wilde's relations with his fellow prisoner Taylor. I An Important Kail road. Decision. Washington, April 59A case involving an important question of the application of railroad rates was decided by the Supreme court to-day in an opinion rendered by Mr. Justice Brewer. It came direct to the Su preme court on writ of error from the court of Milan county, Texas, and in itself was not important, but settling the principle at stake made it. notable. It was the case of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad company, vs Heffley & Lawis. Disposing of the case Justice Brewer said that a statue of Texas j requiring railroad companies to deliver freight at the price named in the bill of lading,' under penalty of the damages prescribed in the law, was inapplicable to inter-State shipments since the passage of the inter-State commerce law, which forbids railroads to charge, col lect or receive-f or freight on such shipment, any other, either greater or less, sum than that named in the tariffs which they were required to publianed. line statute can ap ply only to shipments wholly within the State.

AMERIGAN GRUI8ERS ORDERED TO PROCEED TO PORTS OF NICARAGUA ' To Protect American Citizens in Case of Revolution To Take No Part iri the Contest With England Position of Oar Government Officially Defined Eng land to Seize Ports of. Honduras to En " force Payment of Bonds. . Washington, April 29 After sev eral conferences today between Secre tary Gresham and Secretary Herbert, the Secretary of the Navy sent dispatches to the commanders of the United States gunboats Alert and Atlanta, directing them" to proceed without delay to San Juan del Sur, and Grey town, Nicaragua, respectively. The Alert is at Panama and it will take her about a day and a balf to reach San Juan del Sur, which j is the cable station nearest Corinto, situated about 100 miles below that port. The Atlanta is at Key West and can make the distance of 750 miles from that place to Greytown.ln two and a half day. -. When OtcwtarySffetbigrt 1 was asked the significance of -these orders, he answered promptly as follows. ! '.- , 'The newspapers sav that a revnlntinn is probable in Nicaragua. They state that the people are very much dissatisfied with the course of the Government and are likely to attempt to overthrow it. In order to pro tect tne interests of American citizens, their lives and property, and following the nolicv always pursued in such contingencies. have ordered the Alert to San Juan del Sur and the Atlanta to Grey town. In addition to these vessels the Montgomery, now at Mobile, will sail for Greytown on May 7th conveying the Nica raguan commission to that place. The Monterey, which has sailed for Panama will remain at Panama for the present. With two United States ships on one side of Nicaragua and one ship on the other side it is plain that American interests will be well protected if the rumored revolution should take place. But I wish it distinctly under stood that these vessels are sent to Nicaragua for the purpose of caring for citizens of the United States and their interests, and not on any business connected with the situation at Corinto." The Alert is one of the older yessels of the navy, an iron cruiser of 1,020 tons dis placement, and propelled by a single screw. Her main battery consists of four guns and she does not compare formidably with either of the British ships now at Corinto, although she would probably not be over matched by the Wild Swan.now at San Juan del Sur, the port of her destination. While the policy -of this Government in the trouble at Corinto is well understood, the first authoritative statement on the sub ject was not made until to-day. A Cabinet officer said this evening that the United States could not interfere between Great Britain and Nicaragua in their matter of difference, because Nicaragua was a sov ereign State, recognized as such by Great Britain and the United States, and must hold herself responsible to Great Britain for offenses committed against British sub jects. He said: . "The United States Government does not undertake to extend a protectorate over Central America and South America to such an extent that a sovereign State of one or the other of these countries may insult an other sovereign nation with the expectation that this Government will protect it from forcible resentment by the nation in sulted. Such a principle has never been recognized by the United ! States, and if we , attempted to 1 assert it we would secure, the enemity of every nation having dealings -with Central and South America. It is understood that the situation at Corinto has been relieved of much of its tension bv an intimation cabled by Ambassador Bayard, that in oaae Nicara gua would guarantee payment of the In demnity asked within fifteen days, Great Britain would accede to a request for such an extension of time," l Mr. Warner Miller, president of the Nica- raguan Canal company, had an interview to-dav with Secretary Gresham and Secre tary Herbert. "My business with the Sec retary of State and the Secretary! of the Navy," he said, afterwards "was for the purpose of informing them of the physical connguranon oi me country on the proposed canai route, in oraer tnat the canal com mission may be assisted iu facilitating its work.. My experience in I Nicaragua has enabled me to give information that will be valuable to the commission and I have of- X 1 A V 1 , iereu w anora sucn assistance as in my power to mate lis aunes less arduous. In attempting such a survey in a tropical jun gle rc is necessary to be prepared, and 1 am here to help in that preparation." - Mr. Miller said he did not care to talk about the present situation in Nicaragua be cause he was the representative of the canal company, which had the greatest interest at 8taxe. e made the positive statement. however, that the United States would not permit Great Britain or any other country to undermine our interests in the canal property. Unexpected developments in the Nicaragua' xnusn situauon may De expected witnin twenty-four, or forty-eight i hours, i From oresent indications an aeTeement will nrrh- bly be reached which will be mutually satis factory to botn countries, which will result in the withdrawal of the British forces from Corinto and bring the present complications to an ena. Within the next forty-eight hours the armored defense vessel Monterey will be near the Nicaraguan coast, not far from Corinto. Whether she will stop at that port or continue leisurely to Panama is claimed to be unknown to officials of the Navy De partment. Secretary Herbert this morning received a cablegram from Capt. Higginson, of the Monterey, dated at Acapulco, yester day, simpiy announcing nis -desti nation as Panama. Nothing is said about an intermediate port, although 1,490 nautical miles between Acapulco and Panama are generally believed too long a stretcn ior tne Monterey to make without a stop for coal, unless her commander has taken precautions during his week's stay at a Mexican port to take on a supplementary cargo oi iuei. - j. London, April I 29 Representatives of Guatemala who are acting also for Hon duras, have been informed by the authori ties of the latter country that Great Britain is preparing to take aggressive measures for the collection of interest on the Honduran bonds negotiated in England upon which that republic defaulted nearly twenty years ag7. iuB luieresii tuiu principal m arrears. it is said, will amount to between 20,000 and 30,000 per annum, and the proposi tion is to collect the revenues of Honduran ports until some portion of the overdue in terest, at least, is paid. . London, April 29. A Managua dispatch says: At a late hour this evening President Zee lava received a telegram from Washing ton stating that Great Britian would with draw her ships from Corinto and ygive Nic aragua fifteen days in which to pay the f 75,000 smart money if Isuch a proposition would be accepted by Nicaragua. The dis- path also stated that, so far as the remain ing -conditions m tne ultimatum were con cerened.they should be so modified as to meet the objections of Nicaragua, It is an derstooa tnat tnese propositions are the re sults of the efforts of the United States to bring about a settlement of the pending dif ficulty in a manner alike honorable to both countries. Upon the receipt of the dispatch President Zeelaya at once held an audience with his principal advisers and a reply will probably be made within a few hours. Pres ident Zeelaya, it is believed, will be dis posed to accept the terms outlined in the dispatch. It will however require -i careful consideration, owing to the intense.hostility whichjexists against thelBritish Government and the willingness on the part of some of the people to continue the struggle indefi nitely. ... i - . .i.

Upon State Treasurer Worth's application for the appointment of a receiver of the Farmers' bank, at Roxboro" j Judge Starbuck appointed J. 8. Merritt, of i Koxboro. r In 1854 John Kelly, of Orange, bequeathed $6,000 for the education of poof deaf-mutes. This institution here has this fund, although white mutes are now taught at Morganton. The latter school brings suit for the money. The point is made by the Raleigh institu tion that colored deaf-mutes are taught at its, colored department. The Morganton ! school sets np the counter claim that in 1854 negroes were not recognized as citizens and j that the bequest was only for whites. This afternoon the committees to arrange for the monument unveiling, met Gen.

The Sun's cotton review saysr Cotton fell 3 points on May and 7 points "on other months, recovered this, and May advanced 1 point, lost the rise and; declined 6 points, then' rallied and closed steady with some months 1 ta 2 points lower than at the close on Saturday, i with sales of 170,700 bales.

A member of a large Texas firm now here, sava the crop in Texas looks well, and that though mere may De a reduction in the acreage in some sections of that State, there will be an increase in others. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged, with sales of 87 for spinning. In Manchester yarns were strong. ciotns dull. The Bombay receipts for the half week were 4",000 bales. The New Or leans receipts to-morrow are estimated at 6,000 to 7,000 bales, against 5,019 last Tues day and 1,425 last year. The Southern spot markets were generally quiet and un changed. Wilmington advanced Jc and Au gusta Jc. The port receipts were 9,360 bales, against 17,698 last week and 7,851 last year; thus far this week 18,807. against 24,082 thus far last week. The exports from the ports were 4,568 bales to Great Britain and 50 to the Continent. The port receipts this week are estimated at 60.000 bales, against 42.000 last year and 51,000 in 1892. To-days features were: lrregulantv in prices was very noticeable to-day, but, after all, the market wound up about where it left off on Saturday. It is true that Liverpool wag quite irregular and closed lower; 'that the crop outlook in some parts of the South was reported more, favorable, and that Liverpool, local and Southern operators sold here at one tirne pretty freely, but, on tne otner nana, it was stated that the ram fall in the Atlantic States of late has been toq heavy to be beneficial and the Continent sent buying orders, wmie in the later trans actions there was considerable buying for local and Southern account Fall River was stronger. Prominent bulls here were good buyers of the distant months, though they are understood to have sold some August. The weather in Texas has cleared up.: There was some effort to make capital out of a decline of 3-16d in silver in London and Sc. here, and talk to tne effect that there is danger of complications growing out of the treaty of peace between Japan and China, but the market here closed steady and practically unchanged, neyer- meiess.

At Chatanooga Chattanooga 5, Atlanta 9. - ; Will Not Close His Mills Providence, R. I., April 29 To-day the notices which, four weeks ago, conveyed to the 10,000 operatives in Olneyville the de cision of the manufacturers to close down all mills m the event of a strike, were with drawn from the gates of the Manton mills. inquiry developed: differences among the mill owners, who a few weeks ago formed the Manufacturers' club and decided to hght the operatives. Horace i4.ua ban. tne owner or the Man- ton mill, says he will run his mill to suit himself and that -no combination of men will force him to shut down under present conditions or for anything that the weavers at the national mills may do. At the meeting of the National mill weavers to-day, the decision centered on the question of a general lookout from all the mills. Chairman Small, in an address claimed that Charles Fletcher would hesi tate a long time before he closed down all his mills, three of which manufacture yarn for mills all over New England. The weav ers voted not to apply to tne district council for sanction of the strike, but to refer - the whole matter to the National convention which convenes next Sunday. Death of H. I. Kimball.

JAPAN OBSTINATE. SHE MAKES NO IEPLT TO PROTEST. THE TRIPARTITE! England's Attitude Toward Hawaii Hail Steamer Sunk, by a Rus sian Crniser Marriage of the Dowager Dnchess bf Marl boro Comments jof the London Press on the Situation in Hie-arag-aa. I London, April 29 A dispatch to the On tral News from Tokio says hat the reports that the Russian, French and German Min isters have gone to Kioto for j the purpose of haying an interview with Premier Ito are unfounded. Japan has not as yet officially replied to the joint note of protest lodged by the three powers. The Ministers of the i powers mentioned are still inclined to take a pacific view of the situation. In the House of Commons, Sir Edward Grey, replying to a question as to the terms of uritish recognition of the republic of Hawaii, said that official recognition of the I Hawaiian republic was given by Great Brit-1 am upon the stability of the form of Gov ernment bemg ascertained. He knew of no precedent, he said, for the withdrawal of such recognition after it had been granted upon adequate knowledge of antecedent facts. j Referring to the situation in Nicaragua. Mr. William P. Byles, Liberal, asked if the uispuie couia not be settled by arbitration. . bir .Ldward Grey requested Mr Byles to give uuuee oi ms intention to introduce a motion in connection with his question. Vienna, April 29 A dispatch fromSebas topol says the Russian warship Penderakly, of the Black sea fleet, collided at 3 o'clock j this morning with the Russian mail steamer Kotzebu near Takinhut light house. The Kotzebu filled rapidly. Most of the passen gers and crew were taken aboard the Pen derakly, others were picked up after she went down. Five men sank with the ship and were lost. The warship was damaged below the water line. She is an iron vessel near twenty years old. London, April 29 -At 9 o'clock this even ing neither the Foreign Office nor the Ad miralty had received any news from Nica ragua beyond the announcement that ixmnto had been occupied bv the British. The marriage of the dowager Duchess of i Marlboro to Lord William Beresford will take place in St. George's church, Hanover square, atl o'clock to morrow afternoon. The Duke of Orleans fell from his horse while hunting at Seville, last Friday and broke his leg. As a result the marriage of his sister, Princess Helene, to the Duke of Aosta, has been indefinitely postponed. The occupation of Corinto By a squadron of the British Pacific fleet has provoked va rious and voluminous comment from the London afternoon papers. The rait Mall Gazette belittles the affair from all points of yiew, dismissing it with the remark that the object of Great Britain is merely to teach the little Spanish-American republic manners, not to harm her. The memorial of President Zeelaya, la menting the insignificance arid weakness of Nicaragua as compared with England, is, the Gazette says, simply laughable. The Globe' calls attention to the opera bouffe aspect of the affair, the interjection of the Monroe doctrine into which accentu ates its ludicrous teatures. That doctrine, says the Globe, never had any convincing or binding effect upon anybody except Monroe nimseii and is not now, u it ever has been, an axiom of international law. The paper condems the bombastic utterances of cer tain irresponsible American journals and expresses gratification that in spite of them there is no desire on the part of the United States to quarrel with England over that lucsiLLueu jjiuiiiuiwjry aocinne. " V The St. James Gazette, -while regarding an alliance, offensive and defensive with the United States as preferable to a similar un derstanding with any other country, be lieves that a standing pact of such a char acter is a bad thing, inasmuch as both parties to such a convention would naturally act together only in certain matters. Seeing that American and British interests in South America are identical and that Eng land has no intention of making conquests anywhere on the American Continentthere is no ground for American iealousy. It is merely the desire of both powers to conduct their trade peacefully and both happen to be hampered by the anarchy prevalent in Spanish-America. England is disposed to accept tne co-operation of tne united states to correct this if the latter is inclined to act in concert. Alliance in this direction jvould be welcome. Further than this the St. James Gazette de clares in another article that Great Britain has taken the proper and only possible ac tion in the premises against an insignificant, insolent, impudent, arrogant and anarchi cal little South American i republic. The bases of the trouble seems to be in this case, as in others, that these barbarian . Governments j rely upon United States protection; otherwise i they would behave themselves. Moreover the Monroe doctrine has been the peg upon which they have hung their absurdities of speech and action. The idea that they seek to convey is that the American Government is ready to afford protection to every South American half breed who feels like robbing a European. "These fellows." the Gazette says in conclusion, "erroneously fancy that the electioneering bom bastes .furiosos of American journalism utter the sentiment of the Federal Government, but the insolence and aggressions of the Venezuleans and Nicaraguans and others of their kind, must be stopped. It is understood that the work in this direction begun will be continued with Venezuela. j Durrant on Trial for Murder of Miss Lamont. j - San Francisco, April 29-Durrant was ar raigned this morning on the charge of mur during Blanche Lamont.
