Content With Interference Wnn Hawaiian Annexation She Sow Hopes to Control the Nicaragua Canal.

According to semi-official information, just received at Washington from Nicaragua, the Japanese government is secretly negotiating with the Diet of the greater republic ofr Central America, which recently met In Salvador, for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal, independent and in defiance of the interests and influence of the United States or other nations.

This action of Japan, taken in connection with her recent attitude in regard to Hawaiian anenxation, is of the greatest significance, showing, as it does to the authorities .that there is no limit to the ambition of the nation, and that her aggressive policy may yet get her into trouble with the United States. That the administration will desent any interfrt--cnee with the Nicaraguan canal project, as it did in the case of the Hawaiian annexation treaty, goes without saying.

If Japan can encompass it, according to the Nicaraguan advices received here, she would like to obtain the abrogation of all treaty rights possessed by the United States in relation to interoceanic transit. and the forfeiture of the American canal concession from Nicaragua, and to immediately make a treaty with the Diet of the greater republic of Central America giving her control of the canal route through Nicaragua, in the negotiations Costa Rica lias not been consulted, it being well known that she would not assent to a violation of treaty lights.

It has been suspected in some quarters that England, which has always been anxious to acquire at least a joint control of the canal, might be working in collusion with Japan in the "dickering" with the Diet now understood to be in progress, but nothing has yet come to the surface to indicate that she has encouraged Japan in the move.

It is said that the agent of the Nicaraguan canal has laid the facts before Mr. Hitchcock, the president of the canal company in New York, with the suggestion that tiie State Department be apprised of the secret negotiations that are now being parried on between Japan and the Diet. Senor Zelaya. the President of Nicaragua, it is understood, has admitted to close personal friends that Japan is negotiating with the Diet, but In each case he advises the strictest secrecy.

RIVALS THE KLONDIKE.

Rush of Prospectors to the Michipicoten Gold Fields.

The interest in the discovery of gold In the Klondike is as nothing compared with the local interest at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., over the discovery in the Michtpicoten gold Held, 150 miles from that city. Thursday twenty-live prospectors departed for the new Held, all of them residents of the two "Soos" and the majority business men, who believe in the richness of the new discovery. Another party left for Lake W'awa. for the purpose of exploring along the shores of the twentytlve inland lakes in tills district. Reports received from the fields of the new discovery show that gold of exceeding richness has been found, some of assaying as high as $1,000 per ton. J. J. Mac-key, one of the owners of the first claims discovered, says he has specimens from over forty different places, and all of them run over $500 to the ton. Mackey asserts that the leads are all true and run to the main vein, which is a genuine lissure. He has the authority of Professor McKenzie, tu expert mineralogist, that the find is the richest ever known in British America. So great is the excitement that ship captains are finding It hard work to keep their crews, and there have been hundreds of desertions among the sailors, who are going to the new gold fields to stake out a claim. The best feature of the new finds is that the country Is easily accessible by the aid of Indian guides and can be reached at any season of the year.

SPEECH BY THE KAlSEIt.

Euiperor William Talks About His Awful Responsibilities.

Wursburg, Bavaria, cable: The Kmperor and Empress of Germany arrived hero at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning and were accorded an enthusiastic reception. They were immediately driven to the reviewing ground.

Emperor William, in proposing a toast to the Rhine province, at the provincial banquet held at Coblentz, after the unveiling by his Majesty of the equestrian monument, erected In honor of William I, at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle, made a long speech on the subject of his grandfather, during the course of which he said: "My grandfather went forth from Coblentz to mount the throne as the chosen instrument of the Lord, and as such he regarded himself. For all of us. more especially for us prince?, he raised the tlirc.'ie once more on high, crowning it with bright rays of treasure which may we ever preserve in its sublimity and holiness—I mean the kingdom, by the grace of God, the kingdom with its heavy duties, its never ending, ever enduring toils and labors, with its awful responsibility to the creator alone from which no man, no minister, no house of Parliament, no people can release the prince. For me it will be a sacred duty to follow in the ways which the greater ruler has shown us, and in solicitude for my country to hold my protecting hand over this splendid jewel and in the tradition which has descended to us and which remains stronger than iron —y_s, even than the walls of EhrenbreHstein—to take this province to my heedful heart, the heart of the father of his country, and I wish with all my heart that her people may grow under the protection of long lasting peace."

INDIA'S FINANCES.

England May Decide to Establish the Gold Standard There.

London cable, Sept. 1: The following notice was posted in the Bank of England today: "The secretary of state for India, in council, gives notice that the sale of bills of exchange on Calcutta, Bombay and Madras, has been suspended for a period of not less than ten weeks.'-

The government lias very little money in India to draw on, owing to the famine and the plague having rendered the collection of taxes *slow. The present time may be opportune to accustom the Indians to the use of gold instead of silver, though it would not have been attempted had not the scarcity of money arisen. Tho Daily Telegraph, anticipating the action of the Indian council, said today: "The council may refuse to draw altogether, thus sending exchange up to the gold point and render possible the establishment ot the gold standard In India."

I reui-h Editor* Blustering.

Paris cable: The attitude of the 1'iencli press aim public towards Germany is distinctly more resolute than it was before the Franco-Russian alliance was announced. Various rumors concerning th.i government's intentions are In circulation, among others one to the effect that upon the reassembling of the Chamber o'j Deputies M. Hanotaux, the minister o3 foreign affairs, will make an important speech on the subject of the allianco which wil be in the nature of a manifest!} and will reverberate througuout tho country, and that the Chamber will immediately adjourn without transacting any further business. It is also reported that the government intends to dissolve the Chamber and appeal to the country, In the assurance that the popularity of the Meline cabinet is so great that the whole i-vadical opopsitlon will be swept] away. This effervescence is partly due to the celebration of the anniversary on Sedan day.

APPALLING DISASTER

FRIGHTFUL HOLOCAUST AT BROAD RIPPIjE AN INDIANAPOLIS SUBURB.

Victims Burned Alive—Six Charred Bodies Taken From Ruins—A Soore of People Injured.

KILLED.

JACOB DARLING, age 25. single. PIOUS E. GRESIl, age 19, single. CHARLES YOUNTZ, age 25, single. HENRY EARNEST, an old soldier. JOHN PORTER, age 18, single AN UNKNOWN heavy man. THOMAS MITCHELL, died of Injuries.

A frightful casualty occurred at broad Ripple, an Indianapolis suburb, Saturday, in which six men lost their lives and about twenty others were more or less Injured. The cause of the calamity was an explosion of chemicals or gas in the drug store owned by- James M. Watts, which was followed by a fire that consumed the drug store and communicated with the adjoining grocery store belonging to Henry Gresh. Pending tho spread of the Are to the grocery, a crowd of twenty-five or thirty men rushed into the store to remove the goods, and while they were there a second and more terrific explosion than the first occurred. Immediately the walls of the grocery parted and the second floor crashed down upon the men in the store. It was all over In a minute. A scene of horror ensued, women were screaming in the streets and men rushing about panic-stricken. From the building came the cries of the helpless who were pinioned down by the debris, and those who were not so seriously injured or so hemmed In that they could not get out rushed madly" from the ruins.

A'number were blown from the building and lay in the street or the ditch that runs along one side of the store. The windows in the houses in the neighborhood were broken and whole sections of the destroyed buildings were thrown many feet away. Burning embers were found two and three blocks from the scene.

But the most heartrending part of the fatality was yet to come. A few coolheaded men went to work zealously, immediately after the second explosion, to rescue the men that were fastened in the ruins. They worked manfully, chopping the timbers in two and endeavoring to remove the debris. They talked to the imprisoned men and encouraged them, but there was a sad lack of help and their work was fruitless. The flames kept creeping on, and in less than a half hour after the explosion the rescuers were forced to cease their operations and bid good-bye to those beneath tiie ruins. The cries of the latter died away as they succumbed to the heat of tho fire. Perhaps an hour passed while the flames consumed the grocery and adjoining buildings, but nothing could be done to extinguish them. The Broad rcipple lire apparatus Is limited to one insignificant hand machine on wheels and the Indianapolis department did not send relief until the fire was out. Tiie hand machine was useless, there was no water close enough for its limited inch-and-a-half hose, and, besides, the thing would not work anyway. There was nothing to be done but to await tho full work of the fire, which, unmolested, wiped away the two two-story buildings occupied by the drug and grocery stores, a cottage occupied by Manford Lang, a living stable owned by Isaac White, a barn belonging to Joseph Ferguson and some minor property. A quarter of a block was swept clean, and nothing but a few old cans and bricks, together with little heaps of ashes, remained to mark the scene.

As soon as possible the work of recovering the incinerated bodies began. Only one dead body escaped Injury by fire. That was Jacob Darling's. Darling was killed by the falling of the front wa.. of the grocory and was easily reached before the lire could get to him. The remaining dead were burned into unrecognizable shapes, their skulls, legs and arms becoming detached from the trunk. As these various members were not recovered at the time the trunks were taken out, 'with possibly two exceptions, it is now hard to tell to whom they belong. It is almost Impossible to identify with certainty at least one of the dead. Between the recovery of the body of Jacob Darling and that of Pious Gresh about a half hour elapsed. After Gresh's body was obtained the remaining corpses were dug out in rapid succession, the last one taken out being at 1:15 p. m., which was about four hours after the first explosion in the drug store.

It was about 9:30 o'clock when Edgar E. Watts, son of James Watts, druggist, went Into the dark room in the back of the store in company with Einsley Johnson, a yo^ng man who had come from New Augusta to visit him. Young Watts desired to show his companion how to develop pictures. In the store at the time were also Frank Watts, another son of the druggist, who had in his arms a two and a half-year-old boy of Edgar's, and also Tyson Mltcheiier, a man about seventy years of age. When the two young men went Into the dark room they carried a little lamp. After working for some time with a couple of films that e.v were dipping in a vat containing phosphate of soda and Eastman's development compound, the lamp went out.

Johnson handed Watts a match and says lie noticed the air was oppressive at the time. Watts Htruc-k the match and in an Instant the room seemed to turn green, followed by the terrific explosion. Both young men were knocked to the floor and dazed. Both, however, escaped, though they scarcely know how. The dark room was beneath a stairway and there was a window looking out from the stairway Into the street. It was through this window that Johnson in some manner got out. He found Watts on the outside running. Johnson was only slightly burned In the hands and face, but Watts 1b resting under opiates with severe Injuries on the face and head. He is not fatally hurt, however.

PIUS GRESH'S DEATH.

Rescuers Bid Him Good-llye and Leave Him to His Fate.

It was about 10 o'clock when tho second

.•••• ••.• S©

fatal explosion occurred. After the groeery walls parted and the floors fell in upon the busy men within, the men on the outside seemed to have become ralyzed. There was about twenty minutei perhaps between the explosion ana tliq time when the lire drove everybody back. Yet during this time It Is said that many were more Interested in saving their owq property than In rescuing the imprisoned men. There were but few men to at-, tempt to save their feliow-belngs. Among those who engaged in this work were Columbus Wright, F. Watts and J. C. Morganson. Wright was the last man with Plus Gresh. Wright says that after the explosion he, with others, attempted to cut Gresh out. "I kept telling Pius to keep cool,' 'says Wright. "Pius was continuous in ais appeals for help. He was wedged In beneath a lot of timbers and although we tried to reach him we could not extricate him. Finally I uncovered his head, but the fire became so Intense that I was compelled to tell the poor boy that we had to leave him. 'Plus, we have got to leave you,' I said. Ho begged us not to go, but we had no sooner got out of the way when the burning floor fell In. I heard men crying for help In the back part of the store." The other men wlm Wright tell similar stories.

Mr. Debs then launched into an attack upon capital and capitalists, ancj asserted that it was his purpose to dispossess them of the property amassed ati the expense of labor.

POWER TO TAX.

SECTARY SHERMAN ADDRESS ES A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF IOWA.

State Can Not Lery

A

Higher Rate

of

Taxation on Foreigners Without Violating Treaty Rights.

The attention of the Department of State has been drawn to th».- fact that the State of Iowa, by statute, has attempted to discriminate against foreign Insurance companies doing business in the State. As there were Indications of a similar, intention on the part of other states, and the matter was clearly in violation of the treaties with certain nations, Secretary Sherman addressed the fololwing letter to the Governor of Iowa: "Sir: It has been orally represented to this Department by the minister of Switaerland at this capital that the State ot Iowa has laid a tax upon the premium income of European insurance companies greater than the tax Imposed upon the premium income of American companies. As this action operates to the disadvantage of Swiss Insurance companies doing business In Iowa, the minister submita that it is violative of the treaty rights of Swiss citizens as set forth In art. 2. of the treaty concluded Nov. 25, 1850, botween the United States and Switzerland.

In order that the bearing of the reported measure upon the treaty rights of Swiss citizens may be duly taken into account. I have tho honor to quote the pertinentprovision of said art. 2, as follows: "No higher impost, under whatever name, shall be exacted from the citizens of one of the two countries residing or established In the other, than shall be levied upon the citizens fthe country in which they reside, nor any contribution whatever to which the latter shall not be liable.'
