TROUBLE IN NiCARAGUA.
People Voting: on the Ouestion of Declaring President Zelaya Dictator.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 27.—During the past few days considerable political excitement and uneasiness has developed in Nicaragua because several citizens have proclaimed that, in their opinion, President Zelaya should declare himself dictator, and eventually call a convention of the people to correct some embarrassing and conflicting clauses in the national constitution of 1893.
This national constitution provides that a constitutional convention shall not be called until 1903. This opinion was gradually gaining adherents among the persons of intelligence and wealth in Nicaragua, and the difficulties would probably have been settled quietly by respectable and responsible persons, but Jose D. Gamez, who was recently removed from several positions of honor and trust by the managers of the party in power, attempted to make a noisy demonstration in favor of the dictatorship. This movement of Gamez, vho was followed, by a number of irresponsible citizens, chilled the ardor of the honest element. Finally all the ministers in President Zelaya's cabinet resigned. These resignations the president declined to accept.
Municipalities have opened voting places and citizens are now voting for or against the dictatorship. President Zelaya favors a change in the organic law, but declines to assume the dictatorship unless a majority of the citizens who enacted and endorsed the constitution of 1893 declare it to be necessary for the purpose of allowing them to make the desired changes in the constitution.
CORNER IN RAISINS.
A Merry War Predicted Among New York Fruit Dealers.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—There is a good deal of talk among the West Side fruit men about a corner in raisins. Some of the largest handlers of raisins have been I taking all of the loose muscatels that they could gather in, and it is supposed that their, ^nrpos^ has been to. corner the market, sis they are not offering the fruit freely in the public market.
The quality known in the trade as "Three Crowns" is the favorite brand bought up by the "combine" and report has it that the consignments shipped from the Pacific coast to interior points have been placed under the control of the "cornerers."
Some say that certain influential members of the fruit, trad# will resist any attempt of a combine to unduly advance the price of raisins, and the outlook is for a merry war in the near future among those who deal largely in raisins.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 27.—A man who had claimed to be Count Gustav Carolsfeld, aged about 27 years, was found dead in bed Sunday morning at the Sohrieber hotel, Allegheny.

SILVER BILL HI THE SENATE.
That Pleasure Will No Doubt Be Passed Before tlie End of tlie Week-1/tali Senators Will Be Sworn In—A spirited
Discussion of Our Foreign Affairs
lations la Promised in the House.
iso
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The silver substitute for the bond bill and the Monroe doctrine declaration will continue to be the chief subjects for consideration in the senate during the present week. Senator Jones of Arkansas, iu charge of the silver bill, has given notice that he will attempt to secure a vote on the bill on Thursday and that he will ask the senate to remain in session Thursday night until this is accomplished, but it is considered probable by the friends of the bill that he may not succeed at that time in getting a vote and that this will not come until Friday or Saturday.
The opponents of the bill are not, so far as has been discovered, seeking to delay the final disposition of the measure, and its advocates will have no object in further postponement after the initiation of the Utah senators who desire to speak on the bill who have not had an opportunity and they will be afforded that privilege before the vote is decided upon. These include Senators Hill, Coekrell, Bacon, Nelson, Hansbrough, Mitchell of Oregon and others.
The silver bill is expected to pass, but even its friends do not place the majority at to exceed five votes, while others insist that with affirmative votes from both the Utah senators the majority will not exceed three. The bill is so radical that the more conservative silver men probably will cast their votes against it.
Mr. Thurston is the only senator who has given notice of a speech on the Davis Monroe doctrine resolution, but there are other senators prepared to speak to this when opportunity shall offer. Senator Davis, the author of the resolution, will be absent from the city during the week and consequently the resolution will not be pressed to a vote.
The friends of the revenue tarriff bill
committee will be held on Tuesday. If Senator Jones of Nevada is present at that meeting his vote will decide whether the bill shall be reported favorably or adversely if he is not present it is probable that the committee will inform the senate of its failure to reach an agreement and make a report without recommendation.
If Mr. Dupont of Delaware is awarded the seat from that state, there would be 90 members of the senate, and all three classes will contain the same number of senators—30 each.
HOUSEP~PROGRAM.
A Spirited Discussion on Our Foreign Relations Is Promised.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The week in the house promises a spirited-discussion of our foreign gelations. It will open with the presentation of the resolutions of the foreign affairs committee on Ar-menia-and will be continued in connection with the consideration Of the diplomatic' and consular appropriation bill which vrill be taken, up immediately afterward., This bill will open the gates to a general debate on foreign affairs and complications in all parts of the world..
The China-Japanese war, the depredations of American missions in China, the Venezuelan dispute, the Corinto incident, the outrages in Armenia with all their attendaut European complications, the invasion of the Transvaal and the arrest of Americans at Johannesburg by the Boer government, the Alaska boundary dispute, the award of the Bering sea commission, the Cuban war for independence, the Waller incident and the Bayard speeches any, or all of these, may become fruitful topics for
the whole Week will be consumed in disposing of it, but if any time remains it will probably be devoted to the District of Columbia appropriation bill yhich the appropriations committee expats to have ready oil Wednesday or Thimday. .-.ft* 'j USED AN AX.
