Mr. Chandler stating that he would tirpe the conference hill to tinal action at the earlie-u possible moment. THE NICARAGFA BILL. Mr. Morgan, in charge of the Nicaragua canal bill, proposed an amendment designed to overcome th objections stated in the recent protest of Minister Rodriguez, of the Greater Republic of Central America. Mr. Daniel sjoke against the canal bill. At the outset, however, he turned aside to discuss the proposed international monetary conference. Referring to Mr. Wolcott's trip. Mr. Faniel said it was a remarkable and pathetic spectacle to see this sojourn to the foot of the British throne. The American ieople jroinj? to Lombard street and seeking Interviews with European financiers presented an impressive picture which deserved a place in the rotunda of the Capitol. The senator referred sarcastically to a crusade for bimetallism in which Mr. Sherman was to be at the head of the crusade. Turning to the pending canal bill, Mr. Daniel said it was dead. The speech of the senator from Indiana Turpie had k'lled it and Minister Rodriguez had expos! its corpse in the public morgue. Mr. Aanlfl bitterly denounced the canal company and the pending bill, declaring that the passage of the bill would In effect put the United States into the "bunco business" after pouring all the hundred million into this canal, the United States could not maintain exclusive control. The United States would pay for the canal and Great Britain would use It. We would have the name and Great Britain would have the thing. At the close of Mr. Daniel's speech the Senate, at p. m.. held a short executive session and then adjourned. After frequent conferences the friends In the Senate of the Nicaragua canal bill have decided upon amendments to the measure which they think will render It acceptable to the Nlcaraguan authorities. These amendments were to-day Introduced by Senator Morgan a-3 a new section, and are as follows: Section 18. That of the one hundred millions of capital herein provided for at Wast 5 per cent, slrtll be reserved for the Central American frcvernments. and citizens that may desire to subscribe to the Fame within a time to be fixed by the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua. That there shall be delivered to the States of Nicaragua and Costa Rica such portions of the securities authorized by the provisions of this act as they or cither of them are entitled to receive by virtue of the concessions now existing from said states, or either of them, to said Maritime Canal Company. Nothing in this act shall be construed aa empowering the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua to accept any rights or privileges or to do any act or thing Inconsistent with th.e terms of the concessions made to it by the Nlcaraguan government or the government of Costa Klca." COXCl'RHENT RESOLUTIONS.

They Need Not lie Presented to the rrenldent for Approval. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 The Senate committee on judiciary to-day authorized Senator Hill to present a report on the question as to "Whether concurrent resolutions generally are required to be submitted to the President of the United States," and the senator afterwards made his report to the Senate. The report is based on a resolution adopted by the Senate last February, which also directed the committee to Inquire whether the resolution mentioned under the last paragraph of the river and harbor bill of 12 is required to be a joint resolution under the provisions of that act. The conclusion on the subject of concurrent resolutions is as follows: "Whether concurrent resolutions are required to be submitted to the President must depend, not upon their mere form, but whether they contain matter which Is properly to be regarded as legislative In Its character and eftect. If they do they must be presented for his approval, otherwise they need not be. In otner words, we hold that the clause in the Constitution which declares that every order, resolution or vote must be presented to the President to which the concurrency of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary,' refers to the necessity occasioned by the requirement of the other provision of the Constitution, whereby every enercLse of 'legislative powers' Involves the concurrence of the two houses and even resolutions not so requiring such concurrent action, to-wit not involving the exercise of legislative powers need not bo presented to the President. In brief, the nature or substance of the resolution anil not its form controls the question of its disiosition." In conclusion It is stated that it has been the uniform practice of Congrer.s since the organization of the government not to present concurrent resolutions to the President for his approval and to avoid incorporating strictly legislative matter requiring such presentation in them. It adds: "As a matter of propriety and expediency it is believed to be wise to continue that course in the future." DUELIST PUNISHED.

The -Water Company then contracted with the Howe people to build the plant for $".O0O. This move was made to evade the statute which places the limit of debt in cities at 2 per cent, of the assessed valuation of property. The Howes were also to operate the plant for twenty years.

The city fathers first made inquiries of the contractors about their obligations Incurred in erecting the plant and were informed that all out a few small bills had been paid. Acting on this assurance the contractors were allowed all moneys due them. No sooner did the Howes fail than mechanics liens aggregating $11.00) were tiled against the Water Company by persons who had furnished either labor or material in the new plant.

Special tr the Indianapolis Journal. RUSSIAVILLE. Ind.. Jan. 25.-For several years the capon Industry has been rather on the declino on account of a decline In the price. The failure of wheat, oats and rye, the price of corn and the scourge of hog cholera that has prevailed in this section more or less for two years has caused the farmers to direct their attention to capon-raising onco more, and as a result the industry has been increased to its old time importance. When the price was 12,s and 10 cents per pound there were thousands shipped from this point every year. Th!s year O. S. Martin, a local grocer, opened up the market at 10 cents and partially dressed the poultry, hanging them up head down and inserting a knife into the back of the head, severing the spinal chord and at the same time severing a blood vessel. The feathers were then picked the bird still hanging leaving feathprs on the tips of the wings, legs and neck and without disemboweling they were packed and shipped to Chicago dealers. Several thousand capons were thus disposed of, but last week about twenty thousand live birds were shipped, the farmers receiving from $10 to $1."m) fcr their young caponized roosters, according to the number brought In. If they had fattened them with equal care and not had them caponized they would not have realized one-fourth the amount. Cold Canned Great SnfTerinsr. Special to the Indianapclis Journal.

Pinar del Rio province, on j Thursday, between one of Colonel San Mar- i tin's detachments and two treops of Insurgents commanded by the brothers Delgado. The place has a Spanish garrison cf 200 men. The Delgados marched to attack it. and San Martin's soldiers started to meet them. The insurgents prepared a reception for the Spaniards. On the way the column had to cross a deep creek, through a narrow defile. The Cubans undermined the bridge and hid on the roadside beside the thick brush. As the Spaniards came on the bridge it went down and precipitated thirty men Into the water. The regular formations were broken in the attempt to rescue the joldiers in the water. Here the Cubans poured in a destructive lire, and then snouting ' Cuba Libre!" charged with machetes. The Spaniards could not retreat, and the tight was a bloody one. Major Andres, the Spanish officer, was kihed and two or nis lieutenants. The troops suffered terribly, the Cubans hewing their way through thttn towards the colors. A desperate hand-to-hand encounter occurred, but the Cubans captured the r!ag and then the Spaniards fled. The troops at Iis Mangas, hearing of the firing, marie a demonstration, and the Cubans fearing to be caught between two fires, retreated, carrying on" their dead and wounded. The Spaniards' loss is reported at over 100. while the Cubans did not lose over fifteen men. At the palace in Havana the report was sent in from Las Mangas of a Spanish victory, but it added "the Spanish troons left the field before the insurgents did." J Cuban IleeoKiiH Ion AUel. ALBANY, X.

The Colored Uxtravaganza Company will be the attraction for the remainder of the week commencing to-morrow matinee. The compaiy is comp)3fi of thirty colore! people of this city, headed by J. W. Hunter. France Horizon Ilurnett'n New Piny. Toothful adv?ntjre3 and r??:tpides of royal personages 1 ave furnished the basis for the plots of many plays, but curiously enough the early life of George IV of England has been entirely overlooked by the dramatists t.ntil now. The young, handsome, griceful, accomplished, impressionable Prin?e George of Wales, who was aways running alter some new petticoat whose everyday life, in fact, was simply chock full of entertaining dramatic material of him the playwrights have all fought shy; all except Mrs. Frances Hodgson Durnett, who has made him the tero of her latest play, "The First Gentleman of Europe," produced at the Lyceum, in New York, Monday night. For a long time even Mrs. Burnett thought she would have to give it up. George was the hero of any number of adventures, but they weren't just exactly tbe kind of adventures that she cared to make the basis of a dramatic plot. They weren't-very nice leading, even, and they certainly wouldn't look nice on the stage. At. last she found an account of an adventure in which the prince had really proved a true hero, had withstood temptation and been a. man, and it was this adventure, or rather another, of somewhat the same kind that she evolved out of her cwn imagination, that she made the four dation of her play, "The First Gentlemaa 'of Kurope." The prince, it soems, was for.d of seeking adventures disguised as one of liis own soldiers. He is on ' one of these little jaunt when he make8? his first appearance in the play. With one of his friends. Lord Carrisbrook, he has found a press gang trying to carry off an old goldsmith and has rescued him at some slight injury to himself. The grateful goldsmith Insists upon taking his rescuer into his own home, and it is there that we meet the whole party, while Dophne, the goiusmith's pretty daughter, Is tndatring the wounded arm of the gallant print?, or rather colonel (for so he Is supposed to le.) Needless to say, the susceptible prince Is smitten by Uaphne's pretty face and at once engages a lodging in the hure. very much to the annoyance of another lodger, a voung loet, George Cattaret, who Is sincerely In love with the girl. The two young men tht prince and the poetare very well matched. They are Just the same age, nnd tre physical resemblance hetv.een them is striking. As for intelligence and accomplishment?, neither can lioast of anv advant.iR0. Tlie 1 oet, of course, is sincere and the prince isn't, but how is a 1 cor goldsmith's daughter to know that? And so. wh:i the curtain falls cn the first act. it looks very much u it the poet was gi'.rg to lose his sweetheart. The fortunes cf love nuctuatc very entertainingly through the r.ext three acts, but in the end. after Lady sark. one of the prince's favorites, who doe.n't want to lote her jx-sition. has done all she could to spoil her royal lover's little K?.me an 1 the ioeT has challenged the prince, who he supposes Is only a colonel, to a duel, and ben magn inimously spared fiom the penalty of fuoh a traitorous proceeding, the prince jictunlly does have a rpasm cf virtue and reigns Lviphne to the man who really loves her. The period of the play icrmits the use of handsome and 1 icturesoue scenery and costumes, and. usual, the Lyceum management has not failed io avail itself of the opi'ortunlty. As for the cast. Mr. J-.mes K. Haekett. who made tuch a Kood impression in the dual leading rele of "The Prisoner of Zenda," has another part of somew.iat a similar nature as the prince nnd Colonel Ffolliott; Miss Mary Mannerlng Is the Daphne, and Mr. E. J. Morgan the pt; Mr. Felix Morris plays the part of the old goldsmith, while Mr. Charles Walert, who has not yet been seen at the Lyceum this season. Is Sir Christopher Cartartt. an Irascible old baronet who has turned his son rut of doors because, forsooth, the young rascid declines to wed the lady eho.en for him by his iliers: MiF. Marie 1.

It is doubtful if blue has ever ben so favorite a color with Harvard students as sdrsce handsome Madge Lesslng utilized Xhnt shade for her tighls in "Jack and the Ileaastalk."
