DEATH OF ENVOY ENDS THE TRUCE All Negotiations Have Been Indefinitely Postponed As a Result. GREAT ANGER IS AROUSED

AT THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE AMERICAN WARSHIP REFUSED TO CONVEY GEN. DIAZ, WHO WAS DROWNED. (American News Service) Bluefields, Jan. 8. Peace negotiations between the forces of General Estrada and President Madriz have been definitely postponed as a result of the death of Gen. Fernen Diaz, the Insurgent leader, who was drowned off the coast near Greytown while on his way to confer with the peace representatives of Zelayas' successor. There is now no prospect that a decisive battle at Acoyapa can be averted, -with probably heavy loss of life. ,The death of Gen. Diaz, who was generally beloved, has cost the United States many more friends here. It is understood that an appeal was made to the commander of an American war vessel to take him to Greytown, but the request was refused and he started out in a small boat that was swamped by heavy seas. Enemy of Madriz. . Although Diaz was politically a bitter enemy of President Madriz, the personal relations between the two were close. General Diaz took up the task of bringing about an agreement between the oposing forces against the advice of his friends, and his intercession was the last hope of a peace pact being arranged. : Gen. Diaz undertook to reach Managua over the route on which one of the divisions of Gen. Estrada's army Is advancing on the capital by the sea, the San Juan river from Greytown, and Lake Nicaragua. He was one of the foremost of the rebels, and probably the most powerful next to Estrada. He left a sick bed to take charge of the strategic work at Rama before the government defeat, and was largely responsible for the result of the battle. Bluefields was in mourning today and services for the dead hero were held in the military camps and the churches. Looking One's Best.

The London hansom-cab Is making a despairing errort to keep on the streets, whence it is rapidly being driven by the swift and t popular "taxi-cab." "Cabby" now accepts sixpense (12c.) with gratitude ior ine same distance ior wnicn ne would have extorted thrice that sum in his prosperous years. A great number of London hansoms now bear a little red flag with the legend "fid for the first mile," and the drivers say that they are making twice as much money than before adopting the new system. ' Since that taxi-cab's advent the hansom-drivers have practically starved under the old system of a minimum shilling (25) faro. But now the onceextortionate cabman takes his bare fare of a "tannor and says "Thank you." The can't name for these red flag cabs Is "tannercabs." CITY LEH GAMES LEAGUE STANDING. Won. Lost. Pet.

MARION IS WINNER

Up State Team Takes Local High School Into Camp Last Nigght. CONTEST WAS A ROUGH ONE In one of the roughest games of basket ball ever seen on the "Y" floor the team rerpesenting the Marion high school, defeated the Richmond high school by the score of 21 to 19. The Marion team did not play basketball, but persisted in using football tactics Richmond clearly played the better game, but did not have the luck connected with the game. While Marion can claim the victory, they put up a game that would be a credit to Rugby. Each man on the local team can be credited with a good and fair game. Powers played the best for Marion, but that is not saying much. In the first half Allison, Taggart and Hasemeier are credited with one field goal each, while Allison made three foul goals. For Marion, Powers made three fields and Peters one. In the second half Allison made two foul goals and Tag gart made two fields. Hasemeier al so made two fields this half. Powers again made three fields this half while Peters made two fields and three foul goals. The lineup and summary: Richmond, 19. Marion 21 Allison Powers Right Forward. Taeeart Peters Left Forward.

The Earlham college basket ball team was completely outclassed by the fast Pur due squad at the college last evening. when Purdue won 55 to 14. The game started out fast and it looked as though the score would be close, but when the "boiler maker" guards got together it was impossible for the Quaker forwards to get a throw at the basket. The first half closed 29 to 6 without an Earlham forward securing one goal. The second half opened up slowly and Purdue had everything her way. It was only at times that the Earlham guards slipped past the Pur due men and scored. Furnas, one of the . guards for. arlham, played .the

star game. "

The managers of the restaurants, in those days, knowing this, would wink when asked for whiskey and say that it was against the rule, but they had some "cold tea." This liquid was served in a tea cup. Congressional "cold tea" became popular. Whiskey would be served this way for quite a while, or until the criticims of the Phohibs had quieted -down, and then the open sale of the liquor would be resumed. In the congressional districts, where the prohibition sentiment was strong, the members would be petitioned to stop the sale of liquor in the CapitoL These petitions were generally followed by the introduction of bills to prohibit the sale of liquor In the Capitol, but these bills usually fell asleep in the committee room.

It is now admitted by every one that better order Is preserved since the sale of liquor has been stopped, and there is a marked decrease of drinking on the part of congressmen.
