Mr. Young said, after a thorough examination, that it is one of the best and most secure dams in the state.

Govern- Washington, Aug. 5 No matter what the attitude of the Greater Republic of Central America, it is the intention of the administration to recommend gov- ernmental control of the Nicaraguan canal when congress reassembles. This was made plain at a conference at the state department, participated in by Assistant Secretaries Adee and Cridler, Senator Morgan, former Senator Warner Miller and Mr. Merry, the recently appointed minister to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica, regarding the complications which have grown out of the refusal of the governments of Nicaragua and Salvador to receive Mr. Merry. Mr. Merry shall go to Costa Rica, and that the headquarters of the legation shall be transferred to that country from Nicaragua. No steps will be taken to make the transfer, however, until the governments of Nicaragua and Salvador shall again have been heard from. The administration believes there is no necessity of entering even into a new convention with Nicaragua with a "view" of securing authority for the construction of the waterway. The programme it will follow will be based upon the provisions of the convention now in force, as well as the concession which was granted to an American company by the Nicaraguan government for the construction of the canal. This concession will not expire for three years. A CLOUDBURST. Water In the Streets of Koek Springs Three feet leep. Rock Springs, Wyo., Aug. 5.

A NOVEL DEFENSE. rhel'nion Pacific Claims That It Is Not. Amenable to State Lawn. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4 In its answer to the complaint of T. R. Tibbies,, charging the road with exacting extortionate freight rates, the Union Pacific takes a novel defense, claiming that the road is not subject to the ju-risdiction of the board of transportation or the state laws. Mr. Kelley gives a history of the Union Pacific, and shows that it is now In the hands of a receiver appointed!! by the courts. He says that the Union.: Pacific is a corporation created solely by virtue of the laws of the United' States, and is under no authority-whateverthat for several years andi up to October 13, 1893, the road was a. common carrier, but that as such common carrier it was not at any time subject to the provisions of the "act to regulate commerce," All the roads in Nebraska mentioned In the complaints file definite charges. and demand that the charges be made h ; ipecifio. Retaliation Demanded. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 4.

American territory, and also to rescind the action establishing such ports ofi ' entry at Dyea, Skaguay and Circle City. This action is taken in retaliation for what is deemed the harsh and unjustifiable measure proposed by the Canadian government to levy an import, duty on the personal outfits of miners and prospectors going from the United. States into the new Klondyke district.. Cloudburst In Colorado. Castle, Rock, Colo., Aug. 4 A cloud- burst occurred here which caused the most serious flood ever known in this country.
