Corinto, licaragas, June 2 Suoasa
hag rei4oed, it is true, but be bs gaioed
tbe actual victur; over the revolutionists.
In hi term 9 to United Stntea Minister
Baker, he said: "1 plainly see that my
personality is ubj cted to, bu! I sball not
sacrifice the party so carefully c ioseo by
my prtdeceesor, President Evaristo Car
razo, by submitting it to tbe indignity of
having it cast to the ground uoprotececi
If tbe insurgents desi-e my le-ignation
without sacrificing those prmcip'es ot
liberalism that I have striven ' to instil
into the beam of tbe Nicaraguao peo
ple. I am willing to rtsign from this
momen ; but il ibe country is io sue
comb to tbe duminaiion of the church
aod a retrograde to le. then I shall not
-ohmit to auv changes' io the present
form ot government." I has been on
derstood by Minister Baker that tbe
canal Interests will be protected both by
President ttacasa and Ms followers and
ihe revolutionists. If President Sicnsa's
requests are carried out. under uo cir
cumstances will there be any more tight
ing. as Prei-ldeot Sicaga has said that he
reposes tbe peace ol .Nicaragua in the
bandr nf foreign minister.-, and that any
toture act of vi ence W11 be laid at tbe
door of .the latter."

natitrally lefustd to honor the dratt.

of Eldorado, Union couuty, ArK., was
swept by one of the most desiruc ive cy
ciones about 4 o'clock tnis atternoon, that
has passed over this section of the south
for years past. Eldorado has a popula
tion of 1100, and the death and destruc
tion to peouse and property to tbe (own
was frightful. A dispucn received here
while tbe storm was rap mi? says trom 15
to 25 persons were Killed and li.jured in
IS dorado, while the destruction of prop
ertv and loss or lite in the vicinity was
terrible. Almost every bouse in tbe
town was unrooltd or blown down, while
three sawmill, a short ditaoce out were
entirely blown away. The roof ot tbe
Baptist church wa carried away, and
be sexton, who was in the building at
the time was instantly killed The cy

training order be issued lor nest SundaT.
This was refused. Judye Woods, speak
ing tor tbe court, said tbat no intimt
ion could be given as to when tbe de-
cision ni'gUt be expected.
Oo behalf of tne lair It was argued
that, it tb:s court should grant tbe
prayer of petitioner for an order closing
the gates Sundav, tbe management
won'd have to either d so bey tbat order
or tbe order of tbe state court holding
that, toe park being tor the recreation
and enjoy nient of tbe people, tbey could
not he kept out on any day of tbe week.
The court asked if tbe logic of this was
tbat.no entrance tee could be charged?
Tbe attorney tor tbe fair said do; because
ot tbe large amount spent in building the
fair, tbe directory was entitled to charge
fee. This bad already been decided in
etfuct. .

Washington. June 3 -At oo lime
since specie payments were resumed,
January 1, 1879, has the net gold in tbe
treasury of tbe United Stales been so low
as today. The amount is $S9.:i 211.
January 1, 1879, it was $114,193,539.
Since tbat period it has gradually io
creased until March, 1S88. it bad reached
$218,818,000 This was tbe high water
mark. Since then the Det gold holdings
of the treasury have ieen on tbe declin
ing scale. Wbile no uueasicess bas been
felt at '.be teaarj department, because
of the continued lots ot gold from the
tieaaurv, still He re:.ry Carlisle is not
uumiudlul of the lact tbat a limit may
be readied where the confidence reposed
in tbe treasury department by tbe people
may be shaken. How to rep!et the
treasury with gold has been a problem
seriousiy consideied by tbe adinioiBtra
Hon for some t me. Tbe issue of bonds
is tbe usual remedy suggested, but it is
known that tbe president is not in favor
of this alternative, except as a last re
source, and even it tbey were issued the
treasury officials are not by any means
confident tne treasury gold rep eted in
his way will long coutinue. It la con
tended tbat it tbe piao is put in force it
simply means tbat the government wi
he borrowing gold at interest for the
purchase of silver, with no assurance
that tbe gold so obtained will remain in
the treasury longer than the time neces
sarv to tike it out. Ttie suggestion has
been made that the secretary ot the treas
ury bas the power to issue greenbacks in
exchange for go'd, thus increasing the
amount of gold and increasing ti e vol
ume of greenbacks outstanding to the ez
tent of gold tbus exchanged. Tbe treas
ury officials say the idea is not a new one.
and bas been advanced at differeut per
iods in tbe past ten davs. 1 here is no
law on tbe statute books more stringent
than tbat relating to greenbacks. Tbe
secretary of tbe treasury haa no diretion
either to increase or diminish tbe volume
ot greenbacks ,

sections destroying bouses, leoces, and
crippling many, people. As far as known
tbiee were killed and about 20 injured.

Eagle Pass, T x., Jane 4 Fire broke
out Isst night in the Fueole coal mines,
which are simated in Mexico about four
miles from Eagle Pass and operated by
the Mexican International Railway com-
pany . There were 60 miners at work in
tbe mine at tbe time and 26 of the men
wete burned to death. Tbe others were
rescued. Tbe Mexican International
Rai way, wbicb recently came into tbe
possession of tbe mines, is operating a
narrow gauge road with a small engine,
wbicb penetrates tbe main entry, hauling
in ernp'y and bringing out loaded cars.
Tbis mam entry
is lined on tbe sides
and at the top witb creased lumber an
three air shafts from which to supply tbe
mines with ventilation. Tbe entrance of
the track is on the north side of a range
of hills, through wbicb it passes down an
incline to tbe mouth of the tunnel on the
banks of tbe Escondido river. Tbe work
ngs are all to the east of the main entrv
and some 60 men were employed tak
ing out coal. A: 4 o'clock yesterday
evening, soon alter tbe locomotive left
tbe mine was discovered to be on fire,
and smoke and Hmes were seen issuing
out ol tbe air shaft. About one bait ol
tbe miners were working near tbe main
tunnel, and tbey made tbeir escape,
leaving 26 of their number to perish
trom tbe beat and smoke and from tb
poisonous gases, which spread like light
ning to every portion of tbe mine. When
it was seen that ail efforts were useless t
rescue the imprisoned miners, every
energy was directed to saving the prop
erty from destruction. A hand pumo
was plared in position on the Escondido

No prices are being offered for wool at

cure it at any figure. The administration is

to the toreign product. The home product
cannot be placed on the market as cheaply
as mat trom Australia or the Argentine re
public, and manufacturers knowing this are
not desirous of purchasing the local fleece.
