SPANISH HONDURAS.

Judge r. H. Rousseau, late Minister
Resident at Spanish Honduras, and a
brother to Gen. Rousseau, has returned to
this country. He gives an interesting ac-
count of the condition of affairs in Hon
duras. He thinks the country naturally
the richest and finest on which the sun
ever shown. The chronic state of war,
which existed there for so many years,
created so great q disparity between the
mile and female portion of the population
as to greatly interfere with the material
development of the country. There are
at least three women there to oIe man,
and the people there generally are OF
mixed blood. The present President is
highly spoken of by Alr. Rousseau.
Though almost of pure Indian blood, he
is a highly educated gentleman, and his
views are statesmanlike and progressive.
Since he has enacted the part of Chief
Magistrate, the normal condition Of the
country has been peaceful, and one of his
marked desires has been to invite the per-
manent occupancy of an Anglo Saxon
element, which he hopes viii have IA

i'm Vain for 100000.
A month or six weeks ago it was an
nounced in the Herald, on the authority
of several respectable German residents
of Newark, New Jersey, that a young
married woman, named Nuber, of Spring
field avenue, had, through the violent
death of an uncle, been suddenly elevated
to considerable wealth-from 500, 600 to
5000, 600, it was stated. The case was
properly investigated by several German
real estate men and lawyers, and the
truth of the statement seemed so certain
that Mr.. Frangest Beck, a well-known
real estate broker in order to secure the
money to the poor people, started for
Europe, taking the Nubers with him.
On Saturday, another real estate agent of
repute, Mr.. F. J. ID. Rumpf, friend of
all parties, received letter from Ger
many which stated that not only was the
whole story little more than a hoax, but
that Mr. Nuber found there an illegiti-

SIX SHIPS TO HAVE AN OCEAN
RAGE

The San Francisco AItd, of March s,
says: There is considerable excitement
among shipping men and sea captains, in
reference to the relative sailing qualities
of six British iron vessels, which will
leave this port during the coming week
for Cork and Liverpool 1t is seldom that
so many vessels of the same class have
| left so nearly at the same time, and there
| is considerable betting on the result. Fol-
| lowing arc the names of the vessels to sail,
and the records of their last trips: Ship
| Yosemite, arrived January "a, eighty days
| from Sydney, lis days from Newcastle;
ship Beringa, arrived January q, ninety
five days from Sydney; ship River
Mersey, arrived January %, 1893
days from Glasgow, via Lam
lish 1911 days; bark KenilwOrth, ar
rived Jan. 90, 155 days from Liverpool;
bark Cerastes, arrived Feb. 4, ia days
| from Glasgow, via Greenock 10 days;
bark Gdatia, arrived Feb. Is, from Glas-
cow, lis days. There have been several
| heavy bets made in regard to the Cerastes
| and Yosemite, the latter allowing the
former one and one-half days time for
the difference between Cork and Liver
pool. No finer feet of grain-laden yes
sells has ever left this port, and the hour
of their arrival viii be looked for with
interest. On such occasions there is con-
siderable driving of vessels, and it will
| be a matter of congratulation should each
arrive in port without having lost spar.

| Wolf and Furnishing the Lamb.
| Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
| WASHINGTON, March 24-There was a
| good deal of excitement in the House to-
day over the final report of the Cadetship
investigation. The bill providing for the
manner of appointing cadets met with
general approval. The resolutions direct
ing the Secretary of the Navy to order
Court to try Commodore Epson for pay
| ing money to get his son into Annapolis
was vigorously debated and opposed. 1t
came out that Hoge, of South Carolina,
had nominated cadet who had passed
examination, Epson, through a man
named Landon, paid 81, 800 to this boy
to resign, and then. as is stated through
Admiral Porter, the Secretary of the Navy
appointed Upson's son. 1t is regardeda as a
queer circumstance that the member in
question should not know of this.
EXoNKRATING THE WOLF AND PUNIsHING
THE LAMB.
The resolution asking the Secretary of
the Interior to dismiss Gen. Schoepf
seemed too harsh to all acquainted with
the circumstances. Maynard, Schenck,
Garfield and Arnel spoke of him in high
terms from personal knowledge Messrs.
Seenck and Garfield had both known him
for long time in the field. As to ae-
cepting brides himself, it was shown that
he had ordered persons out of his room at
the Patent Office who had Offered him
money for favorable decisions in patent
cases, and had reported some parties to
the Commissioner. However, the resolu-
ton was driven through. Garfield asked
a question so pointed, in both style and
manner, as to affect the whole House.
He desired to know with what poor show
of consistency members could vote against
Schoepf, when by solemn vote, the
House had declared that Butler, the prin-
cipal, was worthy to hold a seat among
them.
s. ONLY A CHANGE OF BASE.
The resolution directing the exclusion
of everybody who had attempted to bride
members from the floor, cloak rooms, re-
porters' gallery and committee rooms, was
carried unanimously, but an amendment
combining members to these limits seems
necessary TO insure reform. This bust
ness will hereafter have to be done in the
corridors, the restaurants, or somewhere
dowR town.
DLISSFUL IGNORANCE.
The positive assertions of Maynard
and Kelley, two of the oldest members,
that this sale of cadetships had been
common thing for years, made a great
stir, and quite a number of gentlemen
felt called upon to say that such state of
affairs had never effected an entrance
into their heads till this investigation be-
