We had an interesting conversation yes
terday with one OF the Wheeling visitors
to Mexico in the winter OF 1889, who,
in company with three or four others from
this city, went there along with aparty
from Chicago. He takes deep interest
in the gigantic railroad projects now ma
tured and maturing in this country for
entering Mexico at different points, and
penetrating that country in all directions
He is firmly Of the opinion that the i'm
portance OF these enterprises to both
countries has not been over.rated-in fact,
cannot be oyer.rated. Mexico Is coun'
try containing 7l2, $50 square miles OF ter
ritory, or an area as large as 81 such States
az West Virginia. 1t has the greatest
variety Of climate, soil and vegetation. 1t
has fabulous mineral wealth. ItiScapable
OF producing enough coffee to supply
the United States, and it is also a
sugar, tobacco and cotton country. 1t has
the capacity to sustain large population
and yet 1t has not over ten millions OF peo'
ule, ifthat. It's export trade ls not large
and consists mostly Of the products Of the
mines. Its system Of agriculture has beer
so poor, and the development OF the coun'
try so limited, and the stability Of the gov
ernment 80 precarious, that no induce
ments could be held out to either capita
or immigration 10 go into the country
and inaugurate new era. Now, how
ever, everything Is changing. Mexico
wants railroads, and our railroad capitsl
lists are enthusiastic on the subject o
building them, and already several vas
projects from Texas, Colorado and thl
Pacific coast arc under way, The city o
Mexico is mostly their objective point
but they propose to gridiron tb
J country with various trunk an,
auxiliary lines. We are already o.
her borders at El Paso, and from thi
point, as also from San Antonio, Texas, th
: peaceful invasoin is to 50 forward. In

Three Barres wreel ed on Lake Erie

ERIE, Pa, November 22.-The barge,
Bay City, Eldorado aud Wesley were
wrecked yesterday FIVE miles east of this
place. They were abandoned by the
steamer Donaldson, having them in toV ,
and dragging their anchors they went on
the rocks. The Wesley and EldOrado
dritted rightupon the beach, and the crews
were easily saved. The Bay City being
loaded, went aground about ten thousand
feet frsm shore. The lie saving crew ired
line over her from a mortar, and thu
crews Of six and q female cook were
brought ashore, one by one, In breeches
buoy without touching water. All three
vessels will probably prove q total loss.
The Bay City Is insured for 5000. The
others are uninsured. The Captain OF the
Donaldson is severely censured for not re.
porting the circumstances on reaching the
harbor, where he lay for sixteen hours
before anything was known In the city OF

their apparatus five miles through heavy
snow drifts during one OF the worst storms
ever known,

The Presidential vote Of West Virginia
is published in this issue. 1t shows S,9Ol
votes in Ohio county for Garfield. This
needs an explanation. 1t curiously hap
pened that number Of Democratic voters
here threw of on Eustace Gibson. one Of
the Democratic Electors, and in lieu Of his
name substituted that Of Menager, one OF
the Republican Electors, and thus voted
both for Hancock and Garfield on the same
ticket, and yet at the same time, as it
were, cast two votes, thereby fctitiously
swelling the aggregate vote of this county
beyond it's actual amount. The real
strength OF Garfield IN the county was
S,77S votes, but by counting MenSger's
vote as his vote, and counting the highest
elector on the Democratic ticket as Han
cocks vote, we have an aggregate OF S,ll6
votes in the county, whereas the true
vote is only 1888.

Rofandipg. -,
WAsHISaroS, D. O., November 29.-Th'
points Of the report OF Secretary Sherman
are ready for the President. The two mos
important are the recommendations In re
gard to the refunding Of the large amount
| Of bonds due the coming year, and the
financial work needed in order to main
tain specie payment in gold on Affirm and
lss,ing basis.
In regard to the first, It Is understood
that the Secretary urges upon Congress
the prompt passage OF law that will
make 1t possible to begin preparations ior
Ills refunding at the earliest possible day.
The expectation about the Treasury De-
partment is tha: the Secretary will argue
in favor OF a long bond Searing q rate OF
interest not greater than S.65, ant possibly
as low as 8, payable in gold. The presents.
ton OF the question Of the maintenance oil
specie payments will involves discussion
OF the silver question and the effect which
it bids fair to have on the volume and
movement Of the gold currency in the
near future. Conservative silver legislS-
ton will be urged upon Congress.
A very full and clear review Of what
has been accomplished in the work OF
paying the war debt, refundlng bonds,
and resuming specie payment may be
looked for. 1t is believed that this ex-
hibit, under the hand Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, will go far toward prepar'
