BLOODY BANJOS.
Particulars OF the Execution of Rev. Father
Giliiet. a Catholic Priest.


Gillet. a Catholic Priest.
The colony of British Honduras is in a
state of excitement over the capture and
shooting, by order Of President Banjos, of
the Republic of Guatemala, of the Jesuit
priest, the Rev. Father Gilliet. By the laws
Of Guatemala all Jesuits have been Danish
ed from the Republic, and should any be
caught in the Republic they invariably meet
their doom by being shot behind the prison
walls, OF out OH the plaza, place reserved
for the execution of noted criminals, in full
view Of the entire populace. 1t appears
that Father Gilliet visited Guatelanla for
his health and not as a clergyman. Never
theless, he had scarcely set foot in Living
ston, when, being recognized by the COM
mlndant, he was arrested, ironed, and
thrown into dungeon to await orders from
the Capital-Guatelama City. On the re-
ceipt Of the telegram ordering his being
brought on to the capital for trial. he was
Invested of nearly all his clothing and
forced to walk barefooted a distance of 100
miles over the mountains his captors using
mules as means Of transportation. Arriving
after three days, he was tried and SEN
fenced to be shot. The news of his SEN
tence reaching the ears of the people in
British Honduras and he being man of
extraordinary eloquence and learning, and
one whom every one honored and respected,
the governor of Belize was waited upon by
thousands of persons of every creed and be-
lief and asked to demand the surrender of
the priest into his hands. This was done,
but all to no avail, for President Ban
jos had passed judgment, and nothing re-
manned but the execution of the sentence.
On Monday morning, Jan. II, Father
Gilliet was taken out of prison, under
heavy guard, and marched to the plaza,
where they were joined by two regiments
of soldiers; his coffin was brought and
placed before him; the soldiers formed
a hollow square, broken at one ss-street,
opposite which was placed firing party
Behind the soldiers We're the people of the
city, looking Oh awestruclz and silent.
The sigma! for the shooting was given by
three short rolls Oh a drum heavily mutfied
and hardly had the sound of the third
roll died away when, with one inst,nteous
report, 90 ca.bines sent forth their leaden
missiles on an GRAND Of death, and Father
Gilliet fell forward on his coffin, pierced
by II balls, a mass Of lifeless flesh and
blood. Immediately the shrill blast of the
bugle was heard ordering the formation of
marching line, and leaving detail Of eigh,
men to perform the burying, the soldierst
marching to the tune Of lively quickstep,
re-entered their barracks and We're dis
missed

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3.

SENATE-A message was received from the
president, urging that Justice be done the
Ponca Indians. Mr.. Morgan's substitute for
MI. Ingalls, electoral count resolution was
taken up, discussed at great length and finally
adopted.
The discussion in the senate shows clearly
that there Is to be no difficulty attending the
counting of the electoral vote, and no unusual
delay in..consummating it. This has removed one
OF the causes which it was feared would render
an extra session necessary by the delay which
it was supposed might attend the counting of
the votes
HoUsE-A message from the president, SINH
lar to that read in the senate, was received A
bill was introduced relating to the duties on
manufacturers Of iron, etc. The post route
and District of Columbia appropriation bills
passed A message was received from the
president transmitting and indorsing a commu-
nication from the secretary of the navy, asking
for an appropriation of $500, 900 for the es-
adjustment of naval stations on the isthnus.
The apportionment bill was taken up and Mr..
Cox OF New York made an eloquent speech.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3.
SENATE-The entire day was devoted to a
debate on Mr.. Morgan's electoral count reso-
luton, introduced last spring.
HoUsE-This body consumed the day in dis
cussing the apportionment bill, without action.

TEE power Of the railroad and money
Kings Of the country is becoming better I'M
dersteod than ever before, and there is Wig
orous talk about checking that power. Sen
ator Beck, of Kentuckey said in a recent in
terview, that five men-Scott Of the Penn
sylvania Central, Garrett of the Baltimore
and Ohio, Huntington of the Union Pacific,
Jay Gould, and Vanderbilt-can sit down,
and in five minutes chat, fix a tax of $780,
OO0, 900 upon the commerce of the country
by raising freight two cents a bushel, and
do it according to law. So much power in
few hands, and the strong temptations to
use it for their own advantage, will produce
an outbreak sooner OF later. The rights of
the people are SO clearly defined that no one
can doubt which side will succeed it con-
test should be precipitated.

Facts About the Halifax Award.

lluch comment has been caused by the hest
ia ion manifested by Secretary Evarts to as
sist in the investigation Of the alleged frauds in
the Canadian fishery award, as charged by Prof
Kinds. It is understood the real reason for the
secretary's inaction is that he knows that when
the award was made in England it was an arbi-
trary decision, without any reference whatever
to the facts When the commission met and
heard the case, Mr.. Delfosse, the Belgian min
ister said the Alabama award had resulted in Civ
ing too large sum to the United States, and
some of it ought to be returned. He proposed
So 100000. The British commissioner OBJ
jected to this and so did MI. Kellogg the Amer
lean representative, thinking that the verdict
had to be unanimous, and that by so doing he
award - ALL Mr.. Dclfosse was angry at this
and said he would make it So, 500, 900, to
which Mr.: Kellogg, of course, objected; but the
English representative assented, and it was
found that a majority Of the court had the pow
or to make the verdict, SO that the United States
lost So, 500, 900 through the misintelpretation
eff the terms of the compact. The facts are we'll
known to Mr.. Evarts, who realizes that is of no
use to enter into investigation, even when cell
sured for not doing So

CAPT. EADs is still pushing his scheme
for ship railway across the isthmus.
Though it is pronounced not feasible by
the best authorities, he claims that it has
advantages over all others. John Roach,
the great shipbuilder says: "a ship OF
steamer of large dimensions cannot in safe
ty be taken out of the water with cargo on
board, as there would be great danger of
injury to the hull, and consequently cannot
be safely transported with cargo on ship
railway In addition to the above, Admiral
Ammen quoted the following as condemn
ing the Eads plans: Harlem. Wallings-
worth & Co. and Pusey, Jones & Co. of
Wilmington, Del, the Continental works of
New York, and James Parker Of the Amer
lean Shipmasters' association of New York,
Lieut. Commander Gorringe, U. S. N,
who brought the obelisk from Egypt and
set it up in Central Park, denounces the
scheme Of Eads as humbug.

Veteran Electricians Review of the Selling.
Out Schemes and His Illustrations to Prove
the Hopelessness of Meeting the Popular
Demand.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Easily duped capitalists and an unob-
servant portion of the public, he said, with
smile, ''may fondly and eagerly follow so
attractive a will the wisp, but Just. as
sure as night follows day will they meet
with disappointment I tell you there is:
no way to get cheap telegraphy by compe-
tition under the present state of things. I
will give you an illustration of the manner
in which ostensible opposition lines have
been started and how they have been swal-
lowed up by the Western Union. Suppose
I undertake to start such line between
here and New York. fix the capital stock
at 5000, 900. OF this amount succeed in get
ting 800, 900 subscribed. then build the
whole line at a cost not exceeding $50, 900.
That leavesa nice little $50, 900 in my pocket,
not to speak Of the 800 600 in stock not
subscribed for, but issued to myself for the
purpose Of giving me the controlling in
terest. I now make great show of virtuous
respect for the popular demand by running
without any profit. But am aware that
there's a good time coming. 1t comes
that is, the Western Uuion comes. Find
ing that I control the stock it offers to buy
me out. lam willing to sell a thing that got
for nothing. I agree to take say 1925, 900 fol
the 500, 00Oin stock that was not subscribed
for, but was issued to myself. When I gel
that have realized profit Of just $75, 900
and the easy going gentlemen who furnish
ed the $4,000 to build the line do not gel
one cent Of their money back. This occur
red over and over again and I suppose il
will never cease. It may seem hard to un-
derstand how capitalists can be so foolish
as to allow unprincipled schemers to dupe
them in this manner, and yet the history Of
the telegraph is full of just such illustra.
tons as I have given.
"There has been more than $500, 600, 00(
subscribed to telegraph stock Of which the
subscribers never got back cent. Unit
the government interferes there can be ne
hope for better state of things, and chea1

SENATOR MAXEY Of Texas, is reported
to have said in a recent interview that he
was opposed from beginning to end to any
movement to cut new states out Of Texas,
and that, although there had been agitation
on the subject, and the project might be
brought forward in the Legislature, he was
sure it would receive no support Of conse-
quence, as the people were universally op-
posed to it. Texas is large enough for half
a dozen states Of the size Of New York, and

In 1929 Capt. Thomas Shreve of st.
Louis invented and patented snag boat
for use on the Mississippi, the model of
which was the same as that in use to- day.
He appeared before congress in 1884, ask
ing the Government for compensation for
the use of said patent, and nine favorable
reports had been made from time to time
by several committees Of Congress before
Capt. Shreve's death in 1851, and one or
more since then, but it was not until last
week that congress substantially recognized
the claim by appropriating $4,000 to his
heirs, which was drawn from the treasury
by Walter r. Carter, his son-in-law and ta-
ken to St. Louis. Capt Shreve was en-
gagged for a long time in improving
the Red River of Louisiana, and the
town of Shreveport was named in his honor.

The pushing Of railroads far in advance
of population is a topic in the Springfield
Republican, which shows that while New
England, the middle States andthe Atlantic
coast have only about 1-2 miles Of railroad
to every 1000 population, the Pacific States
have three miles, al d the new Northwest
four miles to only 1000. The Republican
says thata country which is absorbing SOC, 900
yearly in immigration, and nearly !, ZOO, 900
more by natural increase, can afford to lay
track ahead of settlement; but if railroad
building goes on at the present rate, there
is time not far ahead when k-laying
will have to wait for population to catch up.
