TELEGRAMS.

New York, July 23.-The Tribune says:
Among the passengers bv the Germanie, due
to-day, are Cheng Tsao Ju. Chinese embass-
ador, and his suite, who are coming from an
official visit to spain, Bartlett, secretary of
the legation, said to-day, that the Chinese
embassy was interested in the question as
to whether, under the act prohibiting Chi
nese immigration, transient visitors could
be permitted to land. There are number
of Cinnamon in Cuba who are desirous of
returning home, and the natural route for
them would he by way of New York via
Panama and San Francisco, but it is doubt
full whether they can avail themselves of
them. The president pointed this out when
he vetoed the bill prohibiting immigration
for 20 years. Yet the matter seems to have
heen overlooked by congress when it passed
the ten years measure.
Chicago, July 23.-Board OF trade mem
bers object to the published statement that
their delegates to Toledo have agreed upon
an international grade of No. 2 red winter
wheat, in which ten per cent. of white
wheat would be allowed. The delegates in
fact and merchants here generally enphat-
ically condemn such an adulteration and it
is the intention here to maintain the es-
tablished grades.
Austin, Tex, July 23.-News from all
over the State indicate that Judge 1reland's
nomination for governor by the democrats
is not meeting with much enthusiasm. His
opposition to frontier protection by settlers,
his antagonism to railways and free schools,
and his political preiudices are strong points
against him and are effectually based. If
harmony prevails in the republican green
back ranks there is a chance of his being de-
feated.
Cleveland, July 23.--The strike at the
rolling millsis ended A number of strikers
notified Mr.. Chisolm they had been driven
into striking and desired to return. Mr..
Chisolm saszethe company could not re-
ceive thenNa committee from the strikers,
which body tne company did not recognize
Union mills are running all right, and un-
ion men returning will have to begin at the
bottom.
New York, July %. Eight cases of vel
low fever have been reported at quarantine
from vessels arriving from Havana. Three
of the patients have died. The strictest
quarantine regulations are enforced, and
health officers say the disease will not
spread to the city.
Chicago, July 23.-Twenty victims of the
toy pistol are now enumerated in the city,
all dying of lockiaw.
Washington, July 23.-There is good
reason to think that Barrios, dictator or
president of Guatemala, as he terms him
self, is here on a filibustering mission. The
report is that the purpose of his visit is to
try and induce the United States to inter
fere in the boundary dispute OF Guatemala
with Mexico, by the offer on one side of a
slice OF Guatemala territory or by entire
annexation, and by threat on the other
chat in the event of their refusal some ter
rible European power will be asked to do it,
In connection with the story it is rumored
that Barrios has been meditating this ope-
ration ling time. He has acquired a
great number of haciendas in Guatemala by
all sorts of smeans, with notion that when
annexation occurs these lands will rise i'm
mensely in value and he can be returned to
the American congress as Senator from the
new State, which would suit him much bet
ter than watching for conspiracies as die
tator of Guatemala By the annexation of
Guatemala he thinks that Mexico will be
caught between the shears of
the United States and can be cut up as re-
quired. Wild as these projects may seem,
they are supported by sundry Americans
like Gen. Butterfield, who last year took q
contract over from two Germans, Mr..
Name and Gen. Schlesiner. for construct
Ing d railway IToih ELSCulbtld TO G06 Capitol
of Guatemala, and who has been obliged to
suspend operations for lack of funds. 1t is
as extravagant a plan as that of freebooter
Walker.
Denver, July 23.-The Denver & New
Orleans railway yesterday filed motion for
an injunction against the Atchison, Topeka |
& Santa Fe in the U. S. court here. The |
motion was brought to compel the Santa Fe |
TO interchaDpe Freight and Dnssenoer hnsi-I
ness with plaintiffs as it did with the Dem |
yer Rio Grande. The motion was argued |
before Judge Hallet, who decided it could |
aot be sustained. The decision is tenn
oorary victory for the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe and Colorado pool. It almost
settles the original action to COM
'el permanent interchange of business, now
,ending :
