The Edmunds Resolution in Fun.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-In executiveses-
sion the senate injunction of secrecy was re-
moved from the following resolution intro
duced by Senator Edmunds last Friday and
agreed to by the senate yesterday:
WHEREAS, The senate of the United States has
learned that the government of the republic of
Guatemala has on foot or threatens to set on foot,
an invasion of the territories and republics of Mica
ragua. Costa Rlca and San Salvador, with the pro-
fessed object OF consolidating into one govern
ment the republics of Central America by force
of arms and against the wishes of the republics
concerned; and
WHEREAS, There is pending between the United
States and the republic of Nicaragua a treaty
providing for the construction Of an inter-
oceanic canal across the continent and in the
republic of Nicaragua for the general benefit of
all Central American republics as well as the
United States, which treaty it is understood the
republic of Nicaragua has ratified. Therefore,
be it
ResOIUed, As the Judgment of the senate that,
in view of the special and important interests of
the United States in conjunction with the re-
publics of Nicaragua aud Costa Rica in the
inter-oceanc transit across the continent so that
in the progress of the adjustment of any inva-
sion of the territory of Nicaragua or Costa Rica
by the forces of Guatemala, under the circum-
stances and with the purposes before stated, is
regarded by the senate and ought to be treated
by the United States as an act unfriendly and
hostile interference with the right of the United
States and of the republics of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica in respect to the said matter.

A Railway Double Murder

DUBLIN, March 1S.-There is great excite
ment on the line of the Cork IL Bandon rail-
way to-day, occasioned by the finding of the
bodies Of two men frightfully hacked to death
with knives and then thrown across the
tracks TO be mangled beyond recognition.
The tragedy is surrounded with mystery, but
the theory of the police is that the men were
passengers on the train, and were murdered
for the purpose of robbery, the assalants
having secured seats in the compartment
with the victims and that the latter, after
having been fatally stabbed, were thrown out
of the car to be run over by another train.
Later intelligence indicates that the men
were killed while quarreling in a compart-
ment car on the Brandon railway in return
ing from celebrating st. Patrick's day at
Cork. They were all farmers, and the sur
yiVOrs have been arrested

The New Patent Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Martn Van
Buren Montgomery, nominated to-day for
commissioner of patents, is a lawyer Of good
standing and large practice at Lansing,
Mich. The president knew his qualifications
aud this morning requested a friend to tele-
graph him aud ask II he would serve the ad
ministration as patent commissioner. This
was the first suggestion he had OF the matter.
His answer was: II am a candidate for no
office, but my services are at the command
Of President Cleveland" His name was
immediately transmitted to the senate.
Montgomery was the attorney selected by the
homesteaders of Michigan to represent them
before the congressional committees in the
Michigan land grant cases, and his argument

PITTsBURG, March 1S.-While on his way
home last night R. H. Latimore, superin-
tendent of the Rough Slope mines at West
Newton, was attacked by striking miners who
concealed themselves along the roadside and
assaulted him with volley of stones and
brickbats. The assault was entirely unex-
pected and Latimore was so badly injured
that he will probably die. About twenty
miners have been working at the old prices
and refused to join the strike. This caused
bitter feeling and yesterday the strikers and
their wives stood about the mouth of the pits
and abused the workingmen. Latimore in
terfered, hence the assault. Warrants have
been sworn out for the arrest of the strikers
and their wives. The River Coal exchange
met here to-day and reaffirmed the decision
not to pay the rate demanded by the strikers
Forty arrests, including fifteen women,
were made at West Newton this afternoon
for completely in the attack upon Superin-
tendent Lorimer of the Yough Slope mines
last night, and warrants are out for upwards
of sixty more. The prisoners were held to
1000 bail each, and in default were sent to
jail. The assault was entirely unprovoked,
and has created great indignation. Lori
mer's condition is very serious. Beading
Bros mine, Bridgeyille, started up to-day at
the price demanded by the strikers.

Evans, obiection to Being Removed.


WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Mr. Evans, the
late commissioner of internal revenue, sent
the following letter to the secretary of the
treasury yesterday:
Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the
Treasury, Sir: / have received your letter
of this date, in which you state that, by dec
laration of the president, l am informed that
my ''resignation' as commissioner of inter-
nal revenue is accepted, to take effect upon
the qualification by my successor. l was
hardly preparedto receive such letter to-day
in view of the fact that 1 had not resigned,
and as nv information is that my successor
was nominated in the senate yesterday, it
may be proper that should take this occa-
sion to state that while have never resigned
nor even had a proper opportunity to talk to
you upon the subject, still it has been my
fixed purpose to resign at an early day, but
in no event later than the close of the fiscal
year, my second in Office, and thought l had
probably fair right to assume the existence
of an apparent cause for believing there was
too great a disposition to avoid hasty re-
movals to make it necessary for me to speak
of it, if at all, in the hurry of the earliest
days of the administration. 1 was acting
upon that assumption, and with no thought
or desire to embarrass anybody, and was not
supposing that / was doing so. Very re-
spectfully, WALTER EVANS,
Commissioner.

Another Insane Asylum Murder.

NEWARK, N. j., March 1S.--William Null
cahy, patient in the Essex county lunatic
asylum, was murdered last night by Heman
Fuchs, fellow patient, who beat his brains
out with heavy spittoon. Mulcahy was a
criminal patient arrested in January last for
larceny, and sentenced to six mouths in the
penitentiary. He became insane and refused
to eat food and was admitted to the asylum
and ever since has refused to eat food, which
had to be administered by artificial means.
At 9 o'clock last night he was lying on the
bed while the keeper was on duty in another
part of the ward when Fuchs entered his
room and picking up spittoon dealt him
two heavy blows on the forehead, crushing
in the skull. Fuchs was bound, but he be-
came very violent He said he did it because
he wanted Muicahy to go to heaven.
