SHERMAN WONT SERVE
On the Finance Committee Of the
Senate
HE IS VERY POSITIVE ABOUT II
President Cleveland Will Deal With the
Oklahoma Boomers as Did
Mr.. Arthur.
PROCLAMATION FROM THE PRESIDENT

WAsHHGToS, March Ex-senator Sher-
mans refusal to serve on the Senate
Finance Committee was not unexpected
Sherman asked the Senate to reorsaulze
the committee, as the material in it was
not satisfactory. There were a number Of
difficulties in the way though, and the eau
Gus returned the committee as it had before
been constituted. This explains why Mr..
Sherman, instead of asking to be excused
pre,emptorialy declined to serve on the COM
mi,tee, after the announcement Of the list
in the Senate to day.
Very Positive.
Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, addressing the
Chair to-day, said that he wished to de-
cline to serve on the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Harris suggested that the usual
method was to ask to be excused.
Mr.. Sherman retorted that he saw no
necessity for asking to be excused that ne
positively declined to serve.
Mr.. Ingalls, submitted resolution which
was laid over calling on the President TOR
all information in his possession respecting
the invasion of the Oklahoma lands, and
what, if any, action had been taken in re-
gard thereto.
Mr.. Beck announced that Mr.. Ransom
was excused from further service on the
Apr propriations Committee at his own re-
uuest-the work being too laborious for the
good of the Senator health.
Mr.. Miller, California;, asked to be, and
was excused, from service on the Naval
Committee, and his colleague, Mr.. Stanford,
will ill the vacancy thus created.
At 1890 p. m. the Senate went into
executive session, and few minutes later
adjourned until Monday.
Combinations and Nominations.
The Senate in executive session, con-
frmed the nomination of Charles S. Fair
child, of New York, to be Assistant Secre'
tary of the Treasury, and the Chair laid be-
fore the session communication from the
President Withdrawing the Nicaragua and
Spanish treaties.
The President sent to the Senate to-day
the following Army promotions: To be
INSPECTORS General-Col. Nelson Il. Davis
with rank Of Brigadier General, Vice Sacket
deceased; Lieut. Col. Absalom Bald, with
rank of Colonel Major Robt. P. Hughes

President Barrios' Decree at San Sal.
vador.
Ia Liberia, SAN SALVADOR, VIA CALVES
TON, March l3.-The decree issued BY
President Barrios proelaiming a Central
American Republican did not become pub
lie here until yesterday. In it he states
that after serious consideration he
issued the decree proclaiming him.
self Chief Of the Republic OF
Guatemala and the Central Ameri'
can Union as single Republic, assuming
the title Of Supreme Chief Of Central
America," taking as such the absolute COM
mand, and declaring that any one pro-
nouncing himself opposed to the Union or
embarrassing his movements will be treated
as traitor to the great cause Of nationally
and subject himself to the pains and penal.
ties thereof. He urges all chiefs, officers
and soldiers of Central America to JOIN
him, offering promotion, with decoration
and compensation.
The people Of this State favor the union,
but have no confidence in General Barrios,
who is an adventurer and cruel despot.
Therefore war was declared. The FIVE Re
publics OF Central America were one nation
until 1889. The Federation stood for reli.
gious freedom, and on this account the
priests opposed it and broke it up. All the
unhappiness and wars Of Central America
have had their origin in the dissolution OF
the union.
Mr.. Jacob Biaz, Consul General from
Guatemala to New York, said to-day: u
don't know who has declared war, or against
whom it was declared. imagine, however
that il was declared by Senor Barrios, the
President Of Guatemala, with the conteder-
ated States OF San Salvador and Honduras,
against Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The
first three, you know, have been trying
to effect o confederation OF all the
States of Central America Nicaragua and
Costo Rica have not favoredit. On Monday
received cable dispatch from the Secre.
tary of Legation at San Salvador, saying
that President Barrios had proclaimed that
all the States Of Central America were one
confederation. suppose this has led to
war. ] don't anticipate that the war will
continue long. Guatemala, Honduras and
San Salvador have much the advantage.
The first has a million and a quarter in
habitants. Honduras has 100000 and San
Salvador about 100000. The other
two States have not 100000 altogether.
Costa Rica is the most unpopular COVER n
ment in Central America. The war. If sue.
cessful in bringing about the confederation.
will be good thing both for the United
States and Central America. 1t will help
commerce and give stability tc the new gov
ernment. The States, united, will be strong;
divided, they are nothing. As a coniedera'
ton they could obtain money and open up
improvements throughout the couptry.

! ST. CLAIRsyILLE, o., March l3.-The
Borham murder trial is ended. The srgu-
ment was completed at noon and at one and
-one-half clock Judge Kelly had completed
bis charge to the jury and they retired. For
seven hours. they were out and at few min
utes before eight clock returned into court
with their verdict. As was announced that
Bub Borham was guilty of murder in the
second degree as charged in the indictment,
his wife threw her arms around him and
cried out: my God, are they going to take
him from me" and her outcry was joined
by bis sisters. making very pathetic scene,
their cries being heard across the street.
The verdict seems to be what was generally
expected. And it was only surprising that
the jury stayed out so long. The verdict
means that Oliver Borham will spend the
remainder of his days in the Ohio Peniten-
tiar,. The Jail WILDE closely guarded until
be is removed to Columbus.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-Hsssler will
probably not get the pension agency here,
for the reason that the present incumbent
has only held the Office fe" weeks, He is
a man without legs and an ex,Cnion sol
der, although he is not the most capable
man. 1t is thought Secretary Lamar
viii not have the nerve to rec
ommend his removal because OF
the crippled condition of the man, and then
again Lamar is strong stick'er for civil
service reform. Col Ben Wilson was met
on the street this morning. He says ne Is
no, q candidate for any office and promises
he will not be. Being asked what he thought
the policy of the new administration would
be he replied: 1T will be Democratic on
strictly business principles.

An Interesting Scramble.

SpcclCt 70 tRe ksgtS'er.
WASHINGTON, March l3.-For the Collec-
torship there are four prominent candidates,
namely: John 7. McGraw, of Grafton; ]. c.
Anderson, ofWheeing; Wayne Ferguson, Of
Wayne county, and D. c. Gallagher, of
Charleston. Marshal Atkinsons comuIs-
sion will expire some time next spring, and
there are four candidates mentioned as be-
ing his possible successor. They are
Columbus Sehon, of Mason county;
Charlie Wells, of Marion county; A. F.
RAIDER, of Nicholas county; John Plymate,
of Wayne, and several others. The scram-
Die for this place will be very interesting
one. The commission Of the district attor-
ney will not expire for over year yet and
it is probable that Judge Flick will be al
lowed to serve his term out unless he should
have the decency to resign. To succeed
him, the candidates are Attorney General
Watts, Of Charleston; Joseph Sprigg, Of
Hardy; D. a. Leonard, of Parkersburg; w.
Mollshan, of Charleston; c. ". Daily Of
Mineral, and two or three others. Not
much attention is being paid to this contest
for it is believed the President will not at
tempt to remove the commissioned officers
until their terms have expired.

Child.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March l3.-Mrs
Elizabeth Watson was arraigned il the
court here to-day on the charge Of ex-
treme cruelty TO an infant. The accused
woman, it appears, nurses the children OF
women who labor daily in the mills, and is
in the habit of partaking too freely Of liquor.
Friday, while drunk, she beat George Tu-
son, five months old infant, after which
she cut its ears off and otherwise maltreated
it so that the child died yesterday. Mrs.
Tuson, mother of the child, said she left the
infant with Mrs. Watson Friday morning at
s o'clock, as usual, and went to the mill.
When she returned at night the child was
shockingly disfgured and the nurse was
drunk. The mother afterward found the
child's ears on the sewing machine. The
womap's crime has caused considerable ex-
citement among women who leave their
babies with nurses. The woman was bound
over to await the action Of the Grand Jury

WASHINGTON, March l3.-It is understood
that of the sixteen Presidential postoLfces
not one ofthe commissions Of the present
incumbents Will expire before next fall and
then none until next December. Five will
run till 1888, three till 1886, and FIVE till
1887. The commission of the postmaster
at Fairmont will expire next
October. If the right man is
made First Assistant Postmaster
General there is no trouble in getting
Democrats in the smaller Offices. A good
many Congressman are more concerned
about filing the little offices with Demo
Gratis than they are about the Presidential
offices. The postmasters at the small 9TH
