In the executive session of the senate the in.
junction of secrecy was removed from the fol-
lowing resolution introduced by Edmunds and
agreed to by the senate:
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 of the re-
publics of Nicaragua Costa RIGA and San Sal
vador, with the professed object of consolldat-
ing into one governments the republic of Gen.

wishes of several republics concerned; and,
whereas there Is pending between the United

treaty for the construction Of an
inter oceanic canal across the CONT
nent and in the republic of Nicara qua; for the
general benefit of all the Central American re-
publics as well as the United States, which

The census bureau has at last been
closed up, and the officers relieved from
their duties. It has taken the bureau
ever since 1880 to figure up the results
of the census and some volumes have not
yet been printed. The original plan
for the publication of the results of the
census contemplated the issue of 26
volumes, and 10 volumes have been is
sued up to the present time. Proof
sheets numbering 5000 pages. princl-
pally devoted to the mortality statistics
are now in type. The statement of
these facts is enough to show how the
whole matter has been bungled-for
bungled it is, when it takes five years
to learn the result of decennial census.
