The Old and New Treasurer.

Washington Special: The resignation of
United States Treasurer Wyman is the most
important change that has occurred as yet out
side the president and his cabinet The state
ment that Mr.. Wyman's resignation was freely
voluntary seems to be strictly true. 1t has for
sometime been known to few that he wished
to retire from his responsible position to accept
positions in connection with fnancinl insti-
tutions which had been rendered him. 1t is
known that neither the president nor score
tary Manning expected or desired to displace
him. Mr. Wyman was in March last elected
vice president of the Omaha National bank, and
is also to have charge of an important trust
company recently established in that city.
Conrad w. Jordan, the new treasurer ap-
pointed, who was formerly cashier of the
Third National bank of New York, is best
known in Washington by reason of his
examination of the treasury bookkeeping
methods by direction of the secretary and
his readjustment of the monthly death state
ment He is a man of fine appearance, tall
mustache and erect military bearing. He
has been for many years closely identified

AnothSf Account Of the Killing OF Barr1os
The San Francisco Bulletin publishes the fta-
lowing particulars of the death OF the late
President Barries Of Guatemala, obtained from
l. b Pe%r-cst, the Guatemalan consul of this
eiSy, who returned here on the steamer Gre
NADIA from Guatamala. The engagement in
which Barrios was killed was between one
battalion of the Guatsmalan troops and 4 much
larger body of San salvadeeeana. Barrios
gave the order h attach, but no advance
movement had been made, as the troops were
under command of an unpopular officer, and
refused to obey hin. Barrios was in his tent
with two of his officers when this information
was brought to him. On the refusal of both
these officers to assume command he left the
tent and while proceeding to the front of the
column he was intending to lead he was shot
by sharpshoo.er from tree. The bullet en-
tered his right shoulder, passed through his
heart, and out through the left side. Mean
while the battle had commenced and in short
while both sides withdrew from tho battle field

Secretary Whitney Of the navy department

coercion Of the vote of that yard at elections:
Since assuming the duties of this Office my
attention has been called to the conduct OF the
foreman Of the Mare Island navy yard in cleo
tons in past years, particularly in 1882. After
reading the testimony in the contested election
case Of Buck Vs. Dudley taken in the fall of

vote of the yard was practically coereed and con-
trolled by the foreman, either with or without
orders The men were obliged to take their bal
lots in folded form from q table presided over
by one or more Of the foremen, hold the bal
