A few weeks since Major Burke, pro-
prietor of the Times-Democrat, State
Treasurer of Louisiana, and late Direc-
tor General Of the Worlds Exposition
accepted an invitation from President
Bogran, of Spanish Honduras, to pay
him visit. Maj. Burke shaped his
business affairs so as to be able to pass
three or four months in Central Amer
lea. Information was received by
steamer to-day that Bogran had gran
ted to Maj. Burke a concession of a
tract of land twenty miles square, on a
part of which is a promising gold mine,
while the rost of the land is heavily
timbered with mahogany and other
valuable woods. Maj. Burke is now
surveying this tract in person, and will
soon be ready to develop it with rail
roads and machinery. He has al.
ready been offered several hundred
thousand dollars for tho concession,
but has declined, believing the grant
will net him millions of money in the
next few years.

voices of the members and raps of
the speakers gavel to order. Such
an animated debate to continue day
after day for week.-Mrs. not occurred
in many years. When vote was
reached the bill passed by all over
whelming majority.
On Monday, under suspension of
the rules, the Mexican Pension Bill
was discussed but no vote reached.
1t is believed that the bill will not
pass this session because ii comes up
in such a bad form that the southern
members cannot vote for it.
The Senate has been engaged all
the week in the discussion of the
Educational Bill, and when a vote
was reached on Friday night, the
bill was passed by surprisingly
large and unexpected majority, the
vote being 3G to IL. Tho friends of
the bill were afraid that it would be
defeated because of the numerous
amendments made to it. They now
feel confident Of its passage by the
House.
The whole Democratic populace Of
the National Capital is up in arms
against the appointment of the color
ed lawyer, James G. Mathews, of
Albany, N. Y, as Recorder of Deeds
for the District of Columbia. This
Office, which yields the occupant
about $4,000 year in the way of
fees, was put down as sweet plum
for some local Democrat. Local men
for local offices has been the motto of
the Democrats ever since the meet
ing OF the Democratic National Con-
vention, and a plank to that effect
was put in the National platform.
The Democrats have consequently
felt confident of getting the few Dis
trict offices within the gift of the
President, and although impatient
at the delay felt that ultimately their
patience would be rewarded. The
nomination therefore OH Thursday
was a great surprise and caused
great indignation; but the President
doubtless had the good of his
party in mind, rather than the
qualification of few, and so appoint
ed colored man to succeed colored
man. Fred. Douglass steps out and
lawyer Mathews in, and the,suug lit
tie $4,000 goes TO non resident. Col.
Lamont, III an interview had with
him, has stated that all the other
offices here will be given to local
men. So, applicants, take due notice
and make 10 applications, as "no va
cancies exist"
Washington Charity Ball is always
notable event in society circles. A
great deal of money is realized out of
it every year for the Children's Hos
pital, and all for Sweet charity's
sake" This last was no less brill
liant and successful than previous
ones. President Cleveland attended
it, and enjoyed himself beyond -ex-
preston. lie felt that be was free
from all office-scekiag bores for a
time, and could sit in the presence of
a few personal friends in the gallery
specially set apart for him and quiet
ly look upon scene of animated
beauty such as lie never looked upon
before in Washington. This was the
first time that the President has APP
peared at an evening party since the
Inaugural Ball. Ii.
