Mexican Matters.

NEW YORK, February 25.-The Mail
and Express publishes an extract from a
private letter from Director-General
Pratt, of the Guatemalan service. He
says there are daily arrests there of
political offenders; that it is rumored
that Mrs. Barrios, widow OF the late
President of the Republic. and now
resident OF New York City, has given
$50. 600 TO assist in promoting disorder;
that two vessels under the Costa RIcan
flag, with men and arms. have been off
the coast of II 1nduras; that
Marco A. Soto, late Presi ent of
Honduras, also a resident in New
York, Is aiming at the Presidency of
Guatemala. Honduras and Salvador. A
reporter for the papers visited the per-
sons mentioned, who live IN adjoining
houses IN great egance GU Madison
Avenue, but who are not on speaking
terms. Mrs. Barrios is said to own her
property in Guatemala, valued ut $l4,-
100000. She denied having sent any
money to her native country as charged.
Ex-President Soto denied that plans
were on foot to make him Chief Secre.
tary OF the three republics. He describes
President Bogran. who succeeded him in
Honduras, as bloodt5irsty tyrant and
said that he (Soto) had secured the en-
nifty of the late President Barrios,
because he refused to play the 70 now
undertaken by Brogan. The reporter
suggested to him that many people be-
lieyed him the owner and filter out of
the steamer City of He1ico, recently
seized by the United States for violation
of the neutral relations. He said: II
have declined to discuss this matter be-
fore, further than to give simply a
negative answer, bnt think the time
has arrived when | should speak more
owned by me or my agents. She is not
in command of the revolving General
Delgado, butts navigated solely under
the orders of Captain Kelly. who sailed
in her from this port. She is an I'M
armed merchant vessel and not Il CRUZ
ser or troop ship. She is now at Key
West and will doubtless be promptly
released. General Delgado and about
twenty-five Hondurans, who fled from
the prosecutions of Bogram, are aboard.
There is not an arm aboard ex-
cept a signal gun, which every
steamer carries. She cleared regu-
larly from Beliz in the British Hon
duras where she took her passen-
gers, who were to be landed at Blue
fields OH the Mosquito coast. She then
steamed to st. Andreas. Fillibustering
reports reached there ahead of her and
her crew. became so much angered at
being kept at sea for no purpose that
they refused to co further duty.
They delivered themselves up to
the American commercial agent,
who represents the consul at
st. Andreas and he communicated with
the Consul at Aspinwall who notified
Admiral Jouett of the trouble. These
are all the facts, and if they constitute
the Gity of 4ericO a pirate, why, she is
at the ward arm. But, pirate or no
pirate, have had nothing to do with
her"

A Water Fanine.

VIENNA, February 25.-This city is
suffering from a water famine and is
agitated over the question of water sup
ply. The monopoly of the supply is had
by the municipal council and the watar
is all brought from the celebrated HoCh-
quelle and Kai.erbrunn Springs.
The quality of the fluid is ex-
cellent and the quantity was
ample before the recent enormous
growth of the city. Later, however,
the springs have frequently proved in
adequate and much inconvenience re-
suited Several private corporations
have, for years, pressed for the priv
ilege of supplying the city with water,
which they proposed to bring from the
River Danube, whose main stream is two
miles from the to IN, but the munic-
ipal Council has always aresisted
these attempts. The other day, owing
to long continued frosts, both Of the
springs became impeded. and Vienna
has been on short allowance ever since.
The council has issued An edict order
ing the greatest possible economy in
the use of water, until the frost releases
its hold on the sources of supply. 1t is
now proposed to reserve water from
the springs for drinking purposes, and
to draw upon the Danube for supply
for other needs.

READING, February pa man named
Lille, owns q mill at Shamokin Hill.
HIS twin daughters, Kate and Susie,
aged years. strayed to an up stairs

revolving. While at play the little ones
ventured too near the machinery, and
their clothing caught i'll the shaft and
they were drawn around 1t and whirled
with each revolution. After being
thrown around for an hour they we're
were found by an older sister who had
come to look for them. When the ma

her body in other ways much mutilated

her chances of recovery are small. Her
entire body is more or less injured, and
several bones broken.

The Knights of Labor

PHILADELPHIA, February 25.-ATch-
bishop Regain, when asked to-day
whether there had been any objections
raised against the Knights of Labor by
the Catholic ecclesiastical authorities of
the archdiocese of Philadelphia, said !:
No general disapproVal of the Knights of
Labor has been - de by the archdiocese
and / personally know very little about
the nature of the order. The matter
rests with the pastors of the churches.
While the church is opposed to certain
secret societies, the question whether
any particular organization comes
within the prescribed limits is left the
clergy to determine.

The nomination of Ross for COVER
nor on what is almost in every plank
o Swain platform, is what puzzles
Colonel Swans friends considerably
in this section, They regard the
platform rs an endorsement of the
principles enunciated by him in his
speeches during the canvass. The
nomination of Mccall as his success
sor for comptroller is also regarded
as vindication of his administration
of the affairs OF that ofice.-San An
tonic Express.
The question of platform ont little
figure in that nomination. A very
great proportion of the delegates who
voted for Ross knew little of his pub
lilo views and cared less. This was q
personal canvass in more senses than
one Houston Post.

There were some remarkable fea-
lures in tho contest for Congress,
just closed. A majority of the pa
pers of the district, we believe, were
for Thompson, and very bltterngainst
Moore. The result showed that like
their chief, they were better takers
than workers or they would have
made better show in the fight
Again, thore were two or three
papers in the district which assumed
to play fast and loose. They would
say some pretty things about Moore
aud Thompson, but wound up by do
claring that neither of them was the
right man, and that Miller should and
wonld be made tho candidate. As
Miller had positively declined to be
a candidate, in all candor and SINGER
i;y, this was alike discourtesy to him
as it was to Moore and Thompson,
who were avowedlY in the field. Sur
prising journalistic tactics, truly.
