Mr.. GLADSTONE At MANCHESTER.
LONDON, Dec 3-Mr. Gladstone inspired
great enthusiasm into his hearers at Man
chester today By his definite expostulation
of the Liberal policy. He said: Ireland
is the leading question of the day, and that
the Tories would have been converted to
the Liberal view OF the subject by this
time but for the dissentant Liberals. The
split IN the Liberal party, he said, would
not have occurred accept for the personal
ambitions of some Tories and their allies,
who desired more to form national party
than to do political justice. he severely
arraigned the Unionist leaders on this
point and he said that the plan OF the cam
paign was necessary consequence Of the
governments refusal to graDt proper relief
to Ireland. There was. he said, less crime
in Ireland than in England. He Was OF
the opinion that the country had clearly
expressed the desire that there should be a
change in the administration of Ireland.
and the Liberals might look TO the future
with great confidence. lie was cheered
with great spirit.

FIVE NATIONS CONFEDERATE.
An Allegiance Forming the United States
of Central America"

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Nov. Tt is
stated on the highest authority that Pres
ident Roberto Sacafa will approve the
treaty forming union of the five repub-
lies of Nicaragua, Costa RIGA, Honduras,
San Salvador and Guatemala under the
name of the United States of Central
America For the first ten years this union
will simply be an offensive and defensive
alliance and the president of the union
will have charge only of the diplomatic
and foreign relations of the five republics.
At the expiration Of that period
the union will embrace all
political, commercial and other
relations between the five republics and
foreign powers. A common military
standard and common tariff laws will be
adopted but there will be free trade be-
tween the different republics. Honduras,
Guatemala and San Salvador have already
signed the treaty and it is understood
that Costa RIGA will do the same, as Nicara
qua has signed. 1t Is now considered Ger
tain that there will now be no more trou-
bic of any description between Nicaragua
and Costa Rica.
THE TREATY SIGNED.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Nov. 12.-Presi-
dent Sacafa has signed the treaty adj
hitting Nicaragua into the United States
of Central America, but it is believed that
the Nicaraguan congress will reject the
measure.

District of Columbia.

The interests of the people of the District
of Columbia should not be lost sight of in
the pressure of consideration of measures
affecting the whole country. Having no
legislation of its own, either municipal or
general, its people must look To congress
for the regulation OF those concerned on
the subject of local control. Our whole
people have in interest that the national
capitol should be made attractive and
beautiful aud ali its repute for social order
should be maintained. The laws regulat-
ing the sale of intoxicating drinks in the
district should be revised with view TO
bringing the traffic under stringent limI-
tation and control.
In execution of the power conferred
upon me by the act making appropriation
for the expenses of the District of Column
bia for the year ending June 50, 1889, did
on the 18th day of August last appoint
Rudolph Reriug. of New York: Samuel
NJ. Gray, of Rhode Island. and Frederick
u. Stearns, of Massachusetts. three emil
nent sanitary engineers, to examine and
report upon the system of sewerage exist
ing in the District of Columbia. Their re-
port, which is not yet completed, Will be
In due course submitted to congress. Inc
report of the commissioners of the district
Is herewith transmitted and the attention
Of congress is called to the suggestions
contained therein.
THE WORLDS FAIR.
The proposition 10 observe the four
hundredth anniversary OF the discovery Of
America. by the opening OF II worlds fair
or exposition in some one of our great
cities, will be presented for the considera-
ton of congress The value and interest
of such an exposition may well claim the
promotion Of the general government.

THE RACE QUESTION.

where they are now chiefly found by cruel
slave code. Happily for both races they
are now free. They have from a stand
point of ignorance and poverty which was
our shame, not theirs, made remarkable
advances IN education and the acquisition
OF property. They have as a people shown
themselves to be friendly snd faithful to-

OF tremendous strength. They have their

CHANGES IN CAPITOL EMPLOYEES.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The employees in
the south end of the capitol who were APP
pointed during the preceding Democratic
house were in an uneasy frame OF mind
this morning and the air was full OF
rumors of impending changes. The first
appointment was announced today. 1t
was that of Charles S. Martin, Of Kansas,
tie be one of the reading clerks. But this
appointment necessitates no removal, as
Mr. Martin will replace Neil Brown, of
Tennessee, VINO died last spring. The
new appointee has been for several years
one of the reading clerks of the Kansas
legislature and also acted as one of the
clerks at the last Chicago convention.
1t is reported that john &. Houk, son of
Representative Houk, Of Tennessee, and at
present in the employ of the census bu
reau. is to be assistant doorkeeper of the

The losses of the Pennsylvania Railroad must
reach far into the millions, probably exceed
ing that caused by the Pittsburg
railroad riots Of 1877. ~ On Friday
night, it was said that every bridge on the Penn
sylvnnia Railroad between Harrisburg and Al
toona, distance of over one hundred miles, was
washed away. If these reports be true, travel
on the Pennsylvania Railroad appears to be an
uncertain thing for several days The employees
of the road are working night and day to reopen
the line, and have so far succeeded that
telegraphic communication has been obtained
between Philadelphia and Altoona, and it was
learned that passengers were safe in tic latter
town about whom the greatest anxiety had been
felt in the East.
