nIIZNER,S MISTAKE.
Mexico Satisfied with the Amend
Made by Mr.. Blaine.

mexico Sat1sfted with the Amend G
Made by Mr.. Blaine.
WASHINGTON, November 3.-M.l Ro-
nero, Mexican Minister, arrived il the
city yesterday, having left the Pan
American excursionists. He said this
evening that his return was not due to
the Miner incident. That affair was
settled before he left Washington some
days ago. A dispatch from the City of
Mexico, received some time ago, stated
that there was great indignation there on
account of the speech made by MIR. Miz-
ner in Costa Rica on presenting his cre-
deniLals as Minister of the United States
to the Central American States. 1t was
stated that Miner had reflected upon
Mexico in connection with the boundary
dispute between that country and Guate
mala. Romero said the remarks of Miz.
ner had been officially disavowed and
nothing further would be done in the
matter by Mexico.
"There has been," he added, "no in
tention to ask for Miner recall. That
was not what was desired. Minister
Miner having made the statement he
did, the Mexican Government wanted to
know whether the insult was made by
the United States, and it now has been
assured that the utterances were un-
authorized, and that settles it,"
BLAINE's DIsAvowAL.
The Official Di0riou1, containing a
copy OF Secretary Blaine's letter of die
avowal, has been received here. Follow
ing is a translation of the letter: II
have the honor to acknowledge receipt of
your note of the 9Th instant, in which, by
instructions of the Secretary of Foreign
Relations of Mexico, accompanied by the
full text of Senior Mariscal's letter to you,
dated September 28th, you complain IL
the name OF your Government of certain
illusions made by the Minister of the
United States in Central America, in pre-
senting his credentials as Envoy Extra
ordinary add Minister Plenipotentiary in
Costa Rico, in last August.
1.-THE improperly and imprudent char
~cter of the remarks referred to, was
noticed by this Department when the
speech was received, and instructions
we're sent to MIR. Miner on the subject

THE cable edition of the HERALD yes
terdsy received fattering enconiums
on all hands, and we are we'll pleased
that our efforts to do justice to the com.
pletion of this very substantial and ex-
cellent system of street car service have
been so generally recognized. We have
now a cable-car service that is not sur
passed by any city in the United States
in the thoroughness of it's equipment or
in all the detail that goss to make up
an efficient, speedy and satisfactory
means of local accommodation. We
have now in Los Angeles about
forty miles of single street railway
track in operation. OF this twenty
one miles is cable. The company
that completed its system on Saturday
has eighteen miles of single cable track
in operation, and 1t is possible that it will
be considerably extended. There is no
doubt that the nervy and energetic men
who control that system will carry il
wherever the public exigencies may re.
quire and justify its extension. AS a
factor in the future growth and prosper.
ity of this city the cable roads will cut an
important figure. They enable the
poorer classes to secure cheap and scces
sible homes, and in the long run that fac
will be of an advantage to our city o
inestimable value. A city the great mas
of whose people own their own home
possesses within herself an element o
strength and progress which can neve
be realized by those cities that are onl,
tenanted by renters.

dreadful fulness of this sudden calamity
The Governor has issued proclamation
appealing to the people of the Territory TO
send aid for the sufferers by the fire
Tacoma citizens sent here Friday large
quantities of food, blankets and tents to
supply the immediate wants of the home
less and large quantities of supplies have
also been sent from Portland
PORTLAND, Ore, June 10.-The latest dis
patches from Seattle fail to confirm the
previous reports of loss of life. The re-
ports We're circulated during the time
the flames were raging and people
were greatly excited Careful and
diligent investigation thus far made
shows no lives lost While the flames
were raging man was seen carrying a
fire-brand across the alley between Third
and South Fourth streets, near Yesler
avenue He was setting fire to houses that
had escaped the flames A special police
man commenced shooting at him To
avoid the shots he darted into the house he
had fred and never came out alive.
Relief in the way of money, provisions of
all kinds, bedding, tents, etc, is pouring
in from all directions by boats and trains
There will be no suffering with such ample
donations The people of Portland have
sent several carloads of provisions and
forwarded $1,000 in coin which had been
collected to defray the expenses of the
Fourth Of July celebration.

THE NEXT CENSUS.
Physicians Requested to Assist in the
Work by Gathering Mortality and Vital

Physicians Requested to Assist in the
Work by Gathering Mortality and Vital
Statistics-A Suggestion to Farmers.
WASHINGTON, June SDr. John s. Briggs,
U. s A., will have charge of the report on
mortality and vital statistics as returned by
the eleventh census AS the United States
has no system of registration OF vital sta
tistics, such as is relied upon by other civ
ilized nations for the purpose of ascertain
ing the actual movement of population, our
census affords the only opportunity of OBJ
tanning near an approximate estimate of the
birth and death rates OF much the
larger part of the country, which
is entirely unprovided with any
satisfactory system OF State and
municipal registration. For the purpose of
obtaining more accurate returns of deaths
than it is possible for the enumerators to
make, it is earnestly hoped that physicians
in every part of the country will cooperate
with the census office in this important
work. The record should be kept from
June /, 1889, to May 81, 1890 The bureau
has issued registration books which may be
obtained by physicians who desire to lend
their aid in this important work on sending
their names and addresses to the census
office.
1t is equally important TO the country
that the returns in relation to farm prod
ucts and live stock shall be full and cor
rect The enumeration in the house to
house visit is constantly met with the
fact that farmers keep no books and hence
returns are not infrequently guess work
The census year began June /, and ends
May 81, 1890, If farmers throughout the
country would note this fact and keep ac-
count of the products of their farms during
the census year it would be of material
aid in securing reliable returns for the
eleventh census
