Withholding Ill. "txequatur."

Ell PAso, Texas, Aug. 3l.-Gen. Samp-
son did not enter upon the discharge Of
the duties of his Office as consul at Paso
del Norte yesterday, for the reason that
he has not received his eXeqnutur from
the Mexican government and the COVER
nor OF Chihuahua, and the authorities in
Juarez refuse to recognize him until the
Mexican government equips him with the
necessary papers. 1t is known that the
governor of chihuahua has petitiOned
his government to request the United
States government to recall Gen. Samp-
son on the ground that lie was known to
he opposed to the interests of Mexico
But the general opinion is that the Mexi-
can government will not 20 to the extreme
measure OF demanding the recall of the
new consul, though the matter of issuing
him his eXequatur may be delayed several
weeks to allow the authorities of Mexico
an opportunity to inquire into the charges
preferred against Gen. Sampson, who ex-
presses himself as perfectly willing TO Il
tair and impartial examination.

DuNKIRK, Md, Aug. 3J-Cungressman
Mckinley was the principal caller on
President Harrison yesterday. They dis
cussed the advisabiity of convening con-
gress in extra session. Mckinley thinks
an extra session inadvsable and that con
aress could not be we'll assembled after
hearing from the four new states before
November !, and then there would be but
four working weeks, and that if by the
death OF any republican or the election OF

not be the case in Il regular session.

The returns received up tO'thts morn- ing show that the majorities in the various counties for the prohibition amendment are 10000 against 223, ,4S1. The total majority against the amend ment being 1S3, ,431, with a number of counties yet to hear from.
 PHILADELPHIA, June 2O.-The latest advices from the counties in the west and southern portions of the state tend to increase the majorities against the prohibition amendment. It is now esti- mated that the total will reach nearly 19O,0OO. In anti-liquor counties like Delaware the prohibition people were surprised to find a majority in opposi- tion.
 Chairman Palmer comedies defeat by 8 big majority. which he attributes to corrupt use of money. Senator Cooper says the majority will reach 19O OOO, and expresses the opinion that this is the deathblow to the third party in this state under the name of Prohibition.
 The headquarters of Chairman Palmer are deserted. The other side regard the victory as so complete that they are giving themselves no concern about late returns. Chairman McGowan says the movement it dead. and the details are of no concern. It Is likely the suf- frage amendment has been saved by the votes of Philadelphia and Alleghen y counties. The majorities will not be large

Semi.Cente ennial Honey.

A remarkable discovery was made a few days ago at the Cathay5 Yard of the Taff Vale railway company, London. A large elm tree grown in Worcestershire was being cut up into timber. when, right in the very heart, cavity measuring feet by 1-2 inches in diameter was dis covered almost completely filled with the comb of the honey bee, together with a squirrels skull. No means of access to the hollow was discoverable, neither was decay anywhere apparent, and around the cavity itself no less than fifty rings" each ring denoting years growth, were counted, the outer bark being, too, without flaw. The hollow was of uniform size throughout, and pre- sented the appearance of having been bored with an auger, and, great though its dimensions were, 1t was practically filled with the comb, proving that the bees must have been in possession for several years.
 How the bees got there can only be guessed, but it is surmised that squir- rel once occupied decayed hole in the tree, cleared away the decay, occupied the cavity as its own, and there died. Then the bees entered into possession and filled the hole with comb, when, by some means the entrance, which must have been small, became stopped, the large quantity of grub and fly being taken as demonsurative that the nest was not voluntarily deserted. Then for fifty years the growth of the tree went on. The entrance being absolutely obliter- ated, and the hole dramatically sealed, the comb was preserved from decay fol half a century, to be found at last in the way described. The find Is of the great est interest to naturalists.-London Pub. lic Opinion.

Palmer Comedies Q Defeat and Attributes 1t to the Corrupt Use ton Is Dead.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2O.-The Prohi- bjtion amendment has been defeated in this state by majority estimated at lS3,OO0. The fate of tho suffrage amend ment is in doubt, owing to the meager re- turns from the state outside of Philadel- phia. In the city of Philadelphia it received majority of 92,525. There was Q light vote boiled generally throughout the state, except in the centers of popu- lations. The counties beyond the noun tains in the western part of the state gave fairly large majorities for the amendment. though there were some surprises to friends of the issue.

NEW YORK, June 20.-It is learned on good authority that the northern ports of Hayti are still blockaded and that Q Clyde vessel, the OZamo, has been seized by the Belize, but afterwards released. At the office of w. P. Clyde X Co. it was seid that nothing was known of the al- legged seizure of one of their vessels.
 At the Haytian consulate 1t was said that there was no doubt that the steamer Caroline Miller, which sailed on Monday for Cape Hayti, under command of that well-known fiilibuster, Capt. John O'Brien, carried guns and ammunition.
 Among merchants interested in the Haytian trade some classification was expressed at the inaction of the United States government. "In fact" as one puts 1t, ''you cannot tell what the gov ernment is doing. It doesn't seem to know whether to recognize Legitime or not, although he is undoubtedly the legitimately head of the only government of the country existing to-day, and has been for some time. Our government practically is doing nothing, and that Is bad for business"

JoHNsTOwN, Pa., June 20.-It was raining here at intervals since early yes- terday, and the day was damp, dark and intensely disagreeable. Little has been done out of the usual routine yet. Work at the gorge is being pushed wig orously, and blasts are more frequent than on any previous day.
 Seven bodies were recovered yesterday all of them women. None of them were recognizable. All the remains were In an advanced stage of decomposition.
 Dr. Benjamin Lee, executive officer of the state board of health. has issued health bulletin No. D. the first bulletin since the 18th inst. It treats of the sani- tary condition of Johnstown and sur rounding boroughs, which he reports as excellent in view of existing circum- stances.
 Dr. Lee reports gradual improvement in the health of the borough. Coopers- dale Is somewhat inaccessible owing to high water in the Conemaugh, and there are some cases of stomach troubles in consequence of poor food. There have been no cases of contagious disease at the general hospital. but one fatal case of diphtheria at the Red Cross hospital and one other case. Among the sOldiefy there is not a single hospital case. Mea- sles are diminishing. Gangs are engaged collecting the carcasses of dead animals along the different streams and burning them.
 A big strike Is imminent among the laborers employed upon the public works here. Trouble has been brewing for sev- eral days, in consequence not only of the scarcity of the food supply, but of the poor quality of the rations furnished as well asi dissatisfaction with the at meeting of the Booth and Flynn men, who are especially dissatisfied. They appointed a committee of five to wait upon Gen. Hastings, and request his good offices on their behalf. The com mittee called upon the general and made a long statement of their grievances.
 They claimed that they had had noth- food they get is of an inferior quality. They also say that although they en- gagged to do work at the rate of S1.5O per day, they are required to work on the drift at night without extra pay when they are entitled to an extra days pay for the same. They also claim that they should have s1.75 per day and requested employers in their behalf, threatening to strike If their demands are not com piled with. Gen. Hastings promised to bring the matter to the attention of the contractors, but told them that was all he could do. It Is generally believed that the action preSages a general strike unless the demand for $1.75 per day Is conceded.
 JoHNsTowN, Pa., June Ex-Governor Beaver and the flood commission have arrived here quite unexpectedly, accom- panied by Gen. Hastings, and made a tour of the devastated district on horse
 back, dining afterward at headquarters. They have not held formal confer ence as yet, but the Philadelphia mem- bers of the commission express them selves as satisfied now that the press reports of the disaster wore not exagger- | ated and that the people of Johnstown are entitled to substantial relief from the state.

The Letter Was Long in Coming.

Just like man! November 26, 1864, Mrs. Hodges, of St. Louis, mailed letter to her husband who was with Sherman's army. On reaching his regiment the letter was given to Capt. Bixby, to be de- livered to Mr. Hodges. The captain nat urally put it in his pocket. A few days ago he found it in the same pocket of the same coat, yellow and dingy with twenty five years incarceration, but otherwise all right He immediately mailed it and MT. Hodges received it in St. Louis, the city from which it originally started. The news was little old, but the family en- ioyed reading it.-Washington Post.
