BAYARD ON BARRUNDIA AFFAIR.
He Thinks Mizner Had No Control Over
the Fugitive.


WAsHIxGroN CITY. Sept 90 -lspecfal lex
Secretary Of state Thomas F. Bayard has been
interviewed on the Barrundia matter, and in
the course Of his remarks said: 81 don't wish
70 be placed In the light OF assuming the part Of
critic or censor Of Minister Miner. The ON
cisl statement of the circumstances attending
the killing Of General Bsrrundia has not been
made public, and facts upon which TO bare
precise opinion are not at present available. II
the occurrences OF the afair are correct a. re-
ported, it would appear to me that the gravest
question Minister Mizuer will have to meet will
be what authority did he have to interfere at all
and lend his Official cooperation to the arrest
on shipboard and the removal therefrom of
General Barrundiaf What right did Minister
Miner have in the MISTER at ali? General Bar
rundia not being an American citizen, cannot
see what control Minister Miner could right
fully have over him.
The ex-secretary denied that there was any
thing similar In this case to that of Gomez. over
whom there was some trouble during his 3D.
ministration.

WEST END FURNACE.
Tho Furnace Lighted Up Yes-
terday.

The West End Furnace was lighted I'M
yesterday, with an expectant little
crowd standing around to witness the
opening of this great industry of Roam
okc. Several ladies were in the crowd
The honor of applying the iniatory
match, II the expression may be used,
fell to Mrs. Manic, the wife of the suner-
lntcndent OF the West End Works. and
promptly at fifteen minutes after ten
yesterday morning she applied the torch.
ana the blaze spouted out, to tho entire
satisfaction OF tho superintendent and
tho delight of tho little assemblare of
witnesses, among whom were n number
of ladies'.
superintendent Manic told a TIMES
reporter that there was not a SIGN of a
hitch In any of the movements ARRANGED
for the starting of the mighty iron
works.
AS u Tr,IEs reporter descended the
path of the steep hill that leads to the
iron works, the sun had just disappeared
III tho west and u crimson sunset
formed pretty background for the
dark, grim furnace that roared at the
loot OF the hill, squirting it's yellow
iamo from tho casting notch of the
furnace, while the noisy little Roanoke.
as 1T curved around the furnt ce, blushed
with the horizons red reflection.
An artist would have reioiced to have
seen tho picture and caught it with his
brush.
Down at the furnace the men were
getting ready for work. long yellow
lame was shooting from the casting
notch, for the furnace had been blowing
OIL all the afternoon. The night shad-
ows gathered round, and while the fur
mace roared, as if testing the power of
its mighty iron lungs, tho flowing rush
from us mouth sent upward toward the
rooi successive flights of sparks like
ascending meteoric showers in minia-
ture, and at the same time it cast a
weird glow upon the dusky faces of the
