Bishop James NJ. Thoburn was born in st.
Clairsville, Ohio. March Z, 1886. Everything
that has happened since is the result largely Of
his own efforts or his own merit. At the
age OF fourteen he was left fatherless.
and in the struggle that followed there
was foreshadowed the greatness which
has since become visible to all. He
combined study with teaching, and at last
succeeded in securing an education in ALLIE
gheny College, an institution from which he
graduated in 1851. A year later he entered
the Pittsburg conference, and in 1853 he was
he taught and travelled with extraor-
binary vigor and much success, new
missions multiplying under his ministrations.
He has several times visited this country and
has always awakened renewed public interest
IN the work of his life. He is a clever writer,
but his literary efforts have been confined to
the periodicals of Methodism. He was elected
missionary bishop for India in 1888.

COMMENCING MINERS COURSE.
What an American Resident of Guate-
mala Says of the Barrundia Case.

letter to The EVENING STAR from an Amer
lean resident of Guatemala speaks of many Of
the reports published by newspapers concern
ing Minister MINERS action In the Barrundia
case as ''exagSerations and falsifications of
news" He refers to statements telegraphed
from Washington in September to the effect
that the State Department was not altogether
satisfied with Mr.. MINERS conduct, and that
there was talk of his recall. The dispatch
quoted goes on to say that naturally the State
Department would be anxious to eyade respon-
sibilIty in the matter if it could. The Stars
correspondent calls attention to the correspon-
dence in the case of Jose Dolores Gamez, pub
iished in the report en- foreign relations
in 1885, and which case he says was
similar to that of Gen. Barrundia. In
this case Mr.. Bayard wrote to Mr.. Hall, the
United States minister at Guatemala, Under
the circumstances it was plainly the duty of
the Honduras to deliver him (Gamez) up to
the local authorities upon their request" 1t is
one of the best-determned points of interna-
tlonal law, says The STARS correspondent, that
as Mr.. Bayard says in the communication re-
ferred to when merchant vessel enters a port
for the purposes of trade she is within the
jurisdiction of that country. The authors of
newspaper reports, he says, would like to have
Mr.. Miner punished for doing his duty as a
man in the face of a temptation to seek popu-
lar favor and applause 10y tramping under foot
the law. Il am pleased to see," he writes.
that MIR. Miner Is a man of backbone and
good Judgment, and l have no fear of his
being recalled. He is just the man that is
wanted here. As dean and presiding officer of
the diplomatic corps OF Central America he
has displayed unusual ability as a diplomat
and good common sense an American citi-
Zen, of whom we may all well feel proud. The
successful outcome of the peace negotiations
WAS largely due to his sagacity and good iudg-
ment. l may add that Mr. Miner went
further i'll the matter in the interes; of Gen.
Barrundia and his family than most men
would have done. He had secured q written
guarantee on the part of the president of
Guatemala and the minister of foreign rela-
tions, made to the government of the United
States. that in no case would the life OF Gen.
Barrundia be i'll danger. He SO stated in his
letter to Capt Pitts which was read and trans
lated to Gen. Barrundia, who notwiths landing
caused his own death by opening lire upon the
officers OF the steamer and the port officials
1t happens. too, that Mr.. Miner did no: order
his surrender. He simply called the captains
attention to the fact OF what was his duty in
the matter, using, as it now turns out, almost
the exact words of Mr.. Bayard 10 Mr. Hall.
though he did not see them until afterward.
Here we all feel proud of the dIgnifed and
moderate course pursued by Minister Mizner,
who has never been guilty of any act that an
American citizen could feel ashamed Of

ELECTORAL REFORM in CHILL.
The Result of the Conflict Between the
Executive and the Legislature.


Information has been received at the State
Department from Santiago announcing the ad-
journment of the congress OF Chill, which has
just closed the most remarkable aud momen-
tous legislative session in the history of the
country. There has been long and deter
mined struggle between the executive and
legislative branches Of the government which
brought the republic to the verge of revolution
but has happily ended in a bloodiess victory for
the legislative branch that will be prolific in
important results. The correspondent referred
to writes:
1.-The differences between the executive and
the congress led to the passage of tho new
electoral law and it will probably eliminate in
the passage of new municipal law. The
former will secure to the people a larger share
OF electoral freedom than they have hitherto
enjoyed and it will render possible the cleo
ton Of a congress and President rejecting, if
not entirely So at all events nearly SO. the will
of the nation. The latter will confer upon the
people q measure of self-government to which
they have hitherto been strangers and of
which it is possible large proportion Of them
will have but an imperfect idea until the new
law is put in motion. There is no doubt that
both laws will be found defective, to a certain
extent, in practice. which will be the natural
result of the anxiety of congress to pass them
in time for the approaching elections. Never
theless both laws will be great and distinct
gain for electoral freedom and independence
Although the executive can still boast OF an
army OF employees it will not be able
to control their votes with the same
ease as formerly and as q natural con-
sequence there will be much fewer waikovers
OF government candidates than has been the
case up to the present. In the election OF pres
ident of the republic especially, there is now
the possibility of n perfectly independent can
didate being returned. In this way it is possi-
BILE for the parties who contend for supremacy
in the management OF the affairs of the nation
to alternate in power, as happens in the United
States and in England. The forthcoming cleo
tions may be defective in several respects, ow-
the passage of the law and the date for putting
its complex mechanism in motion, but even
under the most favorable circumstances they
will show great improvement on those effected
under the old law"

Wednesdays sale of seal skins and other furs
