Reasons for Placing Troops on the Salvador
Frontier

FRONTIER.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 17.-The Hon
duras Secretary OF Foreign Affairs, in a
note to General Ezeta, gives the following
reasons why his Government is placing
troops on the Honduras-Salvador frontier:
First-You called to arms and armed
Honduras refugees, melting them to invade
Honduras because Honduras refused to
recognize the state of affairs brought ON by
General EZeta in Salvador on the night Of
June ODD.
Second-The unjustified and Illegal treat
ment accorded Hondurans by your Govern
ment, even to the shooting, by order of
Colonel Bramek. of Calixo of AccOsto, a
peaceable Honduran, at San Antonio Mo-
reta, which was fragrant violation OF all
international right and law.
Third-Salvador suspended without right
or justice ali cable communications be-
tween Honduras and the United States and
Europe, to the detriment OF her commerce
and Industries.
Fourth-Salvador ordered the suspension
of commercial, postal and telegraphic COM
municatlon between Salvador and Hondu-
ras Those facts are the cause of the pres
ent attitude of Honduras, and until Saliva
dor changes her tactics or peace be ar
ranged Honduras. as sister and friend of
Guatemala, will conserve and strengthen
the attitude adopted by Guatemala against
Salvador.
GUATEMALA, Aug III Peace negotia-
tions are nearly concluded. Everything is

GEN. GRANTS REMAINS.
The Question Of Their Removal Left 10 the
Decision Of Congress.

New YORK, August IT. - The Press
Washington correspondent says: Con-
gresham John Quinn to-day received from
U. S. Grant Jr. reply to his letter to the
widow of General Grant, requesting that
she state her wishes regarding the proposed
removal of the great warriors remains to
the Arlington National Cemetery. The
letter, which is dated Salem Center. West,
says THAT at the time when Mrs.
Grant was with Colonel Grant he wrote a
letter for publication, with the intention of
saving her, if possible, from the affecting
annoyance of being interviewed by news
papers on the subject in which he eX-
pressed her views and the views
of the family in regard to this
matter In that letter Colonel Grant
said, in substance, that such removal
rested with Congress, and not with General
Grants family. If the people. by an act of
Congress, choose to remove General Grants
remains to or near Washington, Mrs.
Grant will refuse her consent only in case
no provision be made for her family resting
by his side. This condition she wishes to
emphasize. She will be glad to see mont
ment begun. at least, which will mark the
last resting place of her husband"

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL.

SAN MATEo, Aug. IA most Distress
ing accident happened at Crystal Springs
Lake this afternoon. Two young ladies
and two men were drowned within sight of
large number of people, and so suddenly
did they disappear that it was impossible
to render assistance in time.
The names of the parties drowned are:
MISS LIZZIE CARL,
MISS NELLIE MCNAMARA,
S. P. QUINNE, and
ALBERT P. LAWRENCE.
Miss Carl belongs to this city and Albert
Lawrence was Superintendent of the resort
at the lake.
The four unfortunates named made up
boating party and went for sail on the
lake. As they showed away from the shore
the wind was blowing hard. rendering
necessary the greatest precautions in the
management of the craft.
On the banks were fifty or sixty people,
some of whom watched with envious in
terest the beginning Of what promised to
be a delightful excursion.

went flying over the water at great speed.
1t had been under way but few moments,
and was close to the dam, when it suddenly
upset.
The occupants were thrown into the
water, and, as is usual under the circum-
stances, they fastened their grasp upon
each other with the tenacity of despair. and
together they sank to the bottom of the
lake.
The disaster occurred so quickly that the
people who were looking on were too sur
prised to act promptly, but no matter what
efforts could have been made to effect a
rescue, the time between the upsetting of
the boat and the sinking of the party was
too short to allow for the launching of an
other boat and reaching the spot.
Mr.. Lawrence was a brother of ". 81.
Lawrence, Superintendent of the Spring
Valley Water Works. He leaves widow
and one child.
1t is believed that the other victims were
unmarried.
The boat was drawn to the shore by some
of the spectators, and the body of Miss
Mcnamara was found caught in the sail.
Life had not wholly departed, and vigorous
measures. such as rolling on barrel, we're
adopted to restore consciousness. All eff
forts proved iruitless, for in a short while
the young woman'S pulse ceased 10 beat.
The bodies of the remaining three occu-
pants of the boat are supposed to have
sunk 20 the bottom of the lake.
The iil-fated craft was small one and
intended to carry but two persons, and
the overlooking it with four occupants is
supposed to have been the main cause of
the sad accident.
S. p. Quinn. one of the drowned party,
was resident of San Mateo and a carpen-
ter by occupation.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 1.-THE most in-
fluential and wealthy citizens of Salvador,
as well as the lower classes, have offered
their services and money to Ezeta to pros
ecute the war against Guatemala.
The people have become SO tired

THE LOTTERY BILL.
A Minority Repor. submitted to the House
BY HAYES of Iowa.

by HAYES of Iowa.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1Z.-Representative
Hayes of iowa yesterday submitted to the
House minority report, dissenting from
the views and recommendations of the
majority of the Committee on Postoffices
and Post-roads on the Anti-Lottery Bill.
Hayes says that the objections 10 the bill
are: First, that it is unconstitutional; {;
second, there is no necessity for any such
legislation from the fact that we already
have sufficient law upon the subject and we
had better enforce that law than make new
legislation; third, that provisions of the
bill are bad and even absolutely dangerous
in that its tendency is toward centraliza-
tion and interference with the proper func-
tiOns and powers of the States. 1t abridges
the freedom of the press, it gives the power
of espionage to public officials as against
citizens, it provides for condemnation with
out hearing and makes the whm, caprice
or opinion of the Postmaster General, good,
bad or Indifferent, as it may be, the final
Judgment upon which the rights of citizens
may depend. 1t makes him in fact judge,
jury and eXecutioner without the preteBse
of hearing or legal evidence and actually
gives this dangerous and vicious power
with all its machinery enforcement to any
other "scheme or device" that upon evil
dence satisfactory to him" may not suit his
exalted ideas Of prOpriety. He is, there
fore, constrained to dissent from the report
of the majority, although fully agreeing
with them in their adherence of the evil.

Resolutions Adopted By the Farmsrs' and Lab
orers' Union Of Missouri
SEDALIA (MO.), Aug, 1.-THE last days
proceedings of the Farmers and Laborers'
Union did not end until 4:30 o'clock this
morning. There was prOtracted fight
over the report of the Committee Oh Reso-
lution5 The resolutions adopted declared
that alien ownership of land shall be fore
ever prohibited; that all money shall be
issued and its volume controlled by The
National Government; demanded the
free and unlimited coinage of silver; that
the national banking system be abolished ;
that option dealing or gambling in agricul-
tuTal and mercantile productions be pro-
hibited by law; that the civil service laws
be enforced in all the departments of
the National and State Governments;
that the Government shall have the
ownership and control of railroad
and telegraph lines; and that the
Australian system of voting be extended
TO all voting precincts in the State. On
the tariff question the resolutions are
strictly in line with the policy of the
Democratic party. The tariff plank is as
founded on the idea that all men
shall enjoy an equal chance in
the race of life, and that no taxes
be collected directly or indirectly from the
people, except what are necessary to carry
on the Government, economically and
honestly administered, and demand such
q revision of the laws as will lay
the heaviest burdens on Injuries and the
lightest on the necessities of life,
aud mat all tariffs be gradually reduced"
The resolutions conclude with this declar-
alton: 1--WE will not support any man for
legislative office OF any political party who
will not pledge himself in writing to use his
influence for the formulation Of these de-
mands into laws"
