rnn CENTRAL AMEE1cAr WAR.


Designed to Bring Pescs.
g. Louis Globe-D Democrat
The war which has begun In Central America
may b said to have been p-ecipitated BY the
very project which was primarily designed 70
avert Ill such disturbancea For several years
past Increment has been under way in that
region looking TO . union Of the I'VE fndepend-
ent nations Of Guatemala, Honduras, San SAL
vador. Costa Rica and Nicaragua A few months
ago the three hrst-named states signed . con-
veution to put this scheme into practical opera
ton, while Costa Rica's congress appeared to
favor the plan, ana Nicaragua's assent was
expected Shortly after Presid. Mt Meneudez. Of
San Salvador, afdxed his signature to the pro-
1ect he was assassinated, aud 1t has been said
that his position in favor OF the union was the
principal cause which led to hts murder. At
all events, Ezeta. who seized upon the govern
ment OF Ban Salvador on the death of Menen-
DEE, has antagonized the movement, and this
hitch in the plan to bring about confederation
Is the chief cause Of the war which has just
broken ont between his country and Guatemala
The union of the five Central American states
was suggested BY every important consideration
OF practical statesmanship. One language and
one religion prevails throughout the whole
region. The people belong to the same race,
possess the same traditions and have the same
interests. A confederation such az was intended
would reduce the expense Of government by
substituting one president and one parliament
for five in each case. would bring the customs
laws of the i've states into uniformity, and
would establish free trade in each for the pro-
ducts OF the others Moreover, it would abolish
the frequent, causeless and wasteful war which
had heretofore been waged between these coun-
tries and would give them dainty and pow
er which, in their separate condition. they
could never attain. For the time being. at least,
the war will defeat the scheme for confedera-
tion. As the trouble Is due to the opposition of
the usurper Ezeta to the project. there is pos
sibility that Honduras, which has also signed
the convention, may come to the aid of Guste-
mala in the conflict But even If the area of
disturbance should not extend. the fact th at
Guatemala has double the population and re-
sources Of San salvador would naturally give
the former the victory ultimately, II the war
should be vigorously pushed by thai nation

Henry George writes from Australia that the
Mayboroueh saw-miils OF that country could
not run were it not for the protective duties on
lumber and woodwork. adding that the lumber
from this section is not only better but cheaper,
and in the big three-masted schooners can be
shipped from hereto Australia for less than is
charged by the Austria Ian coasters between
such ports Is Marlborough and Townsville. But
by means of a protective duty they retain good
part OF the home market against our lumber.
But Mr.. George would have US let Canadian
lumber into this country to compete with ours
free Of duty. The one-sidedness of Mr. George
and his free-trade companions is apparent
They would give to those who take.

The well-known fact that the moon revolves

around the earth il paralleled according TO
Prof schiarelli, by Mercury. which revolves on
its own axis in 2247 days, the exact time in
which il revoives around the sun On such
high authority as that of the famous Italian as

without doubt, but it raises some interesting
questions. The elliptical orbit OF the planet
would seem to require that at its nearest APP
proach to the sun its momentum would be ac-
celebrated, and If IL does not revolve with in
dividual regularity as the earth does, the effect
upon tns plsnet itself must be very extraor-
binary. The celestial appearance from

in perpetual night, and a. 1t is generally as
sumed that the twin sister of the earth revolves
on its axis always at right angles to the plane of
its orbit-to use popular defnition--its equator
must always be at an intense heat, and its poles
at an extreme cold. These theories require con-
siderable modification of the notion that the
conditions Of life on these planets are similar
to those on the terrestrial globe.

The M'CALLA INQUIRY.

Seamen Tell of How They Were Placed in
Iro1 and Uron " Lat tharges.
NEW YORK, March l5.-The McCaIla
cOurt Of inquiry resumed its session to-
day at the Brooklyn navy yard.
NJ. r. Graham, seaman on the Enter
prise, was the first witness. He told
how he had been confined IN irons for
five days on a charge Of deserving his
post. At the expiration of that time
Commander McCalla sent for him and
released him, stating that It had been
done under a misapprehensioI. It APP
pears permission had been given witness
TO leave his post by Mr.. Kline. officer i'll
charge of the deck. Kline was pres
ent when McCalla ordered witness
in irons, but did hot Interfere.
The witness did not consider his trent
ment at the hands of McCalla to be JUS
tice. AS TO the men concerned in the
Cronstadt episode, he thought their be-
ing marched up and down the quarter
deck just punishment.
John Glynn, n marine orderly, told to-
day of how he was in irons for ten days
by order of McCalla for going below when
ne was on post. He had no fault to find
with the treatment.
Louis Mayors, seaman, told story
of how, when the ship was off the African
coast, he refused to pass coal from one
of The bunkers which had become ig-
nited. The next morning he was ordered
to the masthead. McCalla approached
witness and accused him of smiling at
him. He replied he was not, aud the
captain told him he lied. Then, sending
for his sword, and holding it In front of
witness, McCalla said he had good mind
to kill him and make an example of him
for the ships company.
This concluded the case for the day
and adjournment was taken until Mon
day.

"ALL ON ACCOUNT OF ELIZA"

Changes in the Map Of Eurape Due TO an Amer
ican Girl of That Name.
In the second chapter of his "Sharps
and Flats, !" now running as serial In
the American Musician, Max Marezek
lets in CLEAN of light on the beginning
of the stage career of that remarkable
Eliza Henzler. who became the wife of
the king of Portugal.
1t was during the season of 1886
that William II. Paine first was the re-
sponsible manager of the New York
Academy or Music. Like all new tledged
managers, Mr.. Paine had sincere de-
sire TO encourage native talent (espec-
tally in the shape of good looking young
ladies) and in order to rejuvenate the
chorus advertised for singers. Among
those who responded was q young !,
poorly clad girl, who asked to have her
voice tried. She sang sweetly and dis
played q good soprano voice and good
taste. She could not be called hand
some, but with her well shaped fgur q
and large brown eyes she made q favor
able impression on Nj. Paine. He en-
gagged her, made her study Adelgisa in
Norma, and Bertha in 50 Prophetic, -
in both of which parts she afterward sue
cessfully appeared. Her father was q
poor tailor In Boston. and before long

this young girl made the most remarka-
bic career of any woman that ever en-
tered the theatrical profession.
After one season in New York her
manager sent her to Paris to continue
her studies aud recommended her to his
agent, Carini, who, in course Of time,
procured for her an engagement at the
opera in Lisbon.
Dom Fernando, the consort of Que en-
Marin della Gloria of Portugal, took her
under his protection. Soon after the
death of his queen he created our Boston
girl Countess of Edla, and, after paying
due respect to the queen 5 memory, mar
ried the countess, otherwise Eliza HEINZ
Ter.
Her husband being originally n prince
OF the house of COburg, the Boston tai
lOr's daughter became sister-in-law to
Queen Victoria, aunt of the prince of
Wales and the present king of the Bel
gians, and mother-in-law Of the reign
ing king of Portugal.
When Queen Isabella OF Spain was
sent into exile Bismarck tried to put a
Hohenzollern on the Spanish throne.
Louis Napoleon opposed it, with an eye
to Bonaparte for the position. At the
same time strong coalition OF the gran
dees of Spain favored placing Dom Fer
nandO of Portugal on their country 8
throne, with all the chances in his favor. .
But while the grandees were content to
have Dom Fernando, their wives de-
clared that they would never appear at
court should the plebian BostOnese be
permitted TO do the royal hOnors. A
compromise was proposed in secret eau
cus-viZ. to obtain from Plus TX. q di-
vorce-but Dom Fernando, rather than
renounce Eliza Henzler, put away the
Spanish crown.
Thus, the indirect consequences of this
heroic royal attachment were tie Franco
PruSsian war, the downfall OF Napoleon
H., and the still uncertain future of
Spain. Without Eliza Henzler, whom
we first saw as an i'll clad applicant for
place i'll Paine's chorus, the Boneparte
dynasty might still be reigning In France,
and Bismarck might not have become
the arbiter of Europe. What momen-
tOus results!
land all on account OF Eliza!"
