THE SILENT WIRES,
Official Dispatches to Minister Miner in
Guatemala Not Yet Discovered.

United States Minister Ryan at the city OF
Mexico is still in the dark, according to q New
York Herod dispatch, regarding the affairs Of
Central America from an official standpoint, AS
he has had no communication with Minister
Miner, resident in Guatemala. 1t is said Min
lister Ryan will at ouce try to discover where
the trouble lies. For the last two days the
Guatemalan legation at Mexico has received no
kilograms from the state department Of Guate-
mala, and Minister Dieguez thinks the wire is
down between Antonio and the capital. As both
points are in Guatemala he could not explain
why the wire had not been repaired and ap-
peared surprised when told that the United
States government had received no dispatches
from Minister Miner Minister DiegueZ can
offer no explanation for the detention Of the
kilograms that had evidently been sent by the
federal lines.
Those who are familiar with the situation In
mexico say that the United States government
snouio AZ once send agents from the legation
AT the CITY OF Mexico to Guatemala via Aca-
pulco. This would be a quick trip. consuming
only nine days. As matters now stand there is
Sppalent chicanery going Oh with the United
states omeiai correspondence, as there are
many things that Guatemala desires to keep in
tne uark. United States agents. once III

United States men-of-w war direct communica-

cai dispatches by water from San Jose, Guate-
mala. to Acajutla, in Salvador, thence by the
federal wire along the coast to Libertad, and
by cable to Washington.
~, Dispatches received from Guatemala state
that there Is no revolution there and that Presi-
dent Barllos is firm in the belief that the diff
Guilty with San Salvador is soon to be settled
satisfactorily to Guatemalan interests.
President DiaZ reiterates his denial of the re.

HOW THE DEATH LIST WAS MADE
The Plan of Ascertaining the Number
Killed at JOhnstOwn

Secretary j. b. Kremer of the Pennsylvania
state relief commission told Yesterday how the
number of the dead ut Johnstown was COIN
puted. dispute between him and the Johns
town newspapers regarding the number
prompted an interview, during which Mr.. Kre-
ner said:
Two thousand one hundred and forty-two
was given, not as the correct number. but the
number reached after the fullest and most
careful investigation. Almost Immediately
after the flood and long before had any con-
nection with the work in Johnstown a commit
tee had been appointed to get this inform- ton
and its work continued for some two months
The amount OF work done by this comm ,tee
was very large and the data collected were
placed on file. registration was had of all
the citizens In the valley and in DOING this in
formation was gained as to those lost.
BY private enterprise directory was pub
lishcd, III obtaining the data for which much
was learned of the drowned, aud list thus
prepared was published. The Tribune and the
Democrat published lists made up from the best
information which could be obtained by them
and letters received from all parts of the world
we're the means OF receiving knowledge of
many who in no other way could have been
reached.
Official information was received from pas
tors i'll some cases and from those in authority
In others as to the persons buried III various
cemeteries. Much of interest was learned in
removing the bodies to the burial ground pur-
chased by the commission from the temporary
cemeteries in which they had been placed. and
the records of the several morgues, in the main
carefully kept, had been placed in the hands of
the commission.
The data being at hand, in the late fall a
young man of intelligence who had been in
the employ of the local committee in Johns
town from the first and who was recommended
as one whose knowledge of the previous work
would greatly assist HIM, employed to sift
| SO he was required to compare his lists with the
| six thousand two hundred and more sworn
statements which had been made to the COM
mission which were supposed to give correctly
| list OF those in the families who had been lost
and by correspondence cleai up any doubtful
points that might arise"

SIMPLY A FOOLISH BOY.
The Ethics Applied by an English Judge
to Lady DunlO's Case.

The London correspondent Of tho New York
Tribune says: The Dunlo case creates that ex-
traordinary interest which attends almost every
case in this country in which a peer and a
woman are concerned The peer is not. OF
course, Lord Dunlo. He is not peer. But
his father, the Earl of Clancarty, is. though
only an Irish peer. Lord Dunlo is simply n
foolish boy who married pretty music hall
singer known as Belle BiltoR. Lord Clancarty
thereupon sent his son around the world with
the expectation that meanwhile the wife would
misbehave herself, and so, on his eturn. enable
Lord Dunlo to divorce her. This pretty scheme

THE CARDINAL AT BAR HARBOR.
Attentions Shown the Distinguished
Prelate at the Maine Resort.

A Bar Harbor dispatch to the New York
Times yesterday says: Cardinal Gibbons Of
Baltimore. accompanied by Archbishop Ken
| dyick of St Louis aud Archbishop Ryan Of
Philadelphia. arrived here about ! pm. today
| on the Mount Desert from Rockland. The
party was met at the pier by Mr.. and Mrs.
| Nathan Matthews, DIR. Heating and Father
Butler of ST. Sylzia's Church. The news Of
| the cardinals coming was not known here until
this morning. and numbers of people watched
| for them, but only the very few who looked for
the red cap under the cardinals hat and the
red scarf at bis breast underneath his coat had
any idea who the visitors were when they ar
rived, and the result was that curious people
| were looking for them for many hours after
| their actual arrival.
The Matthews carriage bore the cardinal at
once to Clefstone cottage. DR.. Heating took
Archbishop Ryan to the Heating cottage on
Mount Desert, while Archbishop kendrick,
his niece Miss Eustace of st. Louis, who ac-
| comPanied him. and Father Butler drove to
Parker cottage. next to the Belmont Hotel
where the archbishop and his niece had taken
apartments and will board at the Belmont.
No sooner had the three noted prelates ar
rived than invitations began to pour III. The
gentlemen of the Mount Desert Reading Room,
the club house by the shore, and the president
and directors of Kebo Valley Club House at
once rendered them the freedom of those in
situations during their stay. Mr.. Charles X.
DOrr Of Boston sent them invitations to dine
tomorrow evening at his cottage. 'Old Farms"
TO meet cx-GOv. Endicott of Massachusetts,,
who had arrived "a few hours before. Monday
night they are invited TO the club house.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Matthews gives a large
dinner in their house. Wednesday night Mrs
and Miss Pendleton of Philadelphia, mother
and sister of Edmund Pendeton, give another
dinner at kebo Valley Club House in their
honor, and Thursday evening Dir Keatinp in
vltes a number of friends to meet them
Much regret is expressed that Secretary
Blaine is not here to meet the cardinal on his
first arrival, but he is not expected to return
until after his meeting with the President at
the celebrations In Boston. The cardinal is
said to be Ill delicate health and looks it. He has
spent most of the afternoon driving out with
his hostess, Mrs. Matthews

A Loss to Journalism.

Gen. Boynton, himself one of the manifest
and most honorable of journalists, writes to the
Cincinnati Gdzette Of the loss to the profession
involved in the withdrawal of Mr.. Chas. Nord-
hoff from active work as follows:
WASHINGTON. July 31.-The retirement of
Mr.. Chas. Nordhoff from Washington Journal
ism is u matter of keen and universal regret in
the wide circle where he has long moved and
been constantly influential. The facts did not
become public here until today They reflect
great credit upon Mr. Bennett, and are a grace
fui and hitting tribute to Mr.. Nordhoff's long
and faithful service. He found il necessary
| mainly on account of the health OF his wife. to
go to the mild climate OF southern California
Mr.. Bennett. hearing Of this, Immediately gave
MIR. Nordhoff a long leave with full pay. and
placed his name on the salary list of the Herald
| at half pay for the rest of his life He is to go
and come at will, to work or not. as suits him
best, but is always to remain q member of the
| Herald staff.
This appreciation Of Mr.. Nordhoff by the
owner and manager OF the Herald, after the
| long years Ill which the home management OF
| that great paper has been SO largely trusted to
Mr.. Nordhoff, says much more for HIM thar
| even friendly hand can write. During Mr.
| Benefits residence in Europe, contrary to the
belief OF many, he has given daily attention to hi
| newspaper. He has the New York Office on a
| wire wherever he goes. Mr.. Nordhoff has beer
| his confidential manager here and with him he
has been IN constant communication
After this intimate association in a position
| of such delicacy and difficulty the evidence tha
Mr.. Bennett gives Of its worth to him and of the
eminently satisfactory way in which the duty
has been performed is best made known in the
act already mentioned.
In the broadcast sense he has been q man ant
his work has been manly work. He will be
| sorely missed by his friends. They are glat
| for him, but cannot refrain from considering
| their own loss. But his retirement rises above
| all personal considerations and becomes los
which it will be hard to supply in that corps o.
writer's who serve the public fearlessly and
mete out praise aud censure with honest heart
and impartial hands.
