MINISTER MINER
ARRIVES At SAN FRANCISCO AND SPEAKS
his LITTLE PIECE
In Regard to tie Circumstances Surrounding the
Death Of General Barruldia-Hs Claims That Hs
Acted iu Perfect Conformity With hs
Laws Of Nations and Diplomacy.

SAN FRANoISco, CAL, January a5.-
Ex-Minister to Guatemala, l.. Il. Miner,
arrived in this city from Mazatlan yes
terday on the Pacific mail steamer San
Jose. lie had written out full ac-
count Of the facts surrounding the
death OF GeReral Barrundia, but as yet
he was not certain that it would not be
breach OF diplomatic ethics 10 make it
public until he had seen the authorities
in Washington. He said he thought
MIR. Blaine was not the author Of the
letter received by him from the State
Department, censuring his conduct in
the matter, but that it had been written
by subaltern and signed by the Secre-
tary Of State without careful perusal.
Prior to the death of Gen. Barrundia
Minister Miner had procured his safe
conduct out of Guatemala. ''It is i'm
possible for me TO think of giving all my
personal attention to the Barrundia
matter" said the ex-Minister, ''as the
interests of the United States and the
peace OF five Republics seemed to de-
mand all my time and attention just at
this moment. On August 20 the basis
OF peace was finally agreed upon, and
could see that my labors were about to
be rewarded. The day before that Gen.
eral Barrundia entered Guatemala on
the Acapulco.
In finally advising Captain Pitts TO
surrender the rebel, believe acted in
strict accord with all the precedents and
with international law"
Mr.. Miner described Barrundia as
international criminal who was
wanted for other crimes than those of
political nature. The reports that Miz-
ner's life was in danger after the kill
ing OF the rebel general were character
lied as utter falsehOods. lie said last !
night that he had never gone armed. |
He had no escort and had |
never asked for one. He says he |
hopes to explain his course in the mat
Ter to the satisfaction OF all, and to his |
)wH vindicaton. lie will remain in
his city for the present and then pro-
.eed TO Washington To state his case TO
.he Secretary. NJ. Miner is not over
that the treaty between the
i've republics will last long. Both
and Salvador are now buying
lrms and ammunition in Europe and in
,ther ways preparing for war, that he
kinks will not be long DELAYED.

rats with his dog at the city dump, near

"that il would show the highest polltl-

"a conflict with Cleveland. They are

CHAINED YOGETHEN TO DIE.
CHASTITY Discovery of an Exploring Party
In New Mexico.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January 25.-A
story which has all the elements OF "A
romance is brought from New Mexico
by Mr. l.. 5. Gordon. who has been
experimenting the construction of Il
telegraph line in that territory. The
party went through country where
the inhabitants were few and far be-
tween, and most of the houses were old
ruins which had long been deserted. 1t
was their custom To make the ruins
their temporary headquarters, and it
was this custom which led to the dis
covery which is told by Mr.. Gordon.
On the banks of the stream which ran
from number of springs called by the
Mexicans Las OjoS del Morte, or the
Springs of Death, stands ruined house,
which shows that 1t was once an impOs-
ing building. Here the headquarters
were established for some weeks and
one Sunday while the men were on
duty, two OF the number began an oX-
ploration Of the ruins. They found that
there was portion OF the
house which was not accessible.
They made a careful search and found
what was at one time door, but
which had evidently been walled up.
They forced an entrance, and on the
floor of this hidden room lay two skele-
tons fastened together with an iron
chain. at the ends OF which were bands
Of iron riyeted to their wrists. The
bones were those of man and woman
and the unfortunates had evidently
been left to die together lingering
death.
The men wondered at the matter, but
it was not until after they had left the
place that the story was learned. An
old Mexican, to whom they related their
discovery, said that it explained the dis
appearance OF the wife OF the owner OF
the place, who was supposed to have
elopcd with a young American para
mour. The actions of the couple had
been such as TO cause talk all through
the country, and it was evident that the
husband had taken vengeance on the

Law Repeating the Licenses of Certain
Companies Held to be Unconstitutional.
LOUISVILLE. January 25.-Judge w.
II. jackson. Of the Circuit Court, has
decided the lottery cases before him in
favor OF the lotteries. John Ii. ManSier
was indicted for selling Frankfort lot
terry tickets and again for selling Henry
Academy tickets. There was no dis
pute as 20 the facts. Judge Jackson
holds the act of May %, 1890, repeating
the lottery licenses, is void, and the
tender of the required tax OF $1,000 for
each OF the lotteries at the required
time was in effect obtaining license,
although State Auditor Norman refused
to issue the license till the Courts
passed upon the case. He says:
The renewals issued on January .,
1890, by the Auditor are, on their face,
licenses, aud not mere applications for
licenses, aS is so StrenuOusly cOntended
for by the Commonwealth attorney.
This license having been granted on
January %, 1890, is not impaired by the
act Of May s3, 1890. That act, if valid,
is not retroS pcctive In its effect on the
Frankfort Lottery of Kentucky, nor
the Henry Academy aud Henry Female
College Lottery. This act is clearly void.
No decision, English OF American, can
be- found that permits discrimination
between the members OF u class. This
Court iudicially knows, from reports OF
opinions Of the Court OF Appeals, that
there are other lotteries embraced IN the
class designated ia section %. The
Legislature may select class and legiS-
late in regard 10 the class, but having
selected the class ito can not discriminate
between those who compose II.

unlawful for the County Court to liz
cense the Calf House or the Louisville
Hotel Every partial or private law

OMAHA, NEB., January 2j.-An inn
portant decision concerning clerks fees
in the Circuit Courts OF the United
States has been rendered by Judge
Caldwell There was conflict OF
opinion as to the right OF the clerks to
charge fees to citizens who desire to in
spect the indexes and cross indexes OF
the Judgment records Of the federal
courts, for the purpose of setting the
practice in the Eighth federal circuit, a
motion was filed by Judge Macomber on
behalf Of his client, j. NJ. Chambers,
and about twenty-five others, asking
Judge Caldwell to instruct the clerk as
to the right of the public to make in
spection of the indexes and records OF
the judgments of said court. Judge
Caldwell, in his decision, holds that the
clerk is only entitled to fees when he
makes the search at the request OF a
citizen, and that he has no right to deny
to the citizens the privilege Of examin-
ing the records freely and without
charge.
