Want of Funds-A Bad State of Af-
fairs in Guatemala-U -Unpopularity of
President Bogran, of Honduras.

GREYTowN, Nicaragua, Sept. 1.-The
force of men employed on the Nicara-
qua canal has been somewhat reduced,
but satisfactory progress is made in the
work of construction. The pier at this
port has been extended to the length of
1880 feet, and the dredging of the chan
mel continues. Great progress is also
made in the construction OF telegraph
and railroad lines and buildings. The
excavation has been carried to the depth
the right of way is cleared for fully ten
miles.
CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. Letters
from Guatemala state that the election
excitement there is very intense, and it
is feared no election can take place. In
such case President Barrillas will hold
over, and he may try to declare himself
dictator, which will not only cause COM
plications in Guatemala, but 10 all Cen
tral America.
In Nicaragua there are fears that the
canal will not be built, as it is known,
or believed, that the company has not
the funds necessary to carry on the
project.
In Honduras feeling against President
Bogran is daily gaining, and efforts are
being made to GUST his partisans from
the government offices. III this cannot
be accomplished by electoral power, it
is said it will be done by for ce after the
elections are held.

More Disasters by storms IN England
and Ireland.
LONDON, Sept. Violent gales and
rain storms continue to sweep over
Great Britain and Ireland. Dispatches
from Dublin state that crops throughout
the province of Ulster are in pitiable
condition, and that in many parts of
Ulster and elsewhere they are almost
entirely submerged. In other sections
crops are completely destroyed.
OFF Ilfracombe, near BarnsSable, Dew
onshire, today, during one of the many
gales which have swept over these
islands recently, passenger steamer,
having one hundred passengers on
board, had narrow escape from de-
struction. A succession of heavy seas
struck her, sweeping the decks, smash
ing in the salon skylights and pouring
tons of water down the companion ways.
So severe was the pounding the steamer
received by the waves that many pas
sengers were severely injured, of which
number six are in precarious condi-
tion.
In the Mersey fishing smack foun-
dered and all hands were lost.
On the south coast of England there
have been several wrecks. Last night

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The amount of
AZ per cent. bonds continued at per
cent. today, was $1S6,90 making the
total to date, $23, ,408, $50. There are
also about $500, 900 more in process of
continuance. The interest on the out
standing AZ per cents will cease tomor-
row, after which date the department
will redeem all that are presented for
that purpose. A circular, how
ever, will be issued tomorrow
extending for an indefinite period
the privilege of the continuing OF these
bonds at 2 per cent. 1t is expected that
the rest of the outstanding continued
bonds, estimated to aggregate $20, ,0O0,-
600, will be presented for redemption
during the next two months. The net
amount of gold in the treasury today to
meet this liability is $132,471, ,403.
Should the entire $40, ,00O,0 be paid in
gold, it would entrench on the 500, ,000.-

Escaped Prisoners Recaptured

SAN Francisco, Sept. 1.-Two United
States prisoners arrived on the Sacra-
mento train this morning en- route to
Alcatraz. They made their escape a
year ago last June. They stole boat
belonging to United States Engineer
Thomas and padded toward the heads.
The steamer Sonoma gave chase, and
seeing that the steamer must soon over
take them, they sprang into the water
and swan for the shore. They climbed
up steep ascent, and though called
upon to surrender, paid no heed to the
shots fired at them. After roaming
about Marin county for quite while
they made their way to Sacramento,
where they we're finally captured.

A MIsCREANr,s REvENGE.
CrOton OIL Put in Ice Cream, of Which
Eleven Persons PartOok.

VIsALlA, CAL, Sept. IAN attempt at
wholesale poisoning was made at a
boarding house here Sunday. Mrs.
Feillermit, the landlady, made some
ice cream. Before freezing it she let it
sit near the pump to cool. Eleven per-
sons ate of it at dinner, and were inn
mediately seized with cramps in the
stomach and burning sensations. Med
ical aid was summoned, and all are out
of danger. An investigation showed
that large quantity of croton oil had
been poured into the mixture before it
was frozen. 1t is thought a man who
was expelled from the house for drunk
enness is the perpetrator, as he went
away making threats. He left town the
same Sunday night, and cannot be
found.

CANYON CRY Col, Sept. Seven men
held up the eastbound Rio Grande train
last nj ght near Contopay. The highway
men compelled the hagman at Texas
creek to give up all the torpedoes in his
possession, and also forced him to flag

gineer and fireman were held up at the
point of rifles. The fireman was relieved
of fine gold watch and then forced to
pick the lock and break in the door of
the baggage car under fire of the
express messenger. The mail car
doors were all broken in, but nothing
was taken from the car. Express
Messenger Argell made determined
resistance and used revolver to good
advantage, but whether any one was
killed is not definitely known. The
fight was fierce one, though it lasted
only few minutes. The masked men,
then under threats of killing him, COM

in regard to Union Pacific affairs are de-

ridiculous by Director Orr.
Another Union Pacific director says:
ST have not heard that Gould, Sage or
Dillon have sold any of the Pacific hold
ings. They are all heavy subscribers to
the debt certificates, and it would be
hardly likely for them to sell at this
