SAN Francisco, Jan. 26.-Mizner, ex-min-
lister to Guatemala, who was recalled by
Secretary Blaine because of his attitude III
the Barrundia case, makes public his reply
to the secretary's letter of recall. Miner
regrets the hasty action of the house in call
ing for the papers in the case before the
committee had fully investigated it, as he
could have explained everything satisfac-
torily. He cites Secretary Bayard's action
in the Gomez case, and says that he (Miz-
ner) ruled by that in the Barrundia affair.
Barrundia, az a citizen and politician, WAS an
offender against the laws of Guate-
mala, besides being indicted for many
common crimes. He came voluntarily into
the jurisdiction Of Guatemala on a mer-
chant steamer. The captain of the steamer
asked him (Mizner) for instructions and
he advised the officer to surrender Barrun-
dia if the ship was within one league of the
territory of Guatemala.
Miner says if there is any difference be-
tween the two cases 1t is in favor OF Guate.

a common criminal offender, and sustains

to the captain. The ex-minister stated
that the entire diplomatic corps of Central
America, excepting the representative from
Mexico, endorses his course in the Barrun'
dia affair.

They We're Surprised.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Aldrich
and most of the republican senators were
to-day completely surprised at the action
az the senate in laying aside the cloture
resolution, and taking up the apportlon-
mcnt bill. There was no expectation OF
any important vote, and one republican
senator was absent attending to departments
business when the vote was taken. and 1t
MIN senator Stanford was absent and I'M
haired. The future course of events de-
pends largely upon him, as Aldrich says
that If stanford agrees to support the rule
he will ask the senate to resume its consld-
Grafton Immediately.

ever, he has not achieved much success.
The visitors from Washington who partici-
pRted In tho swell amateur opera peri, rm-
ance, among whom was young Blaine. were
courteously invited to the Tuesday german.
Blaine went and his conduct was such as
to disgrace everyone connected with MN.
He was Intoxicated when no appeared in

middle Of the room, sat dow upon the
floor and removed one of his shoes. he
rubbed his foot and then arising tapped
one of the young lady dancers on the shout

difference. He has no business on this floor
in this condition. If you are a friend OF

The Washington man took the hint, and
led young Blaine out of the room. But
Blaine would not remain out. He returned
and wns again led away. A third time he
made his appearance, when the entire floor
committee of the german took the matter
in hand md hustled him from the build
ing with the warning that if he ~reappeared
the police would be recalled.
Blaine had sense enough not to return.
Before leaving, however, he took the names
of the gentlemen who 10 summarily evicted
him, assuring them that when he got back
to Washington he would remember them.
The Baltimoreans are fully able to hold
their own against Mr.. Blaine or any Of his
friends.

W~AsrrNaroN, Jan. 2V.-Th6 supreme court
announced a decision reversing the judg-

Central Pacific railroad $19S,62l in its suit

upon which the case turned was whether or
NOT, under the Thurman act, in computing
the net earnings OF the company. there
should frst be taken out expenses incurred,
not for running tho road and for repairs,
but for betterments and improvements
whereby the permanent value Of the road
WINS increased. This court holds tnat these
cxnensns cannot, under the terms of the
Thurman act, be AXE ont in computing
the net earnings, and says the language OF
the act seems to preclude any chatges for
improvements being taken out OF the gross
receipts before deciding the amount the

accordingly, since they had no niche in
which to hang itup, learned men decided
TO compromise by giving 1t the longest
name thoy could find-oheiromys. MAZDA
gascariensis. That was how they took
revenge on the poor little fellow.
But the natives Of Madagascar had an-
other and better name for tho non
dcscript creature. They named II from
Its cry or song. Whenever the chef

A bulletin Of tho New York expert
mental station announces some surpris-
ing results In storing potatoes grown In
various localities north and south. Quite
unexpectedly to the cxpcrimcnters, south
cn grown potatoes did not sprout 20
quickly as those grown In Maine. Yet.
on trial, Il was found that the northern
seed. though exhausted by sprouiing.
produced tho best crops, though even
hero there was no uniformity in the 70.
suit. In noticing tho foregoing, Amer-
can Cultiyator says. one very important
consideration seems TO have been over
looked Ia these experiments. Tho com.
paratiyc ripeness Of potatoes has much
10 do with their tendency TO sprout early.
A full ripe and dried potato sprouts easily
and quickly. II also contains the most
starch, and oven after one or two sets Of
sprouts have been rubbed oil II may yet
have moro starch 10 nourish tho germ
until II can root than has the wa,cry.
immature potato. 1t Is tho habit Of some
southern potato growers TO grow n crop
very late In tho season. and gather whom
frost kills the vines for seed the follow
ing spring. II may DO some southern
potatoes thus grown that Professor Rob
orts made the basis Of this experiment.
Early planted southern potatoes. espcci.
ally Of early sorts. cannot DO kept until
winter without wasting almost entirely
away with sprouting. But the fact that
there are yearly large exports Of northern
grown potatoes TO the Berinudas for seed
is evidence enough that the northern and
eastern grown seed Is better than any
other.
