THE BARRUNDIA INCIDENT.
Ex-Minister Miner Discusses 1t
at atLength.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-EX-Minis-
ter to Guatemala l.. B. Miner arrived
in this city from Mazatlan yesterday on
the Pacific Mail steamer San Jose. He
had, he stated, written out full ac-
counts of the facts about the death of
Barrundia, but as yet he was not GER
tain that it would not be breach of
diplomatic ethics to make it public un-
til he had seen the authorities in Wash
ington. He said he thought Mr.. Blaine
was not the author of the letter he re-
ceived from the state department CEN
surfing his conduct in the matter,
but that it had been written
by subaltern, and signed by the sec
retary of state without careful perusal.
Prior to the death of Gen. Barrundia,
Minister Miner had procured his safe
conduct out of Guatemala. "It was i'm
possible for me to think of giving all my
personal attention to the Barrundia mat
ter said the ex-minister, ''aS the in
terests of the United States and the
peace of five republics seemed to de-
mand all my time and attention just at
this moment. On Aug. 26 the basis of
peace was finally agreed upon, and l
could see that my labors were about to
be rewarded. The day before that Gen.
Barrundia entered Guatemala on the
Acapulco. In finally advising Capt.
Pitts to surrender the rebel, believe l
acted in strict accord with all the
precedents and with international law"
Mr.. Miner described Barrunda as a
common criminal, who was wanted for
other crimes than those of political
nature. The reports that MINERS life
was In danger after the killing of the
rebel general were characterized as
utter falsehoods. He said last night
that ne had never gone armed. He had
no escort, and had never asked for one.
He says he hopes to explain his course
in the matter to the satisfaction of all
and to his own vindication. He will re-
main in this city for tine present, and
then proceed to Washington to state his
case to the secretary. Mr.. Miner is not
over-sanguine that the treaty between
the five republics will last long. Both
Guatemala and Salvador are now buying
arms and ammunition in Europe, and in
other ways preparing for war that he
thinks will not be long delayed.

the switch engine did not appear for
about twenty minutes, and before 1t

CINCHED BY CHICAGOANs.
A Mexican Engineer Who Is Out
$1,000.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-A morning paper
says: Another gigantic scheme in
which G. B. Holmes was the prime
mover is shaking. A year and half
ago Carlos Zaremba came here from the
City of Mexico, and in company with
Mr.. Holmes organized the American q
Mexican Investment company under
the laws of the state, with capital
stock of s3,5OO,OOO. The following di-
rectors were selected: P. Williams,
w. B. Williams, c. B. Holmes. Matt
Pinkerton, G. G. Miller and William
Armstrong. w. p. Williams was elect
ed president; c. B. Holmes, vice pres
ident and w. B. Williams, secretary and
treasurer. The company then pro-
ceeded to issue. $4,000 shares of stock at
500 share. Just how much OF this
stock was taken by Chicago capitalists,
Engineer j. &. Parks, of GuanaJato,
Mexico, is anxious to learn. Mr.. Parks
is now in the city, and the object of his
visit is to collect claim of SLIPS
against the company. This, he says, is
due him for salary as engineer of Qua
najato zone, or mining district, and for
money which he paid from his own
purse as wages to the fourteen men en-
pIoyed by him. Carlos Zaremba bought
five mineral zones from the Mexican
government, giving $1,000 Oh each as Sc
curity. Each one covers a territory of
400 square miles. They are designated
by the names of Guanajato, Ia
catecas, San Luis PotOsi, San Fill
ipe and Victoria. Tney are all
located within 200 miles Of the City of
Mexico. The conditions under which
the concessions were made by the Mexi-
can government were that S250,000
should be expended on each zone
within five years, and that certain
number of men should be employed.
This gave the American & Mexican In
vestment company the first right to ex-
plore the section of country aud selecl
thirty claims free. The company was
supposed to raise the money in Chicago,
but Mr.. Parks says he has seen none of
it. He called upon Mr.. Holmes, but
that gentlemen denied having been con-
nected with the company i'll anv way.
His next recourse was to bring suit
against the company, and he has al
ready taken steps in that direction. Mr.
Parks says if the Mexican government
becomes aware of the fact that the men
are not paid. the concessions granted to
the company will be revoked.

At an early hour this morn.
ing a telegraph wire broke in
front of 1l5 Chambers street and fell
across an electric light wire and re-
celyed its current. The wire fell on the
horses OF an Eighth avenue car, and the
deadly current killed one of them in
Stantly. Two or three fires were caused
by the broken electric light wires, but
were extinguiShed with trifling damage.
The whole story of destruction will not
be known until tomorrow, although
1T is believed that providentially
no human lives have been lost. The
local signal service is tonight ignorant
of the weather conditions out OF New
York because of the wreckage of the
wires. The highest velocity of the wind
to-day was thirty-tiye miles at 4 a. m.
The storm opened in the Gulf of Mexico
Friday. 1t increased in severity until
IL reached Cape HatteraS. The vista
tlOn reached New York city at 1O:45
with rain which changed to snow at
IL: 40 p. IN. The binding snow eontin-
ued to 10 a. m. to-day, and nine inches
fell. 1t is thought that
The Young Blizzard
did not extend more than 100 miles inc
land. The Western Union is badly
crippled by the storm, all wires being
down but three, those being in the west
ern circuit. connecting Albany, Roches-
ter, Buffalo and Chicago The work OF
repair will take several days and the
company will suffer more tomorrow,

Long Island is dead to the outer world.
Mayor Grant has directed that the police
throughout the city see to it that
the electric current be not
turned on the various wires
until the board of electrical
control should certify that the wires are
safe. The dangerous condition because
of the wreckage was the cause of the
order. The storm of wind being off
shore no damage to shipping is reported
The police and fire forces are ordered
to cooperate to suppress fire and crime
The storm extended over the entire re-
gion from Boston throughout the lower
Eastern states, Southern New York,
New Jersey, Delaware and the
south of Maryland. At o'clock
this morning there were-but few wires
running from the Western Union Office,
and at o'clock nearly every wire was
rendered useless. At one time cOmmu-
nication to Philadelphia, Albany and
Boston was entirely cut off. The wires
to Albany were the first to resume
working, which was at O'Clock. Dur
ing the day telegraphic matter was sent
by train from here to points in New

A CRISIS APPROACHING.
The Republicans Have Scheme
tO Shut Off Senate Debate.

to Shut Off Senate Debate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The legisla-
tive day began in the senate last
Wednesday, the 21st, has not yet closed.
as no adjournment has taken place,
the intermissions of rest being in
the shape of recess. A recess was taken
last evening until tomorrow at II
O'Clock, when Senator Morgan will re-
sumo his speech against the closure
rule. The Republicans have plan by
which they intend to shut off debate on
this question either Tuesday or Wednes-
day. What the plan is Senator Aldrieh
will not disclose, as he does not intend
letting the Democrats into his secrets.
1t is asserted that Vice President Nor
ton has braced up and is willing to
adopt any arbitrary method suggested
by which the interminable talk of the
Democrats can be stopped. So far Mr.
Aldrlch has had a majority with him
and he expects to have it on the final
vote on the rule. There is little cred
ence placed in the story that Senator
ingalls, has entered into a compact with
Senator German, whereby the latter
will insure sIngalls' reelection through
Democratic vOtes-On the agreement that
ingalls, will kill the clOture rule and the
elections bill. A story to that effect ap-
pears in one of the New York papers
this moruing. Senator ingalls, pro-
nounced aversion to Democrats, it is
agreed, would forever prevent him from
making any such reasonable agree

THE DEVEREAUx BLAMELEss,
But The Folsom Is Liable for Big
Damages.

Damages.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 25.--Judge
Kicks, of the United States district
court, gave judgment in favor of libel
lants in the case of the collision be-
tween the steamers j. H. Devereaux
and Alexander Folsom in st. Mary's
river, in August. The Devereaux was
held blameless. The decision was
based upon the testimony of Captains
Kelly and Mallory, summoned as ex-
perts. 1t admits such thing as
suction, in the channel described,
caused by two steamers passing each
other, and asserts that the violent
sheer of the DevereauX was due
to this suction. This suction
under such circumstances, the Judge
holds, is SO well known to navigators
that the master of the schooner Mitch
ell. in tow of the Folsom should have
anticipated and guarded against the
danger of collision from that cause. He
also expresses the opinion that with
the wind blowing from the quarter
stated, it was gross negligence on the
part Of the master of the Folsom to have
tUWed his cOnSOrtS through the chan
mel Of Lake George in st. Mary'S river
with sails set and drawing, and that
the speed of the Folsom and tow was
too great, increasing the suction. The
DevereauX was managed with skill and
prudence, and is eXculpated. II. F.
Carleton is named as commissioner to
report the amount of damage to the
DevereauX. The amount claimed Is

COKE REGION STRIKE.
One Will Be Inaugurated in a Few
Days.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 25.-Prepara-
tions are being made by the knights Of
Labor of the Connellsville coke region
and their employers, the coke operators,
for prolonged and desperate wage
struggle. From present indications
neither side will concede sufficient to
make an amicable settlement possible.
The annual convention of the men
closed at Scottdale last night with a dis
cussion of the wage question, and it
was decided to notify the operators that
they must meet them by Feb. 2 to con-
fer, otherwise strike involving
the uentire region would be de-
clared on the 10th of February.
The operators continue to declare that
the demands of the men are ridiculous.
They claim the workers should accept
a decrease instead of asking for an in
crease in wages. The heavy consumers
of coke are plainly expecting strike,
and are accnmulating coke in Quanti-
ties away ahead of the necessities of
immediate consumption. A strike in
the coke regions will Involve 1900
men.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 25.-Considerable
speculation hiss been INDUCED in to-day
regarding new turn in the senatorial
situation. The fuslonists are strongly
talking of fixing on either J.W. Harden
Or Speaker Seward as their choice. and
let the ballot determine the strongest
tomorrow without a caucus. 1t is said
nearly if not all the Democratic and
Independent members have agreed
to vote for the one of these who
shows up the greatest vote on joint
ballot. Harden is of De mocratic pedi-
gree, while Seward has always figured
in politics as free lance. Moody takes
his evident defeat, caused by the un-
seating of the Lawrence county mem
bers, coolly, and desires to remain the
caucus nominee of the Republicans
until he or some other one is named.
Senator Pettigrew, who has been here
laboring earnestly in Moody's behalf. is
said to feel worse over the situation
than Moody. There is still strong talk
of the Republican members of the house
seeding and organizing a separate
body, though the more conservative re-
gard this action as revolutionary.
