GEN. EZETA'S PROJECT.
He Is Planning Union Between
Mexico and All the Central
American States.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 24.-Gen.
Antonio Ezeta and his attorneys, MesSrs.
Rubens and De Quesada, have left sur
reptitiously for Mexico. The consolidation
of all Central America with Mexico is
being considered. Ezetas intention is to
raise an army there and proceed at once
to GUST his enemies. Whether his plan is
to regain possession of Salvador or only to
effect a union of some sort of which he
has long dreamed, is not known, but there
is little doubt that it is one or the other.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-If Gen.
Ezeta's object in coming to Washington
is, as is reported, to intervene in behalf
of Col. Cienfuegos, who was held by
Judge Morrow for eXtradition on a charge
of murder, his visit is likely to prove
frutless. While the secretary of state
iS not absolutely bound to grant eXtradi-
ton papers by the action of a United
States commissioner or court, he has
power to revise their findings. but this is
rarely exercised and only in cases where
a very strong case is made out for the ac-
cused or new evidence is presented. The
hearing before Judge Morrow is regarded
as having been very full and fair and it
is extremely improbable that anything
that Gen. Ezeta can adduce will move
the state department to refuse Cienfue-
Cos eXtraditiOn.

Washington, d. c., Sept. "a. = The
members of the United States commits
sion appointed to investigate the recent
railroad strike and the circumstances
with which it was surrounded, and which
held several meetings i'll Chicago, reassem-
bled here today for the purpose of pre-
pairing it's report. The task will occupy
at least two weeks. Since the closing of
the session, each of the commissioners
has gone over the testimony and the
statistics presented in order to be in a
position to commence figuring on cOnclu-
siOnS without unnecessary delay. In an
interview one of the commissioners said
that he had been told by a gentleman of
responsibility that the question with
which the commission had to grapple was
greater than that settled by the civil
war. The present investigation is the
first under the law that authorized the APP
pOinment of commission to investigate
labor troubles and consequently it is
confronted with an unusually difficult
task. 1t is thought, however, that the
forthcoming report will contain important
suggestions that will attract the atten-
ton of both capital and labor and lead
to the more general adoption of pacific
methods for the settlement of disputes
between EMPLOYERS and employees.

INJURIES IRELAND'S CAUSE.
Too Many Scandals and Too Much Talk
INDUCED In.

Dublin, Sept. 24.-Dr. Thomas A. EN-
NETT of New York, in letter published
in the Freeman's Journal in regard to the
dissensions in the Irish party, calls the
attention of Justin Mccarthy, chairman
of the Irish parliamentary party, to the
disastrous consequences to the national
movement in America by the constant
reference to scandal and by the public
discussion of the differences existing in
the Irish party. DR.. Emmett says that
the National Federation of America was
preparing to hold meetings in order to
raise money for the nationalist cause;
but Mr.. Healy's letter about Mr.. Glad
stone and subscription to the parliament
airy fund has imperiled the whole move
ment in America. Continuing, DR.. EN-
NETT recalls the fact that during the past
three years the Irish Federation of Amer
lea has sent Ireland So, 900, and that had
it not been for recurrent wranglings Ire
land could have relied upon an annual
remittance of $4,000. DR.. Emmett then
appeals to Mr.. Mccarthy and his col
leagues and to all the Irish representa-
tives to stop their discussions and to no
longer paralyze the efforts of the warm
est friends of the Irish cause in Amer
ioa
