Minister Young Tells of His Central
American Home.

Washington, March 24.-Gen. p. NJ. B.
Young, United States minister to Guate-
mala, was in Washington to-day, en- route
to New York from Georgia. The genial
general is as ruddy-faced as in the days
of yore, when, scarcely out of his teens,
he led his dashing confederate cavalry.
Zine writes no wrinkles on his brow"
When complimented on his good looks, he
attributed them to the fact that he had
been in Gainesville eating Georgia hog
and hominy

equal to mis- own that he is going to take
with him.

WON'T SHRINK PROM ms DrrY.

But congress had turned it over to MIN.
ana upon him rested the responsibility
which he could not and would not evade.
Ihe performance of his full duty obliged
hlm TO consider, not the interests Of this
or that section, but the welfare of the
whole people and that duty he should
endeavor to discharge to the best of his
ability. To that end he had sought infor-
nation from all sources and heard all
interests. He intended to take all
OF the facts into consideration and to
oase MS decision upon the conviction he
shOuld reach as TO the interests of the
whole people. The President spoke feel
lngly Of the gravity of the responsibility
thus imposed upon him by the differences
IN various localities. He pointed
out some of the features urged
against the bill. He did not say they
were fatal defects, yet the tendency Of
his statements was to show that he could
not yet reconcile himself to the views the
silver men had expressed. Mr.. Cleve-
land spoke for fully five minutes.
AFRAID OF THE SECOND SECTION.
When the main body of congressman
had retired. others followed, and thus a
stream of silver pleas continued through
out the public hours of the President
10 one of the congressman Mr.. Cleveland
pointed out that his main fear was against
the second section of the Bland bill.
which may cause run on the treasury
for the redemption of treasury notes in
gold.
Another important criticism advanced
by Mr. Cleveland, was that the phrase
ology of the bill was defective. in the
Judgment of eminent legal authorities
The President pointed out that the word
ing Of the section directing the coinage Of
the seigniorage was such that while it
seemed te authorize $50, 600, 600 it was
open to the construction that the amount
should be Sl1O,0 100000. While not stating
that the defect was fatal, the President
seemed to regard it as a serious matter in
such a measure.
THE SOUTH WANTS A VETO.
The south came strongly to the front
again to-day in the letters and telegrams
filed upon Mr.. Thurber's desk, nearly all
praying for veto
The Fort Worth, Tex, chamber of com
merce urged a veto in the interest of
sound money.
Houston, Tex, warned the President
that no party was of any use that i'm
paired the business interests and credit of
the country. Like sentiments were OK
pressed by the Detroit Board Of Trade,
Chicago, Philadelphia and Worcester
(Mass.) merchants. and from Newberry,
). c., came a denunciation of the
bill as a long and fatal step in
the direction of cheap and unsound
money. Indianapolis and Norfolk
merchants were also of the same mind,
and the letters and kilograms on this side
of the case came so thick and fast as TO
leave little time for Mr.. Thurber to do
more than sean them hastily and make
brief notes of their contents for exhibition
to the President.

REPEAL OF THE BANK TAX.
A Bill for the Benefit of Certain South.
ern Banks to Be Rennrtad

ern Banks TO be Reported.
Washington, March 24.-Authough the
proposition to report the bill for the re-
peal of the 10 per cent. state bank tax has
been killed in the House committee on
banking and currency, it is intended to
bring it before the House for action.
The committe has authorized Chairman
Springer to report bill for the relief Of
certain banks, chiefly in the southern
states, which, during last summer, issued
clearing house certificates in various
parts of the country. Representative
Johnson, of Indiana, protested against
this action of the committee, for the
reason that it would permit the friends
of repeal to offer that
proposition as an amendment to
to the bill. He received no support
When Mr. Springer calls up the bill,
which it is understood he will do at the
earliest practicable day. 1t is said that
Mr.. Cox, of Tennessee, will move to
amend by adding a section to repeal the
state bank tax. Then the whole will be
before the House for consideration, and
somewhat extended debate is anticipated,
and it is thought not improbable that
Mr.. COX's amendment will receive the
votes of a majority of the House.

revenue is estimated at g}I, 500, 900. as
against estimated expenditure of 4g5.-

mately correct, there lis certain TO be a
pretty sharp debate over the budget
when it is discussed IN committee in the
House.
The failure of the New Zealand Loan
Company has very seriously affected a
prominent and very useful member of the
cabinet, A. j. Mundella. president of the
board of trade, together with two ex-
cabinet ministers, Sir John Eldon Gorst
and Sir James Ferguson, respectively
solicitor general and postmaster general
in the cabinet OF Lord Salisbury and Sir
George Russell, member of parliament
for Berkshire. These gentlemen were
directors in the company and were largely
instrumental in its promotions.
MAY AsD rHE BROKERS.
According to stock exchange gossip,
several brokers of the highest standing,
socially and fl anciallY, have been dis
covered to have had dealings with Frank
May. the deposed chief cashier of the
Bank of H9gland, and have been asked by
the governing committee of the exchange
to explain their violation of the rule which
prohibits any member of the exchange
from transacting business with officials
or clerks belonging to a public establish
ment without the knowledge of the lat
ter's superiors or employers. 1t is said,
however, that as some of the members of
the exchange committee are known to
have acted as brokers for Cashier May in
some Of the transactions, the inquiry into
the matter is not likely to be very ex-
haustive or very disastrous to the culprits'

William Waldorf Astor is very proud
of his election to the Carlton club and
especially desires to have it known that
he was chosen to membership out of his
turn and over the heads of hundreds who
were ahead on the list of proposed candi-
dates. Mr.. Astor also wishes it to be
known that he is the first American who
has ever been so honored. He was proposed
by the Marquis of Abergavenny, and this
fact also Mr.. Astor would like to have
known. The money that Mr.. Astor has
been spending in the cause of the Conser-
vative party was what elected him, but it
is not stated whether Mr.. Astor wishes
this to be known or not Anyway, it is
known. To-day's issue of the Pail Mall
Gazette, Mr.. Astor's newspaper, contains
an article with the captions
in big type: ''Irish misgoyern-
ment-the United States Municipal
Degradation" The article says that the
Irish have shown by their administration
of the municipal affairs of certain Amer
lean cities that they are dangerous to civ
lzatiOn and points the moral that home
rule for Ireland would ruin the United
Kingdom, adding; N'The irish ought to
be kept down"

THE JUNKEr ON THE DOLPHIN.
Object of the Winning and Dining of
the Congressmen.


Washington, March PA consider
able number Of members of the House
were strongly opposed to adjournment
over Wednesday, to take a trip down the
river on the Dolphin. 1t was a iunket
pure and simple, and the purpose was to
in press the honorable senator's and rep
resentauves with the Importance Of max
ing big appropriations for the navy. The
House at present is not inclined that way,
and those who favor increased
appropriations thought the best
way to impress congressman was
through their appetites. Winning and
dining are often more powerful than ar
guments, and it was thought they would
be so in this instance. Maybe they will (;
but indications are that the rigid econ
omy which has been observed in making
the other appropriation will prevail in
the case Of the navy. The President is
understood to be in thorough accord with
the appropriations committee in its efforts
to reduce expenses in all departments.

added that if they should pass a resolu-
tion recalling KOssuth's merits prior to

death has expatiated, he did not believe
such action would infict a wound upon
the sentiments of loyalty which were due
to the king.

er of the handsome Hawaiian bred
horse Fred Mae, with a record ST
2 AZ. He is the fastest Hawai-
ian bred animal now in the
islands, and it IS said that
there are only two alive now that
can beat him one of these is his
sire-Boswell, Jr 2:19, and ". 81.
B, with record of better than
2 :25. Both of these horses are at
present in California, Boswell, Jr.,
being owned by Harry Agnew.
Fred Mac is undoubtedly able to
beat his record this year If neces-
sary. He is in fine condition, and
is being worked every day. Mr..
Macfarlane is pinning his hopes IN
the three-minute Hawaiian bred
race to a fine Marin colt. He has
also a green PAGER from Paul Isen-
berg's ranch at Waialae, which will
probably be entered In at least one
of the races.
Ruby Dexter has a fne-looking
Dawn stallion called Daylight,
which will make strong showing
in the three-minute race for Ha-
waiian-bred horses. Gus Schuman
has a young Boswell Jr. stallion,
the property of John Emmeluth,
which looks a race horse through
and through and will start ID the
three minute class. The pacing
mare. Martha S. is his stable COM
panion. There has been some talk
about Horner's thoroughbred run
ring horse, Hawaii, being brought
here, but it is doubtful. 1t would
be his first appearance on the Park
track, and as the horse has good
reputation, and is finely bred,
horsemen would like to see him
come.
The above horses, although only
a few of those which will enter, Is
enough to show the character of
the animals contending for honors
at the track. The meeting bids fair
to be a successful one. The Jockey
Club is working hard to bring it to
satisfactory issue, and it will I'M
doubtedly do so. In every way
lovers of the sport are promised
most enjoyable day.
