RECORDS OF TIE REBELLION.
Congressman Apsley Wants All Sol
dsers, Organization To Raw Them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 1S95.-Congress-
man Apsley eff Massachusetts is en-
deavoring to secure from the House
Printing Committee a favorable report
on the joint resolution introduced by him
last session to print a new edition of the
records of the rebellion. 1t is his pur-
pose to furnish to each Grand Army
and other Union veteran posts, as well
as to the Confederate veteran associa-
tions, a set each of these volumes. There
are in all 1852 ex-soldier organizations
to whom sets of the records would be
presented.
Mr.. Apsley says that the historical
value of these records can hardly be
over-estimated. They contain the names
of every soldier in both the Northern and
Southern armies, maps of battlefields,
copies of official Orders. histories of
regiments, brigades n divisions and
other information.
Mr.. Apsley says the previous editions
Of the records issued by the direction OF
Congress were allotted to Senators and
Representatives, and that in many cases,

MEXICAN BONDS GO UP.
Cessation of the G~ueernafam War
Scare gpcreases Confidence.


BOSTON, Feb. /, 1s95.-Tke 'Herald's',
City of Mexico correspondent telegraphs
as follows
1.-THE rise in Mexican. Government
bonds in Europe, which has now been
steadily maintained for several days,
reflects the financial opinion here that
there will be no war with Guatemala. The
only possible disturbing element to be
taken into consideration is the ugly tenn
per of the people on both sides of the
Southern frontier.
1.-The policy of the Mexican Govern
ment, while firm. is not bullying and
an especial show of courtesy has been
made here to the Guatemalan Envoy.
Loon. a good deal of news of a sensa-
tional sort has been wired from here,
but, although the country is patriotically
supporting the Government, there is no
enthusiasm of a feverish sort. Nobody
can see any glory in a war with Guate-
mala.
Private advices from Guatemala show
that that country is i'll prepared for war,
and Barrios would like to evade it. Some
G-uatemaleans in the northern provinces
would like to set up a separate republic,
or be annexed to Mexico.
European capitalists friendly to Mexico
do not favor q war. n their opinion
as to the future is plainly exhibited in
the strength of Mexican bonds on Eu-
ropean BOurses.'

DID NOT KILL HIS WIFE.

Cleaned for Twelve Years.
BOSTON, Feb. l., 1S95.-A special from
East Thompson, Conn, says there is
every reason to believe that Jerry"
Stashkowiich, in the Brooklyn, Conn,
Jail for the murder of his wife n her
six-year-old boy is innocent.
An affectionate letter to the wife from
an old lover has been found. and a
neighbor accounts for the fresh blood
on the axe. in the bed and in the house,
by explaining that when the horse was
killed Sunday morning, Jerry cut a
hole in the side of the horses body with
his axe. SO the h~alf-starved dog could
eat of the carcass. The dog would nat
urally be covered with blood n would
run into the house, leaving blood stains
wherever he happened to lie.
Many chickens had been killed in the
house, which had not been cleaned for
twelve years. and was in a filthy con-
dition-
Jerry a no evident motive for
numbering his wife, but had every rea-
son for not getting rid of her, as she
was the sole support of the family. Her
earnings, Sc a week, kept the wolf from
the door.
