HE IS IN ERROR.

President Cleveland, in his annua
message to Congress, and in that par
referring TO Mexico, committed an
error which in justice to this govern
ment should be corrected. Mr.. Ma
r'iscal stated yesterday THAT the error
was quite natural under tire circum-
stances. The error consisted in saw
ing that the last question between
Mexico and Guatemala had been
submitted to the arbitration of the
United States minister here. He ex-
planned that those questions were on
the observance of the boundary trea-
fy of 1882, and certain inyasions BY
Guateniaiafs of Mexican territory
With the destruction of property.
Those questions were fully settled
an the first Of April last, having
nothing pcnding-nothing excepting
the appointment Of an arbitrator who
would be authorized TO determine
the amount of the indemnify to be
paid tie claimants. Il was for Thu
purpose alone that the American
minister had been appointed by the
two governments. 1t should be re-
nemberea that Mexico declined to
have Eiie dispute wifli Guatemala ar
bitrated, it maintaining that there
was nothing TO arbitrate, but the ear
ryins out of previously negotiated
treaty and that was not a question
for arbitration. Guatemala yielded

SENTIMENT IN MEXICO.

City of Mexico, Dec. 23.-The
press continues to give hearty sup
port TO President Cleveland, and one
journal calls him the champion o:
all the American people, and says
the Monroe doctrine now has be-
come n broad principle, affirming
the right of all american nations to
their own territory, and the menace
of absorption by the great northern
republic has disappeared forever.
FL Giobo (newspaper) tonight says
England has earned the profound
antipathy of all American countries
by its rapacity and its utter lack of
magnanimity, and its sordid and
Tobber instincts. The American
people, from the white house at
Washington, Lave file the whole
world with their cry of protest
against Great Britain, and this cry
Is echoing through the entire I'M
iverse.
Cleveland's message is ceuched in
energetic and severe language, such
as should always be employed in re-
butting iniquity. CIeveland's stern
and vigorous words have flied the
Americas with rejoicing. 1t is an
unexpected revenge upon England
and a meriied hunted Humiliation
for her, and she now tastes the con
tempt she has visited on all other
nations.
Venezuela may now lift up her
head and demand that she receive
by force what has been denied her.
Cleveland's action is one of the
great events of history. 1t resem-
bles Greece repelling the Persian
hosts at Marathon. Europe, worn
out and effete. suffering from in
ternal decay and from the result of
her ancient vices, seeks to recuper-
ate her. forces on virgin soil in the
new world, but her covetousness is
now restrained.
a dixie hes been raised against
Europe, and the autonomy Of al
countries is forever
The principle of Amer
lea for its own inhabitants, watered
by the blood of 100000 MeSicans in
the war against France, has now
grown to full ripeness, and is
avowed for all mankind in Cleve-
land's great message
The press here assumes the same
tone.

tie filled with medicine which he wanted
for his head. He gave the jailer bottle
he had been permitted to carry into tie
jail, saying at the time it contained head
ache medicine. Hughes took the bottle
and placed in his private room, intend
ing to grant Aicardi's wish as soon as he
could see the prison physician.
THE FATAL DOSE. .t,,'
At 1 o'clock last afternoon, the hour
for dinner, Jailer Hughes unlocked the
ponderous door of the prison to permit
the GRUB" being passed in, and when
he himself entered the cell room one OF
the prisoners said: you'd better go and
see that old Italian, he's about dead"
He at once went to Aicardis cell and
found him breathing heavily and in pro
found slumber from which it was i'm
possible to arouse him.
The sleeping man was hurriedly re-
moved to the ante room of the prison and
DR.. Hudson was called in to see him.
He at once said Aicardi was under the
influence of big dose of morphine, and
the work of emptying and washing his
stomach was promptly performed, but
the doctor found very little If any trace
of morphine, the drug having been alb.
sorbed into the system.
He then resorted to q powerful gal
vanic battery but after nearly two hours
and possibly longer, of work, he failed ia
revive the old man and last night at
o'clock he was just alive and apparently
in condition to breathe his last at any
moment. ..-.. .e..t...-
When DR.. Hudson first reached him
he pronounced the case about hopeless
but nevertheless he generously did all
that medical science could suggest to
save the old mans life.
Aicardi is about 65 years of age, and
it is said he owns property in California
and some in Austin. At the time he shot
his wife Statesman reporter, trying to
find out What business he followed, was
told he was a peddler and successful
one.
His wife,. whom he wounded three
times, has about recovered. i.AI

Yesterday morning a little after 10
o'clock Mr.. John Blunt, a well known
carpenter engaged in laying the floor of
the power house, fell through belt hole
in the floor and plunged down Al feet
into the wheel pits.
Asphalt paper is being used in the
floor, and sheet of it was over the open
ing and Mr.. Blunt stepping on it went
through. Hs met with two instructions
on his way down which broke the force
of the fall and saved him from instant
death.
Both bones in the right leg below the
knee were broken, one of them piercing
through the flesh and making an ugly and
de ngcrohs wound. HIS nip was badly in.
jured, left hand cut, and back strained
and bruised.
Engineer Scoville and Mr.. O'Bierne of
the Fort Wayne Electric company hap.
pened to be in the power house at the
time, and Mr.. O'Bierne, an old time sail
or, at once secured some rope, hastily
made q tackle and lowered himself down
to where Mr.. Blunt lay mangled and
bleeding. He arranged the rope about
the wounded man and he was hoisted to
the floor, where Drs. Swearingen and
Sibley gave him surgical attention. He
was then sent to his home in South Aus,
tin. His injuries are very serious.

A LARGE LUMBER YARD.
An Austin Enterprise That is n Good
Thing for the City.

Few people in Austin know that the
city has the largest wood working es-
tablishment and lumber yard in the State.
But it has, and it is that of Hon. Joseph
Male, located on East Sixth street, and
covering an area 276 feet square.
The wood working department, offices
and rooms for builders hardware, paints
and glazed sash and doors, are located
in large fire proof stone building, the
offices being neatly and comfortably fitted
up and arranged. .r ..r ..ff-.
A fine 150-horse power engine propels
the machinery in the wood working de-
partment, and everything used in build
ing is rapidly, carefully and skillfully
turned out. You would be astonished to
see the elegant carved work turned out,
Mr.. Male having in his employ experts
in this line. The mantels, doors and 9th
er carved work for the finest of build
ings is equal in every respect to those
made in Eastern cities, and inquiries at
the shop showed that they are sold lower
than the imported articles when freight
charges are considered. Every class
and style of wood is done here, from the
comon ornamental to the most
intricate elaborate of designs,
plain and inlaid. Men contem-
plating the erection of costly resi-
dences can have the interior wood work,
mantels and stairways made at this es-
tablishment of any kind of wood in any
design or style they may wish.
