DIAz COOLING DOWN.
Mexico Willing to Do What is Fair in
the Pending Dispute.

Cry OF MEXICO, Jan. rs. 6.-Presi-
dent Diaz and Foreign Minister
Marical had a long conference over
the Gautemalan matter. The re-
ply of Guatemala to the demand of
Mexico, received yesterday at the
national palace, was read and con.
sidered in many of it's bearings. An
other conference will probably be
held Monday, at which the entire
cabinet will doubtless be asked to
be present,
When interviewed neither Presi.
dent Diaz nor the minister would
give any information. AS to the
various reports published by the
press on the Presidents speech,
President Diaz dictated the follow
lug to reporter,
''The Government appreciates
this manly manifestation, it be-
ing one of the results Of the vehe-
ment and inexact phases which the
press has presented OF the question
of the day ! will comply with
duty in stating that although 1t
is true the government Is sustain
ing a serious and delicate contro-
versy Of diplomatic nature, which
If not handled with correct, logical
and honorable means, may conduce
to war; and also that 1t is true that
we are not yet on the verge Of war,
because honor, good faith and logic
constitute the programme Of the
government, and because 1t has no
right to arbltrate any other course
to its adversary, the government
believes and has practically demon
strated that belief for sever al years,
that the greatest blessing we can
offer our country is the present pc.
riod Of reconstruction and happy
and visible development Of peace,
and declare it will only allow it to be
interrupted when an unjust and
pertnaclous aggressor insists upon
infringing upon its well established
rights and assaiing the national
honor and decorum. In such an
event, which ! hope will not be re-
allied, the government will confront
the situation with true faith and
energy, inspired by It's duty and its
right, The government accepts,
holds In esteem and will use with
economy what YOU so patriotically
offer, We soldiers of the genera
tlon now passing away feel our
blood tlngle when we think we may
be able to baptize in war, every way
just on our part, the generation
coming on, in whose hands we are
going to leave the country and Its
fate.p

Senate--.WO in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, The bill
pledging the faith of the United
States to do the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, passed the Senate
by the decisive vote of 81 yeas to Il
nays.
1t was the termination of de-
bate which has lasted since the
present session of Congress began,
1t was, moreover, the first realiza-
tion in either branch of Congress of
the vast project so long and vigor-
ously urged for canal joining the
Atlantic Pacific, with the United
States government standing spon-
sor for the execution of the work,
The final vote was not secured un
til $50 o'clock lastn light, but, not
withstanding the lateness of the
hour, there was an exceptionally
tull Senate, owing the interest felt
in the elimination of the long dis
cussion, The Nicaraguan minister,
and many other diplomats interest
ed in the project, had seats in the
diplomatic galleries throughout the
voting on the many amendments,
and the final question,
The bill, in brief, directs the issue
of 7O,OOO,OOO Of Nicaragua canal
bonds, Each of these are to bear
the following guarantee;
'The United States OF America
guarantees to the lawful holder of
this bond the payment by the Mari
time Canal Company Of Nicaragua
of the principal Of said bonds, and
the interest accruing thereon, and
as it accrues"
In addition, $3O,OOO,000 of bonds
Is to be issued without the United
States guarantee The total, $780,
900, ,000 thus issued is to be used in
constructing the inter-oceanic ca
nal, The Secretary Of the Treas

THE REWARD OF SIN.
Existence Made a Veritable He'll on
Earth For Breckenridge.

WARRINGTON, Jan. n. Back in a
dark corner behind a messengers
desk, near the door of Cabinet
Minister'S official quarters, sat a
veiled woman the other day, The
spectacle was not unusual. Indeed,
it is very common for women to
thus wait for a chance to gain au-
dience with these great people.
But there was something so pa
thetically shrinking in this ones at
titude, and such an evident desire
to escape attention, that more
than one of the passing stream of
men stopped to look searchingly at
the somberly draped figure.
In a little while a snowy-haired
man with white beard and patriar-
chal appearance, emerged from the
minister's rooms The woman 81
lently arose, took his proffered arm,
and the pair moved away without a
word. The scene was repeated at
other offices, the woman remaining
outside while her companion went
in to transact whatever business he
mipht have had.
Inquiry elected the information
that this couple made daily visits to
one or more of the departments
and that the woman invariably
shrank into an obscure seat in the
corridors, while her escort made
his call She persistently refused
all invitations to go with him into
any of the offices.
The man was Col, Breckenridge,
the Kentucky Congressman, and
the woman his wife, The two are
almost isolated and it is clear that
Mrs. Breckinridge feels her position
keenly. The women of Washington
have set their faces stonily against
Breckenridge and his belongings,
and have made existence for him a
social hell. They have carried their
resentment so far that the couple
have virtually ceased all attempts
to establish friendly relations in the
capital, and have drawn within
themselves,
They live as much alone as though
they we're the only the inhabitants
of desert island. Many of the
other occupants Of the hotel at
which they are stopping have even
carried their warfare, or persecu-
tion or whatever name you may call
it, to such a length that they will
not sit at the same table with their
victims in the dining room, and es
pecially high.collared delegation OF
females visited the hotel Office not
long ago and asked If the objects OF
their vlrtuous fury could not be
ordered from the establishment,
The proprietor said he could not
see wherein the atmosphere Of his
hotel was being vltiated by the
presence of the Kentucky Colonel
and his wife and suggested that II
any Of the guests felt themselves In
danger Of de6lement, they had his
permission to go somewhere else.
The delegation concluded to stay.
And now the Colonel Is ready to ad-
NIT that the way of the convicted
transgressor Is corduroy.

EDS. RECORD UNION: In an article en-
titled missionary Effort in China"
which appeared in to-day's issue, you
ask, as the missionary effort in China

some impressions of your own and by
quotations from various sources. And
it is all good reading-plausib!e and very
satisfactory to the natural feeling of SYM
pathy we have for those whose sutferings
we witness. \ on close with these words
from the Chicago Inter ocean: The de-
ticits in the foreign missionary funds in
recent wears go to show that the Chris
tians of this country are more and more
inclined to extend their aid in throwing
light into the dark corners of our own
country and extending a loving hand to
those who are III distress, to make them
feel that Christianity means to-day what
it did when Christ taught the religion of
love-
I agree with this. certainly. But what
were His teachings? The old command
to love thy neighbor as thyself was in
dorsed by Christ. The question. WHO
Is my neighbour" was asked in those
days and was answered by the parable of
the good Samaritan" It does not re-
quire very deep study of this parable to
obtain the Great Teachers views upon

Something of DIR. Krauskopf's Very
Interesting Career.
The distinguished Rabbi, DR.. Kraus-
kopf, who is to speak next Monday even
ing for the Sacramento Lecture Associa-
ton, is not less a sturdy practical man of
business than an eloquent preacher, and
his business is the advancement of his
race. His active philanthropic labors in
the city of Philadelphia, and the strong.
practical sense that has characterized his
methods and objects there have won for
him, perhaps, as high place among men
OF affairs as his writings and speeches
have won for him among scholars.
His greatest achievement, however, is
the influence he has been able 10 exert
upon the plans of the Russian Govern
ment in its dealing with its large Jewish
population, Dr. krauskopf stOutly op-
posed the scheme OF Withdrawing
Russian Jews from Russia holding that
1t wss better for them aud for civilization
at large that the problem of The jews in
Russia should be worked out upon
Russian soil.
To assist in bringing this about he pro-
posed TO go to Russia and confer with the
Government, but be was compelled TO
bring The full force of the American Gov
ernnent to bear before he was permitted
even an interview with tne Russian pow
ers. Once admitted, however, the Russian
Minister OF Finance entered heartily into
his scheme for the colonization OF the Jews

outcome.

CHARGE AGAINST ENGINEER COFPEY
Trustees Continue the Investigation
Till tuesday Night.
Leonard Hopes the Board VIII Not
Meet Prepared to Administer
a Whitewash.

The City Board Of Trustees held spe-
cial meeting last night to consider the
charges made by Chief Engineer Wolf CT
the Water Works against Assistant En-
Rineer John Cof1ey. Trustees Lawton.
Wachhorst, Kent, Davis, Devine, Tozer.
Leonard and Pennish were present
The charges were to the effect that
on the 18th inst. Coffey was drunk on
duty and was abusive to Wolf. and
threatened in the hearing of fireman to
wipe him off the face of the earth.
K. NJ. Clarken appeared for Cotfey, and
said he had been suffering from the ef-
fects of an accident and had also been so
busy professionally that he had had no
chance to confer with his client. He had
also been appointed on a Grievance Com
mittee OF the Sacramento Bar, meeting
TO be held that evening. He therefore
was desirous of an adjournment of the
consideration of the question till some
future time.
Tozer said the board was not here to
listen TO arguments, but 10 hear the
charges and the evidence in the case.
Devine thought Coffey should be
granted a continuance, and he moved
that it tee continued till Tuesday night.
Leonard said he could not be present on
that night. and moved that 1t be contIn-
ued till two weeks from that date.
Devine said that charges had been
once before preferred in Water Works
case that was referred 10 somebody and
was never brought up again. He knew
there had for some time been feeling
among the emp plOyes at the Water Works
that had sometimes been manifested
brutally. He did not see any use OF so
long postponement.
Leonard Withdrew his motion, but said
he hoped the board would not get cooked
and primed to administer " whitewash
He was opposed To that sort of business
The motion to postpone the matter till
Tuesday prevailed
Leonard said that some arrangement
should be made by which the Chief
Engineer could be enabled to get one of
his witnesses, Assistant Engineer W Woods,
TO attend the meeting. He was not pres
ent tonight, because he could not leave
his post, there being no one to take his
place.
Kent moved that the Chief Engineer
be instructed TO procure some one To take
Woods place during the time that he
would have to appear before the board.
Carried.
The names of the witnesses were called
and they were ordered to be present on
Tuesday evening.
The board then adjourned.

Judge Catlin Overrules the Demurrer
to the Complaint.
Judge Catlin yesterday oyerruled the
demurrer to the complaint in the case of
Hale Bros. Il Co. VS.. the Central Electric
Railway Company, and also denied the
motion to strike out certain portions of
the plaintiffs petition for a writ Of man
date to compel the defendants TO supply
them with all the halt-price railway fares
desired, known as 'school passes,' alleg-
ing that in this particular they are dis
"rimiuated against in favor of other
firms.
In his decision Judge Catlin refers to
the coDgtltutional provision against dis
crltnInaIiOn by transportation companies,
and 10 Section 2l70 of the Civil Code,
which declares that "a common carrier
must not give preference in time, price
or otherwise 10 one person over another"
de adds that it is undOu btedly the duty
OF company, where tickets are put on
sale ana any advantage arises from their
possession. to furnish them without
discrimination to all persons applying
I0r them and who are ready and willing
10 pay for them, and who are entitled to
be accepted as passengers. After re-
1errlng 10 various authorities and de-
cisions on this point, the court adds:
Nothing remains. therefore. but to see
whether the remedy sought by manda-
mus is proper and available"
Authorities on this point are given, and
Judge Catlin says: II can find no sup
port in reason or authority for the con
tention OF respondent that no illegal dis
sCriminaton is stated in the petition, or
that mandamus is notthe proper remedy.
The motion 10 strike out certain portions
OF the petition is denied, and the de-
murrer overruled."
