But the summer fields invite
her. The rose leans over her way

"The air is all blue and gold,

WILL LAND TROOPS.

SAN Francisco, San. 26.-Mexico, it
is reporteas has decided to land troops
at San Jose de Guatemala This
would be very difficult proceeding
unless Mexico strengthened her navy,
for San Jose is approached only in
barges, and a landing could only be
effected at the long pier that is built
ont into the ocean. The surf breaks
too heavy on the ocean to permit the
landing of troops in boats.
Mexico has five ships on the Pacific
coast at her command. The first is
the Democratic $50 tons displacement,
built in 1875. She carries two 6X
inch rifed guns of an old pattern.
The Mexico and independence are
small craft of limited fighting qnall-
ties
The Libertad carries a 61< inch gun
and is the oldest boat in the fleet
The Zaragossa is modern pattern
of the dispatch boat.
She is used as a train ship and is of
more value from a fighting stand
point than all the other vessels in the
Mexican navy put together
Guatemala bought a man-of- war
several years ago. It is a small
schooner, not much larger than a
pilot boat. One muzzle loading gun
stands on this formidable crafts
draft. The weapon is not capable of
being fred, however.
San Jose de Guatemala is protected
by battery of Krupp cannon that
might make it warm for any ship the
Mexicans have but the Zaragossa.

been reduced to about SIS, 600, 00O
Since Dece mber 8 the treasury has

half the Brooklyn laborers. At the
bottom business hesitates, but the

In the belief that it would increase,
industries had enlarged production,
and. until it does, the excess of pro-
ducing capacity constantly tends to
depress prices in both iron and steel.

PREPARING AMMUNITION.

CITY OF MEXICO, via Laredo, Texas,

Efforts of the United States to Bring
About a Reconciliation.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 26.-The
United States has undertaken to play
the part of peacemaker between
Mexico and Guatemala to prevent
war if possible. A telegram has been
received here from Secretary Gresham
expressing the hope that Guatemala
and Mexico would agree between
themselves upon some method of
settling the dispute over the bound
airy, but that if this should not be
possible the United States trusted the
two countries would agree to submit
their differences to the arbitration of
some friendly nation. This communi-
cation from a nation with which
Mexico enjoys such intimate and
friendly relations has caused d pro-
found impression upon the govern
ment and undoubtedly accounts in
part, at least, for the decision of the
minister of foreign affairs to with
hold for five or six days. at
least, the ultimatum which it was
about to dispatch in much less time
in answer to note from Guatemala
received. 1t is learned that the pres
ident of the United States made such
appeal as would be received in good
spirit before sending it by first com
municating in an unofficial manner
with Minister Romero at Washington.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 26.-Mayor Schieren
expresses the opinion that the
strike is over, SO far as it affects the
convenience of the public. Colonel
Appleton of the Seventh regiment
said he expected to be relieved from
detail very soon. Master Workman
Connolly still maintains that the
strikers will win, but dozen strikers
applied to the Brooklyn City railway
for reinstatement and were put to
work. Street car officials say they
win take back old men, but say they
will not displaee the new men. More
cars were run yesterday than on any
day since the strike began. Mayor
Schieren declares the result of per-
sonal instruction that the lines are
giving good service. The mandamus
which it IS sought to have issued to
compel the companies to run cars is
not of much Importance under these
circumstances.

WASHINGTON. Jan 26.-The bill
pledging the faith of the United
States to do the construction of the
Nicaragua canal passed the senate
last night by the decisive vote of 81
yeas to 81 nays. 1t was the termina-
ton of a debate which has lasted
since the present session of congress
began. 1t was, moreover, the first
realization in either branch of con-
gress of the vast project so long and
vigorously urged for canal joining
the Atlantic and Pacific with the
United States government landing
sponsor for the execution of the work.
The Nicaraguau minister and many
other diplomats Interested in the pro-
ject had seats in the diplomatic gal
leries throughout the voting on the
many amendments, and the final ques-
ton.
The following is the vote in detail:
Yeas-Aldrich, Allison, Burrows. But

Gallery, Call, Cockrell, Daniel, Davis,
George, Gray, Hill, Irby, Jones OF
Arkansas, Kyle, Mills, Palmer, PETER,

Total, 81.
The pairs were (the first named
would have voted for the bill): Dn-
bois and Smith, Dolph and Coke,
Jones Of Nevada, and Harris, Sher~
man and Lindsay, Gordon and Martin,
Carey and Mitchell of Wisconsin, Per-
kins and Roach, Wash burn and Vest,

ley and Bates, Dixon and McLaurin,
Morrill, and Voorhees,, Stewart of Ne
vada, present and not voting.
The bill in brief directs the issue of
$40 600, 900 of Nicaragua canal bonds.
Each of these is to bear the following
guarantee: 1.-The United States of
America guarantees to the lawful
holder of this bond the payment by
the Maritime Canal company of Mica
ragua, of the principal of said bonds
and the interest accruing thereon,
and as it accrues."
An additional $50, 600, 600 of bonds is
to be issued without the United
States guarantee. The total $780,
o0o 900 thus issued is to be used in
constructing the interoceanic canal
The secretary of the treasury is to
have general supervision of the pro-
iect. A board of fifteen directors is
to have immediate charge of the
work OF this board the president is
to designate ten mem bers, no more
than two from any one state. The
United States is to receive $40, 600, O00
of canal company stock in return for
guaranteeing the bonds, and is to
hold mortgage lien on all the prop
erty of the canal company.
Aside from the final debate and
vote on the Nicaragua bill, the main
interest of the day attached to very
caustic speech by Mr.. Mills, of Texas,
unfolding the administration policy
in Hawaii and incidentally scoring
the sugar trust.
