The GREATER REPUBLIC

OF Central America FOrmeraly Recog-
nIzed by President Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-PresiGent
Cleveland yesterday formally recog-
nized the new greater republic of Cen
trail America, composed of Salvador,
Nicaragua and Honduras, by receiving
the envoy of the new government,
Mr.. ]. ID. Rodriguez. After present
ing his credent ials the minister made
a few brief remarks suitable to the
occasion to which the president in re-
ply said:
Il take pleasure in recognizing, in
the name of the United States of
America, the greater republic of Cen.
trail America, and in entering into
diplomatic relations Herewith. Such
recognition is given and such rela-
lions entered upon the distinct under
standing that the responsibility of
each of those republics to the United
States of America remains wholly I'M
affected.
81 discern in the articles of associa-
ton, from which the diet derives it's
powers, a step toward a closer union
of Central American states in the in
terest of their common defense and
general welfare, and l welcome 1t as
the precursor of other steps to be
taken in the same direction, and
which, it is hoped, may eventually re-
suit in the consolida ton of all the
states of Central America as one nation
for all the purposes of foreign rela-
tions and intercourse.
ITO you 1 extend cordial greeting,
both personal and official. and trust
that your renewed residence at the
capital of this country will be as
agreeable in its personal relations as
believe it will be useful and profit
able for the countries you represent,
between each of which and the United
States has always existed, and it is
hoped will always exist, the closest
ties of friendship" 10
The president expressed hope that
the new repu bile would soon include
Costa Rica and Guatemala.

McKinIeyis bosom friends, Congress
man Grosyenor and Mr.. FL. 81. Kohlsaat.
have given out evidently inspired in
formation which should I'LL the great
pIass of the republican party with
alarm. For it spells reputation and de-
feat In 1895 and 1000. This information
is that the major is still inhamed with
his single and singular idea that he
was elected for the sole purpose OF re-
building the Chinese wall OF high tariff,
and that the clique that surrounds him
is going to take full advantage of lis
infatuation. Instead of keeping their
implied pledge to the nation that there
would be no immediate reopening of
the question, they are apparently de-
termined to keep their expressed pledge
to the tariff robbers that the Wilson
bill would not stand month after Nc
Kinley's Inauguration.
To begin with. according to inspired
Prophet GrosTenor, chief OF the corps
of vaticination, Mr.. Mckinley and his
friends intend to abolish ad valorem i'm
posts, which have in the Wilson bill
approximated to honesty. and to return
to the old specific duty system, which
enables the tariff robbers to levy ''all
the traffic viii BEAR" in the immortal
words of Mr.. Coils P. Huntington, with
out letting the people know where the
wound is that is draining their blood.
Then they are going to restore high
taxes on wool, lumber, coal and the
products of the farm; and information
Is nonchalantly given that the duties
on glass, tin, pottery, chemicals and
some other products will be moved up
a peg or two" Not the least interest
ing of the proposed changes is the i'm
position of what is brazenly called a
reciprocity duty on sugar." which
indicates that the Havemeyers have
been pretty well represented on Mr..
Hanna's list of contributors to the Nc
Kin1ey campaign fund. It is designed
to have the bill completed by March
4, so that it can be rushed through con-
gress the first week of the extra ses-
sion in March.
Meanwhile there is no hint from any
source to show that the republicans
have the slightest intention of giving
the country relief from the present
dangerous condition of the financial sys-
tenn. Though this was the sole issue
of the campaign that resulted in Nc
Kinley's election, and though every re-
publican leader, in speech or in print,
practically promised that there would
be no renewal of tariff agitation. the
Canton clique are going to hurry us
back to the Mckinley basis as soon as
possible, in order to please their friends
and patrons, the mill bosses, and are
going to ignore everybody else.
Evidently Mr.. Mark Hanna has adopt
ed the philosophy of one of the most
eminent of his predecessors-"After me
the deluge."-N. Y. Journal.

but proceeded to Washington by the
Louisville 81 Nashville road as soon as
the transfer could be made The ex-
queen vigorously repudiated the in
terview which a reporter profeSsed to
have had with her at Houston, Tex.
AS she spoke excellent English she
had no difficulty in making herself un-
derstood. She said:
ut Is all a mistake. I was never

Believed by Those In n Position to Know
to be Dead.
CHICAGO, Dec. PA special from
Washington says:
Opponents of the Cameron Cuban
resolution claim confidently that the
measure can never run the gauntlet OF
congress. Spanish Minister de LONE
cabled his government yesterday that
the tone of comment in official circles
and the circumstances surrounding
the Cameron resolution when congress
adjourned made it absolutely certain
that the measure was dead. The sud-
den hostility shown toward the reso-
luton by commercial bodies in various
large cities is expected to increase
during the holidays and present
formidable barrier to the resolution
when congress reassembles.
Only a few members of congress re-
main in the city. The capitol building
and the other favOrite haunts of
statesmen were almost deserted yes
terday, but the few members who were
seen expressed the opinion that the
Cameron war cloud had disappeared,
leaving only an unpleasant memory
on the long side of the stock market. :"

QUEEN LII AT THE HUB.
She Passes Through jersey City and Makes
"A Speech,

Speech.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Liliuokalani,
ex-queen of the Hawaiian islands, ar
rived in Jersey City from the south at
1928 p. m. yesterday. A crowd of GU
rlous persons was at the station to
meet her, and when her private car
came to a stop in the Pennsylvania
railroad station they gathered close
around it in order to catch a glimpse
of the deposed queen. After brief
interval the ex-queen appeared on the
platform of the car and addressed
those present, saying:
Il certainly have received a royal
reception. Americans are most cor
dial as d race"
Later, in conversation with a repre-
sentative CT the United Associated
Presses, she said that she was not here
on any political errand, and that her
visit was purely friendly one. She
further said that she did not know
whether she would later go to Wash
ington or not, as her plans are not ar
ranged for more than month. II
Will go to Boston," the ex-queen said,
Ito visit a cousin of the uncle of my
late husband. He is Mr.. William Lee
of the firm of Lee & Shepard. I will
stay with the Lees for four weeks at
least, and then shall go wherever my
fancy dictates"
What about the annexation of Ha
waii?' was asked.
At this point the former queen
seemed to forget her fluent English
and feigned not understand. When
the question was put again she was
equally dense and it was evident that
the annexation question was not to be
discussed by the deposed queen.
The interview over, the ex-queen,
her travelling companion, E. Fl. Nance
lena, and her private secretary, 10.
seph Hulehule, escorted by the passen.
ger agent of the Southern railroad,
boarded the ferryboat Maryland.
which brought them to this city.
Later they took a train for Boston.
The ex-queen and her party arrived
in Boston last night.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 24.-Some

Combs trestle, Is miles east of here
Tuesday night, on the Southern rail-
road, and moved a rail ~ inches out of
plumb. Train No. 81, consisting
of an engine and six cars with
more than a hundred passengers
on board, came down the mountain on
to the bridge at schedule rate. En-
gineer Sim Halves discovered the rail
out of place, reversed and put on
the air brakes, but too late to prevent
the entire train and engine leaving the
rails. The train went its full length
and ten feet on the timbers on top OF
the trestle, but fortunately did not
turn over. Had it not been for the
nerve of the engineer the train would
have dropped 90 feet and not a soul
escaped. The work was done by would

posse with six good dogs have struck
a hot trail, and are in pursuit of the
wreckers.

THE DINGLEY BILL EXPOSURE
Republican Hypocrisy Revealed in the
Senate.

Republican Hypocrisy Revealed In the
Senate.
Senator Vest did good service for the
country and the democracy by exposing
in the senate the hypocrisy of the re-
publicans with regard to the Dingley
bill in particular and the tariff in gem
eral.
His vigorous attack on the bill and
on the republican attitude with regard
to the tariff brought out the statement
from the republican side of the senate
that the republicans did not expect to
pass the bill and regarded it as dead.
Senator Teller added to the interest
and significance of the revelation by
serting that it never was the inten
of the republicans to pass the bill
that twas drawR>up and introduc
I political effect in thScAmpaign..
intended to serve asia sop aQAsai
tite Whether to the manufactO
from whom the republicans wanted
in the election.
The republican talk about the Ding
ley bill is, therefore, pure moonshines
The leaders admit they cannot pass it,
and that, if they could, would not pass
it. AS a matter of fact, they would re-
gard its passage as great party calam-
ity, because it would take away the ex-
cuse for calling an extra session and
passing bill which would be satisfac-
tory to the horde of bounty seekers the
party has on its hands.
The debate thoroughly punctured the
revenue and prosperity bluster of the
republicans. 1t emphasized the fact
that McKinleyism means less revenue
for the treasury and the checking of
general prosperity. 1t showed that the
kind of revenue and prosperity the re-
publicans are preparing to create are
private, not public.-St. Louis Repub-
