BUB0NIC PLAGUE.

TERRIBLE sOOURGE.
Mortality Greater Than Reported-Grave-

Cities Are Depopulated.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 26,-Miss Abbie
Child, secetary of the Woman's Board
of Missions, has received the follow
ing letter from Mrs. Rev. Z. S. Hume,
of Bombay:
This terrible bubonic plague is wor-
king fearful havoc in every branch of
the native community. Some three
hundred thousand persons have left
town. The Barodar railway alone has
put on six extra trains day to provide
accommodations for those leaving by
their line. In the railway station here
at Byculia there sit hundreds waiting
for an opportunity to leave by the
great India peninsula trains. The peo-
pie are dazed and terrified.
I'm the Hindoo burying ground down
on Queens Road, DR.. Jedd, the assist
ant coroner, says that the papers give
not a fractional part as to the facts
of the plague; that in one burying
ground the day before there had been
one hundred and thirty bodies brought
and they could not dispose of them fast
enough. In the Mohammedan burying
grounds they are laying four and five
bodies in a grave. And yet with all
this about us, not native Christian
has had an attack.
Eight Europeans If not more, have
died of it. At first it was thought that
about 80 per cent recovered, but later
facts from various sources prove the
fatality to be even greater. Since the
death of a little girl in one of our
schools, the doctors have ordered all
four of our outside schools closed. Our
Christian school, with the boarding
departments, had to be closed without
any prize giving, or annual school ex-
hibition and those Of our boarders who
have homes have been sent away The
rest are with US as usual"

AsCOMPLICATED AFFAIR.
TWO MEN DECLARE THEY HOLD
THE SAME JOB.
Honduran Minister Don't Recognise the
Greater Central American Republic
Man and Trouble is the Result

New York, Jan. 26.-The greater re-
public Of Central America, recently rec
ognized by President Cleveland, is
meeting with an unexpected obstacle
to the establishment of its consulate
in this city. Jacob Baiz, consul gen.
eral for Honduras, which with Near
aqua and Salvador, constitutes the new
republic, refuses to turn over to Gen.
Bolet-Peraza, its consul general, the
records of his office on the ground that
his government has not notified him of
any change and that he must continue
to discharge the duties imposed upon
him.
Gen. Bolet-Peraza called the atten-
ton of Mr.. BaiZ to the impossibility of
this in view of the fact that Honduras
no longer exists independently of the
Greater Republic of Central Amer
lea, to the diet of which it has delega-
ted the conduct OF its foreign relations.
Mr. Baiz, however, still refuses to
surrender his office.
Since Bolet-Peraza received his ex-
Secretary Olney on January is, several
steamships have left for the ports of
Honduras with papers bearing the sig
nature of Mr. Baiz. The new consul
general said that their cargoes will
be liable to seizure as smuggled goods
in the absence of invoices signed by
him and that it will be his duty to
see that this liability is executed.
Several merchants have appealed to
Secretary Olney for instructions and
a letter from him has been received by
w. Laizen & Co, exporters, affirming
the authority of Gen. Bolet-Peraza.
The latter has announced his inten-
ton to appeal through Minister Doder-
guez to the State department of our
government for the protection of in
nocent third parties whose interests
are endangered by the present compli-
cations.

The Cattle Will Suffer.

Pearsall, Texas. Jan. 26.-Special.-
The coolest weather which the people
of this section Of the state have exper-

felt. During Sunday night a slight
rain fell and yesterday morning the
ground was frozen hard. 1t has been
sleeting all day and continues to get
colder If it continues as cold as it is
for many days 1t will cause some OF
our cattlemen to lose their stock which
are out on the range and will necessi-
tate those feeding beeves for market
to feed a week or so longer than they
would otherwise have had to do. IL the
weather had continued warm. Some
of our oldest residents say it is the
coolest spell of weather they ever saw
in this section OF the state.
