THE GREATER REPUBLIC
MINISTER OF TIE CENTRAL AMER
loan UNION INTERVIEWED.
Says Expressions Concerning the Unstibili-
ty of These United Central American
Republics are Basely False.

New York, Feb. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says:
In view OF severe criticisms of the
union of Republics in Central America,
and the doubtful expressions as to the
stability of the union, Mr. Frederick
Boyd, consul general of the Republic
OF Central America. makes the follow
ing statement:
The greater Republic is no mythe,
but permanent federation. The three
states are under an organization and
are recognized by the United States
France, Spain and all the Latin Amer
lean countries,
II know that there are certain lead
ers who have been urging the powers
of Guatemala and Costa Rica to aid
them in overthrowing Gutierrez. in
San Salvador and Zelaya in Nicaragua
in order to break up the union but up
TO the present time they have met with
no success in their policy.
Costa Rica has always kept aloft
from foreign complications. while Qua
temala has had her hands full at home
with a serious financial crisis. Fur
thermore, the relations between San
Salvador and Guatemala are so cordial
at present that neither would aid a
revolution started against the other.
1T is certainly untrue that San Sal
vador made no attempt to prevent an
invasion of Guatemalan territory in
January last. AS matter of fact it
was to San Salvadors vigilance that it
was not more formidable, as proved
by the published kilograms from Bar
rios to Gutierrez, thanking him for
his able cooperation in withholding
the frontier and arresting and impris-
Oning those implicated.
The old differences between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua have been hap
PLY arranged through the meditation
of the Central American diet, setting
aside all possible cause of trouble be-
tween them, or their lending aid to
crush Zelaya.
The tenor OF the reports OF Costa
Rica and Guatemala TO the special en-
voys of the Greater Republic tend to
indicate that they will join the union
cOnditionally."

INsTALLMENTs DON'T GO.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 24.-No papers
have yet been filed in the case against
ex-Auditor Eugene Moore, but Deputy
Attorney General Smith is authority
for the statement that they have been
prepared and are ready to file tomor-
row. The charges are of a criminal
character, based on the allegations Of
embezzlement and kindred offenses.
This indicates that the bondsmen of
Moore have been unable to raise the
$4,000 he is short and that the state
has refused TO settle on the installment
plan as proposed by Moore who offers
TO repay his shortage at the rate Of
$500 per month. There have been no
further steps taken in the Bartlett
case.

wRANGLE OVER BRYAN.

Missouri Legislature Scraps About
Paying for His Entertainment.
Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 24-In the
Senate a wrangle occurred over Sena-
tor Peers resolution to pay the ex-
penses incurred by the joint committee
in entertaining VIM. ]. Bryan last Sat
urday.
The Peers resolution contained an
itemized account of the expenses in
CURED in receiving and entertaining
Mr.. Bryan. The amount was S93, and
he asked that the Senate pay one-half
OF this amount and the House pay the
rest. The heavy items in the account
were due to a young woman from Illi
nois, who because OF her energy in
pushing the sale OF campaign buttons
is facetiously known as Buttons"
She charged 81 a piece for the ten
badges furnished the members of the
reception committee, % cents each for
ten Bryan buttons, and s12 railroad
fare for trips to st. Louis in procuring
the paraphernalia used by the commit
teemen.
Senators Mott and Davidson attack
ed the account rather savagely. Sem
ator Gray contended that the entire
Legislature. irrespective OF political
opinion or afiliation. had invited Mr..
Bryan to Jefferson City, and common
decency dictated that there be no
wrangle over the payment Of the ex-
penses incurred in entertaining him.
The resolution was finally adopted by
a resolution OF 20 TO 80.

THE TERRIBLE FLOOD
ONLY STOPPED BY THE FREEZING
CONDITION OF THE WEATHER.
Pittsburg and Other Cities Overlooked and
Millions of Dollars Damage and Thou
sands of Homeless, the Result.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 24.-The great
flood has done its worst in this section
and the waters are now receding. The
cold wave, which came up suddenly,
points between Pittsburg and the head
waters this morning indicates that the
danger has been passed. The river in
this vicinity had reached a higher
stage than at any time since 1884
Hardly a point on the Monongahela
valley, from Fairmont to Pittsburg, es-
capped damage. Mills, built supposed
ly out of harms way were submerged
Work along the river was stopped and
the Workmen forced to flee from the
rising tide. The damage can only be
Appropriated but is not less than a
valley alone.
From the headwaters of the Youghi-
ogheny also came a torrent which
brought with it destruction to valuable
property Railroads are unable; to
move trains and in some places tracks
are so far below the surface that only
the tops of gondola cars were visible
Pittsburg, McKeesport and Yough-
iogheny were entirely disabled while
trolley lines along the banks were so
badly wrecked that it win be several
days before operation can be resumed
Beneath several feet of debris there is
a million Of 10
machinery.
What ruin the flood has wrought can
not be told until the waters recede.
The poorer classes, who live in small
houses along the river banks, some OF
them only a few feet above the low
water mark, have been utterly home
less, while truck gardeners, having hot
beds in the bottom lands with veget-
ables all ready for market, have been
ruined. In McKeesport the damage
will exceed $1,000 In this city the
water cover Duques' way from Ninth
street to the point. Steamboats, were
moOred but a few feet from the en-
trance to Hotel Boyer and the Expo
sition building, was almost completely
surrounded by water. On the north
side (Alleghey) over 5000 people were
cooped up in the second story of their
homes all night as prisoners, their only
means of escape being by boats. Twen-
ty-two Allegheny manufacturing con-
Germs have been rendered idle by water
invading their premises. The south
side of the entire river front from
Thirtieth street down, is submerged.
All plants are under water and oper-
atoms are entirely suspended. 1t will
be several days before a general re-
sumption can take place.

Prices OF Linens Go UD,

When the tariff bill was about to be
framed the republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates.
Mr.. Aldrich, when introducing the
amended measure into the senate,
claimed that his rates were generally
lower than those of the house bill. The
linen schedule, however, is a notable
one of many exceptions. In it the SEN
ate rates are higher than those of the
house and much higher than anything
ever before known.

Feeding Calves.

The Illinois experiment station
has lfor two years been testing the
Importance Of coarse feed for CATTLE
Calves are allowed no grass, hay or
forage of any kind from birth, but
were given all the milk, slop and
ground grain, oil meal, etc, that
they would eat. Such calves ate
heartily ard enormous quantities,
almost twice as much as those that
were given roughness One ate
more than half a bushel of rich, con-
centrated ground food daily before
it was five mon tbs old. Yet, it al
ways looked thin, though it was very
heavy and it's flesh was as hard as
the muscles of laboring man.
Such calves were SO eager for some
thing bulky that it was necessary to
keep them away from their bedding,
dirt, splinters, etc. Atfour months
old the joints began to swell and
they would occasionally walk with a
reeling, staggering motion. Still
they always had good appetites. At
this stage one was killed, but no in
f1ammation or other unnatural con
dition was found in any of the -
gans, but there was absolutely no
fat whatever. Another one declin-
ed until it could not hold it's head up
when it was given hay which it ate
greedily and three hours afterwards
was chewing it's cud for the first
time in it's life, had frightened eye
and most contented expression.
Another calf continued without
bulky food, occasionally rallying but
finally died. All manifested the
same symptoms under this treat
ment for the same length Of time

A Narrow EScaDe.

Fred Gantz, brakeman on the
Spearfish, train and son of DR.. Fred
M. Gantz, met with an accident yes
terday afternoon, which, though it
did not result seriously, was d very
narrow escape from death. At
Portland an extra passenger coach
switched on the train and for some
unaccount table reason Fred got be-
tween the cars when they came to-
gether. This was unnecessary as
the cars were equipped with autom-
attic couplers, which leave but few
inches of space between the plat
forms. His body was caught at the
breast and was badly pinched. He
fell upon the rails and was unable to
extricate himself from beneath the
wheels, nor could he call aloud for
help. Fortunately for him Conduc.
tor Murphy discovered him and had
barely time to drag him out to save
the wheels from passing over him.
