One of our consuls in Mexico went
there with a definite purpose. He was
going to save money and buy farm.
In pursuance of that idea he rented a
small room for the consulate, lived In
another small room adjoining, and did
his own housekeeping. In England the
character of the consuls wife is always
taken into consideration in making an
appointment. as it is recognized that
the duties of a consul are more or less
social. In America this has nothing to
do with the case, and this Chicago gen.

RIOTS IN GUATEMALA.
Three Hundred of Morales Follow
ers Killed.


New Orleans. Sept. 12.-The steamship
Olympia arrived here yesterday from
Port Cortez with the news that during
the election in Guatemala last Wednes-
day 300 persons were killed at the polls.
The riots originated among the follow
ers of Prospero Morales, the dead revolu-
zionist, and as soon as a disturbance
arose the government troops fired into
the mobs.
The Olympia got this news from the
captain OF a steamer which had just ar
rived at Puerto ,Cortez from Port Barriso
where great excitement prevailed.
The government telegraph lines had
not sent out this feature of the Manuel
Estrada Cabrera election, IL having been
suppressed by the censor.
Col. d. B. Cooper, the general manager
of the Astpr syndicate in Honduras ar
rived on the Olympia. accompanied by
H. s GivEer, the railroad contractor of
the syndicate.
Roth men left for New York last night,
where they will confer with the heads
OF the syndicate as to the future of the
concern Its fate is said TO hang in the
balance

it will quit operations and die out, and
it is for the purpose of deciding whether
the work will go on or stop that Col.

AN EAST RIVER INCIDENT.
Three Men CIung to the Deck Braces
of Ferry boat.


New York. Sept. 12.-After spending the
greater part of the day cruising around
the harbor in the small sloop Mollie.
which they owned, John B. Larsen, Ben
jamin flanders and Thomas Sands, all
fishermen, of No. 273 Furman Street
Brooklyn, were returning up the East
River at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
The Mollie was about 200 feet OF the
Brooklyn shore when out of her pier. at
the foot of Broadway. came the ferry
boat Columbia, on her way 10 the Grand
Street slip, Manhattan. There was a
strong tide running in at the time
To the men on the Mollie it seemed
that the ferryboat would have ample
time TO cross ahead of them, and they
kept their course directly up the river.
The pilot of the Columbia did not see the
sloop coming up on her starboard side.
for his attention was directed to a tug
with a string of barges in tow coming
down the river.
Sufficient allowance had not been made
for the tide, for the sloop was carried
by it directly toward the ferryboat's star
board paddlewheel. and it was soon evil
dent to Larsen, flanders and Sands that
a collision was unavoidable. They shout
ed and tried TO change their course.
They were not heard aboard the ferry
boat. They put the sloOp about so that
she drifted broadside under the ferry
boats high overhanging deck about 10 feet
back of the paddle wheel. AS she struck
the Columbia the slOOp was overturned.
Just before the crash, however, the three
men each seized one of the iron braces
running from the ferryboat's hull 10 her
deck and swung themselves clear of the
Mollie, which filled with water and then
righting herself. rapidly drifted astern.
Larsen. flanders and Sands drew them
selves up on the braces, and with their
feet in the angle between the braces and
the hull they were comparatively safe al
though their feet and legs were wet in the
wash made by the wheel. Unmindful of
his unremuneratiye. though unwilling.
passengers, the ferryboat's pilot kept on
toward his Grand Street pier.
When near the middle of The river TWO
men in a rOwbOat noticed the men hang
ing on 10 the braces, and hailed the pilot.
After much gesticulating they made him
understand that there was something
wrong below decks. and he stopped the
Columbia Then the men rowed in and
took off the three men, landing them at d
pier between Grand and Delaney Streets.
Wet and bedraggled they climbed up the
side of the dock and met Policeman Popp.
of the Delaney Street station. who
thought there was something suspicious
about them and took them 10 the sta
ton They told their story. and having
satisfied the police that they were all
right they were let go
The Mollie drifted in at the foot of East
Twentieth Street half an hour after the
accident. and was taken in charge by the
police of the East Twenty-second Street
station.

More Than n Score Drowned in the
South Atlantic Storm.

Brunswick, Ca, Sept. 12-Postmaster
w. F. Synrbnss of Brunswick reached
| home last night after three days search
along the Alfalfa coast for evidence of
the safety of the schooner John II. Platt,
Ives, master, which sailed from New
York for Brunswick in the latter part of
August. He brought back the news Of
the loss of the vessel, and his son was
lost with her
With Mr.. Symons in the search was
Captain Townsend. brother of Townsend,
the master of the schooner Jesse c.
| Woodruff. Wreckage was found showing
that the Woodruff has also been lost. Not
a person on either vessel was saved, aad
il is known that twenty-five lives were
lost III the terrible storm of August 80
and 81.
In addition to the crews and the mas
ters there were six passengers. The
Woodruff lost crew of eight, including
Captain Townsend. The Platt lost crew
of eight including Captain Ives, and Ill
addition to these the wife of Captain
Ives. his father and Captain Ives family
of three children were drowned.
On board as an extra passenger was tha

The Platt was last seen in company with
the Sarah ID. Rawson. She was lying
over to one side and her masts were
dragging in the water No vessel could
live many minutes in that position, and a
tremendous wave soon washed her out OF

on board, and 1t is known that all were
in the forecastle and cabin.
Pieces of wreckage of the Platt were
recorded TO have come ashore at Hilton's

there today and view them for himself.
His friend and himself have given up all
hope, however, and are certain that the
Platt will never be seen again.

ing information about our consuls in
foreign parts. He says that one young
man whom he knew was appointed TO
consulate because he had run through
fortune Of fifty thousand dollars. and
had no business ability of any sort
whatever. His friends explained to the
President that the poor fellow had to
be provided for somehow. Another
young man paid court to the daughter

Figures That Lie.

The whitewash newspapers are MAX
ing their last stand behind a breast
work of false figures. The adage that
nothing lies like figures has inspired
them to retreat To this last resort of
the mercenary whose heart is not in the
cause for which he fights. 1t was the
method applied by General Boynton
whose figures We're scattered by the
damning testimony Of competent wit
nesses who had personal knowledge of
TIE crimes the whitewasheTs deny At
first they assumed there was an army
of three hundred thousand men. They
took the number Of deaths-less than
half the real number in the case of
General Boynton's report-and offered
the percentage Of deaths to troops as
a refutation of the facts. They have
been forced to knock off third of the
imaginary army, but they still pursue
their former method. They assert that
the total deaths in an aggregate of two
hundred thousand soldiers do not war
rant the fuss that has been made.
There have been almost no deaths in
General Lees army. There have been
virtually no deaths at Camp Black. at
Camp Meade and at the scores of
camps in the States from which many
of the troops have never been removed
Nearly all the deaths have occurred in
the few camps that are known TO be
infected. Suppose among the three
million people of Greater New York
not single death should be recorded
in a day, but in Washington there
should be five hundred deaths If we
should then add the population of
Washington to that of New York in
order to get the percentage of deaths.
would that prove that WaShingtons s
death rate was not high enough to de-
serve attention? That is exactly what
the whitewash newspapers do in order
to convince the public that the deaths
in Camp Alger and Camp Thomas are
not excessive.
There should have been almost no
fatalities in any camp. There was no
reason why an army composed of
healthy young men, who passed an ex-
acting physical examination. should die
when put into the open air They did
not begin to die until starvation and
unwholesome water and a contaminated
atmosphere. along with sleeping on the
damp ground, gave them their death
warrant. Our young men have gone
into State camps every year, and with
impunity.
The chief mortality has been in an
army Of less than seventy-five thou
sand. What sense is there in including
the forty thousand troops who were at
Camp Thomas for a few weeks before
the infection, and who were removed
without the loss of any Of their num-
ber, when we calculate the percentage
of deaths from typhoid fever which de-
veloped later?
Unfortunately for the whitewash bri-
gade. there are two reports from Camp
Thomas that scatter their delusive fig
ures, and these reports are sustained
by the statements of officers who were
there. The whitewashers are in des-
perate straits, and are hardly less con-
demned by an indignant people than the
incompetents and criminals they are
trying to defend.

FIVE CERTAINLY DEAD.
More Victims of the Philadelphia
Gasoline Explosion.

Philadelphia. Sept. 12.-Five persons are
now known to have been killed in the
explosion that blew up the buildings Nos.
1872, I4.4 and 1446 South Street last night
The list of dead so far as known is as
follows:
Samuel Schattenstein. aged sixty; Albert
Schattenstein, aged nineteen: Thomas
Goldberg. an infant; a ten-year-old girl
supposed to be Becky Schattensrein, and
an unknown woman.
The injured are: Abraham Schatten-
stein, aged nine lacerated scalp. condi-
ton critical: Yeta Goldberg, aged nine,
lacerated forehead and confusion of the
back not serious: a. c. Fish, fireman on
truck c. decorations of back and foot;
Rose Schattenstein, aged five; Harry
Rothermel, twelve years laceratiOn of the
head: Sarah Goldberg, fourteen, lacerat-
ed scalp; May Healy, siXty-five years:
Emmie McPhilemey, forty years: Mrs.
Maggie Goldberg. thirty-two years; Louis
Schattenstein, aged twelve; Elias Allen.
Albert Bertler and c. a. Gattsman.
The search for bodies was not begun
until nearly 10 o'clock this morning. and
the charred remains of what appeared
TO be a woman's form were found within
d feW minutes III Is supposed tnat sew
eral other bodies are in the ruins. but no
definite report of any missing persons
had been made up to the time that the
clearing away of the debris was begun.
The force of the explosion, as shown
by the awful wreckage, was seen today
to be terrific. William McDevitt. inspec
tor for the fire patrol. thinks that some
one went down in the cellar of Samuel
Schattensteins store. at 144 South
Street, where gasoline and coal oil were
kept, and ignited a light which caused
the explosion.
1t is impossible as yet to obtain cor
rect list of the dead. There are all sorts
of rumors in circulation. Some place the
number of dead at fifteen. There are
ten or twelve persons WHO are reported
missing.

One of the inexplicable features of the
trouble in the War Department is the
reluctance which the department has
shown to accept private aid. The most
striking instance of this is in the case
of the New York hospitals, which imme-
diately on the arrival of the troops at
MOntauk offered their services to the
Government. The Presbyterian Hospital
offered thirty beds, and for weeks not Il
man was sent there. Roosevelt Hospital
offered thirty eight beds. which We're
filled by patients sent there by the Red
Cross Society. The New York Hospital
offered one entire ward of forty beds. and
the offer was ignored for weeks. Belle
vue agreed TO take all the soldiers who
were sent there. 1t received nearly two
hundred, but half of these walked in of
their own accord or were sent by friends.

To the Editor of The Times:
l beg your indulgence for few lines relative
TO the personnel of the Peace Commission As
is well known, the late was fought by Amer
icans-even rabid Republican papers rejoiced in
the fact that there no North, South. East,
or West, and Republicans, Democrats, or
Populists, but, instead, Americans. But it fell out
that not a Southern regiment was ordered to the
front until the outrage of the thing was seen
and discovered by the President. Mr. Bryan was
snubbed on all sides and is held for fear he
will njure the Republican cause. The proposed
peace jubilee in Chicago was gotten up as a
Republican love feast, and only great and wide
spread pressure able to force an invitation
for the head of the Democratic party to be
present And the Peace Commission is
made up and not Democrat Or Southern man is
the same, for Senator Gray is not a Demo-
crat He aided in the election of Mr.. Mckinley
and can more be styled regular Dem ,crat''
than can Senator Teller be called Republican.
Hence the Democratic party has no representa-
tion on the Peace Commission, and the grand,
glorious so-called American is down at last
to a mean little partisan effort to kill the DEM
ocratic party. But all this will be as a boomer
ang, and will kill Mr. Mckinley and his party
surely, for this is country where fair play wins
and the people will not tolerate such partisan
methods to the exclusion Of the great Demo.
