Himself, Barrios and Zaldivar, of Salvador, made a compact to reconstruct the five states into 0110 republic, which failed through the treachery of Zaldivar, as is already known, and resulted in a declaration of war against the latter by Barrios. With the death of Barrioa foil all. hopes of Central American patriots in Honduras. Barrios was actuated in the movement by a patriotic sentiment of restoring the old republic of 1838, and not through ambition of becoming dictator of the united country. His patriotism was sincere anl he had no hope of becoming presid3nt of the Union. Regarding Admiral Jouett's statements Mr. Bogran said Barrios was too much of an American to seek European allies. the Five Republics. THE ANGLO-RUS8IAN PEACE NEGO- Louisville, May 15.—The eleventh annual Kentucky derby was run over the Louisville jockey club track in the pre sence of 16,000 spectators. The sky was cloudless and the air warm yet breezy. Although there were four races, popular excitement centered in the third, the derby. Over (150,000 was bet in the auction pools and -,ooks on the ground on this event alone. J Miscellaneous Items, WHAT POSTMASTER GENERAL VILAS' CIRCULAR MEANS. Richmond, May IB.—Dr. William n.

London, May 16.—There are persistent and widespread rumors of a hitch in the negotiations for peace between England and Russia. The rumors have arisen since the arrival of Mr. Condie Stephen with dispatches from Sir Peter Lumaden," and they are strengthened by hints in Mr. Gladstone's organ .The Daily News, that these dispatches fully prove the aggressive character of Russia's military movements both before and since the attack upon the Afghans on the Kushk river. A degree of confirmation for the rumors is also found in the care with which Lord Granville, in the house of lords last Tuesday, corrected the impression that a temporary arrangement had been completed, and explained that the agreement had only been pat in shape for submission to Russia. On the same day Mr. Gladstone took pains Co explain to the house of commons that the Russian ambassador had not acted plenipotentiary in regard to the agreement, but had merely forwarded it to Russia, giving It his support. There are also certain signs of a renewal of activity by the war and admiralty offices, which lend a color to the belief that peace is hot yet assured. These things at least indicate that the government does not want the country to believe that the danger of war is past, but it must be borne in mind that the budget has yet to be pushed through the house of commons, and very recent experience has shown that there is no way more certain to put the house iiito a giving mood than to create the belief that there is a fight in prospest. '. Williams' colt Joe Cotton, by King Alfonso out of Inverness, was conceded the stake by the sporting fraternity, but there was much uncertainty, and the result prdVed that Cotton might have been beaten by gcod riding by Bersan, the crack of Morris & Patton's stable. In the betting Cotton was sold nearly even against the field. There were tsn starters, and they got away at the first trial for the mile and a half journey. Cotton and Bersan and the latter's stable companion were together in thfe last of the group. After half a mile Favor rushed out, ook the track and made the running within naif a mile of home, when Cotton challenged him and was in turn challenged by Ueran. Bersan's jockey started the run a rifle late. Both horses were Whipped home x'or the last eighth of a mile and Bersan steadily crawled up, cutting Cotton's lead down inch by inch. Cotton went under the wire a short neck first. Fifty feet more of running would have beaten him. The time —2:87V—is half a second slower than the best Derby time. New York, May 15.—A Washington special to The Sun says: Postmaster General Vilas' confidential letter to Ohio and Virginia congressmen about the appointment of postmasters, which has found its way into print, is the most positive and significant utterance that has come from tho new administration. The president was CyD-i-~-l*-C"l betore the letter was sent out. and -i- D C. its approval to Col. Vilas' scheme lor a peeiy turning out of partisan officeholders, it is particularly significant because tho discontent that has apparently escaped notice heretofore is officially recognized in the letter. "I shall beg you, therefore,"ahe says, "to consider the suggestions I make as to he methods of procedure, and, if you can, adopt them and get some cases ready within the next two or three weoks. I think within the month I can give substantial relief that will take away the importunity and discontent."Nbw York, May IS.—A Chicago special to The World says: Col. Morrison bus retired from the senatorial contest. The favor which he craved, the full party vote on the joint ballot, was thrice accorded him. Speaker Haino3 and Representatives Streeter and Mulhearn, the Democratic caucus rebote, fell into line and reluctantly voted for him v. ith the explanation that they did so merely cut of consideration for the administration at Washington. When Mr. Morrison, upon securing the 101 Democratic votes in the assembly, failod to get tho noedsd Republican rewnforoemont of two, which ho has constantly claimed was awaiting hi3 call, liis name was formally withdrawn. Tho Republican members did not participate in the balloting, Weaver not having been seated. Logau and his friends remained in excellent spirits until Morrison surrendered. Then they grew apprehensive, and -.rhen the Democrats, on the sixth subsequent ballot, gave Judge Lambert Tree, of Chicago, 89 votes, the Logati people began to show visible signs of weakening. The unexpected change in the Democratic programme, before the newly elected member from the Thirty-fourth district could be seated, has filled Logan's supporters with dread lest Charley Far well has combined with the Mike McDonald machine to elect Tree before the Republican majority can be organized. The appearance of Tree as a candidate narrows the situation and establishes tlie attachment of the judge to the Harrison-McDonald-Mackin clique. The latter gentlemen between them almost completely control the 17 Cook county members, the largest delegation in the assembly and the force which doteated Col. Morrison by withholding support from him early in the fight. With Farwell'i permission Haines also is at their bidding. Farwell and Tree are on the best of terms, and between the Farwell class of Republicans and the McDonald gang there has long existed an amiable fellowship. Jackson Lol'.on, assistant city engineer, u.u ne was at the reservoir on the morning of the 14th of March. There were tho tracks of two perjojs frc.m the hole in the fence to the embankmont. One was made by a large ihoo with a flat heel. The other track was imall and w as made by a woman. He traced both the tracks from the hole in tho fence to . he embankment, but oniy saw the larger of the tracks a'scending the bank. John Williams, about 11 years old, was questioned a. to tho nature of an oath, and, giving satisfactory answers, was examined. He testified that on Sunday, March IS, he and two other boys were at the reservoir, and that while koking through a hole in the f 'nc- he saw a cold watch key with a little ring attache i. He picked it up and took ft home and gave it to his father. The much talked of watch key was here shown to the boy and he said that was the key. It was also examine4 by the jury and the counsel for the defense. The Anthra 'te Mining bill was passed finally. Adjonrncd. The only foreign nation whose friendship' he desired was the United States. He was a friend of the Nicaragua canal, and regarded America as a generous nation whom the smaller states need not fear. Bogran looked to thj United States for the development of Central America, and would offer every inducement to its citizens iu the way of grants. Honduras desired to close a reciprocity treaty with the United States. At the afternoon session of the Senate, House bill was finally passed authorizing the tdmission of destitute childifen of facetted -oldiers to the Soldiers' Orpang' SchooHf on C»i if factory proof of death of such soldiers. There is method ' to, in the order of procedure indicated by the postmaster genotal which suggests that the power of patronage is pretty keenly appreciated by the administration. Thus Ohio and Virginia are tho earlieststatesto be.treated. Ohio is the first of tho states in which the administration is to stand the test of a fall election. The election there takes place in October, and the nominating conventions will meet in a month. Before that time, if the democratic leaders move promptly and do not quarrel, the party can be fortified. The Bituminous mining law. bill was made ■» special order for Tuesday afteraoea next Bonita, the 3-year-old fflly which won the Ladies' stakes, belongs to "Lucky" Baldwin, and is a California horse. IN TBI HOUSE. The Brooks bill to regulate the wile of intoxicating liquor was the pending business in be House this morning, the queation beiag in the amendment offered by Mr. Robinson, Df Delaware county, fixing the rate of liquor licarae at between $100 and $600, at the discretion of the Court of Quarter Sessions, ftiis waa adopted by a rote of 99 to 71. At the afternoon session the Speaker laid ■wfore the House a message from thq Senate tnnouncing the passage by that body of the Senatorial and Representative Apportionment nil, aad the House immediately proceeded to /ote upon that measure. Feeding announcement of the result, however, Mr. Qreen demanded that the biU be eat*, and then asset ted that there waa a rariat ce between the Representative section of ■lie bill aad the Representative Apportion■neut bill, aa it passed the House, in so far aa die county of Berks was concerned. AN AMERICAN CREW'S PERIL. First race—Louisville LaAtes' stake tor two-year-old fillies, dash of five furlongs. Bonita first, Pure Rye second, Vic third. Time, 1:04. Joseph It Mountcastle, a workman employed at tbe coal dock of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad wharves, below the city, testified that on the morning of March 14, in company with two othors, he found a bundle floating in the river. He got it ashore, opened it, and found it contained clothing. The bundle was like a sachel, fastened with leather straps. Subsequently he took it to the coroner. Witness was shown a bundle, and identified it as the one found. Ho stated that it was discovered about two miles below May o's bridge. (Mayo's bridge is a mile and a half from the reservoir.) Witness ■aid that when the bag was opened the clothing was taken out and dried, and then replaced. He saw a name on one piece of clothing, and some initials on another. He cculd not read, so he could not tell what they were.  Attacked by Patagoiiiuns—Taken Pris- oners by an Agent In a Man of War. Second race—Club purse of $400, mile and a quarter dash. W.

Jeffry, the first mate of tbo brig Charles  which has arrived here from Cuba, tells an interesting story of an attempt by himself a»J Capt. Cnilom and crew of tho brig Eliza Thompson to work some silver mines in Patagonia. . Third race—The Kentucky Derby, for three-year-olds; $100entrance, $1,500 added; mile and a half. Joe Cotton first, Bersan second, Ten Bocker third. Time, 2:87^. In Virginia there is to be a wenderfully hot campaign for the overthrow of Mahone. Nominations for governor will be made on both side j at an early day, and federal patronage will play an important part. Its loss will shatter Mahoue's strength, and its transfer to the Democrats will build up their organization. That the government is not above deliberate deception to further its ends for the moment is again strikingly demonstrated. Nearly a month ago The Central News, of London, ascertained and published the fact that immediately after the battle of March 80 ob the Kusbk river the Russians had pushed forward and occupied Penjdeh. This information was obtained from an official source, and bad been in possession of the government for at least five days. Its publication attracted universal attention, and caused such an outburst of indignation that the government deemed it necessary to break the force of the news by discrediting it as long as possible. The inspired Daily News lod the way by fiercely denying the truth of the report. On April 11 a question as to the reported occupation of Penjdeh was asked of the government in each house of parliament, and they were both answered in the negative, coldly and categorically by Mr. Gladstone, savagely and contemptuously by Lard Granville. Now that four weeks have elapsed the government apparently believes that the people have forgotten its tergiversation, and allows Reuter to publish an official telegram from India admitting that Penjdeh is on Russian territory, and is quite naturally and properly in Russia's possession. After they arrived in Patagonia, and had boen there a week, a band of natives attacked them with poisoned arrow s. The orew fought thom well and killed two of them. Throe weeks later a band of 30 natives attacked them again. "Before we could reach our guns," continues the mate, '"two of our sailors were pierced by the poisoned arrows. We had a sharp fight, killing a numbsr of the natives. Fourth race—Club purse of $500, all ages; mile beats. Monocrat first, Slocum second, Compensation third. Time, 1:44, 1:44X- National Jockey Club Races. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have not been overlooked, and the general changes in the post offices in those states will be made in time to aid the Democrats in the November contests. Politicians who come disposed to growl at the slowness with which thinC{8 are moving go away very well satisfied after a visit to the post office department. Gen. Vilas has been badly crippled by the protracted illness of First Assistant Postmaster General Hay, who look* especially after the small post offices. In consequence Mr. Vilas has had to take charge of the appointment of all the fourth-class postmasters, numbering about 50,000. Washington, May 16.—The third day's meeting of the National Jockey club opened totair weather. The track was in superb condition and the attendance larger than on previous days, fully 6,000 persons being present Tree's strength, although a mystery to the politicians, is easy of explanation. In the first stage of The Chicago Times litigation, following the demise of Mr. Story, the judge was Mrs. Stop's attorney. Mr. W. C. Goudy, his friend, was employed on the other side of the case, representing the parties in possession of the paper. Though many good lawyers thought Mrs. Story had tbo Letter legal grounds in the controversy, she was circumvented at every turn. Then rumors of the intimacy between the lawyers abounded, and she finally dropped her distinguished counsel. Moan while The Chicago Times was the only journal in the city to wink at the recently disclosed operations of the Harrison, McDonald and Mackin fine workers. It has really been friendly to all three of them and to their political agents, and if the adrninistra tion secures a Democratic supporter from Illinois in the United fci.atos senate, the debt will have to bo acknowledged, humiliating though it may seeiti, to that element of the Chicago Democracy which the president has thus far firmly ignored, for if Judge Tree is elected his success wiil be the result of his kindly offices in behalf of the Demo cratic element .described. The adrninistration, it is understood boil1, is not so friendly to Tree as it was to Morrison, a report which augments the efforts of the Judge's supporters on account of the spite they entertain against the president. Mike McDonald is at Springfield with his pockets full of money, it is said, for the purpose of buying up any disaffected Republican votes that may be found purchasable. Appropriation bills passed second reading «s follows: Four thousand dollan for the Industrial Home for Wind women; $10,000 tor ilie Union Home for old ladies, aad $16,- 000 for the Women's Hospital' of Philadelphia."Our wounded died in a short time.

The bill making an appropriation of $6,000 'or i he purpose of maintaining the Pennsylvania exhibit at New Orl-ans was discussed *nd the motion to postpone indefinitely was lefrsted, but without final action tho House aljournod. Appointments are now being made at the rate of 100 a day. Allowing eight hours of solid work each day, this would make about one appointment every five minutes. The clerical work necessary in each case cannot be done more expeditiously. Even at this raft of progress it will take many months tc fill all the offices. CoL Vilas' plan of filling one-sixth to one-quarter of the offices atones commends itself to a majority of the Democrats who come here. When the party is convinced that the administration Is thoroughly and earnestly Democratic there will be very little murmuring at the slowness with which changes are made. Fourth race—One mile, Greenfield won, Winston second. Time, (1:45%. Mutuals paid $20.10. A special from Battleford says: "CoL OtterV&outs have so far failed to find any trace of Poundmaker's trail, and it is thought he and his braves have gone to join Financial and Gomerolal. NEW YORK STOCK One New "Fork (iamblAr Shot by Another. New York, May 15.—"Larry" O'Brien, a well known politician and gambler, during an altercation on tha corner of Twentyseventh street and Broad way,was stabbed in the abdomen and probably fatally wounded by a gambler named George Truman, of 135 West Twentieth street. From what could bo learned of the affray, it appears that O'Brien and Truman had some words early in the evening concerning a gambling transaction. At 8:30 the two men met on the comer of Broadway, and Twenty-seventh street and during an altercation, Truman drew a large dirk knife with an eight-inch blade and stabbed O'Brien in the abdomen, inflicting a terrible wound. O'Brien then drew his revolver and fired two shots, both of which took effect, one in the right arm and the other in the back. Both men were taken to the New York hospital. The affray caused the greatest excitement on Broadway, where both men were well known. O'Brien is reported to be in a critical condition. Fifth race—Mile and a quarter, Lida Stanhope won, Hilarity second. Time, 2:11. Mutuals paid $19.55.

Tho French press here is silent on the victory, while the government organ foreshadows the policy of the cabinet by saying: "The victory is won at a cost which can never be repaid, and for which the lives of Kiel and his lieutenants will be but a poor compensation." Should Riel and any of his followers be executed a rising of the French on this ground would inevitably follow, as the great majority of the French sympathize with the rebels. New York, May 15.—The smallness of the attendance at Madison Square garden does not seem to affect the oonteatants in the least, as they go on their rounds with automatic regularity. The monotony of the pace is varied once in a while by a brash between O'Melia and Walton, who, having had mare rest than anyone else in the race, are enabled to show a much greater pace than the others. The men look comparatively fresh . for athletes who have traveled such a distance. The leader, Hnowden, is developing an ominous stoop. From present indications six men will get inside the limit of 800 miles, which entitles them to a share in the gate money. These are Snowden, W. Boyst, Haddocks, Schock, Francis and probably Harriman. London, May 16.—In the house of commons Mr. Gladstone was asked whether Russia had signified her approval of the agreement between Lord Granville, Baron de Steal and other English and Russian representatives, providing for a frontier convention. Mr. Gladstone replied that he did not know whether or not M. de Giers' decision in the matter had arrived in London. He further stated that negotiations between the two governments were still in progress, and the atest telegram from the east indicated that Russia was meanwhile observing the agreement not to make farther advances on the Afghan frontier.

Winnipeg, May 15. - Gen. Mi idleton's men are delighted at their suooesa, and the general says that they made the bayonet charge as well as regulars could have done. Jackson, RIel's secretary, who is among the recent prisoners taken, has been.found to be insane. Lord Meigund has arrived in Winnipeg from the field of battle and will proceed to Ottawa at onc6. He is the bearer of important din patches to the government from (Jen. Middle ton. Several of the wounded have been brought here. Laracque, a storekeeper, has been arrested for selling ammunition to the rebels, and will be tried on the charge. Gen. Middle ton has ordered the Fortyninth and Thirty-fifth regiments to re-enforce, and also the Winnipog troop of cavalry. Mitchell, the leading actor in Kate Claxton's company, now playing here, severed his connection, and is organizing a band of scouts to go to Gen. Middleton's assistance.'At the night session the most intense excitment prevailed, Judge Tree steadily increating in strength until he received the 101 Democratic votes of the joint ballot. A senfat Jon then occurred. When Senator Rugor. one of the defeated Republicans, voted for Logan, this action was regarded with susp'clon and Ruger has heretofore refused persistently to vote for ICogan, and that he should vote ior him now, when the Republicans are not participating in the session for fear the Democrats may secure a quorum, is considered clear evidonce of wrong-doing. If auothcr Republican can be induced to vote for Logan, Tree will bo elected. Two Republican vote3 would constitute the necessary quorum of 104, and all that Judge Tree would need would be 53 votes. Was the Kvldence Manufactured? London, May 15.—The testimony of Police Inspector Jarvis and CoL Majendie, which shows that the detonator found in Cunningham's trunk was not diacovered until after the trunk had been several days in the police station, and that it was not like those found at the Charing Cross railway station, induces a widespread belief that the detonator was placed in the trunk by the police. The friends of Cunningham are advising his counsel, Mr. Richards, to boldly adopt the theory that at least that portion of the evidence was manufactured by the police, thus casting a shadow of discredit on all the police testimony and creating a doubt in the minds of the jury, the benefits of which must be given to the prisoner. It is expected that the trial will be ended tomorrow.Baseball. Jersey Citt, May 15.—John A. Van Golder, receiving teller of the Union Natioar 1 bank, No. 34 Wall street, New York, has been missing since last Friday from his home, No. 86 Jones street, this city. The bank officers say his accounts are. all right, and that they received a note on Monday from a woman in Hoboken, who did not Bign her name, offering for a money payment to reveal Van Geliter's whereabouts; Before a messenger could reach the address given in the note the woman had left. Van Geldor wa3 temperate, and not of extravagant habits. His wife tliiuks his mind was affected by overwork, but others are less charitablo in their views.
