Romero, the Mexican minister, hurriedly returned to Washington Saturday from the Pan-American excurulon. His visit is in connection with the alleged protest ot his goverome.it against the presentation speech at Costa Rica of United States Minister Mizner to the Central American states. That part of the speech to which objection appears to have arisen Is as follows: "The states of Central America must unite. A strong Federal government is your only salvation. Colombia is massing her troops on the southern border of Costa Rica. Mexico has a covetous eye on Guatemala. It will be only a short time before Columbia will seek to seize your stato, and Mexico will seize Guatemala. Central America will be blotted from the map of independence, and her identity sunk in that of Columbia and Mexico. The time is drawing near, and only the most en-i-getic action in federating Cen tral America can save your freedom." CtaOAOO, Nov. 4—Dr. Cronin's Clan-na- Gael friends, who are preparing to add to the prosecution fund by means of the annual Irish Manchester martyr celebration to be held Nor. 28, heard the report of their committee yesterday afternoon at the Grand Par clfic hotel.

Cresson, the fugitive cashier of the Tradesmen's National bank of Conshohocken, has taken another turn and the directors say the bank will be reopened in a few days and all claims paid in full. On Saturday they explored the contents of Creeson's private box in the vault and found $75,000 worth of life insurance, all in force, two mortgages for $2,000, stock in the Good Brothers' iron works to the value of $2,000, and $1,000 worth of stock in the Spring Garden Farmers' Market oompany of Philadelphia. They have entered suit against him as a fugitive for $80,000, and under this will attach every dollar of his personal effects.

Washington, Nov. 4—The annual report of Secretary Rusk, of the department ot agriculture, and the first issued under the newly constituted department, has just been made public. The secretary anticipates a portion of his plan of reorganization in the estimates for the forthcoming fiscal year— $1,359,000. He says that the aggregate sum asked tor in his estimates must not be measured by what is past. A striking contrast is drawn between this amount and the appropriations for agriculture made by those countries which the report says "are the most active competitors of American farmers in the world's market. A comparison shows t/hat Great Britain appropriated for agriculture $1,600,000; Germany, 12,850,000; Brazil, $20,000,000 for agriculture and mines; France, 18,000,000, and Austria more than $4,000,000. Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 4.—Sheriff Reynolds and W. A. Holmes, while taking eight Apache Indians and one Mexican to Yuma penitentiary, were killed by their prisoners four miles from Riverside. Eugene Middleton, the dtoner of the stage line, was driving at the time, and was shot in the right side of the face, the ball coming out near the top of the head. Another shot took effect in his cheek. He walked back to Riverside to give the alarm. It is believed that the prisoners were assisted by the Indians on the reservation. Troops from Forts Apache, Lowell, Grant, McDowell and San Carlos have started in pursuit. Queenstown, Nov. 4.—A barmaid for his bride. This is the choice made by Maurice Dupont, a member of the Dupont fam"y of Wilmington, DeL, famous the world over for the powder which bears its name. The fair maiden who has captured young Dupont's heart and fortune is Miss "Tottie" Fitzgerald, a local beauty and barmaid at the Queen's hotel. New Yokk, oh Board the City or Paris, Oct 28.—The Kev. T. De Witt Talraage, D. D., of Brooklyn, on his embarkation for the Holy L*nd, by the steamer City of Paris, addressed his millions of friends through the press, taking for his text Acts xx, 88: "And they accompanied him unto the ship." His sermon is printed below at full length.

Pray for my successful journeying and my safe return.upon the wire it was killed. The driver waa badly shocked, as was also Police Sergeant McDonaled, who undertook the investigation! Forty-five hundred dollars' worth of Insurance is on the endowment plan, and will mature in March. All of the insurance but the $15,000 in Mrs. Creeson's favor will be converted into cash. The director*! hope to realise (25,000 at the lowest possible calculation out of the assets which they discovered Saturday. Execution has been issued on Btate Treasurer Harts' C15,000 judgment to cover the amount of state funds deposited in the bank, and all of Creason's property, with the exception of his gas and electric light stock, is practically in the hands of the directors of the bank. The directors intend depositing in the bank 950,000 so as to avert the necessity of smusing the stock, and reopening for business in a manner calculated to re-establish confidence In the concern. On June 1 the Cunard steamer Etruria landed young Maurice Dupont at Queenstown. He was accompanied by his brother, L. C. Dupout, and his aunt, with several of her children. Naturally they stopped at the Quoen's hotel, which overlooks the bay and ia always in the sunshine when the sky is clear. "Tottie" at once attracted the attention of the two brothers. Augusta, Me, Nov. 4.—A dastardly attempt at train wrecking was discovered here last night As a fast train on the Maine Central was nearing a sharp curve, a loaded freight car which had been pushed from a siding and the brakrs set, waa found on the main track. Two tramps who bad been put off at Watervilla are su spected. A Fortunate Escape. No Trouble Apprehended. Senor Komerosaid last evening that United States Minister Mizner's utterances will not occasion an international dispute and that the affair has all been satisfactorily settled. Minister Romero has lately received a oopy of The Diario Official, the official organ of the Mexican government, of Oot. 20. Ia that paper is published the official correspondence which has grown out of the Mizner incident, the series of letters being concluded by one from Secretary Blaine of Oet. II, which, translated and given out by Senor Romero, refers to the objectionable remarks as follows:"That's right," said P. O. O'Connor, "fourflf thx of the Irish people are so mystified that they believe there was justification in the murder of Dr. Cronin and that he was a spy. The man we know to be responsible for his murder, and who has long been the plunderer and spoilsman of his people, is their demigod. The Irish people can't believe that this uncrowned king of 15,000,000 people can be guilty of such a crime, and they look upon us with contempt for prosecuting patriots who they believe put to death spies. These men who have gone to Ireland know what they «re about and they will get aid, either of a sentimental or a financial kind, to buy the acquittal of the tools of the arch fiend." The Sudden Attack. The sheriff had removed the shackles from the legs of six of the Indians and started to walk them up a heavy sand grade. They were handcuffed together by the wrists In sets of two, their outer hands being free. Sheriff Reynolds was in front of the column and Deputy Holmes and the Mexican prisoner were in the rear. At a signal from one of the Indians the sheriff was seized by the two Indians immediately back of him, while the two Indians immediately in front of the deputy wheeled about and secured his gun, with which, after killing him they shot the sheriff, who was being hold by their companions.Love at First Sight. The Beggs Letters Identified. Maurice was clearly smitten at first sight, for, after two weeks' sojourn, the family left for England, but Maurice contrived to separate himself from the rest of the company and returned to practice before "TottieV bar. He was a constant visitor at the hotel, and finally iron her heart. Dupont made her several very handsome presonts, and, together, they went to shops in Cork where they purchased over £300 worth of wedding trousseau. The bans were published and as soon as her dremee could bo made they went to the church and were married. Chioaqo, Nov. 4.—The sensation of the day in the trial of the Orooio conspirators vm furnshed by Spellman, who when placed on the witness ttand, identified the Beggs letters His i testimony created considerable excitement in the court room and the most strenuous C fforts on the part of the opposing counsel failed to weaken it. Pleuro-Pneumonla Decreasing. The subject of agricultural organizations Is dwelt upon earnestly, their astonishing growth during- the past few years being cited as strong evidence of the growth of the spirit of self help among the farmers. The farmers' institutes are referred to particularly as one of the greatest movements in the history of agriculture and as the strongest lever for raising and upholding the work of superior agricultural education represented by our system of agricultural colleges and experimental statious. The secretary recommends, without going into details, that the department should be empowered to afford aid and encouragement to this work. Secretary Blaine's Letter. "The impropriety and imprudent character of the remarks referred to was noticed by this department when the speech was received, and instructions were sent to Mr. Uizner on the Bubject on Sept. 18, expressing sincere regret at his words, and the fear that they would receive an erroneous interpretation, to which, unfortunately, they were liable, and which, as noticed by your letter, has been given them by the Mexican government. Knowing the history of the relations of mutual intimacy and confidence which it has been the constant purpose of this government to maintain with Mexico, as well as with other nations, it hardly appears necessary for me to assure you, and through you the government which you represent, that the remarks of Mr. Mizner, which implied an officious and partial disposition on the part of this government, were wholly unauthorized, and that they occasion sincere regret to this government, and are disapproved by if DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. I wish on the eve of departure to pronounoe a loving benediction upon all my friends in high places and low, upon congr» g&tlons to whom my sermons are read in absence of pastors, upon groups gathered out on prairies, and in mining districts, upon all 1 sick and invalid and aged ones who cannot attend churches, but to whom I have long administered through the printed page. My next sermon will be addressed to you from Borne, Italy, for I feel like Paul when he saidi ''So, as muoh as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Roms •bo." The fact is that Paul was ever moving about on land or sea. He was an old sailor—not from occupation, but from frequency of travel. 1 think he could have taken a vessel across the Mediterranean as well aa some of the ship captains. The sailors never scoffed at him for being a "land lubber." If Paul's advios had been taken, the orew would never have gone ashore at Melita. • PAUL OH THE OCEAN. When the vessel went scudding under bare poles Paul was the only self possessed man on board, and, turning to the excited crew and despairing passengers, he exclaims, in a voice that sounds above the thunder of the tempest and the wrath of the ssa: "Beof good cheer." The men who no w go to sea with maps, and charts, and modern oompass, warned by buoy and lighthouse, know nothing of the perils of ancient navigation. Horace said that the man who first ventured Cn the sea must havs had a heart bound with oak and triple braw. People then ventured only from headland to headland, and from island to island, and not until long after spread their sail tor a voyage across the sea. Before starting, the weather was watched, and the vessel having been hauled up on the shore, the mariners placed their shoulders against the stern of the ship and heaved it off—they, at the last moment, leaping into it Vessels were theu chiefly Bhips of burden— the transit of passengers being the exception; for the world was not then migratory, as in our day, when the first desire of a man in one place seems to be to get into another place. The ship from which Jonah was thrown overboard, and that in which Paul was carried prisoner, went out chiefly with the idea of taking a cargo. As now, so then, vsesali were accustomed to carry a flag. In those times it was inscribed with the name ot a heathen deity. A vessel bound for Syracuse had on it the inscription, "Castor and I Pollux." The ships were provided with anchors. Anchors were of two kinds—those I that Were dropped, into the ssa, and those that were thrown up on to the rocks to hold the vessel fast This last kind was what Paul alluded to when he said: "Which hope we have as aa anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that with 'in the veil." That was what the sailors call a "hook anchor." The rocks and sand bars, shoals and bsadlands not being mapped out, .▼■sells carried a plumb line. They would droplt and find the water fifty fathoms, and drop it again and find it forty fathoms, and drop it again and flnd it thirty fathoms, thus discovering their near approach to the shore. In the spring, summer and autumn ths Mediterranean eea was white with the wings of ships, but at the first wintry blast they hied themselves to the nearest harbor; although now the world's commerce prospers in January as well as in June, and in midwinter all over the wide and stormy deep there float palaces of light, trampling ths billows under foot and showering the sparks ot tfrrible furnacee on the wild wind; and the Christian passsnger. tlppeted and shawled, sits under the shelter of the smokestack, looking off upon the phosphoreeoent deep, on which is written in scrolls of foam and Ore: "Thy way, O God, Is in the ssa, and thy path in the great waters P' | It is in thbee days of early navigation that II see a group of men, women and children on the beach Of the Mediterranean.

Brownwood, Tex., Nor. 4.—The southbound Santa Fe passenger train, consisting of five coaches and two baggage can, was wrecked Sunday three miles south of Brownwood. The two rear chair cars ware thrown down a fifteen foot embankment, Imiilng bottom up. They were full of passengers, who were piled together with the chairs lying on top of them. They scream *"• help, and the windows had to bo lU'Uikt open to get them out. One of the coach* caught fire three times, but the flames wart promptly extinguished. | Near Brownwood, Tex. Dismasted by a Storm Glasgow, Nov. 4 —The steamship Mani. toba, from Phi'adelphia, arrived here this morning, with mast gone and otherwise disabled. She had been severely buffeted about by a severe gale three days out. The wind is reported as having been terrific and the ser. to have run very high. They Shot the Driver Twice. During the melee the Mexican prisoner ran forward to the stags, which was about forty yards to the front, and warned the driver, Middleton. The latter drew his pistol, but was shot twice by the Indians. Newspaper Hen Forlorn. 1; Mr. and Mrs. Dupont left at once for Dublin, en route for Switzerland, where they will sp?nd several months before returning to New York. It is said that "Tottio's" education will be improved during her stay in Switzerland before she is presented to Amorican society. Every man, woman and child in Queenstown speaks kindly and respoctfully of her—of her virtue, youth and boauty. She received a great many presents. "Tottle" was especially well known and respected by the New York newspaper men in London, may of whom will no doubt feel hurt that they were not invited to her wedding. Among the archives of the Queen's hotel are letters from several of these gentlemon addressed to "Tottle," some of them couched in very appreciative terms. About a hundred of the Clan-na-Gael enemies of Dr. Cronin attended an open meeting In McCoy's hotel yesterday afternoon for the purpose of raising a defense fund for the men now on trial. Money to the amount of ♦876 was subscribed and a committee appointed to solicit subscriptions. Arrangements were also made for the Manchester martyr celebration in Central Music hall, the proceeds of which will be turned over to the treasurer of the fund. After securing the keys to the shackles, and removing them the Indians mutilated the body of Reynolds by crushing In the skull In a horrible myner. The Mexican prisoner, after he had warned Middleton, ran towards the hills. He was fired at several timss but not hit. After the Indians had left he seeured a horse and rode him Into Florence and gave himself up. Office Holders Go Home to Tote* New York, Nov. 4.—Lirge exoduses of voters from Washington are reported, the largest in several years. It is estimated that 260 have gone to Ohio, and 600 to Maryland. Pleuro-pneumonia naturally is first noticed, the situation being regarded as most encouraging. This disease is now effectually under control and restricted to Kings and Queens counties in New York state, to Now Jersey and a limited section in each of the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland. A careful review of the field, together with the arrangements made for the supervision of the limited districts still infected, justify, in the secretary's opinion, "the most sanguine hopes" in regard to the proximate complete eradication of the disease. National Meat Inspection. T. P. Jones, of Belleville, 111a., waa left at Zephyr in a dying condition. Mrs. Henry Mason, Austin, and Alexander Stargis, of Friedland, are two of thoae fatally Injured. A second lady, whose name is not known, was also fatally hurt Most of the wounded are from San Antonio, Caldwell and Dallas, Texas. A broken rail is said to have caused the accident. Freight Trains Derailed. Crimes of the Red Men. DROWNED IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS. Schodaok, N. Y., Nov. 4.,—Seven freight cars were derailed near here last night on the Hudson River railroad. Nobody was hurt. A collision caused it Money by tjie Million. It is thought that as the sheriff of Pinal county and his Florence posse are nine hours behind the murderers there is little prospect of the latter being captured. Three of the Indians were sentenced for the shooting of A1 Sleber, the chief of scouts at the San Carlos reservation on June 20: one for the murder of a freighter, and the others for the killing of another Indian. Captain Bartow and His Wife Find a Washington, Nov. 4.—Edward O. Leech, the director of the mint, in his annual report for the fiscal yc*r ending June 30, 1889, reports the coinage at the mints during the year as follows: Gold coins in value, $25,- 548,910; silver dollars, $83,793,860; subsidiary silver, $131,680, and miner coins, $906,473k Total, $60,965,939. In addition to this gol£ bars valued at $32,241,131 and silver bars valued at $6,709,346 were manufactured at the mints. Gold bars were exchanged for gold coin, principally at the assay office at New York, during the year, mainly for export, of the value of $37,507,812. The profit on the coinago of Bilver dollars and subsidiary coin during the year was $9,403,049. The total coinage of silver dollars under the Bland act up to the first of the present month was $343,638,001. Gold imports during thk year amounted to $10,372,145, and exports to $60,033,346. Silver imports amounted to $24,- 683,380, and exports $36,716,783. These figures show a loss to the United States by excess of exports over imports of gold $49,661,- 101; silver $12,034,403. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 4.—The schooner Flora Rogers, which rescued the mate and four of the crew of the waterlogged schooner Jennie Rosaline, from Savannah for Providence, Oct. 25, was off Charleston harbor yesterday, and the rescued mariners were brought here in a tug. Their names are: Mate Frank Maxson, of Baltimore; James A Runney, of St John; A A Prickery, of New York; M Hiffron, Birkenhead, England, and George Smith, of Norway. Watery Grave Together.

Friends' be wise; The Plesent Pillets Made by Dr. Pierce procure, And they'll bring you back the sunshine Of good health, you msy be sure. The language used by Secretary Rusk in regard to a national meat inspection law is pointed and vigorous. The necessity for inspection at time of slaughter, he says, is first to enable the authorities to promptly locate any cattle disease centers, and secondly to avoid the anomaly of leaving the inspection of our own meat products to the officials of other countries, thus giving foreign governments some show of reason for the claim that they have better opportunities for learning of diaeaee among American cattle thau are enjoyed by our own government He Three Men Were Killed and Two Fatally Injured. Oswegoviixe, N. Y., Nov. 4.—By the explosion of a boiler at Phelps' sawmill and gristmill, near Frenchburg Friday, three men lost their lives and two others were seriously, perhaps fatally wounded. TORTURED BY BURGLARS. Letters from Stanley. Terrible Ordeal to Which a Hnsbaad London, Nov. 4.—Mr. Mackinnon, the organizer of the expedition to relieve Emil Pacha, has received the following dispatch from 2?n7.ibar: "Letters have been received from Stanley dated Victoria Nyansa Aug. 29. With him were Emin, Casati, Marco, a Greek merchant; Osman Effendi Hassan, a Tunisian apothecary; Stairs, Nelson, Jephson, Parke and Bonuy. Eight hundred people accompany him toward Mpwapwa.

The engineer's head waa cut smoothly off from his body, while the fireman waa cut in two about the middle of his body. John Phelps, son of the proprietor of the mill, was also killed, and Mr. Phelpa himself had his skull crushed in and waa otherwise badly injured. The house in which the waa located was wrecked. Hume, Mo., Not. 4.—One of the most savage crimes on record in this section of Missouri was committed at Jack cross roads, six miles south of here. Burglars entered the residence of Jasper James about 10 o'clook and demanded that he tell them where he had hidden his savings. This he refused to do, and failing to bring James to terms the robbers attempted to terrorize his wife, but were unsuccessful. Becoming convinced that threats would not work, the thieves tied the husband and wife together back to hack. They repart that the gale caught them on Oct 35, north of Hatteras. They were driven to the Gulf Stream, and main and mixzenmasts were carried away. Capt Bartow and wife were swept overboard and drowned in each other's arms. The mate and throe of the crew were washed over the side but caught ropes and saved themselves. The colored steward was crushed to death beneath the main boom. He belonged to Savannah. The captain and wife were from Long Island. The rescued men praise the coolness and courage of the officers and crew of the Flora Rogers, who rescued them at great personal peril.

The director estimates the consumption of gold and silver in the United State* in the industrial arts for the fiscal year to have been: Gold, $16,000,000; silver, $8,000,000. The product of gold and silver in the United States for the calendar year 1888 he reports as follows: Gold, (33,195,000; silver, com mercial value, $43,000,000; coining valtra, $59,195,000. The product of the world for that year was: Gold, $103,994,150; (liver, commercial value, $103,556,000; coining value, $142,439,150. Bach in turn waa pricked with pins and burned about the head and faoe with matches. Finally Ur. James fainted from the terrible treatment to which he had been subjected. The suffering wife, believing that her husband was dead and that her life would also be taken unless she gave her assailants the information sought, told tka thieves where $400 was concealed. The robbers secured the booty, untied their victims and departed. Mrs. James labored for some time to resuscitate hsr husband, and when she had restored hlnXjto consciousness she fell exhausted to the floor and died shortly afterwards. Jamee is (15 years old, and his wife was only two years younger.  ' Sheep and wool receive special consideration in the report. The growth of the mut[ton interest is referred to as one to be greatly encouraged. As to wool growing the reduction of the tariff in 1883 is earnestly deplored in the report To it is attribtod the great reduction in the number of sheep which has since then fallen off by about 7,000,000 head, while the importation of wool ,has increased from 78,350,651 pounds in 1884 to 136,487,729 pounds the past year. "On bohalf of this industry," says the secretary, "I 'commend these facts to you, and should they be submitted to congress I ask for them intelligent and careful consideration."
