When resident Barrios issued his famous “union decree,” February 28th, he was certain of the alliance of Salvador and Honduras. His dear friend Zaldivar, of Salvador, menaced en. Bogran, of Honduras, and against his own ill the latter was compelled to adhere to the ecree. When Barrios issued this decree, the 28th of February, Zaldivar, of Salvador, sent him a dispatch which stated his tall andeom- plete concurrence In the decree and congratu- lated him on the certainty of the speedy reali- zation of his patriotie aspiration, It is possible that up to that moment Zaldivar tried to be sincere, but he soon discovered that the wealth- fer portion of his fellow-citizens were bitter against the union movement. He then began to think about retracing his steps and prepared for war. He enlisted the sympathies of Mexico, and entered into an al- liance with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Mean- while he burdened the wires with friendly mes- Sages to Barrios, and that chieftain, confident in the Integrity and honor of his life-long friend, uietly awaited information as to how his lecree was received by the outside world and by Nicaragua and Costa Rica, As far as the two latter powers were concerned, e was soon undeceived. They indignantly his movement and declared Ja, Then the slumbering lion was aroused, and Barrios ordered the march of his force to the frontier of Salvador; but up to the 9th of March he still confided in aldivar, While preparing to join forces Bar- rios received the famous menacing telegram from the Mexican president, He read it care- 1ully two or three times, ‘Those who were with him noticed that he seemed bewildered, for he passed his hand over his eye: eral times, as though he distrusted hi eyesight. He” then crushed _ the elégrani into his vest pocket and wrote a dispatch, which was immediately sent to Zal- divar, While waiting for an answer from the latter he walked rapidly up and down. the room. while his officers and ministers stood respect- fully by, but none dared to address hin last Zaldivar’s answer came. It breath ance and hatred, Barrios held the dispatch a moment in his hand, then threw it on the floor. stamped upon it, and sald: “Gentlemen, | Zaldi has played’ the traitor, He has jentered into an alliance with Mexico, aragua and Costa Lic His detection has complicated the problem. I must have | time ito deliberate with myself what to do. Please leave me for a few moments.” ‘The offi- cersand ministers left him, and he remained for two hours closeted with Barrundia, the minister of war, able that even the union movement was a sec ondary consideration with him, while ven- geance of Zaldiva became the ruling sentiment of his heart.

Waggaman was heard on demurrer—Messrs. Riddle and Miller for the District, and Messrs. W. F. Mat- tingley and Calla for defendant. This is an action on the bond of defendant as a real estate agent, which it is claimed has been forfeited for a non-compliance with the law, and it is re- garded as atest case, The license law requires the giving of @ bond conditioned to pay a per- centage on commissions earned by them, and the agents contest it on the ground that the re- quirement isin the nature of an income tax pon but one class of business, and was not within the charter powers conferred upon the District legislature’ by Congress, ‘They also claim that no annual license should be exacted, Hncoatise Congress in July, 1876, had before it munPhict edit} on Of the icense law, published by ‘direetion of the legislature, and tt by an error of the collector numbered the paragraph requiring a tax of real estate agents 35, Instead of 88, and reported it by number, and not by Kind of business, and the District officers acted for six years upon the sup} ‘ition that the li- cense tax on agents had been repealed, and finding the law had been repealed only in spirit, they proceeded to enforce it by requiring the riving of a bond before issuing s license. “Now the District brings sult.

A Question on Which Lawyers Differ— The Law and the Facts. A question has been raised in regard to the precise term of service of District Commissioner Edmonds. It is contended by some who insist upon applying a strict legal construction to the. section of the District organie act relating to Commissioners’ terms that the present presi dent of the board is now simply holding over without a fixed term, The law fixing the terms | of Commissioners is as follows : “The official term of said Commiss pointed from civil life shall be three ye until their successors are appointed and qu fled; but the first appointment shall be one Commissioner for one year and one for two years, and at the expiration of their respective terms their successors shall be appointed for three years.” Under this act Mr, Dent was appointed for one year from July, 1878. At the expir: that term he was appointed for three vears, to run from July, 1879, to July, ISS2. Mr. West was appointed as Mr. Dent's sticcessor his beginning July, 1882, and running to Jul 18585. So there is no ‘question about the regu? larity of that term. For the term of the other civil Commissioner, Mr. Phelps was appointed for two fi July Ist, 1878. His term leg: Di ly Ast, 1880, but in November, 157: resigned, and Major Morgan was appointed 10 sucesed him. Major Morgan held until March, when Mr. Edmonds sneeveded him. M. it Was asserted that Major Morgan comin: Mr. Phelps’ suc ye could ont: original appointment, serve ont the latter's un- expired term, which would have carried him to, July, 1880; but President Hayes got an opinion from Attorney General De that “Morgan's appointment. — ran along through the uyexpired portion — «¢ Phelps’ term, and ‘that a — reappoint- Ment for the’ lezal term beginning Jul Ist, 1880, was not necessary. This opit combatted by lawyers at the tim: quently the Devens opinior ently, regarded as good Was appointed and succeeded Major Morgan in Mareh, 1883, while the regular term, ¢ plated in the’ did not expire until J 883, That is, if Major Morgan's appointm entitled him to serve out the unexpired y tion of Phelps’ term and also toa reg for himself, his official life must ha: July Ist, 1883.

This is the position taken hose who hold that the Teal term of on of the Commissioners has got mixed.

THE COMMISSIONERS DENOUNCE MRS. CHAR- LOTTE SMITH’S ALLEGED STATISTICS, The Commissioners recently received a letter from Rey. Geo, V. Leech, of Annapolis, Md., pastor of the 1st Methodist Episcopal church, enclosing a slip from the columns of the New York American Reformer, of April 11th, 1885 of which the following is a copy: “Mrs. Ch lotte Smith, employed by a committee of the House of Representives to collect statisti specting the employment of women, has un- earthed some facts which should bring the blush of shame to every patriot’s cheek, Among these are the police statistics of Wash- ington, which show that there are 100 houses of iil-fame and 300 assignation houses in that city, while not less that 600 women of doubtful character are employed in the departments, placed and kept there by congressional intl ence.” Mr, Leech spent eleven years of his pa toral life in Washington in charge of four ditter- ent churches, and was raised and educated here, After expressing his disbelief in the st: ments, he says that, “ifan error, it ought not to be golng round in the columns of such & paper as the Reformer,” and asked to hear from the Commissioners as to the matter. The Commissioners this morning answered, through Secretary Tindall: “Sir:—Your fav: the 16th instant, with the slip cut from York paper, concerning bad houses in this eit and disreputable women in the employ of the government, is read, and I am instructed to sa. that it is, as’ you suppose, a gross libel. Th are no such’ police statistics, and it is well known, both to the police and citizens, that the female employes of the government are women of character—very many of them the widows, daughters or dependents of men of honorable fame who died or were disabled in the servic of the country. Your indignation that statements should be published is shared by. good citizens, but the character of the capital city is becoming too well known to the people of the country to require contradiction of the falsehoods, even though they appear in print.” sen eal, District Government Affairs.
