New York, August 28.—A special to the Heraid from Sonsonate, Guatemala, August 27, says: Early this morning, in face of the armis- tice agreed upon by Guatamela, Salvador and Honduras, and which was to ond at 6 o'clock today if peace arrangements were not perfected, the Guatemalan forces on the frontier shelled & position cecupied by the Salvadorians at El Coco, in Salvador, near the border, thereby adding another treacherous act to its score im the present war. At the time the shelling of El Coco was taking place Barillas had the peace proposition submitted by Ezeta through Mizner and and other ministers in his hands, and could not have been ignorant of what was passing on the frontier. as half an hour after- ward he signed the peace treaty on the basis ax laid down by Ezeta, and which fact he caused to be telegraphed to that funetionary at once. This breach of faith in firing upon a Salva- dorian fortification caused much indignation among the representatives of Spain, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, who, with Mizuer, n the armistice. But Mizner is accussd of laugh- ing over the news. Nor 1m it now probable that Ezeta will demand indemnification for Guate- mala's treachery, ‘The reasons given for Barillas signing the peace treaty are—first, he is a powerless man, as his country is practically bankrupt; second, because he fears the downfall of his govern- ment, owing to interior revolutions, and third, because he desires the cotton 000,000 to be carried through in France. Nob lieves that if Barillas secures the loan he will long remain at peace with Sal- vador, but the latter country will lose no time, though peace be prociaimed today, in putting herself in shape for a future war with her more powerful neighbor. ¥ —_—»—_—_ CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN.

WILLIAMS FIRES MR. CANNON. ‘Mr. Williams (IL) arising to defend him- self against the inplied charge against him in including bis name among the absentees named in the Cannon resolution, made some ref- erence to Mr. Cannon's remarks yesterday. Cannon at once jumped to his and said s®methi about lies being told concerning what he had actually said. He said that the Record gave his lan- guage as he had used it, without a change, the dotting an “i” or the crossing of a “t.” Mr. Enloe, who had examined the reporter's transcript of his notes as they were before “editing,” DENIED MR. CANNON'S STATEMENT. that no change had been made in the copy, but he got no chance to press the point or pre- sent the original copy. Some one demanded that Mr. Cannon's language, in which he referred to “dies” being told, be taken down. but this was passed over, and calmness seemed about to come down upon the House, sever’! = ex- to and in the his remarks he sneceeded ving several severe slaps at the rules, a delicate thrust at the Speaker and a side blow here and there among his colleagues. He was very amiable and humor- ous in his remat but he stirred House first to applause and laughter and then to EXPRESSIONS OF ANGER. Mr. Funston was so angered that he would not let Mr. Mason proceed, raising his own voice, which has the volume of ® fog horn so as to fill the whole House, galleries and corridors so that Mr. Mason could not be heard, The Speaker could not brin; member to order and soon the IX AX UPROAR, the air being full of shouts of anger or derision. Finally there was & contest between the Speaker's gavel and Mr. Funston’s Yoice, the voice sometimes rising above the re- sounding blows of the gavel, and sometimes the sound of the gavel ringing londer. The voice agot the better far enough to say that if Mr. Mason said so and _ 80 he told a falsehood. Mr. Cheadle demanded that the words be taken down and after infinite confasion this was done and Mr. Funston was given an op- portunity to explain and apologise. Afew more “personal privileges” and the rest of the day was given to labor bills, CURRENT CAPITOL TOPICS. Proposed National Standard for Grading Grains—Committee Notes.

Robert on the 2d day of July and the same day were forwarded to Mr. C. Hazelton, attorney for the District, and to the major and superintendent of police, to formulate charges against said Gay. Several days before they had been forwarded to the major of police for the same pi Said attorney called the witnesses before him and recommendod that statements with rej to Gas intimacy with Mrs. Nelly Fish be not considered. In the course of his mvostiga- tions Mr. Hazelton discovered a record showing acts by one or more police officers which seemed to merit further investigation.

CLOSETED WITH COL, ROBERT. Private Secretary Halford at the Dis- trict Building—Why? Yesterday afternoon Secretary Halford spent some time at the District building closeted with Col. Robert, What his mission was no one knows but Col. Robert, and he is silent on the subject, When a Sran reporter asked him if it had anything to do with his transfer or the vacant commissionership he evaded the question and would not talk. “Do you think the Presidont will accept Com- sioner Hine’s resignation?” asked a Sram re- porter. “Do you know what Wellington use to say abouta battle? No! Well, he said: ‘No one knows but God, and He wouldn'ttell.’ That's whatI say.” “How about these petitions that are being circulated favoring Commissioner Hine’s re- tention. Do you think they will have any weight with the President?” “That I can't say. I hear, however, that they are being circulated quite extensively, and there is one in every bar room in town. The jor men evidently fear thet the President will appoint some one who thinks as Commissioner Douglass does about the liquor traffic in the District. But time solves all things,” and the colonel vanished in his private room to talk with Lient. Pierson about a prospective police raid. ac THE HOMELESS POLICE COURT. Temporary Use ot the Criminal Court Room to be Asked For. The special assistant attorney for the District, Mr. Neill Dumont, today, incomplinnce with a request from the attorney for the District, in- vited the Commissioners attention to the Ite- vised Statutes of the District of Columbia which required that this District shall provide necessary and suitable places for the pros- ecution of business by the Police Court and to ask that pending the refitting and repairing of the Police Court building they will com- municate with the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to the end that the room and the attaching apartments in the city hall known as the Criminal Court room end such rooms as are necessary for the assistant attorney for the United States and the special assistant attorney for the District of Columbia, as well as for the judge of the Police Court and the clerk thereof, may be ob- tained for the purpose of the court pending the completion of the work.

A LIQUOR LICENSE REFUSED. Assistant Attorney Thomas Thiaks the School Limit Clause Should be Enforced Reveral dave ago the Commissioners received a letter from « liquor dealer whose applica- tion for license had been refused on the grownd that the honse was within the school limite— in other words was within 400 feet of a echool house. In the letter to the Commission~ ers the applicant stated that in view of the fact that the school house was not on the same street as the bar room, but around the corner, the application of the rule was not fair. Further, that the place in question bad been used as abarroom for many yearsand wes there before the school house was erected, ‘The letter was referred to the attorney fer the District. and the assistant attorney, Me.

One of the strong opponents of Major Powell and bis plans in the recent arid land contre- versy was Gov. Wolficy of Arizona, He was ee heartily im earnest in his opposition te some features of the proposed arid Innd legislation that he est down in his gubernatorial chair and wrote letters te Secretary Noble, In these letters he forgot for the time thet he was addressing his official perior, and he did mot hesitate not onls to criticise Maj. Powell with » wild western freedom but the Interior Departmen® came in fora share of his denunciation Ali — letters were filed away in the Interios riment and when a few days ago Secretary Noble ordered the governor to report te him at once in Washington the letters were brought out and placed im neat little piles on the Secretary's desk. There the governor found them confronting him on bis today arrival yesterday, snd he and the Secretary have been enjoying little ‘conference in the Secretary's private room. The general supposition is the Secretary is metaphorically wiping up the floor with the governor of Anzona and when he gets through with him he will no longer oo- cupy the first official position in that territory, AFFIRMATION AND DENTAT.
