Ho said that from the com- mencement of his official career, circumstances have censpired to give Grover Cloveland more prominence than his talents warrant, and it would be just his luck for this Central American complication to force him into a rominent postion on the roll of the presi- ents of the United States or pouibl{vm.klug hin next in history to Linc In snd Washing- ton. Justsee how the matter stands. His administration is only two weeks old, yet he bas practically aliensted the great tariff re- form wing of the party, and its leading repre- sentatives, s The Louisville Courier-Journal has eorved notice on him that he will bave a fizht on his hands unlees he changes his front. To change s front would b to brine the whole protec- tion ring to arms. Dut, as sald, his_prover bial luck promises to get him out of this mud- dle and make him, not only thy president of the whule democratic party, but of the whole natiou Bayard understands the whole situation, and is to provide to take advantage of it to tho fullest extent. You can’t have failed to notica how he has been strntting around with a chip on his shoulder, anxious for somebody to shake it, ever rince Barrios 1ssued his proc lamation. 'Why ho has been moro pronounced in his manner than even Secretary Blaine, the apostle of as strong a foreign policy as ever was, and hn‘imes even beyond the limits of the Monroe doctrine. That doctrine goes to the point of holding that no European nation shall be allowed to interfere ‘n the govera- ment relatious of our southern neighbors Secretary Bayard does not limit it to that, but neserts that the autocracy of the nations of Central America must be maintained among themselves, and that the United States will woe it done. In earnest of this, all available war vessels have been dipatched to the adja- cent waters, with strics instractions to_insist on the doctiine thus enunciated, and with orders to look to the health of the men witha view to a protracted stuy there, The meaning of all thisis very evi- dent, Itis jingoism with the subsidiary m- tention of divertiog the atteution of the country from tee perplexing tariff question? Tl tell you what is a fac*, this administration would be extremely sorry if Barrios should b ecared off from his mtontions by the state departments pronu: ciamento, snd would ba extremely well pleased if he wonld go so far a8 to give a protext for landing two or three regiments of federal troops in Nicaragua, for tho purpose of protecting our treaty rights. You, of course, noticed that in_his communi- cation to the s-nate, Bayard ‘atated that Barrios’ abjact was to defeat tho carrying out of the Nicaraguan canal t eaty. Such a war would, of course, be only a breaklass spell for this nation, sesisted us it would be by San Salvadar, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mexico, ageinst Guatomala and Honduras, but it would be & war neverthel-ss, and the nation being in for it, must inevitably sink all mior considerations at home, and eupport the ad ministeation, after twenty years of the proud- est peace the nation has ever known, Don’t you see even this little scrappiog match would lift the present administration out of the slough into which it is rapidly sinking, and set it up in business with greater eclat, s the admivistration with & vigorous foreign policy ready to maintain the honor of this great Yaokee nation at all hazarde. ‘I'hen there's another point, and s strong one: 1t weuld, as 1t were, fumigate the democratic garments and forcver relieve them of the ingeriog odor of secession and rebellion, which for twenty years kept the partyin quarantive outside the nationsl capital **There’a etill another point in the situation,” contioued the speaker’ which yon may rest assured, has not been overlooked by the ad- || ministration. *The d patches stato that a British gunboat landed seventy-five marines and gacling guns in the belligerent torritory, It wouldn’t be very hard to construe that act into a breach of the Movroe doctrine, would it, if one were raally spoiling for a fight? You rem ber that during the late war, when Great Britain came at us and made us take water over the Mason-Shdell affair, that James Russell Lowell said this, in the Bigelow pa- pers: * It don’t seem hardly right, John, When both my hands are full, To stump me to a fight, John— Your courtin’, too, Jokn Bull.” ‘Well, things are different now. The author of the Bigelow papers is now miniater a% the court of her most christian majesty (usen Victoria and it is Great Britian that now has ber hands full, not to mention employment for Ia{gu in defending herself against 121 Mahdi and Kussian Bear, Wouldu't it be rather a popular thing to tell her to get ont of Contral America or fight, knowing beforehand she would get out? aud wouldn't the Irish who went to Blaine last fall flock back into the democratic camp, and oll for the man who isn't afraid of England? ‘e¢, all in all, the present administration would be very sorry if compelled to settle the Ealn:nnl American complicetion without a ght, e — Grover's Birthday.

Therefore ba it Resolved; As the judgment of the sen- ate that in view of the special and important interests of tho United States in conjunction with those rapublics of Nicara- d Costa Rica, in the inter-oceanic ross the continent, 50 in the prograss of adjustment, auy invasion of the territory of Nicaragua or Costa Rica by the forces of Guatemala, nunder tha circumstances and with the purposes bsfore stated is regarde{ by the senate, and ought to be treated by the United States as an act unfriendly and of hostile interference, with the rights of the United States, and of the republics of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, in respect to the said matter, Martin Van Buren Montgomery, nomi nated to-day commissioner of patents, is o lawyer in good standing and has u large prac tico in Lansing, Mich. The president knew his qualificatione, and this morning requested a friord to telegraph him and ask him if he would serve the administration as patent commissioner, This was the first suggestion he had of the matter, His auswer wa: “I am a candidate for no_office, but my services placa of the first assistant are at the command of President Clevelind.” His nama was immodiately transmitted to the senats, Montgomery was an attorney elected ha homesteaders of Michigan to represent them before the congressiova! committees in tha Michigan land grab case, and his argu- ment has created a very favorable opinion of his abilitiea. e —— GOING FORR BARRIOS. THE AMERICAN EAGLE SCREAMS. Chicago Times Special, WASHINGTON, March 17,—The Edmunds resolution, which the senate bas beon consid- ering in the last two or three executive sse- sions, is o conditional declaration of war against Guatemala and Honduras, 1t recites the well-known facts in regard to the attempt of Barrios to override four Central American states, and then declares that in view of our interests in Nicaragus, his course is unfriendly to the United States, and warns him that if he does not desistit will be the duty of the United States to use whatever means may be necorsary to stop him, This resolution was rather lau- suldly debat"d to-day, because most of the ebate has already occurred and because very faw senuto © been opposing the resolution, ‘The resolution was adopted by a vote of 40 to 7, the affirmative vote being cast by both republicans and democrats, aud the negative vote consisting of five or tix democrats and one or two republic Among the demo- crats of the minority were Bluckburn of Kentucky, and Ransom and Vance of North Oarolina. There was & proposition made to remoye THE INJUNCTION OF SECRECY from the communication of Secretary Bayard, wand Sevator Edmunds wanted the ipjucction of secrecy removed not only from his resolu- tion, but from the vote upon it. Mr, Morgan objected to the removal of the injnnction secrecy from these matters until he was as- sured that Secrctary Bayard was not only willing, but was very desirous that his letter should go to the public, Mr. Morgan then withdrew his objection, but Mr, Sherman at once renewed it, and the matter goes over to the next executive session, with a strong probability that the senate will then make public all these Central American docu- ments, Oune curious thing is that for years ths two greatest sticklers for the sanctity of executive soesions and literature were Senators Bayard and Edmunds, anxious thet the public shonld havethe benefit of hia first state paper, and Senator Edmunds, haviog assumed an aggressively Ameiican at- titude toward s pigmy Central American state, and belng supported therein by @ large majonty of the senate, not only wants the public to know what a valiant patriot is, but hs wants the public to know who were the reven men No Secretary Bayad is [ Th voted against his resolution. to enjuy the protection afforded by an execu- tive session.

(' Corbett's office yestorday, “what conclu sion have yon and your principal arrived at as to the place of meoting?” T have seon my principal, and can only repeat what T stated yosterday—that the fight must come off within 100 miles of Chicago if fought for stakes of £2.600, or that the stakes must be incrassed fo $6,000 if we go to Butto City,” swid Vidvardin raply, ory well, then,” said the “Parson,” ‘if thatis your determination, we can hardly agreo upon this matter,” and after soma fur- ther discussion the followlng paper was drawn up and signed by both Davies and Vidvard and their forfeit money returved to them by Mr. Corbett: 1t view of the fact that. after several most- ines and prolonwed discussions, we havo been unable to ageee upon any terms for the pro posed meeting between Jack Burke end Pad- dy Ryan, we mutbally agres to withdraw the 8500 forfeit deposited by each with O. C. Cor- bett, of thy Sporting Journal. On behalf of Mr, Burke Mr. Davies desires to fight at Butte City, Mont.,, with hard gloves to a finish for $2,600 a side, but de- clinos to raise the stake to $5,000 a side, although ngrecing to leave it open for that amount; he also declined to have any- thing whatever to do with a fight to_a finish within 100 miles of Chicago. Col. Vidvard, representing Mr, Ryan, refuses to go_as far as Butte City for 0 small a stake as $2,500 a side, but annonnzes his willingness to ficht to a finieh there for $5,000 a side, or withm 100 miles of Chicago for the proposed stake of $2,500 a side, i “Thus ends the big bluff of Ryan,” eaid & isgusted sporting-man in peaking of tho meeting sfterwards, I'rom tho very first T made up my mind that Ryan was blufling, and in my opini-n he_ismued his recent chal- lunge simply becaure ho was forced to doso by public opiniou, and not with any intention of really meeting Burke, You see how he has crawled out ef it mnow. Well, ten to one he or his friends bave ulready telegraphed to New York to ar range a meeting with Sullivan, avd I wiilbet, if the meeting takes placo at all, that it will take placein Butte City, notwithstanding Ryan’s aversion to meeting Burke there. Ryan’s reasons for not wishiog to me t Burke are timplo enough. He knows that if he and the “Irish lad” had come together in Butte City or anywhero clse and Burke had won the fight his chances of receiving a licking at the champion’s hards would have been knocked higfxur than Gilderoy’s Kite, Pos- +ibly he may be willing to meet Burke after he has met the champion, provided the latter leaves enough of him to make a decent showing in the ring; but Burke will bo wito in refusing to ontertain any proposition from Ryan in the future, No one doubts that he has been sincere in his wish to haye a go at tha bie fellow, and that, had tke moeting been TRADE AND TRAFFIC.
