Sarrios Death, Sax Franorsco, April 22,—The Bulletin will publieh this afternoon the following par- ticulars of the death of the late President Barrios, of Gautemala, obtained from L. B, Parratto, Guatemala consul in this city, who returned here this morning from Guatemala The engagement in which President Barrios was killed was between one battalion of Gua- temala troops and a much larger body of San Salvadorians. At9a m., Barrios gave the order to attack, but at 10 o’clock no advance movoment had been made, as the troops were under the command of an unpopular colonel_and refused to obey him. Barrios was in his tent with two of his officers when the information was brought him. Oan the refusal of both these officers to nssume com- mand, he left the tent, and it was while pro- ceeding to the frout of the column that he was shot by a sharpshooter from a tree. The bullet entered his right shoulder and passed through his heart and out of the left eide. Meanwhilo the batt'e had commonced, in & short time both sides withdrew from the battle field, but not until a determined and L\lfim[ul effort was made to recover barrios’ ody. Mrs, Barrios, wife of the late president of Guatemals, and seven children, are among the passengors of the steamer Grenada, just arrived from Panama. Her son, Antonio Bar- rios, arrived yesterday from the east, In tho struggle for the recovery of his dead body his gon_Venancio and his son-in-law were killed.

Mr, Parrott says if the cable had been at San Jose instead of at La Libertad, in Salvador, the result would have been different, as Bar- rois would not have given battle. Barrios had repeatedly said he would be guided b$ the dispatches from the United States, but none reached him. After walting a long time he became exasperated and moved on the Sal- vadorians, When the government voted to erect a monument to Barrios’ memory, and Mrs. Barrios was asked about it, she replied that the best monument the government could raise would be a man who was equal ‘to the occasion and would carry out the plans of Barrios. Mrs Barrios was accompanied to this city by Senor Linibaldi, ex-vice presi- dent of Guatemala under Barrios, Business ‘“l,”‘a““"““l" is said to be completely demor- alized, ——— A Very Sick Man, Ew YORK, April 2L—Dr, Douglas said said this morning there was no ill-effect from Gen, Grants exorcise, taken yesterday, un- less it was the added fatigue which prevented profound sleep during the early part of the vight, Neuralgic pains are abated to-day, but the trouble at the base of the tongue is at timesthe seat of greater or less pain to the patient.

In regard to that positionI have Bo qudi&cnfun to make, mno honor could compensate me for its abandonment, It is true and right always. But another proposition of public Iaw is equally funda- mental, that the acquiescenso of people of an nvaded state in a change of soverelgns is, #0 far jan the world is concerned, the conclu sion of the public question, and must deter. mine thereupon the judgment of all people, 1 am to-day, as are millions of my countrymen, recognizing with the fullest loyalty the au thority of & government over my own state founded on what T consider a gross and bloody violation of public rights committed against myaelf and them, but on authority fixed and unalterably secura in the acquiescenca of the people, acquiescence which concludes the public judgment of the world.” e — IOWA EUPRKEME COURT.

THE MARIE GARRISON SUIT AGAINST THE MIs- BOURI PACIFIO RAILWAY FOR $5,000,000, NEew York, April 21,—The time-honored Marie-Garrison suit and all other suits attack- ing the title of the Missouri Pacific Railway company to that part of its property which was acquired by the foreclosure of the old Pa- cific railroad of Missouri have been eettled, The Marie-Garrison $5,000.(00 was the prin- cipal one of theso suits, so far as the amount claimed by the plamtitfs is concerned and the aemands it has made on public attention, The papers were signed to-day, and scme of the suits pending in the state of Missouri will be discontinued, _ ) The amount paid by the defendants in the several suits is about $1,000,000, of which Commodore C. K. Garrison's estate pays $500,000, the Missiouri Pacific railway about §250,000, and the Atlantic & Pacifi: Railroad company, which was the lessee of the old Pacific of Missouri, the rest. All the suits are to be diecontinued without costs to either side. and all the litigants are to pay theie own counsel fees. How the money recelved by the complainants, or rather what is left of it after payiog legal expenses, is to be divided has not been made public. To give & summary of any one of the suits would require a page or two of the imes. One of the counsel showed & printed digest or the litigation today. 1t was bigger than the city directory, Al of v THE TROUDLE grew out of the foreclosure of the ‘‘third mor! on the old Pacific railroad of i, One of ths counsel com- puted thst fully twenty-five separate actions had grown out of that purchase, The plaintifis were security-holders in the old company, the old company itself, sud others who asserted leins upon it, The liti- gation began nine years ago.

Every southern element; is to bo troated as though he is honest and every western sottler as though he is a rogne, under this order the wealthy speculator or owner of land scrip may obtain patents tor land promptly and without regard to quan- tity and the prica of landscrip of course will be greatly enhanced, but the actual settler who makes a claim under the homestead luw and honestly fufills every requirement and against the honesty and _legality of whose claim there is not a shadow of uunYl ion, is denied a title to his homestead, he muf have y lived on and cultivated it continuously four years and eleven months, before the order waa issued, but he can receive no patent for hisland in the face of this order, because thore is a charge that some other settler, whose entry antecedes his by only a single day, has not fulfilled every requirement of the Iaw. The execution of this order will re~ quire an army of detectives and spacial agents and years of time, during which the honest settlers will be denied patents the same as the men who have defrauded or attempted to de- fraud the government. “‘HOW OAN WE GET RID OF THE WOMEN) in these departments,” is a question which puzzles the den.ocratic reformers of the Hig- ains type in Washington. It is cortain that no effort will be neglected to obtain a 3 problem. In the treasury department alone about 700 women are employed as clerks and copyists, and in other departments en~ugh more are found to make the -%mgm number about 1,600. The yearly salaries of a large number of these women are under $1,200, The majority re- ceive from $720 to $1,000, These women of course are neither voters nor political workers and most of them are the mothers, widows or other relatives of men who lost their lives in defense of the union, There are hundreds of hungry and thirsty democrats, able-bodied men, that would be glad to have the places now filled by these women, small as are the salaries affixed to them. Already the cry is raised that the women owe their places solely to political in- fluence, that they are lazy and Insufficient and dishonestly obtain leavea of absence on account of pretended sickness, The fact is that in proportion to the pay they receive the women clerks in the government service are as useful, valusble and officient as are the men who fill like posi- tions. Until the republican party came iato powoe fow if any women werogiven places in the departments, The experience of twenty-four years has shown that the inno- vation adopted in the first administration of President Lincoln was a wise one. Any at- tempt by the Higginses to overturn what has become a firmly established policy, in order %o mako room for_needy politioal workers, will not succeed without a severe struggle. — DISASTROUS FLOOD, A WATER BPOUT CALAMITY IN KANSAS. ‘Wienira, Ks., April 22,—A disastrous flood occurred yesterday morning at Kingman Kas,, which is supposed to be the result of a water spout, About 9 o’clock the Ninne- scah river began torise at atremenduous rate, but little attention was paid to it, as the preceding night was very rainy, The river rose five feet in half an hour and in a short time was out of the banks, but still the peo- ple didu’t fear particular damage, thinking the water couldn’t rise much more, but on it came and soon small buildings and sheds be- gan moving, and almost instantly the whole of South Main street was under a rush of water which tore houses from their foun- dations and sent them drifting across the street and on their way down the wild and turbulent river, with families still in thew, lcrelmlnfi for belp, The flood reached the floor of the bridge, which caused the water to pour into the Riverside h_use, the inmates fleeing to the north side. Fifteen dwellings were swept into the current, with men, women and children in them, at the meroy of the waters. The number drowned is un. known, though four women and one man are known to have been lost, besides certainly several chilaren, The water soon began to recede, and a meeting was called to look after the destitute living and the bodies of the dead.

The Clevelands did little better, but found Stcinmeyer a hard man, ~etting but seven hits, while he struck out the me number.

Special telegram to the Brx, CH1cAGO, April 22,—To-day's market was & ‘‘waiting” one in every sense. After the heavy closing of last evening, due to disbelief in the character of the war news, there was a sharp opening [this morning, owing to the radical view that war was spproaching and very likely to oocur. This was confirmed by another great depression in conscle. Prices for WHEAT advanced fully 1} cents over the closing of yesterday, with June touching 92}c, but from that p.int the market fell back under rather neayy offerings to 90fc, rose to 91}c, and re ceded to 9lc. There was very little move- ment after thir, but the prevailing tone was firm, and the market rose once or twice close to the top prices of the morning, but n the absence of any definite foreign news there was a disinclination to force the market in either direction, Receipts _continue small. The weather was favorable in the west for growing crope, but the general tenor of the dispatches relating to the crop outlook was discouraging. There was & strong feel- ing daring the most of the afternoon session, but the market finally fell off to medium ures, closing & cent higher than yesterds; There was only a fair amount of trsding in CORN with a tendency towards higher prices, the market closiog fc over yostrdsy, The re- celpts of 0ATS show u falliog off and with a fair demand prices ruled fim during the day, closing somewhat higher. There was only & moder- ate moverment in PROVISIONS with prices generally steady and firm. CATTLE. The receipts were rather larger than antici- pated, and trade in & general way was some: what slow, with prices on the ordinary run of shipping and dreseed beef steers baroly steady as compared with yesterdsy. There wore but fow ehippers on the market, Butchera' stock was m active demond and steady. Tho eud- den up-turn of 15@25¢ on stockers and feeders has somewhat checked the demand, although there aro a large number of countrymen on the market, but they aro unwilling to pay current rates, The receipts of stockers and feeders are not so heavy but what they can be taken caro of by the yard speculators, and the chances aro that prices will not go back to any grest extent during the balance of tho week.

I am continually being asked, says Labou- chere, whether I know of some gound radical ready to contest one or other of the metro- politan districts, for in many of them the candidates who have come forward do not ap- pear to command radical confidence. What the radicals should do ia thie: They should frame certaiu test questions, and decline to vote for any candidate who is not prepared to support them, The replies, however, should be distinct, otherwise candidates when elected will shirk out of thera. I would eug- gest the following : 1, Will you vote for disendowment and dis establishment of the Church of Fngland? 2, For the abolition of all hereditary right to leaislate? 3. For a progressive income tax and succes sion duty? 4. For alected county boards? 5. For the appointment of magistrates by the county bosrds?
