'Condition of Rusiness and State of Politics In Central American Ilcpabllc. City of Mexico, Not. C-Following are latest advices from Central and South American nations: Thetinancial condition in Gautemala is till bad. The election excitement is increasing and there is much speculation as to who will be tho dark horse candidatefor the presidency that is expected to be brought forward by President Barrillas at the last moment. So far there is no revolution in sight, but it is apprehended that there will be one before tne xiext President takes his seat. T he San Salvador Minister of Finance is preparing a plan to raise funds which are very much needed. The people in general oppose any loan abroad, and should one be arranged it would probably lead to a revolution. Any party to triumph in ban Salvador most repudiate foreign debts, particularly the loan raised by Spaniards in 'Pans. Costa Rica is perfectly quiet and will not le drawn into the difficulties of neighboring nations. Money is scarce, but the crops will be larger than usual this year, as more extensive planting has been done. The government will soon commence preparing its exhibit for the Chicago fair. In Nicaragua there is a more hopeful feeling about the construction of the Nicaragua canal, as the United States has now teen its importance in case of war with Chili, in moving ships of war quickly. Nicaragua is su tiering financial depression, the same as her neighbors, but with the commencement of active work on the canal times are expected to become brighter. In Honduras the opposition to Seivas, the newly-elected President, is becoming more end more pronounced daily. There is but little money in the treasury, crops aro partially abandoned, and small-pox and typhus fever are causing great Buttering among the people. IJusiness is almost dead at Panama: sickness is paramount. Most of the few merchants remaining are preparing to move, as nearly every body has lost or ia losing faith lii any improvement. It is rnmored at Lima, Pern, that in case of war with Chili, the United States would support Peru, and that it would be easy to Tforua an alliance with Bolivia. Mexico Will Make a Good Exhibit. City of Mkxico, Dec. C President Diaz will namo commissioners to the World's Columbian Fair during tho present month. The separate States will not be called on for money, though each one will make a creditable exhibit. This government will sot require any aid from the commissioners sent here by the Chicago people. The Mexican commissioners will go to Chicago, study the condition of things there and make a report to President Diaz, who will then decide what shall be done; but one eure thing is he will see that Mexico upholds her dignity and sends an exhibit exceeding in importance and extent that sent to Paris, and a better one than any of the Latin-American countries, if not superior to all of them combined. The commercial interests of Mexico will be the principal feature of the display, though other departments will be well attended to. Dom Pedro's Body Lying- In State. Paris, Dec. 6. The body of Dom Pedro, attired in the uniform of a Brazilian general, is lying in state in the room in which the ex-Emperor died.

The body has been embalmed and other preparations have been made for the funeral, which is to be held on Thursday. Dom Pedro's family has received many calls of condolence.

Eighteen months ago this city went totheexpenseof putting In an electric-light plant at a cost of $13,000. The plant was of the Weatinghouso pattern. There were many who questioned the advisability of the city changing from the contract system to that of furnishing its own light, and the matter went to court. The city was already in debt to the full limit allowed by law, but the citizens raising this objection wero beaten and the light went in. Muce that time several xeports have been given ont to the etlect that the light was being furnished at a cheaper rate than in any other city. The?e reports were, in some instance, taken as true, and this city was often quoted as ono having the cheapest light m the btate. At tne last meeting of the Citv Council, however, there was a great Mir created when the report of the chairman of the liuht committee was read, which showed that a careful investigation of the lamps had been made and that they are worn out and of no further value. A resolution was prepared and adopted condemning the lights and authorizing the Mayor to appoint a committer that should be empowered to dispose of the old lights and purchase a new system.

FBEE TRADE WITH HAWAII

Lively Debate in the Senate Probable Over a Treaty Recently Negotiated. Effort toCheckiaate English Designs Upon the Islands The ConercRsionst Record Hr. Toner's Census Bureau ileaaare. CHECKMATING ENGLAND. A Treaty That, Will Probably FroTolte a Heated Discussion In the Senate. pedal to the Indian spols Journal. Washington, Dec. 6. It isexpected that very soon after theSenatehasreally settled down to work the President will send to it the new treaty which has been negotiated with the Hawaiian islands. This treaty is sure to provoke an interesting discussion. It takes the place of the old treaty, which became virtually worthless when the reciprocity clause in the McKinley bill became a law. Under the old treaty Hawaiian sugar was admitted freo of duty, and the sugar planters wero enabled to make a profit of about 25 per cent. But now all sugar comes in free, and the Hawaiiaus are no longer the favored class. Therefore they sent Dr. Mott Smith to Washington to see what could be done, and he has just successfully concluded his mission. Tho point of interest about the treaty is that it proposes absolute free trade between the two countries. Hawaii will admit, free of duty, every article imported there from the United States, whether agricultural or manufactured, in return for which the United States will receive, without a taritr, everything which the Hawaiian islands may send here. Should the treaty ratified the Hawaiian planters will at once begin to raise truits, arrowroots, etc, and pay no further attention to the wholesale export ot sugar. Since the McKinley bill became a law the profit on sugar for them is only about 5 per cent., and they do not care to raise it for such email returns. But as soon as they commence to raise fruits they will come in competition with the California planters, for whoso express benefit an almost prohibitory tantl was placed on fruits by tho McKinley bill. When the bill is taken up in the Senate for consideration there are likely to be some very vigorous protests from the slooe. The exports from the United States to Hawaii would, if duty was charged upon them by the latter government, place $1(X),000 in the Hawaiian treasury. Under the new treaty the amount of duty sacrificed will be at least $of0.000. in view of the increased exports from the United States. The trade of this country will, therefore, be one of the reasons why the treaty should bo ratified; but more weighty still is the fact that it is to the interest of tho United States to continue the most friendly relations with the Hawaiian government. The islands command a most strategie position in the Pacific ocean, and England is ready to establish a protectorate over them at the slightest provocation. It is this desire to checkmate England that puts the administration, sworn to protection as it is, in 'the position of asking the Senate to ratify a treaty that proposes absolute free trade, THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Facts About an Important Government Publication Coat of a New Dress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. ft On Tuesday morning next the first number of the Congressional Kecord for the Fifty-second Congress will make its appearance. This is an important publication. It contains a verbatim report of all the proceedings which take place on tho floors of both houses, including speeches, and is the dernier ressort, or final authority, for all disputes as to just what has or has not been done by Congress. The Congressional Kecord is sometimes a very voluminous publication, and ordinarily appears six days in tho week, excepting Monday. It is a morning publication. It has two very broad columns of brevier, and its pages are about as wideasthe widest pagesof afashion journal or review. Sometimes it has from 100 to 15 pagesof solid matter, which would make an octavo book of four hundred or live hundred pages. Altogether the publication of the Congressional Record makes more type-setting and press-work than any half dozen daily newspapers in the country. It is the only great publication in the United States which has all tho help and accessories necessary for the work. No expense is spared, as all of Congress, and the entire country for that matter, are keenly interested in getting out the publication, and on time. It requires an enormous amount of type to got out the Congressional Kecord. A new dress is procured at the beginning of about every other Congress, every tour years, and sometimes every two years. A new dress for the Congres6ioual Kecord is a matter of over one hundred tons of tvpe mny times more than there is in a dozen of th." largest printing oflices, including typo cf all grados. The Kecord uses but three kinds of type long primer, nonpareil and brevier. The body of the Kecord is set up in brevier, bold face, solid. Extracts are sot in nonpareil. Some announcements and a little of other matter is put in long primer. The bulk of nowspaper matter in the daily press is in nonpareil or minion, so that the Kecord has its body-matter in a little larger type than the newspapers use on the average. It is printed on good heavy paper. About 12,000 copies are published. Each member of the Hnse gets about twenty-seven, and each Senator about forty copies daily. Theso they havo mailed regularly from the Government Printing Ollice to those they wish to have them. Some of them are preserved and bound at the end of the session, all free of cost. A new dress of type for the Kecord costs, in round figures. 973.000. It costs probably $3,000 to $5,000 to give a tirst-class daily newspaper a dress now. The last type came from a foundry in Chicago, and tilled SS3 boxes, averaging a weight of 115 pounds. By purchasing in such large quantities prices are made very low. The nonpareil cost in round figures 43 cents, the brevier SO cents and the long primer 81 cents a pound not. This is a reduction of about S3 percent, from the customary prices. The old typo is sold at the best prices the Public Printer can get. It is usually about half worn when sold, and ordinarily commands about 5 reutsa pound more than the metal is worth. Many newspapers in the country have been given a new dress from the old dresses of tho Congressional Kecord. A two-year dress of the Kecord is ordinarily not worn nioro than that used for twelve months in a country oilier, as there is so much in use herand then everything is stereotyped. Th Congressional Kecord is not a newspaper, and has no rivals, yet it is a welcomo visitor. PERMANENT CENSUS I1UREAU. A Hill Trovldluc for Its Creation to He at Once Introduced In the Senate. Fpeclal to the ImUauapoli Journal. Washington, Dec. 6. About the first bill which will be Introduced in the Senate will be the one for the establishment of the permanent census bureau. Though Mr. Porter has been confined to his house for seme time by severe illness, he has been very active in drawing up tho measure. In its general nature it will be in the line suggested by recent dispatches from Washington on the necessity of a permanent bureau. It will provide for a superintendent of the census and itschiefsof divisions. No stress is laid by Mr. Porter on either tho salaries to bo paid for the chicfenf division, as he is willing that theso matters, as well as the creation of an assistant superintendent shall be left entirely with the discretion of the committee of tbo two houses. An important feature of the bill is the provision that the new bureau shall be under the control, in the matter of appointments, of the civil-service law. There is no doubt felt here that this will pa the Senate very promptly, and time will show that the inuch'talked-ahout opposition to Mr. Porter and th renins in tbo House of Jiepresentatives has been very greatly exaggerated.

HOW SITTING BULL DIED. The Sionx Chieftain Was Treacherously Shot, Accordiui: to a Soldier Who Was Present St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 6. Conrad Disstler, who made the sixty-mile march across the deadly sand-plains of the Sionx reservation, from Fort Gates to Grand river, with Troop F, Eighth Cavalry, on the 6th of last December, told the whole story of the killing of Sitting Bull this afternoon. He was shown the affidavit of Sitting Bull's wives, charging that Hull was murdered, and said it was substantially correct. Disstler, who was an eyo-witness of tho killing, faid: "Red Tomahawk never liked Bull, and ho was glad of an opportunity to go into his camp under government orders. Troops F, C and G. Eighth Cavalry, under Captain Frecht. arrived at Grand river at C o'clock on the morning of Dec. 7. The Indian police were somewhat ahead of us, and Ked Tomahawk, their leader, found ana entered tho teoeo of Sitting Bull. When he told the chief that ho had to go with him. Bull made no resistance, but came out. He was surrounded by women, and they, alarmed, niado an outcry. Tomahawk suddenly drew his pistol and shot the aged chief in the hip. Bull fell to the ground wounded, but not mortally, while Tomahawk and his party made for a log cabin, where they were quickly besieged by the hostiles. "Captain Frecht brought the two fieldguns into play at once. He and Troop G protected them, while we of Troop F were dismounted and sent down the hill on a charge into the camp. As we started the Hotchkiss and Gatling gucs began their fire. Tho hostiles lied, with poor ofler of resistance. Thov crossed the Grand river and ran up one of the many gullies opening from it, "Sitting Bull, after receiving his wound, had crawled into a bush, ana therewith his rifle was making a light. He was dragged forth, and an Indian policeman sprang forward, and, with a broken pole nsed on the side of wagons, beat in his head; another broko his riiie over his head, and still others slashed his face horribly with their knives. In this manner ho died. Lieutenant Slocum did all that he could to prevent this brutality, but the police wero infuriated, and, having lost five or six of their number in the scrimmage, they were not to be pacified." I3HTJS0NED IN A BOILER. Singular Experience of Daniel Donlfn, an En gineer, Employed in a New lork Hotel. New Yokk, Dec. 5. A rather singular accident happened to Daniel Donlin, who is employed as engineer in tho Colonnade Hotel, on Broadway. Tho hotel, which is owned by ex-Judge Henry Hilton, runs through the block from Broadway to Lafayette placo. In the basement facing on Lafayette place is the boiler, where steam is generated for heating purposes. At 9 o'clock, on Friday morning, Donlin shut off the steam and drew tho fire under the boiler, for the purpose of cleaning it, and when it had cooled sufficiently ho entered the boiler through the man-hole in the dome. The dome, or drum, is on top of tho shell of the boiler, and the opening in tho bojier is somewhat narrower than the manhole in the dome. Donlin, who is rather too stoutly built for such work, got his knees wedged in the boiler opening. The more he tried to wriggle out tho tighter he became wedged in. so that finally he could not move either way. He called for help, but the employes who came to his assistance could do nothing for him. Finally Judge Hilton, who had been telephoned for, came down, and sent in a hurry call for a gang of boiler-makers. It was decided to remove the dome and then cut out ono of the boiler-plates. Donlin, who was getting weak, was given stimulants, and tho boiler-makers worked with all possible speed. It was two hours, however, before tho imprisoned man was released. DAILY WEATIlEIt BUIAETIX.

The pull home was a procession, McLean winning by eighty yards. Time, 23 minutes 47 seconds. The large crowd present hooted the rowers, claiming the race was an obvious fake. Tug-of-War Tournament.

The venerable Judge John Pitcher, in alluding to the unfavorable condition of things when Governor Hovey'a father came to this county from Vermont, said: "Mr. Ilovey came from Vermont to take his chances here as a school-teacher, but, unfortunately, a school-teacher then was not considered as valuable as a coon dog." Therefore the Governor's father was in very straitened circumstances when he died, and Alvin, his son. began life in a way to develop both muscle and brain power, and frcm the very outset manifested the most scrupulous honesty and integrity. Whatever his hands found to do, even to moat menial labor, so it was honorable, he cheerfully performed. A Safe Prediction. New Yrrk IUcorder.

CCBREST I'KIHUDICALS. The opening paper in The Engineering Magazine for December is the first of a notable series by Dr. Coleman Sellers, of Philadelphia, on "Ameriaa Supremacy in Applied Mechanics." "A Permanent Census Bureau,7 is advocated by Edward Atkinson. J. F. Holloway contributes a paper on Kobert Falton. entitled 'Fulton Night' with the Engineers." prof. Edward H. Williams, jr., of Lehigh University, treats of "(ieoloiry from a Business Point of View." -ihe Canadian Pacitio Kailway" is described at length by Mr. T. Kennard Thomson. Another railroad article ot interest is entitled "Picturesque Suburban Kaiiroad Stations," by Bradford Lee Gilbert, The second paper by George K. Duuell on "The Manchester Ship-canal," recounts some notable feats in engineering. "Impure' Water and Public Health." by Dr. Floyd Davis, of Drake J University, relates to avoidable dangersfroni typhoid fever and other diseases due to contaminated drinking water. "Landscape Beauty at Newport," is discussed by John De Wolf, a landscape architect ot much experience. "The Conditions Causing a Cold Wave," are explained by Prof. T. Kussell, of the United States Weather Beureau, whoso work in that service upon bcarslweatherpredictions. A chapter of the interminable series of "Italian Old Masters" forms the opening article of the December Century, and supplies the Madonna and child necessary for Christmas illustration. Frank K. Stockton contributes a characteristic story called The Christmas Shadrach." Kipling's and Bahsteir's joint serial takes its hero at a jump from Colorado, or thereabouts, to India. Some astonishing adventures aro evidently in store for that worthy. Julian Ralph has a well-illustrated article on tho Bowery as it was and is. 'The Ocean from Real Life" is a eraphio description of a wild voyage on a sailing vessel from New Guinea, in tho western Pacilic ocean, to New Uedford. The relation of science to immortality is discussed at some length by Augustus l)u Bois. "The Golden Age of Pastel'' is a sketch that should be of interest to art students. "Characteristics" is the title of a new serial story by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. Amonaother contributions are "Mozart After a Hundred Years' and "Sherman and the San Francisco Vigilantes." Several short stories and a number of poems go to make up the number. The Ladies' Home Journal for December opens with a short story by Miss Mamie Dickens, daughter of the novelist Charles Dickens. The story is just about what a young woman called "Mamie" might be expected to write. A promised f eatura'' of the magazine for the coming year is a series of articles on a variety of topics written by the daughters of distinguished men. The most of these so-called "famous" daughters have done nothing to earn fame for themselves, and their views are of no consequence to the public whatever. Such an enterprise as this is a cheapening of literature and unworthy of a publication that counts so many of the best writers on its list of contributors. Among those who will add to the attractiveness of its psges next year are Mrs. Sara Orne Jewott. one of the best short story writers; Mrs. Burton Harrison, W. D. Howells. who will have a story of "American Girl Life," and Kobert J. Burdette, who will net in an editorial capacity. Palmer Cox's famous "Brownies" will continue to disport themselves through its pages. A new and entertaining featureof the New England Magazine is a department of literary criticism, conducted by Walter Blackburn Harto. It is called "In a Corner at Dodsley 'a" Ensconced in this corner Mr. Harte discourses of writers and their work in an independent and vigorous fashion that is truly refreshing. He is particularly severe upon the pretenders in literaturethat increasingly numerous class of persons who achieve what some regard as fame by writing (books of doubtful merit after they havo become famous or notorious in other directions. Mr. Harte, who is hinuelf a Canadian, has another contribution in the shape of a "write-up" of Canadian journalists and journalism. Other papers of the number are: "Randolph of Roanoke and His People." "Brunswick and Bowdoln College," "Pen Pictures of the Bosphorus," "Stories of Salem Witchcraft" and "The New South The City of Fort Worth." This magazine is giving considerable attention to illustration with good results. When a person looks through the table of contents of the North American Review and makes the remark that it contains nothing of interest his judgment as to literary matter may be regarded as imperfect. Here is the December number, in which Professor Bryco discusses the "Negro Problem," followed by Colonel Ingersoll'a lively description of three philanthrophlsts, two of whom are not. Now and then there is a novel topic, and of this sort is that of Admiral Luce, "The Benefits of War." Gen. Horace Porter discusses "Railway Rates," and Master Workman Powderly "The Workingman and Free Silver." "The Quorum of European Legislatures" is an article which embraces the opinions of a large number of authorities on parliamentary law in Europe, who unanimously hustain ox-Speaker Reed. Theso aro only a portion of the valuable papers in the Review. The "Notes and Comments" aro not the least interesting feature ol the number. The Youth's Companion is one of those perennial joys that always fulfill expectations. Each number contains entertainment for children, young and old, and readers of advancing years, who look over its pages with interest, are inclined to dispute with "youth" its exclusive claim to the paper. The Companion is edited with the greatest care, its corps of contributors includes the best writers of this country and England, and tho cnildwho receives it has a weekly supply of the bet literature. A variety of snecial attractionsaro offered for the comius year. Sun and Shade for December has a very fine portrait of General Lew Wallace. Its excellence in finish and as an accurate likeness makes it desirable for framing. Among other photogravures of tho number are a portrait of Annie Clark, the actress: a reproduction of Rosa Bonheur's "Horse Fair." "Her First Love Letter," from a painting by Marcus Stone, and "A Christmas Pudding." lrom a photograph. This publication, which is without letterpress, gives a number of attractive pictures with Mirh imnt nmt shows the rro2re nfthn protographic art. New York Photogravure Company. Tho Eclectic Magazine, wbich can be depended on to contain the cream of Ensltsh periodical literature, has in its December table of contents papers, on tho following topics: "The Demoralization of Russia," "The Reflex Effect of Asiatic Ideas," "The Emancipation of Woman." "The Grindstone Theory of tho Milky War," "Austria. Its Society. Politics and Religion." "Tho Chinese Atrocities." "Charles Mewart Parnell," "Darwinism in the Nursery" and "Is Man the Only Reasoner!" The Magazine of Art (Cassell & Co.) takes a new departure by offering a colored frontispieco for the first time.. The process is called chromo-typograrure, and though the study, Detmold's "Breezy Day," is well chosen for such presentation, most artlovers will probably prefer a return to black-and-white prints.
