THE most awful ocpan disaster of modern times wus recorded this week ,in the loss of the steamer Elbe, which foundered in the North Sea on Wednesday as the result of a collision with another vessel, which escaped serious damage. Over three hundred lives were lost, and but a few survived to tell the horrors of the terrible calamity.

LAST fall a prominent Michigan G. A. R. man, who drew a pension of seventytwo dollars a month, took occasion to score the present aiministration. This week he received notice from the pension department that his pension bad boen reduced to thirty dollars a month. Of oonrse he isn't rash enough to think there is a connection between the two events.

OUT in Missouri they are going after the cigarette people in a way that can well be imitated by our Hoosier solons. A bill introduced in the legislature there provides a state license of one thousand dollars and a county lioense of the same amount. The beads of every educational institution in the state commended the bill, and urge its passage, and it is said the bill is likely to become a law.

THE attorneys for the government who are trying the A. R. U. leaders in Chiosgo had a man excused from tbe jury because he said he was deeply in sympathy -with labor. The case is feeing tried before Judge Orosscup, who, in his notable speeob at Galesbnrg last Decoration Day, •aid as plain as words oonld tell it, that he had but little sympathy for labor, and It is eminently fitting that the case of the labor leaders should be tried befotea judge of this kind and a jury on which it is impossible for a man to serve If he has any sympathy for labor.

THE next Senate will be almost as notable as the Hoftse for the new faces that will be seen there. There will be new men as Senators from the states of Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, JiTorth Carolina, Rhode Island,

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report

JUDGE LOCHREN, the more than officious Commissioner of Pensions, has been overruled by the courts in his seemingly personal fight to reduce the pension of Judge Long, of the Michigan Supreme court, which has been in controversy for more than a year past. The disabilities of Judge Long are so permanent and total as to require the regular personal aid and attendance of another person, the class of cases for which congress fixed a rating of $72 a month, but his pension was reduced by Lochren, on the ground that Corporal Tanner, as commissioner, had no right to increase Long's pension to seventy-two dollars a month. In the opinion in the case, rendered by Judge Bradley, that official laid down the proposition that the commissioner is neither the government nor congress and cannot give or withhold pensions at his pleasure. Judge Long bas gained a decisive victory in this case, a victory that will be welcome to many who are not, either by age or experience in a position to realize^)enefits from it.

DESPITE the determined opposition of Indiana's seven languaged senator, Turple, the byi extending government aid to tbe Nlcaraugua canal has passed tbe senate, and if it meets with favorable action in the house, will go on record as one of the most Important acts of the present congress. The act provides that the government shall guarantee 170,000,000 of the Nicaragua Canal company's oonds, principal and interest, for which the government receives an eqnal amount of the canal company's stock, with a mortgage apon the company's property. Besides this the secretary of the treasury is to have a general supervision of the work of the company, and tbe president of the United States will have the power of appointing ten of the fifteen directors who have the management of the company's affairs. The company will issue 130,000,000 of bonds without the guaranty of the government, and these two sums, with the sale of stock, it is expected will complete the great work, which is estimated to oost $90,000,000, will require six years to complete, and it is estimated, will yield a yearly revenue of 917,500,000. There is great opposition to the scheme in certain quarters, notably in the sontb, whose people would derive untold benefits by its successful operation.

The boundary dispute between. Mexico and Guatema'a is of long standing, dating back ita lar as 1822, when the state of Chiapas seceded from Guatemala, then a dependency of the Spanish orow This state had an area.of^some 17y square miles, and had then a population of 200,000. Guatemala was on the eve of her war for independence, and could not afiord to go to war with Mexico over the loss of the Important province. But the loss of the state rankled deep in the hearts of her people, and it has ev«r been an jObject of dispute. In 1843, a commission was created to determine the boundary between the two countries, but it did not succeed in settling the disputed question.' The matter remained in abeyance until 1874, when it was brought up again and a treaty was talked of. In December, 1877, a convention was signed and a commission appointed. But, even after this, negotiations did not advance, for in 1879-80 the Guatemalans invaded the territory and ravaged It so that Mexico finally decided to go to war. But milder methods prevailed, and in 1882 a treaty was signed by President Barrios by which Guatemala relinquished forever all rights to Chiapas, as well, as all claims for indemnity, and the boundary lines between the two repilblios were defined for perpetuity.

Guatemalans who fled from their native land to escape the numerous wars and revolutions have been settling in the territory once in dispute, and have acquired strength and influence. The love for their country, and especially their love for the lost province, which contains some of the finest coffee lands In Mexloo, led them to deolare about a year ago that the boundary fixed by the 1882 treaty was wrong, and that aa erea of several thousand miles should be ceded back to Guatemala. That country backed by the other Central American republics, demanded a new boundary commission and survey, setting aside the treaty of 1882. In addition to this an expedition was sent Into Chiapas that burned and destroyed several villages and a quantity of valuable timber.

MEXICO AND GUATEMALA. The dispatches from Guatemala and Mexico indicate that these republios will go to war to settle the disputed boundary question, and it seems probable that Honduras, Nicaraugua, Costa Rica and San Salvador will unite to assist Guatemala in the fight against what they look upon as their oommon enemy. It is common report from the City of Mexica that If war is once begun it will be one of oonquest on the part of Mexico. Tbe Central American republios perhaps feel that once the Mexicans get a tabte of acquired territory, that the safety of all the republics will be endangeied, and they will therefore unite to repel any invasion.

Mexloo refused forthwith to consider any ohange of the boundary, but demanded that tbe Guatemalan troops be reoalled and damages paid to the amonnt bf $1,800,000. That is praotloally the situation to-day. Guatemala, thongh urged on by the southern republios, seems unwilling to go to war with her formidable neighbor. By means of diplomacy the settlement of the trouble has been put off from time to time until now the war fever in Mexico is at its belgbth. The southern republics claim that Mexloo is trying to gobble bp all Central America, and Mexico says it wants only what belongs to it by virtue of the treaty of 1882.

If it comes to war, Mexico will have much the best of it with Guatemala alone, as the former country bas a standing army of 40,000 and a population of over eleven million to draw upon Guatemala's standing army consists of but 3,718 officers and men, and its estimated population is but little over a million and a half, while all the republics concerned have a. population combined of only a little over three million. It will readily be seen that in the event of war

We very much fear that the statesman from Western Indiana is, without realizing it, in the same condition as the councilman in a small western city, who was besieged his friends and constituents to heme a candidate tor congress. He was very popular, had made a good record for himself, but still refused to be a candidate for the more or less honorable position. When pinned down for a reason for his refusal, be said, that whereas he felt confident that he bad brains enough to fill the position of councilman, and give satisfaction to his constituents, he thought that if called on to spread the same amount of brains over an entire congressional distriot tbe result would not be very flattering to him.
