On Jan. 21 Senor Romero, Mexican minister at Washington, notified his government of meeting with Mr. Greeham, ad adds: In the course of conversation air. Gresham showed me that his teie- ram to Mr. Gray did not imply any in-erventlon of this government either with regard to Imposing conditions on the Mexican government, and this telegram would not prevent Mexico from going as she see best to it, in Its question with ouaremaia.

Senor Romero further informed his gov ernment on Jan. 25 that Secretary 'SJftarpot--Io Jenor tsb" had informal! aflat by virtue of the opinion expressed by Mr. Gresham that the persistence of Mr. allies Rock, as chief of the commission of the Guatemalan boundaries, was embarrassing to the United States, on account of his being a citizen of the United States, and attributing to him in part the pending difficulties the government of had agreed to remove him from this office."

The Colorado A. R. Wants Him for -Commander. Denver, May 2. Before the G.

A. R. encampmeut for the department of Colorado and Wyoming convened to-day there was much discussion among the veterans in attendance on the recommendation made by Department Commander RoUlns for the appointment of a committee to prepare a memorial to the next national encampment in favor of extending fraternal aid to confederate veterans. The suggestion was generally received with favor, and leading members expressed the opinion that the principle advocated by General Kolllus would receive the indorsement of the encampment, which assumed its secret session at 10 o'clock to-day by a delegation from the encampment who waited on the ladles of the convention this forenoon, and assured them that the veterans recognised their organization, and accorded them the place to which they were entered as' co-workers of the veterans. The impression that has got abroad that General Rollins favored extending pensions to confederate veterans is incorrect.

What he proposed was the establishment of a home for indigent and suffering soldier veterans. His exact worda were as follows: There remains one other subject of which I wish to speak. The war is over. We are, 1 may also say, for the first time a united people. This station Is great enough, intelligent enough, sufficiently advanced in all that goes to make up what we call civilization when victorious, to be generous and even liberal to the vanquished.

The south, or at least many parts of it, is not the home, but rather the stopping Slace of many poor, crippled, broken-own old men. They were brave soldiers, not the leaders, but In the ranks of an army whose record for bravery and aol-dlerly conduct cast no atain upon our fnmn fl nflttrtn amnntr noMnna a they were not our comrades, in the Grand. jxi uiy leuw, um mfj am tjut orutners In the American sense. A home somewhere in the sunny south, where those old soldiers can be cared for, sheltered, fed, clothed rfnd in sickness nursed, will cost but little comparatively. It will soon be too late to be generous.

There is but one place where a movement of this kind can start, and that is in the Grand Army of the Republic" This forenoon session of the encampment was spent In routine work. So far as learned there was no discussion of General Rollins' recommendation, and no action was taken In -regard thereto. 'The morning papers misquoted what I said about our brothers in the south," declared General Rollins to an Associated Press reporter "I never suggested a pension for the men against whom we of the Grand Army fought. The idea I wished to convey waa that the north and south are reunited, and that we are all equally the children of the great republic. I dopH see how could have been so represented, but my words are a matter of record." i A Receiver Denied.

New York. May 2. Judge Bookstaver. in the special term of common pleas, to-" day adjourned a motion made on behalf of Attorney Haycock to appoint a receiver for the Mutual Fire Insurance Company. SHOT THE EXGIXEEB.

The Deed Probably That of Revengeful Tramps. Bloomlngton, I1L, May 2. The St. Louie and Chicago train, due here at 2 a. waa held up by robbers half a mile north of Carlinville, Macoupin county, last night.

Three men boarded the locomotive and ordered the engineer, Frank Holmes, of this city, to hold up his hands. He refused and was shot and instantly killed. Three shot were fired. All three robbers were caught and Jailed at Cailn-vllle. The one who shot Holmes was captured by a mail clerk as he was eettinc off the cab.

No one waa hurt. The murderer climbed upoh the blind 1 baggage car. supposedly at jarnnvi.ie, there he climbed over the tank and ordered Holmes to stop the train and began firing. Holmes was killed at me first fire. Fireman Frank Tuggle escaped Injury.

Fireman Tuggle then ran the train back to CarllnviKe. If is not known whether robbery was Intended or not. Engineer Holmes yesterday, when going south from Carllnville, compelled Borne tramps- to get off the train, and also ran some tramps off that were burning cars on the and it is thought that some of these men are his murderers. Holmes' home is in Bloomington. Chicago.

May 2. Officials of the Alton Road deny emphatically to-day that there was any attempt to hold up the train at Carllnville last night, when Engineer Frank Holmes waa shot and killed. The shooting, they say, was done by tramps. John J. Mitchell, of St.

Louis, a director of. the road, who waa on the train, said to-day; "It is absurd to talk of a train robbery in connection with that affair. The three tramps simply intended to take possession of the tender and ride free. They climbed aboard and Engineer Holme ordered them off. When they refused to leave he picked up a piece of coal to throw, when one of the men fired, with fatal, result.

There woe evidently no intention on the part of the men to attempt robbery." Tho officials of the road think they have the murderer of Holmes In jail, who was caught as he was leavlug the tender. He Is smooth-shaven, and while the fireman Is not able to positively identify him, he says- the man who did the shooting was beardless. The supposed murderer was hatless when captured, and a hat tli.it fits him was found on the tender. The real names of the tramps are not known to the authorities. More Serious Than Supposed.

Chicago, May 2. The hold-up of the Chicago and Alton north-bound lightning express last night near Carllnville. appears to have-been a much more desperate affair than first reported. Immediately upon the arrival of the train In Chicago to-day a representative of the Associated Press Interviewed Mall Clerk 'J. P.

Keevers. who was aboard at the time of the attack. Mr. Keevers said: "The train was Chicago and Alton No. 3, from St.

Louis at 8:55 last evening. It was held up by armed robbers at Carllnville Just before midnight, and in a plucky fight with the robbers Engineer "Carllnville Is 57 miles from St. Louis, I there on schedule time at 11:14 and be- Ku iu- rim iu iiriRnion, me rextrsguiar stop.

Proceeding on to the engine cab, the armed men ordered the two firemen (one extra man reaming the road) to throw up their nanQs. covering the engineer and ordering nlth so shut off steam. The engineer Complied and the desperado ordered him to give her a full head and be lively about it.

Holmes made a pretense of doing so, and the robber, apparently satisfied, vtepped back a foot or two. Engineer Holmes was on the alert for the opportunity presented, and telzlng the fireman's pick, used in breaking ccal, he dealt the robber two quick, glancing blows on the head. Both robbers at once opened flr and plucky Frenk Holmes fell dead in the gangway of his engine, with thre- bullet-holes In l.Is breast. The fireman shut off steam and put on the air. The heavy train slowed down and the robbers Jumped.

A nnmber of men had been riding on the rear platform -of the nwOl car. and at the first report two of the wall clerks working at the letter cine heard one of them exclaim: "There, they are shooting; let ns get Jumping off. they realized that their plans had miscarried. After a moment they started to flee.

Conefrey refused to release him. and getting hie revolver in a line with the man's heart, he told him that he had an. earnest man to deal with. Logan and Conefrey turned their man over to Conductor Conlin. The man with a rifle put no such a story that Conlin decided he was not guilty and released him.

The passengers and others believe that serious mistake. The man with the Inchester was a counterpart of the desperado, from appearance and attire.

Grubb. TO HOLD A COJTVEXTIOS. The Irish-Americans to Start a New Policy at Independence. New York. May 2.

The following will be published here to-morrow: "A motive has been set on foot to hold a convention of Irish-Americans in one of the large cities at an early date. A of gentleiqen who nave been prominent in the Irish cause, and who are of various schools of political thought, have come to the conclusion that the time has come for Irish-Americans to inaugurate a new and bolder policy in the Interest of Irish independence. The agitation known as the Paruell. or parliamentary movement, ns far as Irish nationality is concerned, is dead. The home rule question has been ruled out of practical British politics by the British people.

The new movement abides by the decision, as far as the further prosecution of parliamentary agination Is concerned; but. determined--to keep the flag of Irish lndependcpe still flying, will devote Itself "iurcinc the Irish question upon tj attention of the world In such a BHiuner as will Inevitably cova-pcl more satisfactory to Ireland than any heretofore offered by VS British party. "Mr. Gladstone aaid, in moving his borne rule bill: 'If. therefore, the resistance to this measure was to be bitter, obstinate and prolonged, the question of repeal might finally become an international one." "The promoters of the new movement have been driven to adopt the- alternative suggested by Mr.

Gladsoue, and will try to make the demands of Ireland a subject for International consideration. 'Several hundred Irish-Americans have pledged their sympathy and co-operation, and the names are representative of every section of the United States. Men from the most dlstaht points, including such cities as Seattle, Tacoma and Los Angeles, and the vniloua centres In Montana, Idaho and Colorado, have signified their intention of being present at the meeting. All are unanimous that the proposed movement is not only opportune, but a positive necessity for the Irlsr cause." KECROLOGV. James Sorley.

It Was Held in the Preshyteraln Church at Henderson. Henderson, May 2. Services- over the remains of Arch. Brown were held shortly before noon f-day in the First Presbyterian church, the regular pastor officiating. Following the caket came the Governor and Mrs.

Brown, Dr. Young Virginia and Evelyn, dead man's sisters. The rites were very short and simple. The choir sang "Come ye Disconsolate, a chapter from the Bible was read and a prayer offered. The congregation sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," concluding the exercises.

The eoflln, completely covered with beautiful floral designs, was Diaced in the hearse and the cortege moved to Fern wood, where the iqst sad ceremonies were performed. Hon. Henry Waterson, Secretary of State Headley, Hon. Nicholas McDowell, Captain Gross and other prominent people accompanied the governor to Henderson. An intimate friend of Bush family, Mrs.

Gordon's relatives, is authority for the statement that so far aa they are concerned nothing would be done towards pushing the prosecution against Fulton Gordon. They are anxious, for the whole unfortunate affair to be hushed up and will allow the matter to drop. A special from Henderson, says Governor Brown will take no steps towards prosecuting Fulton Gordon for the killing of his son. Arch. Dixon Brown.

The governor was seen here to-day and the statement can be made authoritatively. The statement is further strengthened by tho words of the governor's who said: "The governor will do nothing towards prosecuting Gordon. He will simply let matters take their course." Governor Brown and wife will return to. Frankfort to-morrow. Mr.

Charles Shield, one of Gordon's attorneys, said to-day that no continuance would be asked Saturday if Gordon's condition permitted bis presence ln court. It is (expected Godon'a plea will be self-deftfnse as to the killing of Brown, and that he will testify that Brown fired the first shot. His defense for killing his wife will, in all probability, be temporary insanity. -Held for Examination. Springfield, May 2.
