WASHINGTON , Mnrch 18. A person high in the councils of the democratic party , but who , for evident reasons declines to have his name used , unburdened himself to your correspon dent to-day. Ho BAld that from the com mencement of his official career , circumstances have conspired to give Urover Cleveland moro prominence than hla talents warrant , and it would ho just his luck for this Central American complication to force him into a prominent poiitton on the roll cf the presi dents of the United States or possibly making hm next in history to Line 'In nnd Washing- ton. Just sea how the matter stands. Ilia administration is only two weeks old , yet ho has practically alUnttted the great tariff re form wing of the party , and ils leading repre sentatives. _ The Louisville Coulter-Journal has eorved notice on him that he will have a fipht on his hands unlees ho chances his front. To change his front would ha to brine the whole protec tion ring to arms. But , as said , his prover bial luck promiios to get him out of thu mud dle nnd make him , not only tin president of the whule democratic party , but of the whole nation Bayard understands the whole Kitualion , nnd is to provide to take advantage of it to tbo fullest extent. You can't hava failed to notice how ho has been strutting nround with a chip on his shoulder , nnxions for somebody to shako it , ever f inco Barrios issued his proc lamition , Why ho has been more pronounced in his manner than oven Secretary DLiine , the npoetle of as strong a foreign policy as over waa. and ho goes oven biyond the limits of the Monroe doctrine. Th t doctrine goes to the point of holdiu ? that no Kuropean nation shall bu allowed to interfere 'n the government - ment relations cf our southern neighbors Secretary Bayard does cot limit it to that , but asserts taut the autocracy of the nations of Central America mustb * maintained amonp themselves , and thut the United States will BOO it done In earnest of ibis , all available war vessels hive been dispatched to the adja cent waters , with strict instructions to insist on thodoctiino thus enunciated , and with orders to look to the health of the men with 3 vlnw to a protracted stay there. The moaning of all this la very on dene. It it jingoism with the subsidiary in tentton of diverting the attoution of the country from tto perplexing tariff question ? I'll tell you what is a fac"- " , this administration would be extremity B'wry ' if Barrios ehould ba ecared elf from his mtoutions by the state department ) ) immtuclamonto , und would bo extremely well pleased if ho would go so fur as to give n pretext for landing two or three rrgiiuenti of federal troops in Nicaragua , for th purpose of protecting our treaty rights. You , of course , noticed that in hia communi cation to the Hsnate , linyard "ntated that Barrios' object was to defeat the carrying out of the Niearaguon canal froaty. Such a war would , of course , be only n breakfast spell for this nation , assisted na it wuuld bo by San Salyadar , Nicaragua , Costa Ilica and Moxlco , against Guatemala and Honduran , but il would be a war nevertheless , and the nation being in for it , must inevitably sink all minor connderations at homo , and support the ad minUtration , afler twenty years of the proud est peace the n tim : has ever known. Don't you see oven this little scrapping match would lift the present administration out of the slough Into which It is rapidly sinking , and sot It up In business with greater eclat , og the administration with a vigorous foreign policy ready t maintain the honor o thiu great Yankto nation at all Imzirdp , Then there's another point , and u strong one ; It wuuld , as it wore , furnigata the democratic trarmonts and forever relieve them of the lingering odor ot secession nod rebellion , which fur twenty yearn kept the p..rty in ( iiiarantluo outside the national capital , ' Thpru'ditlll another point in tlio situation , " continued the speaker' which , you may rest iisiurud , bus not been overlooked by the ad ministration. "Tho d pitches statn that a British gunboat landed Boxenty-fivo marines ami galling guns in the belligerent territory. It wouldn't bo very hard to construe that act into hi each of thu Monroe doctrine , would it , If ono were really spoiling for a light ? You remem ber that during the latu war , when Gro.it Britain ctmo at us and m&de us take water over the Mason-Shdull affair , that James Russell Lowell said this , In the Blgelow pa pers ; 1 It don't teem hardly right , John , Wheu both my hands are full , To stump me to a light , John Your courtin1 , too , John Bull.1 Well , things are different now. The author of the Bigelow papers is now minister at the court of her most Christian majesty l ueou V Ictoria and it is Great Britian thut now has her hands full , not to mention employment for legs In defending herself against Kl Mahdl and Russian Bear. Wouldn't It bo rather a popular thing to tell her to get out of Central America or light , knowing beforehand she would get out ? and wouldn't tbelruh who went to Blaina last fill Hock back into the democratic camp , and yell for the man who isn't afraid of Kngland ! Ye ? , oil in oil , the present administration would bo very > orry if compelled to settle tht Central American complication without i Grovcr'H Bin lit ] ay. WABIIINOTON , March 18.

In executive session of the senate to-day the injunction of the secretary was removed from the following resolutions introduced by Ed munds last i riday tnd agreed to by the senate yesterday : Wherca ? , The senate of the United States utm learned that the government of the lie- public of Uuatamalu has net on foot or thtuat em to sec on foot an invasion of the territories of the republics of Nicaraugnn , Costa Kica , and Sau Salvador , with the profeesed object of consolidating into ono government , Cen tral America by force of arms , and against the wi < hu3 of the several republics concerned ; and Whereap , There is pending between the United State ) and the Republic of Nicaragua a treaty providing for the construction of ni inter-ocoania canal aero B the continent and in the republic of Nicaragua for the genera ! benefit i f all the c ntr l American republics as well as the United States , which treaty it i ] understand the republic of Nicaragua hm ratified. Therefore bo it Keeolved ; As the judgment of the sen ate that in view of the special nnd important interests of the United States in conjunction with those republics of Nicara gua nnd Co.4a Rica , in the inter-oceanic transit across the continent , so in tha programs of adjustment , any invasion of the territoryof Nicaragua or Costa Rica by the forces of Guatemala , under tli9 circumstance1) und with the purposes before stated is rcgardo J by the geuato , and ought to be treated by the United States as an act unfriendly and uf hostile interfei once , with the riehto of tha United States , and of the republics of Nicaragua and Costn Kica , In rerpect to the said matter.

GOING KOll UAIUUO9. TUB AMERICAN KAGLK SCIIEAMB. Chicago Times Special. WASIIINOTON , March 17. The Kdmunda resolution , which the senate has been consid ering in the last two or three executive sec- BIOIIB , is a conditional declaration of war against Guatemala and Honduras , It recitea the well-known facts In regard to the attempt of Barrios to override four Central American stato" , and then declares that in riow of our interests in Nicaragua , his course is unfriendly to the United Stues , and warns him that if he does not desUt It will be the duty of the United States to mo whatever means miy be necofsary to atop him. This resolution wai rather lan guidly debat'd to-day , becautto most of the debate has already occurred and because very few senators have been oppoiing the resolution. The rejolntion was adopted by a vote of 40 to 7 , th affirmative vote being cast by bitli republicans and democrats , ana the negative vote consisting of live or fix democrats and one or two republicans. Among the demo crataot the minority were Bluckburn nl Kentucky , and Rantom and Vance of Nortt Carolina , There waa proposition made tc remove - THE INJUNCTION Ot' SECBECT from the communica'iou ot Secretary Bayard und Senator Ktlnumils wanted the lojucctior uf secrecy removed not only from hla reeolu tlon , but from the vote upin it. Mr , Morgai objected to the removal of tha injunction o secrecy from these matters until be was as lured that Secretary Bayard was not enl Iv ; willing , but wai veiy desirous that hia lette should go to the public. Mr. Morgan thei withdrew his objecthn , but Mr , Sherman a once renewed It , and the matter OBJ over to the next eiecutlvo teatidn , with a ttron probability that tha senate will then m k public all these Central American docu ments. One curious thing la that for years the tw , greatest stickler * for the sanctity of txecutiv Betslom and literature wera Senators liayaii and JCdmunds. No Secretary ISayaid i anilous tint the public thould have the bcneti of bi first itate paper , and Senator IMmundi having asiumed an aggresiively American at titude toward A pigmy Central America etate , and being supported there lin ! o- by a largo majority of th . innate , not only wants the public t It know whit A valiant patriot la , but In want - the public to know who were the levm me so lacking in tiue American spirit that they voted against hi § resolution. He la opposed to leaving these seven mlrguldod gentlemen to enjoy the protection afforded by an execu tive session. If senators go on at this rate , they will speedily bring executive tesiloni to an end or into ridicule , through their do ire to have their own positions understood by the country , COMPTROLLER Ol" TUB TRKASORV.

Ho has been for some year * unabla to leave his bed , although his ir.ind is apparently as bright as ever. He has been gradually growing weaker for the last three months , and it is now apparently but a bilof question of tfme when lie must dio. A singular fact In connection witli Air , Walter' < i Jong lifo is the comparatively recent restoration IIi II bis eyrs'ght. ' For fully forty years he had been unable to read without his epectacles. : One day about a year ago ho discovered him- i elf , to his great HIU prise , rending without his glasses. Ho thought it muit be some mUtake , and called his daughter itr iii-law and asked her if no bad hlsglapien on , She asmrod him that ho was reading without spectacles. Since then he has not used glaseos at all , and oven the finest printi it't not troubled him. Ho was born In count y Monaqban , Ireland , on St , Patrick' 't day , 177'J.

You ecu how ho has crawhd out ef It now. Well , ten to ono ho or his friends have nlrcady telegraphed tn New York tear range a meeting with Sullivan , ami I wiilbot , if the mcotinu takes plnco at all , that it will tnkophcein Butte City , notwithstanding Ryan's aversion to mooting Burke there.

IIo knows that if ho and the "Irish lad" had come tognther in Butte City or anywhere oUo and Burke bad won the fipht his chancen of receiving a. licking at the champion's hai ds would have been knocked higher than Gildoroj's Kito. Pos- tibly he may bo willing to meet Burke after he has met the champion , provided the latter leavei enough of him to msko a decent showing in the ring ; but Burke will bo wise in refusing to entertain any proposition from Ryan in the future. No ono doubts that ho has boon sincere in his wish to hayo a RO at tha bie fellow , and that , had the mooting been arranged , ho would have Htepped over the ropes and done his level best to the close of the light.
