Min ister Rodriguez was for a . ime in Washingtou^O years ago adt agent for Nicaragua in a boundary dis pute with Costa Rica, whi/ffi the President decided as arhiul&tor.

Such recognition is given and such re lations entered upon in the dis tinct understanding that the re- sponsihlity of each of their re publics to the United States of America remains wholly unaf fected I discern in the articles of asso ciation from which the diet de rives its powers a step toward*) a closer union of Central American States in the interest of their common defence and general wel fare, and I welcon e it as the pre- curser of other steps to be taken in the same direction, and which it is hop'*d may eventually result in the consolidation of all the States of Central America as one nation for all the purposes of their foreigu relations and inter courses. » To you I extend a cordial greet ing, both personal and official, and trust that your renewed resi dence in the capitol of this coun try will be as agreeable in its per sonal relations as I believe it will be useful and profitable for the countries you represent, between each of which and the United States has always existed and it is hoped will always exist, the closest ties of friendship.

Bold brk nf Rjrjflnrft ml Ui« Klonntivp Depot. gstree, Dsc. 231.—The ex- office, which is situated in brtheaster'i railroad depot at. lap was broken into Iasi /.d the door of the safe blofu open with dynamite. Th" work was done bj expert burglars, huts>rtnnately the robbers were frightened nwav just about the timwthey succeeded in getting th*- safeidoor open. It seems that two men'bho were returning to Geor gia, erove up to the depot, think ing t iac the fast, mail train that pass- a here between midnight and dayl ; 'nt, stopped, and they might be aMe to board the same. Upon goin; up to the office they found the door open Mid a quantity of smoke coming from within; seeing no o. e, and looking in they saw the ooors of the gafe lying upon the floor. They at once became frig v umed and proceeded up town hotel, w here there stayed in e otfioe until daylight, and then returned to the depot, where they found agent Graham, and they made know n their rambling "f the night before, and upon investiga ting, it was fmmd that not a sin gle thing bad been removed from the depot or express office, which can only be accounted for the fact that these two Georgians arrived at the depot just about the time the burglars accomplished their work aud ufteing tb**m they wore fright ened away. It can scarcely bye said that any clue as yet exists to the robbery, though railroad detectives wer* immediately set to work to hunt down the robbers—The State. Married.
