j lu l{{0 Parker has issued a signed statement in which holays ex-Se'nator Hill was not opposed to his nomina tion for Governor of New York. On Iho other hnnd ho says ex-Scnator Hill urged him to accept the nomina tion, but that ho declined, and reqnes tod Hill to seo that ho wasn’t nomina ted at Saratoga, No doubt this state ment is absolutely truo, aud that Sen ator Hill has l>eon done great injustice in this matter in many newspapers. Hill's fatal mistake was his coal plank. Hevond that blunder, he seems to Lave done all ho could to achieve suc cess. It is truly a national calamity that a man of such superb ability should allow himself to havo been dominated by William R. Hearst, the erratic young yellow journalist, in incorporating Hearst’s pet theory, the government ownership of coal mines, in the state platform. land of desolation Country Ruined by Recent Volcanic Outburst.

A special judiciary committee of the house has reported favorably on tho hill to increase tho salaries of judges ..f the superior court to St,000 a year. Our judges nro certainly not over paid and tho salary of the Chief Ex ecutive of tho state is too small by far. A poor man could hardly afford to occupy the position, ns it requires more than tho snlary paid him to sup port his family and entertain in manner that tho dignity of tho posi tion requires.

Nov. 22.—The Pica yune this morning prints the follow ing letter: Port Barrios, Guatemala, Nov. 16. Refugees who have arrived here this week from western Gautemala report a terrible state of affairs as a result of the eruption of the Santa .Maria volcano. The country for a radius of over 30 miles has been made a desolate waste, and every vestige of life destroyed. The Iocs of life is estimated at over '.000, the great majority of tho vie tlms being Indians. Ten Indian vil lages. each with a population of from 50 to 5,000 inhabitants, were wiped out, the rude huts being burled be neath tons of volcanic debris. Ail of the coffee plantations in the vol canic zone are ruined, and their own ers left penniless. The coffee plan tations In this region were the most valuablo in tho country and their de struction Is a severe blow to tho re public. Trying to Conceal Facts. Tho govermuent has been making tho most strenuous efforts to conceal the facts concerning tho catastrophe, but they aro gradually reaching the towns on tho western coast througa the refugees who aro fleeing from the country. All cable messages con taining reference to tho eruption of tho volcano are rigorously censored and oven the malls are closely in spected by tho government officials. The government hopes by concealing the facts to prevent Gautcmala's credit from being damaged abroad. The effort to minimize the disaster abroad, however, has failed to relievo tho situation at home. The greatest distress prevails throughout tho cen tral and western portions of the requb- lie, and even on the eastern coast tho effects are felt In the scarcity ol money and tho rise In exchange. Famine at Quetzaltenango. A famine prevails at Quetzaltenan go, and 10,000 people are starving. Even In GautemalaCIty, the capital, the inhabitants are suffering for food. Flour Is selling In Gautemala City for $25 a barrel In gold, and rlco ol an Inferior quality. Is quoted at 20 cents n pound In gold. The govern ment Is utterly unablo to relievo tho distress and suffering, and tho people are on the verge of a revolution. The only thing needed to start a formid able uprising Is the appearance of a leader. Senor Herrera Telia of Horror. Mexican Mfictann.

Perflrio Herrera, who owned a val uablo plantation 7 miles from the Santa Marls, volcano, was among the refugees who arrived hero today and sailed for Nicaragua. Senor Herrera In an Interview describing the situa tion, said: ‘‘I was In Guatemala City looking after my buslnoss Interests when the terrible eruption of Nov. 6 occurred. The shocks from tho explosion were plainly felt In the capital, causing great excitement among the people. The next day tho nows of the fright ful havoc wrought by tho Santa Miv rla reached this city, and l started at once for my plantation. I reached a point 4 miles from my homo on Nov. 6, but I was unable to go any furthef on account of tho stifling fumes and gases from the volcano which wai still active, and emitting huge col umns of fire and ashes.
