New York, Seit. 10.-No little Interest is expressed in moneyed circles here over official statements conveyed to the State DciKtrtment by Uie American consul at Honduras, to Uie effect that the govera mcnt. of t hat republic i s nnder control of Anjenciu capitalists This Is a fact to the extent of wonderful concessions having been made by Uie government to an or ganization or wealthy New Yorkers. What Uie consideration was in not defi nitely known. bui it Is asserted hers that in order, to prevent the republic from becoming involved lu the ineshes of bank ruptcy several millions or dollar were advanced. It is h Mr enterprise and the public was. not asked for its aid For the men who are interred have plenty of ready money to advance in a worthy cause, und they are those who know . Rood thinff when thev see it. On the board of directors of the concern appear the names of John Jacob Asror. Dr. Seward Webb, Channcey M Depew-, J. J. McCuIlagh, Frederick B.

Yanderbllt'.s daughters, as well as the piesident of the Wagner Palace Cai Company. It is declared by Mr. Depew that none of the Yanderbilt millions has been put in the syndicate, llut in completing his oiganlwttton Mr. Sprague was fortunate enouiih to secure the names of Dr. Webb and Mr. Depew, and the weight of their n-m.es was or a mateiial aid to him in interesting the other gentlemen named. When Mr. Sprague made his visit to Honduras lie succeeded beyond his fond est hopes. The Government was will ing to grant him everything he wauled if the men of millions whom he repre seated would only Mume certain finan cial obligations that would save the re public from ruin They could coutrol the custom-houfe, the railroad, th tele graph and everything else in sight for a long term of yew s.

Y 'ind when Mr. Sprague once got the ap proval ot tl.e pres.dcntfor his plans he had all l.c wanted. He hurried back to New York and saw the nieniintiprs of the syndicate. Then ho cIoschi the dual Th natareof it has been kept very much or a secret so far, but it is known that the plan includes not only the completion and control of the Hondu ras Railway, the management of its tele graph sysm and the dictation of tariff duties at the custom house, but alao the establishment of a national bank to carry out a Hsc-il policy for paying off the Hon duras debt The government promises not to interfere for five years at least. It is also on the cards to es'ablish a steamship line from Truxillo, on the Atlantic coast of Hon dnras, to Belize, in Bolivia. A plan is lfoot al?o, i t is said, to instigate emigration from here to Honduras for men who canstand the climate, -which in very trying to those ac customed only to the temper te zone.

The Potomac River comes within the Baltimore inspection dis trict, and these inspectors have their of fices in the Monumental City, but the in vestiuatloii Itself will be held here at Georgetown. The investigation will not bo so much for the purpose of getting at the real facts of the collision, as It will be to determine if the officers of each steamer did all in their power to avoid the acci dent. The main facts have already been brought tf the attention of the MeamlJo.it inspectors by the captains of the twoboats. Under the rules of the Steamlioat Inspec tion Service of the Treasury Department, the inspectors have the full power of sum moning the witnesses and virtually putting the captains or commanding offict rs of the vessels concerned on trial ushow wiy inrv should not be deprived of their licenses. The burden of proof usuallj rests upon the officials to show that they did all in their power to prevent tha accident. The rules of the inspectors regarding fog whistles provide that eacli ste-im ves sel shall sound its fog whistle at intervals of one minute. The accident occurred dur ing a fog, ami it will be important to bring out the facts regarding the blowing of whistles. The exact day for holding th? investiga tion will depend ujion th? speed with which the inspectors complete an investigation now being made in Baltimore. COAL OIL. VICTIMS.

The loosened bridle slipped back, over the trotter's head. Tossing his head with delight at his new-found liberty, Manassa Boy broke into a gnllup andranaway. Smith dropped the reins, stood up and jumped astraddle of the liorse's back. Behind him thudded the hoof ot tlie other linrtes. A stumble by Smith or the least swerving by his run away horse would, mean a collision, a spill and almost certain death for one man or more iu tne ruck. A groan went up from the crowd. Clossly packed as the spectators were arotrtd tlm smalt track:, they could easily see everything that happened, for the sun light was fierce and strong. The little track became the theater of a tragedy where a man .fought for his life.

He tied a slip- f knot in one end of it and so made u noose. With a gentle twist of the wrist, Smith shot the noose rorwanJ. It hung on the horse's nose, and Smith carefully drewli back until it passed the ears and settled at the throat. Then, with u mighty backward heave, the driver drew the noone taut. It fasten ed around the gelding's throat as tight as the roll of a python. Manassa Boy stopped running as soon, as he felt hi breath shut off. He reared and plunged aud slio-ik his head, but Smith only sat there and coolly watched him.
