Poor Old Mexico.

st. Louis, Dec. 15-A special from
Monterey, Mexico, to the Globe-D Demo-
crat, says everything was quiet in that
city yesterday to all outward appear
ances, but there is an u~ndercurrent of
public displeasure which bodies no good
to the military government, that may
break out any minute. The cool treat
ment extended TO Manuel Rodriguez at
the hands of Military Governor General
Reyes, causes dissatisfaction and bitter
ness among the whole independent
party. All outlets to the city are closely
watched by military spies. as not only
Sepulveda, but his officers are out on
parole.
Another dispatch from New Laredo
says the absence of Major Gregory, a

from the election, was greatly wondered
at and commented on. It turned out
to-day that he was put in the soldiers
guard house all day by order of the fed
eral commander and this morning was
ordered to the city of Mexico, The I'M
ceremonious manner in which the pres
emit administration moves troublesome
p%ersonages from a position in which
they may use negative influence, Is con-
siderable commented on.

The silver Problem.

Washington, Dec. l2-Eyery day in
creases the belief that the fight over the
silver question is going to be q very hot
one. Just what steps the silver people
will take in answer to the presidents
statement of views, they have not aeci-
ced. They are seriously discussing the
question, however, and contemplate ls-
SUNG son; sort OF u manifesto III re-
Spouse. The presidents utterance on
the silver question pleases people OF
great cities, especially those OF the east,
but seems to be far from pleasing to the
masses, especially in the west and south.
The representatives from districts out
side the larger cities are generally
found. especially in the west and
south, to favor the silver dollar
Some of the most conservative OF them
would be willing to consent to temporary
suspension OF coinage, but there will be
a very strong part that will object even tt
this. The only hope seems to be in {
compromise measure, but whether any
compromise can be agreed upon is ser
iously doubted. One plan that has beer
suggested is to make silver, either il
coin or bullion, or both, a basis for ma
tional bank currency, substituting it TO
the government bonds as they are takel
up, 1t is doubtful, however. if this plal
would prove at all satisfactory to tb'
banking interests, for it is understood
that the chief value of the present sys
tenn lies in the fact that the bankers ge
interest on their bonds deposited t.
secure circulation itself. The fight owe
the silver question is evidently going t
be o very hot one.

engagement took place there to-day be-
tween Servians and Bulgarians. The
town of Velikisoor was wrested from

ian army, who attacked the Servians.
Upon finding themselves outnumoered
the Bulgarians made signs that they
wished to surrender. The Servians,
who were mostly elderly men, belong.
ing to the second reserve, shouted in re-
ply: "You have already deluded our
ohildren-meaning the youths of the
first reservoir that fashion, but you
will not deceive u.s." Thereupon they
charged the Bu!garians with the bay
onet. scattering them in every direction.
The Bulgarians left many dead and

The Georgia Prohibition Contest.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. l2-To-day IN the
United States court argument was be-
gun in the contest over the late prohibit
ton election in this county. The case
WAS in the shape of a bill Tor an i%niunc-
ton to restrain the ordinary of the
county from declaring the resnit of the
election, a temporary restraining order
having been granted two weeks ago.
The case will occupy two days. Albert
Fl. Cox, representing the liquor dealers,
opened the case. He argued the uncon-
stit~utionality of the bill in that it allows
the sale of the Georgia made wine and
prohibits the sale OF wine made in other
states; that 1t was unconstitutional IN
der the Georgia constitution in that it
allows elections in "wet" counties and
does not allow elections in "dry" coun-
ties, thus not operating alike through
out the stste, and that the proceedings
under the bill were illegal. Affidavits
we're introduced in support of the facts
alleged as to the i!legalllty of the
methods of the election. The arguments
will be resumed Monday.
