BUENos AYREs, Jan. 23.-The increase in
the number Of persons bearing arms is re-
garded by many as seditious menace
against the government. The chief of po-
lice has armed The force with Remington
rifles. Various reasons are assigned for this
action. The people are quiet, and no one
is thinking of revolution. The question at
issue between the Argentine Republic and
Brazil is approaching settlement. Tele-
grams from Rio de Janeiro announce that
the Government Of Brazil has accepted the
memorandum presented by the Argentine

Doctor Goyena Intervention in the Proyin-

Important Telephone Decision.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 23.--The Nebraska
Supreme Court has just rendered an i'm
p3rlanL telephone decision in the case of "a
man who was refused the privilege of be-
coming n subscriber 10 the Nebraska Tele-
phone Company, although he offered to
comply with all The requirements usually
demanded Of subscribers. He brought a
mandamus suit to compel the company 10
permit him TO have the use Of a telephone
upon the usual conditions. The Supreme
Court, in deciding in his favor, held the
telephone company to be public servant
as common carrier, and as such it must
treat all persons alike, and that where no
good reason can be assigned for refusal to
furnish telephone instrument TO person
who offers to comply with the regulations,
writ of mandamus will issue TO compel
any telephone company TO supply such per-
son with the necessary instruments. This
decision defines the position of incorporated
telephone companies to be virtually the
same rs that OF a telegraph company or any
other corporation for the performance of
services ut the hands of the public.

ALEXANDRIA, VA
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20.

Mr.. KELLEY, the great protectionist' mas
introduced bill in the House OF Represen-
tatives providing for drawbacks of all tar'l
duties paid on the articles usedi the manu- anu
facture of exported tobacco. Mr.. Kelley
sees that the duties referred to enable the
foreign tobacco manufacturer to sell MS
tobacco so much cheaper in the markets OF
the world and to put the American manu-
facturer at least upon an equality with MS
foreign com etitor he would remove the duty
on the imported articles used in the manu-
facture of the tobacco sent out OF this coun.
try. What is true of tobacco is true OF all
other American manufactures in the pro-
duction of which imported articles have 10
be used and the drawbacks of duty on them
would be equivalent to revenue tariff. But
Mr.. Kelley is so welded TO protection that
he can only see its injurious effects IN the
case of tobacco.

Presented for Perjury and Forgery.

The grand jury Of the Hastings Court o
Manchester has presented John It. Bowen
81 we'll known builder of this city, and Chas
L. Page, Commonwealth Attorney Of Man
chester-the former for forgery and the
latter for perjury. The action of the grand
jury is subject ofmuch talk, and the cases
have excited unusual interest on account Of
the parties accused being so we'll known
and having so many warm personal friends,
| 1t appears that Mr.. Bowen, during the
early part of the year 1884, having a suit
against Mrs. H. j. Cersley in the Hastings
Court for $3.50, placed in the hands of Chas.
l.. Page, his attorney, a paper purporting
to be signed by Mrs. Cersley, acknowledg.
| ing an Indebtedness of hers 10 Mr.. Bowen,
and promising a settlement at some future
time. This paper was introduced as evil
dence on the trial OF the suit, and Mr.. Page,
| in the absence of Mr.. Bowen, stated that he
| was acquainted with Mrs. Cersley's hand
| writing, and at the trial OF the suit testified
that to the hest of his knowledge and belief
| the signature to the paper was that OF Mrs.
L. J. Cersey.
Mr.. Bowen's case is felony case and Mr..
Pages is misdemeanor. Mr.. Bowen was
taken before Mayor Taylor yesterday morn
| ing for q preliminary examination. Judge
Clopton and Mr.. A. G. Attkisson appeared
as counsel, the former for Mr. Bowen and
the latter for Mr. Page
AS soon as The grand jury returned the
presentment against Commemorative At
torney Page he Immediately informed the
court that he would not represent the
Commonwealth in any of the cases
on the docket until the charges against
him were cleared away. Judge French
requested Mr.. B. A. Hancock to act
as attorney for the Commonwealth.
When he arrived at the court room the case
against Mr.. Bowen was in progress, and
considerable testimony. had been heard.
Mr.. Hancock informed the Mayor that
Judge French had instructed him to repre-
sent the Commonwealth in these cases, and
he ihereupon moved continuance until
Wednesday. A discussion followed between
Judge CIopton and Mr.. Hancock, which
gradually grew more interesting. Finally
the Mayor joined in the talk, and for
while there was lively spat between his
honor and Mr.. Hancock, the outgrowth Of
each perhaps placing the wrong construc-
ton upon The language used. Subsequently
Mr.. Hancock was sent for to look after the
CONFERENCE.-The Interest III Il case DelOTe
the Hastings Court, and his honor decided
to continue the case until Wednesday. Mr..
Bowen was admitted TO bail in the sum Of
$500, Mr.. G. A. Jones becoming his bonds
man. Mr.. Hancock's reason for asking for
continuance was that the grand jury
would in the meantime bring in an indict-
ment against Mr. Bowen and Mr.. Page.
The case excites much interest on account
of the popularity of the two men, who have
always been admired for their strict integ
rity of character. Their friends confidently
believe that when the case comes UP for
trial in the Hastings Court this week the
parties accused will be able to give salts
factory account of the whole transaction

ArA public meeting in London, Wednes-
day night, Mr.. Lowell, the American Minis
ter, said he believed the adoption OF free
trade in America would give England
dangerous competition in all the markets
of the world, because many American fab
RIGS were more honest than English goods
of the same description. Free trade IN
America, he said, would soon enable this
country to equal Epgland's mercantile ma
rine. which had heretofore been impossible
though the operation of the American naVi-
CATION laws and tariff. What sort OF talk Is
that for Mr.. Lowell, a Massachusetts repub-
lican, who was appointed Minister to Eng
land by republican administration AS
heretofore said by the GAZETTE, if the dem
ocrats don't make haste to pluck the now
ripe revenue tariff fruit, the republicans
will get ahead of them.
