UprOar III a Panama City Over the Uupopu-
lar Course Of Priest.
Much excitement has been caused in
Guayaquil owing to spanish priest tenn
porarily in charge Of the Bishopric of
Guayaquil having excommun1cated the
Judges of the Supreme Court. A mob,
in which many of the best-known citizens
of Guayaquii were prominent, stoned the
Bishops palace. Thence they went to
the residence of DR.. Nevia, the legal ad-
wiser of the Episcopate. On stones being
thrown, DR.. Nevia and some friends who
were with him fred on the crowd. The
police also acted similarly, Several per
sons were killed and wounded before
troop OF soldiers appeared and restored
order. The governments action IN de-
Tending the church party was the cause
of the trouble which, it is believed, will
be more serious in its consequences.
On January "a the populaee burned
the residence of the BishCh to the cry of
"Death to the Priests although the
streets were being patrolled. Quiet was,
however, temporarily restored when it
became known that orders had been
received to hold strict investigation as
to who was responsible for the deaths
caused by the firing of the police.

Knights of Labor who drink beer will

tive Board of the United Brewery Work
men of the United States has organized a
boycott against it, and the Knights of
Labor throughout the country are indorsing
the movement
Two of the Savannah assemblies have
adopted the resolutions formulated by the
American Federation of Labor at Baltimore
last month, and it is we'll understood that
the other assemblies will follow suit. The
resolutions urge total abstinence from all
Milwaukee beer, and from all beer brewed
from Milwaukee 'scahn malt until the
Brewers and Maltsters Union in Milwaukee
has been recognized by the Boss Brewers
Association. The trouble arose from break
in the agreement between the Milwaukee
brewers and malt house bosses and the local
Brewers and Maltsters' u Mon which was en-
tered into for a year. The union men were
discharged and in retaliation they organized
boycott. Milwaukee beer is sold every
where that any beer is sold and the loyal
Knight, when he puts down his nickle
Tor a schooner, will have to find out
whether it is Milwaukee or not before
he quaffs. The saloon-keepers say they
have not felt the effects of the boycott here
yet, but they are looking for it.
