The Force Bill

The Lynchburg Board OF Trade yesterday
passed resolutions protesting against the psa-
sage of the Lodge election bill.
A meeting of 500 Atlanta business men
yesterday adopted resolutions calling on all
patriotic Americans to direct their influence
against the force bill and unite to sage the
government from being turned into parti-
san despotiam.
Friends of the South In New York think
that Northern men who have investments
III the South will bring pressure to bear
against the force bill that will be more Of
fxctive than any boycott.
IL ia said the opposition In the Senate to
the force bill is increasing and the ind;ca-
lions are that it will not pass.
a telegram from Washington to the Pniia-
dephia Record says: The boycott talk
from Atlanta is being indnstriousiy usad By
Hoer, Spooner and the other friends of The
force bill 10 Induce republican Senators who
are opposed to it to change their attitude.
The fact that this boycott talk ia kept up,
and is not openly rebuked at the South, is
telling on the liberal republican Senators.
just SIS HoGr and Spooner hoped 1t would.
Il they can only arouse enough resentment

The Central American War.

A dispatch from London says: "Ezeta Is
now ruling 10 San Salvador, and GuatemaiaH
Interference is regarded as 9 positive event
uaity. 1t Is generally understood that
Guatemala, with the aid of Honduras, will
10 axe the present crisis In Salvador pre-
text for beginning to carry out the long
cherished echeme of ruling as the supreme
power In Central America. The federal
union is not what Guatemala wants, Is she
has always hated the idea Of standing on
the same level with her smaller sisters. The
absorption Of Salvador would probably be
her first move. Then war with Costa RIGA
and Nicaragua would ensue, and after
having conquered those countries with the
aid of Honduras, she would turn around
and carry out her annexation plan there
also. 1t Ia question whether q strong cen
tralzad government, such es that of Colon
bia, might not be more 10 keeping with the
material interests of CENTS al America, but it
is to be feared that it's establishment would
be the occasion of more harm than good,
and, moreover, there is not u man in the
country capable of combating and conquer
ing Its turbulent elements.
A dispatch from LIE Libertad, San Saliva
dor, says: News has bean received con-
irming reports of the success of the SALIVA
dorian forces beyond the frontier 10 Guate-
malan territory. The Salvador Amy has
now gained ak battles and has captured
quantities OF arms and ammunition. Many
have been killed ard wounded on both
sides. The Salvadorian forces are now
pushing their way into the interior OF Guat-
ems!a and are meeting With success at
every step. Greet enthusiasm prevails.
The intention Is to overthrow the govern
ment of President Bariilos before coming TO
any agreement Ei.h Guatemala. San Sal
vador is deterD;nsd to free herself from the
woke of GusteDab and assure her own ILL.,
erty and independence.
a dispatch from Guatemala City says
Guatemala has on her :.ontier 10 coo troops,
and more are being hurried to the front to
await the issue Of San Salvadot's change of
government. There has not as yet been
formal declaration of var, but Guatemala is
determined to stand By the regular govern
ment in Salvador, and in case Ezeta, the
present dictator, refuses to come to terms
and resign by peaceful means, war will be
declared against him. Ezsta has made
known his willingness to resign lii favor of
the Vice-P President of the former admins
i.st!cn of President Menendez and leave the
couatry, but whether the people ofSalvador
will allow him to do so is st present in abey-
ance. President Bsrillas has Issued de-
cree euspending the guarantee oflndiVidual

tion In the departments of Santa Rosa, Ja.i-

AN UNPREJ UDICED reading OF the cores
pondence between this and the English gov
eminent on the question of the seal fisheries
necessarily creates the impression that up
to the last Presidential election every thing
was proceeding favorably toward sstisfa6-
tory settlement of that question. but that as
soon as Mr.. Harrison was inaugureted a
change came over the whole aspect of the
affair, that it grew more and more threaten.
lug as the months rolled round, and that the
danger of q break in the amicable relations
existing between the two governments was
at one time imminent, and has not yet been
entirely dissipated. Il also shows that Mr..
Blaine's petition is entirely untenable, as to
be otherwise the whole of the northern POI
ton OF the Pacific ocean must be declared
closed to The ships of all countries except
those CT the United States.

The federal election bill has been con-
pleted by the republican members of the
Senate elections committee and is now 10
the hands of the printer. II is the Lodge
bill made to approximate the Honr bill.
and is equally as obnoxious IS the original
Davenport bill. There Is some talk of absn-
doning IL for the respportionment bill by
which the South will lose fifteen and the
North gain that maHy congressman, but the
prevailing impression is that the Force bill
will be passed and hat astrong effort will be
made to pas the sppor,ionment bill also.
