A TEMPORARY TRUCE.
Fighting at an End Between Guatemala
and Salvador.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The Star says:
According to cabled advices received in this
city yesterday from Consul General Baiz Of
Guatemala, fighting in Central Amer
lea has come to an end, and
temporary truce exists. The
dispatch reads as follows: Everything is
quiet in Guatemala. Governor Ezeta has
not been recognized by Honduras, as has
been published. Honduras has 1000 men on
the borders of Salvador to protect her
borders against invasion"
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug 11.-All sorts OF
rumors are afloat here to-day regarding the
situation in Guatemala. In the first place
it is said that the President of Guatemala,
Barillas has been deposed and fled to his
old home in Quesaltenango to raise fresh
troops against his foes. Meanwhile, another
rumor, which probably is true one, but
cannot he confirmed tonight, Is to
the effect that the Mexican Govern
ment has detained the revolutionist
General Barrundia, Colonel Garfas and
their followers on the Mexican frontier.
These parties left Tapichula some days ago
to enter Guatemala. Nothing has since
been heard from them. Now it leaks out
from official circles that President Diaz
telegraphed Instructions to the frontier
guards to arrest these maleontents II they
should attempt to cross Into Guatemala.
Salvador's agent here has no news to-day
from his Government.
No confirmation of the statement that
President Barillas has left the capital and
is raising troops at Quezaltenango is TO be
obtained here after most careful and eX-
tensive inquiry. 1t is believed here that he
is still in the city Of Guatemala.
A dispatch received in this city tonight
from the Apachula says: General Bar
rundia, the Guatemalan revolutionist, who
was arrested by tue Mexican authorities,
has been released

Advance in Hides and Leather.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE price of shoes
is to go up. Hides and leather have been
advancing in price within the past few
months: The South shoe manufacturers
contemplate an advance in their prices Of
fully 10 per cent. In fact, at certain points
this rise has already been made. On ac-
count Of the large stocks on hand in retail
ers' stores, this advance may not be noticed
for some time, but eventually it will be felt
The cause for high prices is the scarcity Of
hides, which are now selling at 33 to 40 per
cent more than has been reached since 1873.
Finished calfskins have gone up cents per
pound; oak slaughter, cent; hemlock sole.
2 cents. During the past week the Patent
Leather Manufacturers Association Of
Newark. in which 95 per cent of the patent
leather in the country is made, decided
upon an all-round advance of 10 per cent.

the bill had come from that side of the
chamber and from the State that had
given the largest majority for the Repub-
lican party in the late election. The record
would also show that Droportionately
larger number of Democratic Senators had
responded every time the roll had been
called. He gave notice that every item in
the bill would be discussed, If necessary,
unless it was prevented by force being ap-
piled in some sort Of fashion.
The discussion having turned on the de-
probation Of farming property, statement
was read by Vest as to the depreciation in
some OF the best farming counties in Penn
sylvania, and Cameron remarked that while
the statement was correct tho tariff was
not. in his opinion, the cause OF it. Its
cause was the demonetization of silver in
1873. Ever since that act the price of land
and farm produce has decreased. Since the
passage of the Silver Bill prices had risen
some 20 per cent.
Teller said that. as to the question of haste
In passing the bill, he was not disposed to
deny its opponents fair and free discus
sion. lie was willing to stay and discuss
the tarin question or allow 1t to be dis
cussed, because he believed the American
people wanted to know whether the bill was
proper revision of the tariff.
Finally vote was reached on McPher-
sons amendment. and 1t was rejected with
out division.

having been reached. Vest said it was a
bold, naked attempt by Pttsburg manufac-
turers TO create another monopoly in their
own interests against the consumers of the
United States. He moved to reduce the
rate OF 2 2-l0 cents per pound TO cent-the
present duty, and Edmunds asked leave to
offer an order TO be printed and to 90 over.
1t is to the effect that during the considera-
tion of the Tariff Bill no Senator shall speak
more than once and not longer than five
minutes on, or in respect of any one item,
or any one amendment, without leave OF
the Senate. Such leave is to be gIanted or
denied without debate, and without any
other motion or proceeding except such as
relates to procuring quorum. Until the
bill shall have been gone through with to
the point of its third reading no general
motion in relation to it other than to take it
up is TO be in order. All appeals are to be
determined at once ana without debate.
Finally Ednunds withdrew his orders,
saying lie would present it again to-mOr-
row.
A conference was ordered on the Indian
Appropriation Bill, and Dawes, Plumb and
Call were appointed conferrees.
Allison. from the Committee on Appro-
priati0ns, reported, with amendments, the
House bill Tor an additional clerical force
in the Pension Office. and gave notice that
he would, some time tomorrow, ask the
Senate to consider il. Adjourned.

Edmunds Order

The Tariff Bill Again Under Consideration.
Edmunds Order.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lin the Senate to.
day, after routine business had been dis
posed Of, the Tariff Bill was taken up, the
pending question being Plumb's amend
ment to reduce the additional duty ON iron
or steel hoops cut to lengths for baling pur-
poses from 2-10 to 1-10 of cent per pound.
The amendment was rejected, three Re-
publicans, ingalls,, Paddock and Plumb,
voting in the affirmative.
Mcpherson moved TO amend the para
graph by making the duty on iron or steel
hoops 80 per cent ad valorem instead of
cent, LILO cents and $40 cent per pound.
Sherman spoke Of the little progress that
was being made with the bill. Nearly three
weeks, he said, had been spent upon it, and
not one-fifth of 1t had been disposed OF.
Unless the Senators on the other side
would be satisfied with one vote upon the
question and would then go right along, the
Senate would have to continue in perpetual
session. He did not wish to see any change
in the rules Of the Senate If it could be
avoided. IL the other side would forego
the needless repetition Of amendments and
OF the aye-and-noe votes the Senators
would soon see daylight and soon be able
to go to their respective homes. The bill
had passed the House and had been consid-
cred by the committee of the Senate. lis
general outline being on the scale
of protective tariff, even of a
high protective tariff, the Republican
Senators did not deny that. Itwas the tariff
that would protect American industries
and build up nearly all the industries that
could be employed in this country. II was
a pretty high protective tariff. and there
were some points in it oil which he would
be willing to yield. Still it had been re-
duced in several important particulars be-
low the bill passed by the Senate two
years ago. 1t seemed as though the Senate
ought to make more progress with the bill
Vest said the Senator from Ohio had
stated that the bill was acceptable by his
side of the chamber. The record did not
show that to be a fact. On the other hand,
the most aggressive attacks made upon
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-08-12

Coombs OF Napa could have the nomination
if he desires it, but he still maintains that
he is not in the fight, but wants the first
place, Jordan of Alameda is here and is
making an active canvass, but it is not be-
lieVed that he can win under any circum-
stances. His county is not for him, and
that seems to determine the result abso-
lutely, so far as he is concerned. No other
candidate has yet been discussed, and it
looks as if the Office would go begging.
CHIEF JUSTICE.
The fight for the nomination for Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court is be-
ginning to attract great deal of attention
tonight aud the indications are that Ralph
c. Harrison of San Francisco will give
Beatty the fight of his life. Beatty's friends
were flattering themselves that their man
would have walkover. but Harrison is de-
veloplng such remarkable strength that the
formers friends are losing confidence and
working like beavers. James Hermann of
the San Francisco bar. who is making Har-
rlSOn's fight, has his headquarters at the
Golden Eagle and says his man looks like a
sure winner There are great many dele
gates from various parts OF the State VINO
seem to think that way.
STATE CONTROLLER.
S. L. Hanscom of Staaslaus, and E. P.
Colgan of SOnoma are here, and are both
working for the nomination for State Con-
coached for the place by Morrow's friends.
while Colgan has not allied himself with
either faction in the GubernatOrial fight, so
far as is known. Both are considered
strong but the advantage, if any, seems to
be with Colgan, who is regarded with favor
by many of Markham's friends.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
J. W. Anderson of San Francisco is max
ing gallant fight against Hoitt for Super
intendent Of Public Instruction. and he
will probably be the nominee. They are
the only candidates in the field. and Hoitt
seems to be decidedly weak, SO far as can
be judged.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
Waite of Alameda is about the only candi-
date mentioned for Secretary of State, and
if there is no change in sentiment it looks
as if he would have an easy fight for the
place. He has the sympathy Of hundreds
of Repu OlicanS because of his name having
been withdrawn after being sent to the
Senate by President Harrison as a candi-
date for Appraiser.

and which contains Western mails and
transatlantic connections, had not reached

more or less late.
During the afternoon and evening the
Grand Central Depot was as quiet as though
no strike had occurred. Trains were con-
tinually arriving and leaving, and the en-
tire business of the depot had resumed its
normal condition. Vice-President Webb
said at 9 o'clock this evening and again at
midnight that the situation was the same
that the strike so far as the New York Cen
tral was concerned was at end. The en-
tire passenger and freight service will be
resumed tomorrow and all trains will
leave on schedule time, and all the freight
yards will be open for the reception of

firemen and engineers had disregarded it.

SACRAMENTO. Aug. u.-At late hour it
was stated on good authority that some one
connected with the railroad company had
issued their orders and the henchmen have
bent the pregnant hinges of their knees to
the power that struts. The edict went
forth late tonight, and the result was that

hard to say, But there is no questioning the
fact that it has aided him materially.
1t is claimed, however, that Mark
hams strength has not been affected
in the least. as among the votes
claimed for him were never counted those
controlled by the railroad. Markham's
men are keeping stiff upper lip and are
still smilingly confident They claim 302
votes on the first ballot with ffty-seven as
second choice for Markham. This, of
course, would nominate him. The Morrow
raen claim that this is exaggerated and say
that Markham has but $50 votes. 1t is very
hard TO make any calculation as to
the correctness of any figures, as the fight
Is very badly mixed, but 1t is certain that
Markham has lost no absolute strength
since the railroad order was issued. His
friends claim that they will nominate him
in spite of opposition. TIE Morrow men
are equally confident, but are making no
claims as to the number of votes expected
on the first ballot. II is difficult TO
make any clear prediction, as the man
who sets himself up as prophet now is
likely to lose his reputation. Two confer
enceS Of the managers of the various candi-
dates and leaders Of delegations were held
this afternoon and tonight to agree, if pos
sible. on organization, and Senator Camp
bell was agreed upon for Temporary Chair

LONDON, Aug. lin the House of Lords

agreement with France maintained the

doctrine of Hin terland" France claimed
the countries south of Algeria and TuniS,
and on the same principle the English Niger
Company could claim the territories behind
its present sphere of operations. 1t was
obviously desirable to draw a line separat-
ing the English and French spheres Of ac-
tiyity. The liue agreed upon gave the large

more made remarkable utterance yester-

crove-meeting at Weirs, n. Ii. She said:
:" We believe in Jesus Christ having risen
from the dead. We believe since then that
men have risen from the dead, and that
hereafter resurrection will become more
frequent. In our own belief the time will
come when it will be a common thing for
person to say he has seen such a one who
has been dead perhaps for five years. In
this time eyes will see visions not now

from the spiritual world will be from time
