that country would not be able TO stand
before the Americans in a single battle.
and that the struggle would be almost
bloodless as far as the whites was con-
cerned. He refused TO show upon what
grounds he was proceeding and SAID that
his negotiations were with an
agent OF Guatemala and were
not completed. He said that he would
have no trouble in raising 5000 men
within week il his plans went through.
The captain and major are both well
known men and have records of bravery
in three wars. Capt. Phelan has an
almost worldwide reputation as
swordsman. His adventure in New
York some years ago, when he was
stabbed by Short, gave him a national
reputation. He showed letters from
men in all ranks in life who were desir-
GUS of enlisting their fortunes in the
Guatemala project. He promised to
give definite Information of the plans in
the course of a few days.

CAPT. THOMAS PHELAN.
Negotiating With an Agent of Guatemala
to Enlist an Army to Conquer
San salvador.

Special to the Gazette.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 4.-Some
days ago the Associated Press sent out a
dispatch from this city stating that Capt.
Thomas Phelan was in correspondence
with an agent of the government OF
Guatemala for the purpose of raising
men to go to that country to aid IN the
war with San Salvador. The dispatch
stated that the captain wanted $50 200
placed to his credit in New
York bank when he would raise
5000 men. With considerable difficulty
an interview with the captain and while
he prefaoed his remarks with the state
meut that there was nothing to tell yet
in the matter, he showed there was
something on foot. In the converse
ton he stated he was not at the
head of the movement. but that major
of the Ninth Massachusetts was the
leader. He said that the statement that
he wanted $50 600 placed in New York
bank was wholly untrue, as that would
not begin to pay the expenses of recruit
ing that number of men, let alone equip
them. Capt. Phelan is enthusiastic III
the matter. He says that with 5000 well
armed Americans man could go to
Guatemala and conquer the whole conn-
try and proclaim himself dictator He

ago man stepped into the barber shop
for shave. Bowen recognized the man
as Brown 8 murderer and went out after
an officer. He failed to find one and
the man walked out again.
Bowen ran across the man, but
no officer was near and again
his man got out and away. To-day he
sped his man again, and the city officers
arrested him. He gave his name as
George Sewel, and claims Pilot Point,
Tex. as his home. Bowen says he is
the man without doubt, and the deserip-
ton of the man who did the shooting
talIies fairly with that of the man under
arrest. Sewell claims to be able to
prove an alIbi. At present he is in jail.

Hurting Both North and South Rogers OF
Arkansas Arraigns the speaker for
His Arbitrary Action.
Explanations Cut Short.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-On Saturday
night Speaker Reed sent out sixty tele-
grams to members of congress who are
absent from Washington, informing
them of the action of the house in re-
voking their leave of absence. Some
members have already returned, in obe-
dience TO the order. Answers have
been received by the speaker from
large number of others, saying they will
be here Tomorrow or next day. The
returning members are in no emiable
mood, as may be imagined, on being
compelled to return here at this time,
and great deal of growing was heard.
Most of the Republican members who are
absent had returned to their districts be-
cause their presence was greatly
required there to put their
political fences in order, and
explain to their disgruutled constituents
why they voted this way and didn t vote
that wny on important measures. A
large number of thee members had
good deal to explain about their vote on
the tariff bill, but their explanations to
their constituents have been cut short by
the exigencies of the party requiring
their presence in Washington.
SPEAKER REED
to-day made to your correspondent the
most important announcements which has
yet been made in connection with the
passage of the TO ce bill. He was asked
when he thought congress would ad-
journ, and in reply to this question said:
elf have any influence with the house,
and think have a little. the house will
not adjourn till the election bill is
passed, not even if we have to sit here
till next December.''
The wey in which the speaker said
this left no doubt in the minds of his
hearers, and it was said before two or
three congressman as well as the cor
respondent. that the speaker meant
every word he said, aud is quite pre-
pared to hold the house together till the
bill becomes Il law.
'Will you insist on the passage OF the
Lodge bill, or will a modified measure
suit You?''
1.-THE bill will have to be acceptable to
the house, - was the speakers signih-
cant reply.

ROGERS OF ARKANSAS
made very bitter arraignment of
Speaker Reed to-day, scoring him for
his arbitrary action on Saturday in TAX
ing him (Rogers) of the floor. He de-
nounoed him in the very strongest kind
of language, and poured hot-shot sar-
casm and invective into his speech. MIR.
Payson was in the chair, Reed being in
his private room. Henderson of Iowa
made very weak reply to Rogers and
endeavored to convince the country that
no purer, ADLER, better or more fearless
man ever sat in the speakers chair than
Reed. These frequent ebulitions on the
part of members are sufficient evidence
that they are firing of the session aud
are constantly breaking out with
crash.

On behalf of the Milwaukee Brewers
Association George Obermann, the
well-known brewer, denies any inter
ference in the relations of the Woman's

Young Mems Christian Association.
"The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union ladies are exercising themselves
unnecessarily" said Mr.. Obermann to
a reporter In regard" said he. ito
the brewers contribution to the Young
Mems Christian Association building,
it was no more than it has done to
churches and other public institutions.
We contributed to that as we would
and did to the Advancement Associa-
tion-anything that will benefit the
interests of Milwaukee. 1t is only a
part OF the hberality and charity
always exhibited by the brewers The
Young Mems Christian Association
came to us and said that they were
erecting a building which would do a
great deal of good in the community.
which 1t is doing, no doubt. We APP
preciate this, and out of our abundance
we contributed to its success. Wehad
no further Interior motive"
Was it through any suggestion from
your organization that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was ex-
Guided from the building?"
Certainly not. We did not know
it was meeting there, much less urge
its expulsion. | know for fact that
the brewers have had nothing to do with
the conduct or management of the
Young Mems Christian Association
since they contributed toward it's build
ing There is not doubt but we would
do the same thing for the ladies that
we did for the young men if the occa-
sion offered There is not little

DR.. c. w. DULLES, of Philadelphia,

deserves thanks. A few weeks ago a
narrowing dispatch was sent from a
Western town telling how a young girl

took the trouble to write to responsible
people in the town named, and learned
that there was not a word of truth in
the story. More recently another SINH
lar story was sent from Springfield
Ohio, and.the doctor investigated that
also. 1t proved to be a lie like the
other The probabilities are that
every such story would prove to be
equally. devoid of fact if it was investi-

of the stories about snakes in peoples
stomachs.

Swayback Tenny for the
Champion Stake.
Fast Time Made by Trotters
at the Rochester Circuit
Meeting.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-"It was Cham
pion day at Monmouth" This speaks
for itself, as race goers regard it as the
most important of the meeting, and they
always turn out in full force. To-day
was no exception to the rule, and 10000
people were in attendance. The weather
was fine and the track in good condi-
ton. There was the finest collection of
youngsters ever entered in tie Junior
Champion, and in the Champion those
two equine giants, Tenny and Sal
vator, faced the starter. All of
the nineteen youngsters entered
in the Junior Champion started
with Ambulance the favorite at to l.
1t was grand race all the way down
the stretch, but in the last furlong,
Strathmeath, Potomac and Sallie Nc
Clelland drewaway from the field land in
an exciting finish they were so close
that nobody could pick the winner till
the numbers were hung out. The
judges placed Strathmeath first, Sallie'
McClelland second, and Potomac third.
Scarcely had the boys weighed in for
the Junior Champion, when the crowd
surged to the betting ring to play Sal
vator against TennY. Salvador was the
favorite at to 5 on, while 6 to against
Tenny could be had all over the ring.
Both got away to very even start, but
in few jumps Salvatore blazed nose
showed in front on the outside. For
five furlongs they ran in this order.
Then, as they struck the turn for home.
Garrison let out link ON Tenny, and
he shot to the front, getting a lead of a
half length. Murphy OH Salvador,
however, did not let him get any fur
Their away. He at once sent Salvador
after the little swayback, and was soon
at Tenny's neck. From this point to
within three furlongs of home it was a
pretty race. Then Murphy be-
gan to ride, and the shout went
up: "Tenny is beaten!" 1t was
true. Tenny had to acknowledge de-
feat. When Murphy found that he had
Tenny beaten he eased up. and Garri-
son did the same thing. 1t was tame
finish, Salvador winning by four good
lengths. This victory settled decisively
the relative merits of Salvador and Ten
ny. The fractional time of the race is
as follows: Quarter, :2614 half, :504;
three-quarters, III; mile, 1:43; mile

PLUNGERs NICELY DUMPED.
Outsiders Take All the Plums at
Rochester's TrOtting Meeting.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. Aug. 12.-This
was the most successful opening day
that the grand circuit ever had in
Rochester. The weather and track
were good, and the attendance was
about 1000. The time made in the $50
class is considered somewhat remark
able, 2:174 being reached in three heats.
The great feature of the day was the
Flower City $4,000 guarantee stake, to
which the followers of the circuit
had been looking forward for some time.
1t proved great race. There were 16
entries and twelve starters, and it took
six heats to finish it. Leopard Rose,
the ''phenom." who did a mile in this
class in 2:l5I at Cleveland, was hot
favorite in the pools before the races,
but she only took one heat. She was
speedy but unsteady. PiXley, Budd
Doble's mare, took two heats, but the
race was won by Keno F.. compare
tive stranger whose dam is unknown.
This horse is owned by Bob Stewart, of
Kansas City, and is remarkably steady
trotter. Three of the heats were made
IN 2:171I, which is the fastest ever made
here in 2:2O class. The race was
puzzle to the gamesters and the betting
was heavy. The summaries follow:
2:3O class trotting, purse $40, 600, divided.
