New YORK, July 22.-Mr. Baise, Con-
sui General for both Guatemala and
Honduras in this city, stated to a
United Press reporter yesterday that
he had heard nothing of a battle be-
tween the forces Of Guatemala and San
Salvador. He placed no credence in
the dispatches received here. His last
advices were about four days old, and
at that time there was no mention of a
battle being imminent His advices
merely stated that the Guatemalan
Government had sent number Of
troops to the frontier as corps of OBJ
servation. General Ezeta was said to
be carrying things with high hand in
San Salvador, and the Guatemalan
forces were sent forward to protect
their own territory. Mr. Baise said it
was nonsense to assert that San Saliva
dor had nine thousand men in the field.
San Salvador and Guatemala.
San Salvador and Guatemala are two OF
the five States constituting what is known as
Central America, the other States being
Costa Rica. Nicaragua and Honduras. They
were united between the years 1923 and 1899
under federal government, and since that
time several efforts have been made to
bring the five miniature republics together
under some form Of government, but with
out success. Guatemala IS the most north
ern of the five republics, lying southwest Of
British Honduras and Yucatan. Ithas small
seaboard on the Gulf of Mexico. and much
more extensive one on the Pacific ocean
Its area is between 1900 and $1,000 square
miles, an exact statement being impossible
on account OF the imperfectons of thesur-
veys, and it has u population of
over two millions. OF this, nearly
two hundred thousand are white. g'he
Indians are more numerous than any other
race, being estimated at nearly 800, 0or, and
those of mixed Indian, negro and Mexican
blood numbering about S20,00). The
mongrel races constituting the great
mass of the population have long been
noted for their hatred Of foreigners the
fayorite war cry being Viva la religion,
mieran los estranierosp Throughout
most OF its extent Guatemala Is very mount
ainous, the Cordillenas covering the greater
part Of its territory. The republic has been
engaged in frequent petty wars with its
neighbors.
san Salvador is fhe smallest, but the most
de nsely populated of the five Central Amer
lc an republics. 1t is situated southwest OF
Guatemala, and adjoins it a short distance
The country contains Z, l25 square miles and
has population of about 700, 900, a remarka-
BILE fact being that the women greatly out
number the men, the explanation given
being the frequency Of wars and civil tu-
mults. The country, with the exception of
the narrow strip along the Seaboard, il
mountainous. The population Is of the same
mixed character as that of Guatemala In
former times it has fought both for and
against the latter State.

The Sudden Revival of the Eastern Cues
tion May Lead to Grave Results
LONDON, July 21.-The sudden reviv
al of the Eastern question: question
never dying, though some times dor
mant-has taken the political world
somewhat by surprise and is causing a
great amount of speculation and of ru-
NOR. One of the most alarming reports
is that which has it that Premier Stam-
buloff of Bulgaria has prepared a for
nal proclamat ton of complete Bulgarian
independence, in defiance of the suze-
rainty of Turkey. In diplomatic cir
cles here this is regarded al
false move on the part OF
Bulgaria, for it would place the digni-
taries of the treaty of Berlin in diff
cult position, and would give Russia an
opportunity Of which she would not be
slow to avail herself 1t is admitted,
however, that it is impossible for M.
Stambulof to maintain his position in
Bulgaria unless he follows up the re-
cent refusal of the Porte to grant his
demand for the recognition of indie
pendence by Turkey, the execution OF
Major Panitza, the arbitrary interfer-
ence of the government in elections, and
other events having created so intense
feeling against the Premier that some
such bold step is necessary to prevent
the psetting of his government
SERVIA, TOO.
In Servia, also, the position is one OF
insecurity. The government and Re-
gents are at variance with one another.
Jealousy of Bulgaria has now reached
almost fever-heat, and the expectation
of startling Developments is general.

raise his voice against this report It
stands unquestioned as the unanimous
sentiment Of the decent, respectable citl-

ders Of the corrupt ring politicians.
Mr.. Lloyd moved that these proceed
ings be published In the reform papers
Of the stats, which motion prevailed. A
vote Of thanks was rendered 10 MIR.

bors Have to Say, and
Then Vote for "The
Man of the People"

A grand mass meeting of the citizens OF
Jefferson county, was held at Oskaloosa,
on the evening of the % inst, TO give ex-
preston to the indignation Of the people
Of the county that has 80 many times
honored Mr.. Willis, at the malicious at
tacks Of his political enemies upon his
character. Notwithstanding but a single
days notice was given Of the meeting,
every part Of the county was largely
represented, and Critchheld's large opera
house was literally packed, and one OF the
significant features of the meeting was
that it was composed entirely Of voters.
The announcement Of the meeting was
public, the notice being circulated by hand
bill, 80 that had there been any strength
or character behind the corrupt ring that
has put the vile slanders against our
candidate for governor in circulation,
there was ample opportunity for 1t to
show itself on this occasion.
Captain L. II. Gest, county lecturer Of
the Jefferson County Alliance was elected
chairman and b. r. Wilson, b. +. Shane
and N. II. Harman, secretaries.
Taking the chair, Captain Gest said:
Until few moments ago had no idea thatmy
name would be suggested as chairman OF this
meeting, and must say that or all the aCJs OF
my life esteem IL a privilege ana pleasure TO
have the opportunity OF presiding over TINS mag
nllcent body OF earnest and Intelligent men
called together TO investigate the charges against
the Hon. j. Il. Willis, a resident OF our county
and candidate Of the peoples party FOR governor
Of Kansas
Captain Gest said that he had been ac-
quainted with Mr.. Willis for nearly
twenty years, during which time he had
been frequently honored by the people
and had always been intimately identi-
fed with every interest Of the masses.
He personally knew him to be the soul
Of honor, and he knew him to be es.
teemed and respected by the good people
Of the county on the one hand, and
despised by the ring politicians on the
other. Captain Gest hastily sketched
the character Of these ring politicians,
paying his respects especially to Captain
J.B. johnson and the editor Of the Oska-
loosa Independent, some of whose specu-
lative schemes Mr.. Willis had in years
past seriously interfered with, thereby
mourning the bitter hatred which un-
derlies the malicious assaults upon hia
character at the pesent time.

Republican Extravaeauce.

. Senator Dawes says:-'sThe Republican
party declared un~equivocally for tariff
reform, and for a reduction of the treas
ury receipts to those actual expenditures
that a rigid economy alone viii justify"
II the Senator really believes this pledge
will be redeemed in accordance with the
obvious meaning of It's terms, he has
that kind of faith that removes noun
tafns. Up to the present time there are
certainly no indications that the revenue
will be reduced as it ought to be, or that
economy will be practiced in any depart
mentofthe Government. On the contrary,
it is evident that If the policy so far pursued
is continued, the whole revenue that can
be collected under the laws as they now
exist will be insufficient to meet the ex-
tIaordinary demands that will be made
upon the treasury. The surplus will be
reduced, but taxation will be increased
on many important articles. A mere
enumeration of the bills now pending in
Congress for the appropriation of money
and for the creation of liabilities to be
discharged in the future, would be sufi.
cient to show the e~xtravagant policy of
the party in power; and it is evident that
it only q small percentage of these bills
should be passed, the existing surplus
would be exhausted and q reduction of
the evenue postponed for many years.
If any considerable number of them are
passed. additions, taxation will be neces-
sary, or the public debt will have to be
increased Speaker Carlisle In the

The Ever Ready Policeman.

1t is not only in the funny columns of the
daily papers Or in the journals entirely
devoted to humor that we find food for
laughter. The following news item from
a prominent New York journal, in spite
of its tragic qualities, is as delicious O. bit
of humor as one would care TO read:
Yesterday afternoon a large and shaggy
black dog was seen running up
Sifserent ob ieces'' II sna passeS. a. wb sae
it reached the corner Of Cort-

savage lunge at a workman who was
passing, and bit him in the arm. The
man at once took in the situation, and
grasping the brute by the throat threw it
to the ground and fell upon it's body.
After he had secured a good grip on the
dog's windpipc with one hand he seized
its tongue with the other and held on
until the animal was dead. AT that mo
ment n policeman made his appearance
and shot the dog ia the head three
times. "-HaFpel's Magazine

The number of letters sent through the
mails that fail TO reach their destination
on account of imperfect addresses is
enormous, and reveals an amazing
AMOUNT of ignorance and carelessness on
the part of the senders. According to a
report of the Postmaster General, during
the year 1881 there were 81, 997 misdi-
rected letters received; 12S.732 were held
for want of postage; 1910 which had been
mailed without any address at all; 81, 1868
letters containing drafts, checks, notes,
etc, were received, with the enormous
aggregate value Of their Enclosures of
over 81, 000, 900, which were restored to

A writer in the ssForum', Pronounces 1t
Barbarous.
Altered circumstances, resulting from
the march Of progress and the develop
ment of civilization, should result in APP
propriate changes Of legislation. Only in
the matter of the administration Of the
law do we stand still. We have given up
the barbarous practice of subjecting
jurors, while celebrating, to hunger,
thirst and cold; why not give up that
other relic OF barbarism. the senseless
of unanimity.
The propriety Of the rule of unanimity
has been a subject Of grave doubt for
more than a century. Emlyn, as early as
1880, in his preface to the second edition
of Howell's state Trials makes an elo-
buent appeal for the abolition of the
rule. Hallam, in the supplemental notes
to his middle Ages designates it "a
preposterous relic OF barbarism.' The
English Common Law Commissioners of
1881 condemn the rule in very positive
