PETALUMA, July 9.-On the night OF
June 30th, last, the barn of J. w.
Critics, near Penn's grove, was burned
with its contents, including three
horses. 1t was believed at the time
that the fire was set by incendiaries,
and detective was engaged, who soon
discovered that Crites's wife had been
turned out by her husband and had
taken up her residence with the Bannon
family. near neighbors. James Kelly, a
man who formerly worked for Critics,
had also taken up his residence with
the Bannon family. All sorts of threat
ening letters, postmarked Penn's grove,
were sent to Critics and his mother,
warning them to leave the neighbor-.
hood. On the evening of April 26th
a man drove rapidly by Crites's
house, and threw dynamite bomb on
the front porch, which exploded, tearing
away part of the porch. Since the barn
fire neither Critics nor his mother dared
sleep at night, or keep a light burning.
As the result of the detectives work,
today Pete Bannon and John Kelley
were arrested for arson, and in default
of five thousand dollars bail are both in
Jail here, awaiting their examination.
Fred Quin, who until recently lived
here. was arrested several days ago at
Tulare and is now in Jail at San Fran
cisco, for sending one of the threatening
letters mentioned above through the
mails.

THE ISTHMUS REPUBLICS.
TROUBLE BREWING THAT MAY RE.
SUIT IN WAR.
1t Now Appears that Menendez Was Poi
soned-Nicaraguaa and Costa Rica Going
to Unite with Colombia.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-That trouble is
brewing among the Central American
republics over the proposed confedera-
ton, which may result any moment in
war, is manifest from the latest advices
received here. The story of the death of
President Menendez, of San Salvador, is
given ps follows: At the banquet table a
small bottle of wine was set apart for
the PRESIDENTS own use. The guests
who surrounded him had bottles of a
similaF character. During the banquet
the president complained OF not feeling
we'll, ana retired. He was seized with
commissions, and medical aid was with
out avail, for within three
quarters ri an hour he was lifeless.
General Ezeta was summoned and col
lecting all the available forces, marched
to the white house and took possession,
causing the soldiers and the remaining
guests to proclaim him provisional pres
ident. The following morning General
Ezeta summoned the ministers of Men
endez and requested them to remain in
office, subject to his orders. To this the
ChOlHOO Odt WiClIllA wv
hours General Ezeta disbanded the cab
met, selecting men known to be opposed
to Guatemala's scheme to secure control
in San Salvador. The ring-leaders of the
Guatemala faction in San Salvador
maturing plans for Ezeta's overthrow,
were summarily dealt with. No less
than thirty were shot and about forty
exiled from the country. The garrisons
at the seaports and on the frontier are
being reinforced, and San Salvador to-
day may be said to maintain an armed
peace. The military, which had been
considerably reduced during Menen-
dez's administration, is now being rein
forced by all the civilians liable to mill
tary duty. Efforts are being made on
the part of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica to induce San Salvador to
promise not to tender aid to any
movements towards union that may be
accompanied by force. The Nicaragua
canal is playing an important part in the
matter, and both Nicaragua and Costa
Rica have the idea in view of entering
into a confederation with the United
States of Colombia. Should this fedora
ton take place, the keynote to all Pan
American enterprises will, it is said, be
held by the three countries named.
CRY OF Mexico, July o. Advices
from San Salvador state that there is
extreme dissatisfaction with the new
provisional government, and a civil war
is imminent.

FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
A PARTISAN APPEAL TO THE RE.
PUBLICAN PRESS.
facture Sentiment in Favor of the I'm
democratic Measure Now Pending.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Representative
Belden, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, has issued an
address to the Republican editors of the
country on the subject OF a national cleo
ton law. ''The Republican party" he
says, "is pledged to the country in its
platforms that it will see to the execu-
ton of that provision of the constitution
which guarantees every lawful voter in
the federal elections the right to deposit
his ballot and have it counted for the
candidate of his choice. No question of
negro supremacy, no usurpation of fed
eral power, is involved. The bill
which recently passed the house deals
only with national elections. The states
are properly left to workout their own
destinies through their own agencies.
Why, then, should the bill not become a
law? The house, faithful and active in
the fulfillment of party pledges, jealous
in the performance of great public
trust, and undaunted by the diabolical
threats and assaults of the Democratic
party, promptly performed it's duty by
the passage Of the bill. Now it only re-
mains for the Republican majority in
the senate to emulate the house and
permit the president, by his signature,
to ratify and register the will of the ma
ton. Will the senate promptly perform
this imperative obligation? The COM
mittee is in possession Of information
showing concentrated effort on the
part OF the Democratic party to change
the trend of public thought by poisoning
the minds of the people to the end that
sentiment may be manufactured that
would deter congress from passing ma
tional election law at this session. 1t is
believed that favorable expression of
opinion at this juncture from the Repub-
lican press all along the line would be
as forcible as timely, and would exert a
wholesome influence and inspire our
legislators to carry out the party 8
pledge. Will you not do your duty in
urging that the senate shall respond
promptly by the passage of the measure
which the house deems absolutely es-
sential to the purity of the elections of
its own members" ?"

TURBULENT STRIKERS.

Superior.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July 9.-It was
expected that the strike among street
laborers would be ended today by the
men accepting the old wages, $l.75 a
day. The despondency of the men was
but lull before the storm. About 200
strikers appeared in the main streets
this morning and proceeded to Twelfth
street, where about forty men were en-
ployed. The strikers rushed upon them
and fight ensued. Contractor Sutton
cut one man on the arm with shovel.
The strikers chased Sutton to
his house, three blocks away,
beating him with clubs. Later in
the day the mob arrived at the Amer
lean Steel Barge Works, where they
were kept at distance with revolvers.
After dinner another attempt was made
to force the work. Contractor Anderson
shot one man in the head, the bullet
glancing and striking man named John
Foster in the left arm. The strikers
then charged, but Anderson held his
ground with drawn revolver. The
mob threw sticks and clubs and any
thing they could lay hands upon.
When the mayor and force of special
police arrived on the grounds, the strik.
ers were wild for Anderson's life. The
mayor quieted the crowd down by ap-
pointing a committee of strikers and 8
crowd Of policemen to see Anderson to
the city hall. Tonight fifty citizens were
sworn in as special policemen.

coming out of it. All the pine trees in
the neighborhood are covered with a
