SAN Francisco, Aug. ia letter
from Guatemala states that a proclama
ton has been issued hat all men who were
not ready for military duty would be shot.
Nearly all the men who first went to the
front have been killed in the battles with
the Salvadorans. Eztena is marching to
the city. The letter says he will probably
sack the town. Americans are safe, for
they receive protection at the legation
Every servant, even those on the coffee
plantations. has been drafted into the
war, and there are not enough left to
supply food. Provisions bring enormous
prices, business is at a standstill and the
city Is under martial Law. Twenty

$500 soldiers have already left the city
for the frontier. Mcn are attracted to

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. ia dis
patch from Guatemala says thst President
Barrillas yesterday received the members
of the diplomatic corps, who called to as
certain his terms of peace. He responded
that the only terms were the retirement
of Eseta from the government of Saliva
dor and the establishment of state af-
fairs existing prior to the death of Meme
dex, and that Salvador treat Honduras
and Guatemala as allies and not foster re-
bellion against other governments.

Opening of the Baxter-C Carey
Debate at Evanston.
The Governor Fires Hot Shot
Into the Enemy's Ranks.
Particular Attention Paid to
Me and and F. E."
Toe Attempts to Answer, But
Speech Fails Him.
His Lame Effort Causes Much
Comment.

SnacIal dispatch TO. The LEADER
EVANSTON, Aug. 1S.-The Baxter
Carey debate was opened tonight at
Dovps' opera house before the largest
audience ever gathered In Evanston.
Governor Baxter opened, and for one
hour poured a volley of hot shot into the
Republican corps, scoring the Mckinley
hill. the force bill, Republican men and
measures in general, and the me and f.
Il" combination in particular. Judge
Carey writhed in agony while Governor
Baxter raised his scalp, and the audience
.~pplauded. vociferously every time he
scored a point. He did not talk against
time or indulge in flowery rhetoric. but
confined himself to facts, backed with
~substantiated evidence.
He said that In ancient times lambs
we're offered up in sacrifice, but that it
WAS also a custom to offer up a bullock,
and that when the 18th of September
rolled around the offering would probably
be a bullock. He condemned the Repub-
licsn party tor claiming all the credit for
Wyoming's admission, and charged that
the three electoral votes Wyoming would
give was the only object in admitting
Wyoming and shutting out the Demo
cratic states Of New Mexico and Arizona.
He scored Warren for his presumption
theft, aud paid some attention to War
ren's attempt to pack the Sweetwater
county Jury, and challenged Carey to de-
fend him.
Carey in his reply started u thanking
God that he was better than anybody
else. He was maddcned by the audacity
Of Baxter and could hardly control his
voice. He repeated the Republican plat
form in defense of the Mckinley and
force bills and made a great splurge for
an honest vote and an honest count, but
grew pale when he commenced to defend
Wsren's record. He said he didn't know
anything about the Warren pre-emptioD,
but knew that other people had acquired
land in the same manner. He entirely
ignored the arren attempt to pack the
Jury and painted the same style picture Of
the boy who left the farm and enlisted in
defense of his country, and ~endeavored to
create sympathy by his reference to War
eu's sick condition, forgetting that he was
scting as his substitute in defense
Of Baxter's charge that he acted in bad
faith in failing to secure the appointment
Of Corlett as chief Justice. Carey pro-
dueed two letters ~purporting to have been
written by him to the attorney general,
and which on their face were evidence Of
d%uplicity and were noticeable particularly
for their ajulation of Van Deyanter.
Altogether Carey's speech was the
stupid evasion of a lawyer and his failure
to make any defense of Warren caused
much comment here.

outwitting the Dean.

l was talking recently with an En-
ylish clergyman of the Episcopal church
who gained his B. A. at Oxford nearly
half a century ago. The conversation
turned to Harvard college and the dec
grafton of its founders statue. The
reverend gentleman said hat his rec
objections of his Oxford days contained
plenty of episodes of a like nature and
he accordingly related several. Upon
the great quadrangle of the Christ
Church college a number of the halls
front and upward of fifty doors open.
One fine morning every one of these
doors, which were of oak, was painted
a bright crimson. OF course there was
great agitation, but the identity of the
artist was never disclosed. The dean,
in order to prevent a recurrence of the
deed, stationed a Waterman in the
quadrangle, and so well did that func-
tionary perform his duties hat the
doors were not touched. But the stu
dents resolved to circumvent the dean
and outwit the sentinel.
One evening a big undergraduate,
who had possessed himself of a flowing
gown and wig, personating the dean,
entered the quad mag" as the court
is a~ffectionately termed, and approach
ed the Waterman. "Ahuml ahuml'
he began in a deep pitched voice, 81
am glad, my man, to find you attend
ing to your duty Sc well. Now you go
to my kitchen and my cook will give
you a good supper and plenty of ale. 1
will keep watch while you are gone"
Flattered and pleased the man accepted
the invitation and went. He was gone
fifteen minutes. In the meantime each
n of the fifty doors was painted a
sunset red.-Boston Advertiser.

Rev. E. H. Lawrence, of Wisconsin,
was presented with a Bible many years
ago which he carried through the war.
He always carried it in his coat pocket.
At the battle of Kennesaw Mountain a
bullet struck Rev. Mr.. Lawrence on
his left side, penetrating his coat and
shirt, then into his Bible, stopping at
isaiah lii, ? Grange to say the Bible
saved his L; and he preserved the
book with tine bullet in 1t until his
death. The first sermon he ever
preached he took the verse at which
the bullet stopped for his text, and

Man Traps and Spring Guns Set Here.''
Man traps were made in South Stat
fordshire, chiefly at West Bromwich,
ten years ago, and are probably still to
be bought. The pattern books of sew
eral manufacturers had and probably
still have an octave page engraving,
showing a poacher gripped by the leg
and dropping the hares he had picked
up. These modern man traps were,
however, ''human man traps" with
plain bar jaws, and not the saw tooth
grips, which would mangle a limb and
probably break the leg bone. Similar
tiger traps are also made in the Black
Country, and are formidable and
crushing devices. Spring guns are made
in Birmingham, but these are only
alarm guns, to make a loud report and
frighten a poacher or bird stealer by
noise, without shot; but the older
forms swung the small cannon around
and fired a volley of shot in the direc-
ton of the wire trodden upon.-Notes

Down in Congress square there stands
an old gray tow horse of an observing
mind and engaging manners who likes
to make acquaintance with passers by.
1t has been the habit of a gentleman
who comes in town every morning to
buy an apple at a fruit stand and treat
the old fellow, whose somewhat monot-
onous life appeals to him. The old
tow horse has grown to expect his APP
pie, and he now watches regularly for
his friend. Upon the few occasions
when the apple has been forgotten or
Intentionally omitted the horse has fol-
lowed the man, or has stepped up to
the sidewalk in front of him and stop
ped his passage as If to say, you can.
not pass until you've paid your toll"
One afternoon not long since a man
who has a strong resemblance to the
tow horses friend was passing through
Congress street, when to his astonish-
ment he felt himself grabbed by the
coat sleeve. Turning around his sur
prise was still greater when he found it
was a horse who held him prisoner.
The towboy who has charge of the
horse came to the rescue, and cleared
matters up by explaining that the two
men looked so much alike that he as
well az the horse was deceived.-Bos-

Another Inmate OF ..Heaven."

ROCKFORD. ILL.,, Aug. Is -Mary Wei
don, one of the angels at S~chweinfurth's
stock ranch four miles west ofhere, gave
birth to a girl baby Wednesday. Ac-
cording to her story the holy ghost is
responsible for its paternity, but old Bill
Moffet. who does the horse-shoelng at
Schweinfurth's farm. says he'll be
switched if tie holy ghost has descended
in hat locality since he came there. He
reproachfully afirms that Mr.. Schwein-
turth has so deldded the people at his
bogus heaven that they ascribe even
the presence of their daily dinner to some
spiritual influence. The committee Of
citizens have been at work and have
consulted the law officers, with a view OF

That whenever the president ofthe United
States shall be satisfied that a sugar pro-
ducIng country from whence sugar is cx-
ported into the United States has
abolished its duties or taxes on importa-
tons of the principal agricultural products
OF the United States, he may, by proclaim
alton diminish or wholly remit the duties
imposed by law on sugar or any grade of
sugar, produced in and exported directly
from any sugar country into the United
States SO long as such products of the
United States are admitted free of duty
or tax into such country. and no longer,

ment which he intended to propose au-
thorizing the president, whenever satisfied

sentially fraudulent, and intended not for

%torney's ~assignees The amendment was
defended and advocated by Hale. Blair
and Morgan, and agreed to. The bill
was reported back to the senate. and all
amendments that were agreed to by COM
