temalan Allies Scattered.
CHINGo, Guatemala, Aug. 1.-THE
fight at Blue Rock proves to have been
more serious than was at first reported.
1t seems that some 1900 Guatemalan
troops came to the assistance of the lib
eral force of Salvador troops, and the
regular troops of Gen. Ezeta drove them
back and scattered them, capturing
eight pieces of artillery. The defeated
troops retired to Jutiapa, their ammu-
milton being exhausted. The pickets OF
the Guatemalan troops were fired upon
at Contepeque, about six miles from
here, this morning. Although war has
not yet been declared. a big fight is ex-
pected daily, as this is the only point
where EZeta and his army can enter
Guatemala. There are $500 troops here.
LAO more at Contepeque, and 5000
scattered along the frontier east from
here. The force here is under COM
mand of Gen. Guyetano and Capt. b.
Emile, French artillery engineer, is
second in commany. There are twenty
four pieces of artillery here, which
were brought over 1870 miles of mountain
road by Capt. Emile. He had to use
46O mules. besides oxen. to get the guns
over one hill. The troops are in good
condition and are we'll armed. Work
on the trenches is being pushed rap
idly.

THE COLOR LINE.

1t looks funny to see the color line
drawn in the Grand Army of the Re-
public, yet the only row they have had
in the Boston encampment was over
the admission of negro delegates on an
equality with the white veterans. The
wise counsel of Commander ALGER and
other influential leaders prevailed, and
the disturbance was quieted; yet the
feeling which prompted it still remains,
and will probably break out afresh at
any Grand Army meeting.
1t only illustrates the truthfalness of
the old proyerb that ''blood is thicker
than water" Race prejudice is some
thing that cannot be eliminated until
human nature has been repealed. Race
equality is a very pretty thing to talk
about at distance. But as an every
day practical proposition it will not
stand the test. Whether at Southern
election or in Grand Army encamp-
ment. the white man is going to assert
his SuperiOrity.

PROCTOR KNOTT AT DULUTH

IhOCIOTl hNOII Al ZULU LII.
PROCTOR KNoTT's visit to Duluth
yesterday was an event of historical iu-
terest. 1t was Gov. KNoTT's first sight
of the city to which he is indebted for
his fame, and it must have been some
thing of a surprise to him to see how
grandIy his humorous vision has been
realized.
Honors are about easy between KNOTT
and Duluth. Each gave the other an
advertisement that proved to be of sub
stantial value. and their names will go
down into history inseparably linked
together.
Mr.. KNOTT has more reason to COM
plain than Duluth on account of that
famous speech. 1t brought him to the
front rank as a humorist, which is the
most unenviabIe position man can oc-
cupy in public life. When public man
once gets reputation as wag he is
expected to play the clown all his life.
Gov. KNOTT has spent the. best part of
his life trying to live down the effect of
that Duluth speech, and has just barely
recovered from it now. This is the first
time in his distinguished career that he
has felt free to venture on visit to the
city with which his fame is associated.
He has no reason to be ashamed of his
protege, neither has Duluth any cause
to be ashamed of her distinguished
visitor. There is no brainier man on
this continent than PROCTOR KNOTT.
and but few in public possessed of such
sterling qualities of character.

sharpshooters in Session.

Two hundred members of the Sur
vivors' Association of Berdan's Sharp
shooters held social meeting to-day.
Gen. Fl. Berdan, of New York city,
presided. 1t was the first time since
the war that he had met his command.
In fact, it was the first reunion held
since 1865. The rival association, formed
recently at Milwaukee, held meeting
in the morning and died peaceful
death, and the members enlisted in the
Survivors association. The proceed
ings were mostly informal, the
diversion being in the. form of
speeches by Gen. Berdan, WIG reviewed
the history of the regiments; Hon.
George A. Mardaf, OF Lowell, who was
quartermaster; Capt E. T. Rowell, of
Lowell; Capt. r. W. Tyler, of Wash
ington, D. c.; Capt. c. A. Stravens, of
Shakopee, Mimi, and Gen. Sickles. who
referred to Massachusetts as the polar
star of the patriotic states. At the con-
clusion of SiekleS' remarks all of the
men gathered around the general to
shake hands with him. Then the vet
Grams. with Gen. Sickles, were photo

JUTIAPA, Guatemala, July 17.-Thirty
miles from here and ninety miles from
Guatemala City are stationed twenty
four pieces of artillery and 5000 Guate-
malan troops. The governments troops
are divided into three divisions. First,
an advance guard upon the frontier of
1000 men; second, reserve guard of
1900 at Jutiapa; third, force of
5000 men in Guatemala City. Hondu-

party of San Salvador, with four pieces
of artillery and 600 men, crossed the
river at Blue Rock and joined Gen.
Galan, of the Guatemalan army, whose
force consists of 5000 men and four
pieces of artillery. After crossing the
river. the San Salvador troops fired
upon their cOuntryman upon the other
side and few shots were exchanged.

REEDS RULINGS.

To the Editor of the GLOBE.
MAzEPPA, Mimi, Aug. IS. 1S90.-Please
answer this question. namely: Does Speaker
REEDS rule make quorum present sufficient
to pass a bill or resolution if a majority is not
recorded as voting in the affirmative? Please
answer in your columns and save a friendly
iangle. T. ID. NJ.
Everything goes with Speaker REED.
He is law unto himself, and when he
waves his black sash over his partisan
followers they bow to the earth and
shout, "Great is ALLAH.'
There is no telling what he is going
to rule. But as far as he has ruled
majority Of those voting is held to be
sufficient to pass bill or resolution,
whether there is quorum or not. He
does not rule that it is necessary to
have majority of those in their seats,
but a majority only of those who vote
on any given proposition. AS for the
quorum, he manufactures that to suit
the occasion.

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN FLESH.
Horrors of the Slave Trade in
Southern Seas.

LONDON, Aug 4.-Horrible accounts
are received of the slave labor traffic by
British planters in the South seas. The
Presbyterian mission synod in the new
Hebrides has passed resolution to the
effect that 1.-The Kanaka labor traffic
had to large extent depopulated the
New Hebrides and adjoining islands,
upset family relations among the ma
tives, and has been. and is, the cause of
much sorrow, suffering and blOodshed."
A missionary named Patton reports that
he had himself seen white men in their
boats taking KanakaS to labor vessel
as the slave ships are called-forcibly
lifting them on board. and when they
tried to swim ashore they were knocked
down again and again. until they
lay stupefied on deck, and were thus
carried out to sea. Those thought
likely to escape are fastened with chains
on board. A chief was shot dead by the
crew of one of these vessels while at
tempting to protect his daughter, and
native Christian teacher was also shot
dead. This slave trade is carried OH
under the protection of the British flag
for the benefit Of planters in Queens
land and the FIJI Islands.

THE FARMERS RECIPROCITY.

AS Mr.. BLAINE has made it possible
to think of reciprocity with some of the
countries on this side of the water
without jmputations of disloyalty to the
republic, there is growing disposition
to use larger telescopes in looking for
opportunities for barter. The grower
of food products in the West applauds
when effort is made to induce the repub-
lies to the south to swap commodities
with their brothers Of the big nation to
the north. 1t is promise of larger
traffic. Still it is noted by the growers
of wheat, cattle and other farm prod
ucts, that some of the regions to the
south are enormous growers of wheat,
and the animals that have hides and
wool are remarkably prolific down there.
In fact, the goods they are likely
to take in exchange for their
coffee, hides, wool and other
productions, will be mainly the
manufactures of the East. Reciprocity
is all right, but it does not seem to the
rejecting farmer that Mr.. BLAINE could
have allowed the South American coun-
tries to entirely fill bis mind when he
wrote about new markets for flour and
pork. If the object is to enlarge sales
of the food elements, there Will be a
broader scope given the vision. If rec
Iproeity is good thing, why not extend
it to any part of the world where it can
be made advantageous to the American
producer? This is the query that nat
rraIiv fellows the nrODOSitiOn of the SER
rotary of state. As in point, France
sends many goods to this country and
has room for a considerable share of the
surplus grain, corn and pork of
the United States. 1t has taken
part, but rather meager part.
of these essentials for civilized exist
ence not needed at home. 1t could buy
vastly more by reciprocal relations in
trade. Now it discriminates against
products of this country, influenced by
the tariff legislation that it regards as
iIIiberal. On grain it imposes duty of
33 cents bushel when coming from the
United States and Is cents on that i'm
ported from other European countries.
The increase Of duties proposed in the
Mckinley bill is distasteful to France
and other foreign countries. They will
naturally retaliate. and the farmer in
this country is the sufferer. He finds
the market abroad being closed to him
more and more and the home market
not materially enlarged. If reciprocity
is to do good, it will be insisted that it
shall have a broad field.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
A just Conclusion.

Savannah News.
The Republican leaders are continu-
ally talking of the necessity for the
force bill to insure purer elections III
the South, and yet it seems that they
sanction an indirect use of the public
money to assist one of their number in
keeping his seat in congress. 1t cannot
be said that there is any immediate ne
cessity for doing the work in the Kittery
navy yard that the secretary of the
treasury has determined to have done.
The opening of the navy yard, there
fore, lust about a month before the
Maine congressional elections, justifies
the conclusion that the yard is to be
opened for no other reason than to as
sfst Mr.. Reed in getting reelection.

Washington county Republicans were
not ''tumDling over themselves to help

of the Republicans of Saltwater are

strength Merriam has in Washington
county is what Charley Holcombe can

1t is said that Mr.. Mckinley is getting
his forces together for the purpose of
fighting Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity propo-
stion. Mr.. Mckinley appears to be
moving slowly, but this is natural. a
man who has a collapsed conscience
dragging after him through the wet
grass is NOT likely to become noted for
activity of movement. He exposed his
conscience, it will be remembered, dur
ing the tariff debate in the house, and
during the melee it was the victim of a
severe sprain, from which it has never
entirely recovered. No man can make
a succe ssfuI campaign if he has to haul
his conscience after him with string.
