AN ARGENTINE PLOT.

The financial disorders in the Argentine have
temporarily impaired the stability OF the Gov
eminent. revolution was narrowly avertcd
a few months ago BY the decisive action OF
President Ceman in practically dismisSing his
Ministers and appointing their successors ana
now the news comes that the capital Is pro-
foundly agitated by the discovery Of new
Mot 10 overthrow the Government The great
plaza. where stand the town hall, the Gov
ernmcnt buildings and the cathedral, is re-
ported to be garriSoncd by 1000 troops and
3 600 police the boursc is dcmOralizcd and i'll
tense excitement prevails. The President Is
not a native of Buenos Ayres, the most power
full State in the Confederation, and on that
account he has always met with resistance
from political rivals in the capital; but he Is an
able and sagacious Executive, OF great force
of character and of marked sclf-poSscsson IN
grave crises. The city of Buenos Ayrcs with
its population of $4,000 has been jealous OF
the political authority of this powerful states
man from the medieval town of Cordova, and
he has been forced to combat many times this
sectional feeling but so prudent and success
full has he been in maintaining public order
and directing the affairs OF State that 1t has
seemed probable that at the close OF his term
he would be able practically TO nominate as his
successor favored Provincial candidate. The
financial panic and the increasing probability
that the Government will not be able TO meet
its engagements with foreign creditors have
apparently created revolt against him; but
with the military garrison loyal to his fortunes
he has held his ground and is still master OF
the situation.
The Plate countries were exposed for two
! generations after the revolt against Spain to
| fhe evils of military relationships and civil
war. The reunion Of the Argentine states
under the leadership OF Buenos AyreS which
was effected thirty years ago, was the begin
ming of a new era of prosperity. Progress up
to that time had been nearly stationary but
| after 1860 it was by leaps and bounds. The
| immigration movement from Europe at once
| acquired a tremendous impetus, and was great
ly stimulated by State aid and systematic at
| tempts to establish agricultural colonies. Rail
WAYS were built in every direction across the
| pampas, and A vast national domain was opened
| to new settlers. BucnoS Ayres, the capital,
| doubled and Quadrupled in It's population in a
tious scheme of providing it with an artificial
| system of immense docks was undertaken. La
| Plata a rival capital for the Province was
built on pasture lands in the course of a few
years as city of magnificent distances.

livian frontier, and southwark in Patagonia, as
the railway system was extended, agricultural
regions of remarkable prOductvcneSS were
opened to the surplus population OF Europe
There seemed to ne no limit to the possibilities
of the material progress of the Argentine
The inevitable eff ect of this extraordinary
period of prosperity has been an imitation ana
speculative mania. Everything has been over
done-railway construction, public works, lana
mortgaging foreign importatlons, ana even
immigration. The currency OF the country mas
been inflated with a rcclleSsnesS unprecedented
even in South America: and the Issue OF
cedulaS. or land mortgage notes, on an enor-
mons scale has aggravated the evils OF heavily
dcpreciated paper. immigration has been en-
couraged until the lame, the blind and even
mnatics have been brought III with their
passages paid from Italy. Every branch OF
business has been conducted on speculative
basis. and the cost of living has been enor-
mously increased. \ reaction from all these
excuses and vagaries of commercial excitement
was inevitable and it has brought with l; eX-
IRENE financial disorder and the menace OF
political revolution. SO much of the material
progress of the Argentine, however, mas Deeh
normal and well grounded upon national re-
sources that the present crisis may be regarded
as only a temporary reverse. The country Is
progressive and enlightened, and on the Whoie
is we'll governed, and its future Is secure.

KING LEOPOLD'S JUBILEE GIFT

According to the ancient family statutes OF
the House of Hohenzollern every male member
thereof is required TO learn trade or pro
fesson in addition to that Of royalty and the
rule has gradually been adopted by each OF the
reigning families OF Europe. Specimens of
King Louis XVl'S skill as locksmith are on
view in many public galleries and museums,
and the cevcrcss of Emperor William as "A
carpenter, that of his brother Henry n prac
teal matchmaker, and Of King Carlos OF Portu-
gal as a carver of ivory, are well known.
Others, as, for instance King Oscar Of Sweden
the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and
Prince George Of Prussia, have labored ener
geticaIy and successfully in the fields of liter
AZURE. Indeed many Of them appear to feel the
necessity Of displaying their activity and their
talents in some other path of life than that of
mere royalty. Most notable Of all these sup
Elementary trades and professions, however,
is that adopted by Leopold H. who as the
geOgrapher par excellence of the present
century, will live on in history long after the
record of his role as King of the Bclgians has
faded from its pages.
During the lifetime OF his father and when
still relatively untrammelled by the cares and
responsibilities Of Government he travelled
extensively, visiting in turn nearly every coun-
try of the globe, not indeed as a mere tourist
but as a shrewd and keen observer of things
below as well as above the surface. He like
wise took part in several expeditions into the

The Western Union Company has resolved
upon heroic measures i'll repairing the damages
wrought by last Fridays fire. The upper por-
ton of the building is to be taken down as far
as the SIKH story, and then the walls will be
carried straight up for four stories, without
mansard roof, towers or any like architectural
adornment. The appearance of the building
will be greatly changed, while more room will
be provided and the freproof character of the
structure will be improved. This is sensible
decision, and the result of the changes will
be TO make the now western Union" the
finest telegraph headquarters in the world
