A REVOLT QUELLED.
The President Of Nicaragua BaniSheS His
Political Enemies.

GRANADA (Nicaragua), Aug. 25.-On Sun
day President Roberto Sacasa tried to rid
himself OF his most prominent opponents
ana at the same time nip in the bud pos
slbly growing revolution. The persons ar
rested include two ex-Presidents of Nicara-
qua and the editor and owner of the most
important daily Journal in the country
Granada is practically in state of siege and
the troUpS here at the capital are confined
to the barracks In addition the opposition
to President Sacasa is growing daily and
affairs are assuming q critical condition.
For years vigorous rivalry has existed be-
tween the ProgressiStS, whose headquarters
are at Granada, and the Catholic church
party, whose strongholdS are Leon and
Managua. Granada for many terms past has
furnished the country with a President, but at
the last election Sacasa, Leon man, was
chosen esident, the Progre ssists say, by
undue means. He has previously been
Senator. and on the mysterious death of
president CaZaTO, two years ago, was chosen
to fill out the unfinished term. This was
not approved by the Progressists, and Sa-
casa became more unpopular, as it became
known that he, backed by the church party,
was leaving no stone unturned to bring
about his reelection. For some time it has
been whispered that an attempt would be
made to GUST him, but the coup by hims elf
was complete surprise. The persons ar
rested are ex- President Chamorro, ex- Presi-
dent Zavala, Don Anselmo Riyas, editor of
the leading newspaper OF the country; Don
Enrique GuZeman, son of General Guzemau,
and Don j. ID. Rodriguez, formerly attached
10 the legation at Washington.
The arrests caused great excitement in
Granada, and the prison was attacked. The
exact number of the casualties is not known,
but 1t is reported the Chief Officer of Police
and at least six soldiers were killed and
about fifty citizens shot The prisoners
were subsequently brought to Managua,
where they were sentenced to be escorted
across the frontier and ordered never to re-
turn to the country under penalty of death.
Granada has been placed iu state OF SIEGE
As some OF the prisoners belong to wealthy
and important families In Nicaragua the
matter has caused excitement and further
trouble Is expected. 1t is known that a
number OF other persons Hre under surveil-
lance by Sacasa's spies. The present poiti-
cal troubles do not affect the progress of the
work on the maritime canal, though Don
Rodriguez, one Of the eXled is known to
have been bitter enemy Of the American
enterprise. This opposition is said to have
grown from sDubbing which Rodriguez
thought he received from the American Sec
retary OF State while attached TO the ega-

AN ARCTIC TALE.
Reported Massacre Of The Crews of Two
Steam WhalHrS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-A Washington special
says: A catastrophe is reported by the
Treasury Department from the Arctic re-
gious. 1t is said the crews of two small
steam whalers wintering near the mouth Of
the Mackenzie river. about 800 miles east of
Point Barrow, have been massacred by the
natives of that region. The steamers are
the property of the Pacific Whaling Com
pany and carried sixty men as crews. They
were well armed, equipped and provisioned.
Heretofore the natives have been very
friendly 10 the whites and many of them are
we'll armed, having been supplied with rifles
by trading vessels. which have exchanged
whisky and guns for furs. While it is a
new thing for whaers to winter in the
Arctic as far east as these two steamers
have white men have spent winters on
shore with the natives and have lived with
a good degree OF comfort. The whaling
crews encamped on the land would not be
under any such strict discipline as might be
enforced on board ship, and if their inter
course with the natives was offensive they
probably have been overpowered by SUI
perior numbers.

THE IRISH CAUSE.
An Appeal for Harmony and Co.
Operation.
Call for a Convention Issued by the Ma
tiOnal League Of America.
Movement 10 Overcome The Difficulties Caused
by the DlSSenSi(nS in the Ranks of
The Parliamentary Party.
Special to The MORNING CALL.

LINCOLN Nebr.), Aug. 25--John Fitzger-
aid. President of the Irish National League
Of America, issued an address to-day calling
for convention at Chicago in October.
The call says in part that the present
lamentable condition of affairs in the old
land and the falling off of Irish American
support as the direct result of the dissensiUn
in the ranks of the Parliamentary party are
reasons enough to induce lovers of the cause
to come together and devise measures to
overcome the difficulties. 1t has been
deemed expedient to 60 beyond the lines of
the Irish National League of America and
invite the cooperation OF all lovers of the
Irish cause.
To this end every existing branch of the
Irish National League of America will be
entitled to one delegate for every twenty
five members, and all other societies and
organizations will be allowed one delegate
for every twenty-five persons who, between
now and the 25th of October shall subscribe
$40 to the funds of the league; further,
every individual who has, since the last
convention, contributed at one time S25
through the National Treasurer, or who
shall have done SO before the 25th Of Octo-
ber, shall be entitled to the privileges of
delegate.
The objects of the convention are in sub
stance to examine into the present and past
relations between the league in America and
the leaders.of the national movement, with
view to placing them on a better and more
satisfactory basis; to revise and amend the
constitution; to pledge once more inviolable
fidelity to the cause of Irish liberty and
adopt such measures in support thereof as
may be considered wise and justifiabe.
All who have the cause of Ireland at
heart are earnestly requested to make this
cOnven tion not only a success, but an his
torical landmark in the progress of tn Irish
movement.
THE time has come" says the address,
when we should prove to the world that
our moral courage is not inferior to the
physical bravery our race has ever dis
played on the battlefield. No obstacles nor
temporary political defeats can trighten us
from the path our fathers trOd before us;
we should not abandon the grand old or
ganization which has rendered such valu-
able aid to the Irish cause during the pas
ten years to embrace newly formed asso-
citation resulting from factional differences
and not representative of united and
progressive Irish nationality. The cause is
above men, and the organization should not
be held responsible for the shortcomings of

Lawyer Richard Randall was recently
visited by Mrs. James Bracken, the wife of
an intemperate man. The Brackens reside

Mrs. Bracken on Friday decided to consult
Lawyer Randall.

'Yes, that is what said. If you can get
him to take the pledge and scare him by
threatening to put him in prison he may stop
drinking"
The lawyer looked rather puzzled for a
few minutes, but soon bright smile over
spread his countenance.
Il have lt!' he exclaimed. Now, Mrs
Bracken. III tell you what to do TO cure
your husband of his obnoxious habit You
know what poison ivy is, don't you?"
Yes, sir; but what has that to do with
the liquor my husband drinks?"
You go home aud collect quantity of
poison ivy, and when your husband gets
drunk again. before he lies down, you place
some of it in his bed"
James Bracken tumbled into his home Mrs.
Bracken went back of the house and Sc
cured the ivy and scattered it in her hus-
bands bed. He disrobed, and, being too
drunk to notice the small green
leaves. rolled over and was soon toss
ing about After he had lain on the poison
vines for several hours he arose and
walked the floor. While he was doing that
his wife slipred into the room and removed
the ivy from the bed. Going out Bracken
drank little aud then came home again,
went to bed and slept until morning
When he arose and beheld himself in a
looking-glass he was pretty sight. His
hands and face were swollen from the eff
fects of the poison, but he attributed it all
to the bad rum he had been imbbing His
wife knew that no danger would result
from the ivy and she agreed with him that
he was becoming terribly 5oated. Bracken
became alarmed and swore he woul never
drink another drop of liquor. In the mean
time Mrs. Bracken had been treating her
husband and the swelling and other i'll
effects have disappeared.
The man has not asked for LIQUOR for
three days, which is something unusual. He
is thoroughly convinced that the abnormal
size of his face, limbs and body was caused
by the rum he drank. Paterson special to

VIBRATORY MESSAGES.
Trial Of a New Method of Telegraphing at
Chicago


CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-A new method of tel
egraphing has been tried here. One of the
operators sat at an ordinary receiver placed
in an office on the first floor of building
He used the Morse alphabet and tapped the
message along rubber tube to his compan-
ion on the third floor. The vibration of ths
air in the tube caused mica disc in the re-
ceiver upstairs to flutter TREMENDOUSLY, and
this being connected by an, electric wire
caused the hammer to tap the m essage
clearly and loudly on the receiver.
This was the only place in which cleo
tricity was used, and one cell was found
sufficient to work the machinery necessary
to receive the message that the vibrating air
sent along the tube. 1t is by vibration that
the inventors propose to revolutioniZe the
present system of telegraphy. They claim
that with their system the present expensive
method of insulation with the electric tele-
graph will be entirely done away with, and
that the risk of swapping or breaking by
overcharges of electricity will be reduced to
a minimum.
The men who invented this system are
William Z. Sloane, John E. Hughes and
Orrln ). Reed. Sloane and Reed are gas
filters. Thus far messages have been sent
through tubes only 1870 feet long, bnt exper-
iments will soon be made between cities re-
mote from each other. and then it will be
known whether vibratory messages can be
sent as clearly and quickly, and at the same
time as FAR, as messages by eectricy.

The British Government sent inquiries on
