Secret Meetings are Being Held and an

ST.. Louis, June g. Special Dis
patches from the City of Mexico say
that advices have been received there
from the City of Guatemala to the effect
that secret meetings are being held in
Atlas or the upper districts Of Guate-
mala, at which revolutionary plans are
being formulated for tho overthrow of
Barillas government
These meetings are attended by some
OF tho most prominent residents, and
speeches are made urging separation.
Some of the small garrisons at various
towns are ready to join the separation
lists, and many rich coffee planters are
ready to secede and furnish money to
erect now republic. The people openly
declare they will no longer endure
Barillas' despotism, and an early out

emigrated from Sutherlandshire to
Canada and settled in Kingston in 1920.
The son entered public life in 1914 as
as the representative of the city of
Kingston in the house of assembly, and
continued to sit for this constituency
until the union of 1867, when he was
elected to the house of commons by the
same electorate until 1878. when he was
defeated. He was reelected in 1887 by
both Carleton and Kingston. He took
an active part in bringing about the
Canadian confederation, and in 1SS6-S7
he was chairman of the London colonial
conference when the British North
America act was passed by the imperial
parliament.
On July l, 1867, the new constitution
came into force in Canada and Sir John
Macdonald was sworn as privy council
lor and appointed minister OF justice
and attorney general. In recognition
OF his services he was created knight
commander Of the bath (civiD by the
queen, and in 1884 he received the grand
cross of the same order He remained
prime minister until 1873, when his
government resigned on the Canadian
Pacific charges. Alexander Mackenzie
accepted the office, and for nearly five
years Sir John was the leader of the
opposition. In September, 1878, the
Liberal party was defeated at the polls
on the cry of protection to the native
industries, and Sir John became premier
and has remained at the head of affairs
in Canada ever since.
lie achieved q decided victory at the
polls at the recent election ON the issue
OF restricted commercial relations with
the United States as against the plan of
unrestricted reciprocity advocated by
the Liberals. 1t is currently believed
that the Conservative victory was due
absolutely to his astute and experienced
mancuvcring. His death, therefore,
might mean a very serious change in
the political balance of power in the
Dominion.
Sir John Macdonald executed several
delicate diplomatic missions. He was
one of the British joint high commits
sioners which settled the Alabama
claims question with the United States
For this service he was called to the

NEW YORK, June 6.-ISpeciall-
For several days past there has been an
animated trade in silver bullion certi-
ficates upon the stock exchange. The
price, however, has ruled steadily
around 9S cents per ounce and has
seemed, in Wall Street parlance, to have
been pegged at that figure.
1t was rumored on Wall Street this
morning that large French syndicate
had been formed to purchase this entire
stock of silver. The syndicate, it was
said. was represented in this country
by the banking house of Heidelbach,
Ickelheimer S Co., of 30 William street.
The head of the syndicate in Europe is
thought to be the house OF Thorsch g
Co., of Vienna.
1t is said that Heidelbach, Ickel-
heimer N Co. held about three million
ounces of stock represented by the re-
ceipts of the Mercantile Trust Company
which last night were 5,436, 55a ounces.
AS the needs of the syndicate which
proposes to purchase about five million
ounces are not yet filled; silver will not
as yet be withdrawn from the Mercan-
tile Trust Company.
If this were done the shortness in the
supply would become at once apparent
and the price would advance rapidly.
The plan of the syndicate seems to
be about as follows: 1t is thought that
the stock of silver held in New York
represents large part of the whole
1oating supply. Last year England
held the largest stock of silver, but it
has since been sent to Japan, India and
China. The whole product of this coun-
try is used up by the Government in
meeting legal requirements for coinage
and by art IL Europe needs any more
silver the syndicate, controlling practic-
ally large part Of tho floating supply,
will be in position to dictate the price
at which it will part with it. More
over, as election time approaches it is
thought that the West will renew the
silver agitation and that another effort
Will be made in the next Congress to
put through free coinage bill.
Silver went up to 100 last year on the
expectation of free coinage, and If the
bill should become law this wear it
will undoubtedly go to that figure again.
The third point that the syndicate is
said to be calculating upon is that the
recent and present troubles in Europe
will force tho gold standard countries to
adopt .bimetalic standard. During
the panic i'll November last the Bank of
England, tho greatest financial institu-
ton in the world, was forced to become
borrower from the Bank France of three
million pounds.
Tho Bank of France was able to
advance this sum only on account of it's
ability, through its charter, to pay out
silver as we'll as gold when its notes are
presented for payment

VANDEHBILT'S PALACE,

Young George Vanderbilt's = residence
and grounds near Asheville. N. G., are
being pushed rapidly to completion.
When completed it will be second only
to Senator Stanford's Palo Alto ranch,
as the grandest estate in America.
The residence will be one of the most
costly in this country, and the sur
rounding park of $4,000 acres Of land
is being laid out under the direction
of Il noted landscape gardener, who has
been instructed to spare no expense.
The Vanderbilt house will be two miles
from the nearest residence. and a pri-
vatesrailroad for the uso OF George
Vanderbilt and his retainers, has beer
constructed, or is in she course of con-
struction, to reach the nearest railroad
station, which is twenty-five miles
away. The bits of description concern
ing the house itself and the proposed
furnishing and equipment Of it, call
up ideas Of extravaganza and splendor
which can only be gotten in another
way by reading the ''Arabian Nights. :"
1t is stated that young Vanderbilt has
become so fascinated with the idea of
establishing a North Carolina estate
that his thoughts scarcely concern
themselves with anything else, and he
has spent and seems to be willing to
spend any amount of money to bring
everything to the most complete imag-
Unable point. When completed, the
home will have cost him something
like S5, 600, ,0OO.-G Grecnrills Spirit.

Public Schools in the South,

The Philadelphia Times has been
looking into the public school question,
and is of the opinion that the public
delusion, fosteyed and kept aaame by
Northern partisan organs" that the
popular school system receives but
scant support and eucourag ement in
Southern States, has received its
quietus from the census of 1890. The
idea, says the Times, turns out to be
not only a myth but positive wrong
to great and progressive section of
the union" From the figures quoted
by the Times it appears that Missis-
sippi has made q gain 1870 per cent. in
public school enrolment in the past
decade. Louisiana has gained 1852
per cent; Texas, 1866 per cent;
North Carolina, 27.0S; South Carolina,
50. SO; Virginia 55.06, West Virginia,
"a. A. Not a single Northern State,
adds the Times, shows anything like
that rate of increase. On the contrary
New Hampshire sustains a loss. Of 7.5l
per cent. Maine 7.38 and Vermont one

in public school enrolment Connecti-
