JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 3O.--The life
size statue of ex-President jefferson
Davis, intended to be placed in the vesti.
bule of the Confederate monument here,
was submitted to the committee. After
careful inspection the committee took
an informal vote on the acceptance,
agreeing that the vote should not be
final. The committee voted not to ac-
cept on the ground that 1t was not q
good likeness of Mr.. Davis. The com
mittee agreed to refer the matter of ac-
ceptance to new committee of twenty
five citizens, composed of persons to
whom Mr.. Davis was we'll known.

Declares Himself Dictator--A Reign Of
TsrrOr-Martial Law.
CITY OF Mexico, Sept. 80.-A revo-
luton has been precipitated in the re-
public of Guatemala. A gentleman
who left the city of Guatemala on the
morning of the 14th inst, and who
reached this city on horseback from the
Mexican port of Acapulco, Monday,
brings information that an outbreak oc-
Cured in Guatemala city on the 18th
inst, and was still in progress when he
left 1t appears that the people were
celebrating the anniversary Of their ma
tional holiday and President Barrilas
had personally appointed the orators of
the day. To this the masses took ex-
ception, and when the orators took the
rostrum it was signal for storm of
stones which set them to fight, they be-
ing chased across the big plaza by a
bowling mob shouting Down with the
government" Down with despotism
and tyranny" ''Die, Barrilas."
Attempt to Clear the Plaza.
An exciting scene followed, and every
known Liberal or Barrilas partisan was
driven from the plaza, being soundiy
stoned at every step. Tie news of the
riot spread sapidly and soon Barrilas
threw battalion of infantry into the
large square for the purpose of dispers-
ing the mob. They, with fixed bayonets,
attempted to carry the plaza by assault
They were met with shower Of stones
and bullets from revolvers. This unex-
pected action of the mob put them to
ignominious fight, leaving many dead
and wounded on the plaza. The uproar
was something to be long remembered.
Members of the mob shouted: Lets
storm the national palace, kill Barrilas
and restore republican form of govern
ment; Guatemala should not be ruled by
a dictator" "Plundering of the national
treasury must cease"
Barrilas then ordered artillery into the
plaza and infantry and two cannon to
guard his residence. When the guns
were turned on the mob there was
general dispensing of them, though they
discharged their revolvers at the
artillerymen. They left the plaza, fought
in the side streets; In fact they practic-
ally on the night Of the 18th, held full
control of the city. The reports of re-
volvers and rifles were to be heard all
night, and at the hour the gentleman
giving this information left for San Jose
de Guatemala to embark for Acapulco
fighting was still in progress.
May Cause General Revolt.
In his conception this will cause gen.
eral revolt throughout the entire republic
of Guatemala and engender war in all of
the other Central American states. A
strict censorship is maintained over all
press dispatches, and the mails are also
trified with to prevent the leaking out of
anY information.

special from Grand Rapids, Mimi, says:
Il is learned that most destructive

of this and Beltram counties, Telling an
immense amount Of pine lumber, and
causing some loss of life. Particulars
are impossible TO get, owing to the re-

Dying by Wholesale--NO Work for the

Seed Grain stopped-Immense Tracts
of Land Lying Waste, and a Scarcity of
Grain Threatened in 1892.
LONDON, Sept. 3d. The Telegraph's
St. Petersburg correspondent says:
Dispatches from the interior are more
alarming. The August frosts destroyed
the barley crop, the staple food in Arch
angel. In the extreme north the crops
have been spoiled by rains. Straw from
thatched roofs is utilized for fodder.
Cattle are dying by wholesale on the
roadsides. Various ministers have issued
conflicting orders, resulting in utter
chaos. The grants of seed corn have
been stopped. Immense tracts of land
are lying waste, and scarcity of corn
is threatened in 1899. The cattle plague
has broken out in many places. Peas
ants in Sogowasky attacked some veter-
mary surgeons who had been sent to
destroy infected cattle, and several were
wounded in the skirmish. Clergymen
are becoming beggars. Women are
selling themselves to support their chill
dren No work can be procured by the
starving persons, even on the Volga.
The shares of the Steam Navigation
company have fallen heavily. The new
loan will only be as a drop in the ocean.
A large budget deficit is certain, and to
make matters worse million loads of
rye promised by the governor of neigh
boring province, add on which the min
istry had relied, do not exist. This dis.
covery has caused CONSERVATION. The
famine is expected to reach its acme in
November. The peasants threaten q
revolution unless the czar gives them
relief from private sources. Partial
risings are already reported.
Significant.
The Berlin Post says that the fact that
Russian papers are devoid of news about
the famine is a bad sign. The intensity
of the distress may be judged from the
fact that in many places the elementary
schools have been closed on account of
lack of funds.
In many districts the starving popu-
lation are keeping themselves alive by
making what they call "hunger bread"
1t is hardly to be believed that human
beings could live upon such a compound
as this "hunger bread" yet it is stated,
as fact, that the ingredients entering
into the composition of this bread are
dried dung, the powdered bark of trees,
and ground peas The great fair at
Nishne Novgorod is failure. Many
peasants are committing suicide. Thou
sands are asking permission to emigrate
to China or elsewhere.

showed to your correspondent Monday
night, from Newton, says that fully 500
lives were sacrificed in the three days

and killed Jobon, has been executed;
while the city is under martial law. A
reign of terror prevails, the inhabitants

of the negotiations intrusted to J. E. j..
Limantour, as Mexican commissioner,
TO treat with United States Minister
Ryan on reciprocity, is strictly limited
to the provision of the American tariff
law in its third section. The question
to be discussed is simply what compensa-
tion can Mexico give to the United
States for the free admission of her
sugar, hides and coffee. The question
of the admission of lead ores free of
duty, therefore, is shut out. There is no

FARGO, N. D., Sept. 3O.-The west
bound freight on the Northern Pacific
Monday, switched car Of oil onto side
track at Buffalo, about thirty miles west
of Fargo. 1t was not discovered until
too late that the brake on the car would
not work, and the car passed over the

started down the steep grade just as Q
cattle train of twenty-five cars started
up the grade
The car struck the engine, scattering
oil in all directions, the headlight on the
engine setting it ON fire. Engineer j.
G. Curtis and Fireman w. Z. Dodge
were covered with the burning oil and
died inside an hour. Brakeman Arthur
A. Beaton was badly burned and will
lose the sight of both eyes, and the
chances are largely against his surviv-
ing the shock Thirteen cars Of cattlo
were set on fire by the burning oil and
were wholly consumed.

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-In recent speech
Chancellor Caprivi, referring to the
political situation, said that the appre-
hension in some quarters as to whether
the existing state of things would be
maintained was not warranted. Not
one of the sovereigns, he added, wished
to disturb the peace or provoke q
European war. Even the approachment
between states which has recently oc-
CURED did not affect ground for alarm.
They were merely the expression of
already existing circumstances. Per-
haps they were nothing more than the
establishment of an European equili-
bfium rs it formerly existed No
European government, the chancellor
continued, desired war, which in its suf-
ferings and consequences would prob
ably be more terrible than all previous
wars.

Raise Your own Cows.

Galen Wilson, in National Stockman.
1t is known that nervous excitement
will cause COW 70 seerete milk almost
devoid of cream, and nothing can much
more excite her than removal from her
old home TO new one, especially if her
attendants are also strange to her. 1t
requires several months for COWS in a
strange place to get over the nerv-
Gus excitement incident TO the
change. They shrink in the
quantity and quality of milk, and
some never reach their maximum again.
1 know a valuable HOlStein COW which
changed owners three years ago. and
the change reduced her value perma-
nently about one-third. This is the
strongest, as we'll as sufficient. ar
gument why one should raise his own
cows. According to Gov. Hoard's
theory the best cows are the most nerY-
Gus, and therefore most liable to de-
preciate by removal. The quiet, un-
disturbed COW makes good use of all
its surplus food in milk production.
How very important, then, that the
feeder should rear all his animals in
the atmosphere of kindness, that no un-
gentlenesS be shown them, in order that
they may ever regard his presence with
pleasure. Hone-bred cows, treated
with this full measure of kindness, and
fed intellIgently. will produce all that
it is in them to do; but those removed
to new homes will deteriOrate more or
less,

ers' report, and eulogiZed him as a man
OF the stricteSt integrity and honor.
President Gompers, i'll answering a
question, said that as long as be was
president of the Federation, no organi-
cation having the color line in its con-
stitutiou could obtain a charter from
the American Federation of Labor.
AT the opening of the afternoon Ses-
sion, Miss Ida Van Etten spoke in favor
or appointing a woman organizer for
WOmen's organizations. She took Occa-
sion to criticise Delegate Leman for OPP
posing the proposition. Mr.. Leman de-
MED her statement as false. Intense eX-
eltement followed, but the matter was
soon laid over.
When election Of officers came up,
there was lively time. Mr.. Delabar,
Mr.. Burt and Samuel Gompers were
nominated for president. Mr.. Delabar
received 120 votes, Mr.. Burt 30, and
President GOmpers 1886. President
Gonpers was declared reelected. Del
egate Harding wished to be recorded
against GOmpers, so the reelection was
not unanimous. 2. j. McIuire, of BoS-
ton, was elected first vice president. and
William A. Carney, of Pittsburg, second
vice president. Chris Evans was re-
elected secretary unanimously, and
John 3. Leman was elected treasurer.
There was strong opposition to Pres
ldent GOmperS, and especially among
the Southern delegation. President
Gempers made brief speech thanking
the Federation for the honor and piedg-
Ing himself to do his whole duty.

American Draft Type.

The draft horse is highly commended
by the American Express company, of
New York, in a report published in the
Rural New Yorker. This report evil
IDENTIFY refers 10 u type of draft horses
becoming noted as distinctly American
breed. IC says: Il have investigated
the matter regarding the best type of
horses for our use, by obtaining the
opinions Of our stable superintendent
in the principal cities at which
we have large interests in horsefiesh.
One and all agree that. of tile two
types OF draft horses. medium between
the tall, long-legged and the low down,
block horse, is the most desirable for
our business. He can haul heavier loads
longer distances with greater ease and
in quicker time than horse of either of
the two extremes"
Our American breeders, in all lines of
live stock, have been able to produce q
better type than that imported as rule,
and this is but another testimony to this
fact.

How Sugar Is Made From Beets.

The Sugar Beet contained a descrip-
ton of the process of sugar making at
the Oxnard factory at Grand Island,
Neb., where the industry has been sue
cessfuly developed, says the Indiana
Farmer. The supply of beets is OBJ
tanned from very extended area. and
they are delivered at the factory by
special arrangements with three rail
roads at Il low freight rate. several cents
per ton per hundred miles. A beet
sugar factory, as shown by the ilIustra-
tons. requires a good deal of very
complicated machinery, labyrinths
of steam coils, pipes, cylinders,
etc. The beets are received by rail or
wagons in special sheds of 1000 tons ca
pacity. Their interior is V-shaped, and
at the bottom is a continual flow of
water through narrow canal. The
roots are thus tieated to the factory,
where they are raised by a bucket
wheel into the washer, then elevated by
an endless apron to automatic register
ing scales. thence TO the Slicer. Then
begins the extraction of the Juice, the
DELEGATIONS. hitering. evaporation and
boiling down in vacuum pans. and the
final separation of the centrifugalS, all
