of letters from a prominent official in
the City of Mexico to friend in this
city became public property by accident.
The letters bring the startling intelIi-
gence that Mexico is on the verge Of an
other revolution, and that already large
quantities Of arms and ann unition are
secreted in the leading cities of the
country. The revolution has been has
tened in its preparation by the recent
death of Gen. Manuel Dublan, secretary
of the Mexican treasury and firm
friend and supporter OF President Diaz
Gen. Dublan WAS one of the few men
who had been able to hold the Diaz ad
ministration together, and now that he
is dead the revolutionists who are about
ready TO strike blow at the govern
ment are simply waiting for the signal
TO be given. The reyolutlonists, who
include the great mass Of natives. are
led by some Of the abiest politicians Of
Mexico. They viii wait until Diaz is
crippled by his financial trouble with
the Berlin house Of BierscGr,eder, and
Will then make a bold concerted effort
20 seize the government.

A NEW SCHEME.
\ Plan of Alliance Leaders to Corner


= Plan of Alliance Leaders to Corner
Wheat.
\ great scheme has been devised by
somebody within the Farmers Alliance.
1t is proposed TO withhold this
years wheat crop from market
until the farmers can get their own
price, or at least a price considerably
above the average. The plan is
unlolded iii a circular of advice issued
through accredited official channels TO
all members of farmers organizations
in the United States. ltsuggests a great
combination of the 6,00O,GOO members
of farmers organizations, and has the
relative importance and force of an Of
fetal order for 4 strike among the ,0OO,-
600 members of the Federation Of Labor
or the 10000 members of the Knights
Of Labor. The circular, which is pre-
sun ed to be 8 secret document, is now
ready for mailing, and it will be sent 10
the 1000, 600 members of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial MON, the
100000 members of the Colored Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, the l,000, eco
members Of the National Farmers
Alliance of the North, the 1000
members of the Farmers Mutual
Benevolent Association, the 600, 900
members of the Patrons of Husbandry,
and the l5o,O GOO members of the Farm
ers' League. The farmers organiZa-
tions now apparently feel in position
to make demands calculated to yield
pecuniary profits 10 the agricultural
classes, and they propose to begin with
a gigantic combination in wheat. The
official appeal is vigorous document,
though somewhat disconnected.
