Ii, wa. hot, and the congregations were
not large, but the services were excellent
and helpful. The 8 O'Clock social service
was led by Rev. W. s Joue., who for
several years has presided over these meet
iDgs so scceptsbly.
The first sermon was psesched at 10
o'clock by Rev. A. 5 Laid Of Gsidioer, who
mad charge Of the meeting. The text vas

hearty smers.
The preacher of the afternoon was
Rev. n. c. Clifford, conference trac.
and book agent. His text was Acts
! = "Ye shsll receive power when the Holy
Ghost is come upon you" 1t was a direct
and earnest AZ peal to Christians not to trust
in numbers, appliances, organizations or
literary gifts, but in addition to sIl these to
seek this endowment Of power. Mr.. Ladd

BANDITS IN MEXICO.

The COGSuI-GGl6FaPS Views.

SAN ANTONIO Tex. Sept 21-News was
received here tonight from the towns along
the Mexican frontier that the people in all
the towns in the northern part Of the re-
public are wildly excited over the move
ments of General Ruiz Sandoval and his
army OF malcontents and revolutionists, who
are marauding in the neighborhood OF Ca
margo, Mexico, committing many depreda-
tions and acts of violence. The Fifth In
fantry and the Tenth Cavalry this evening
left Nuevo Laredo for Camargo. Troops
were sent also from several Of the frontier
posts to the same place, and an engagement
is expected to take place within two OF three
days. No confirmation has yet been re-
ceiyed of the hanging OF Catarina Garcia,
one If the leaders of the rev0lutionists.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2-Richard Guenther,
United States Consul-General to Mexico,
was in this city to-day on his way from his
Wisconsin home to the Mexican capital
Regarding the recent disturbance in Mexico
he said: The present disturbance Is in
dicative of nothing more serious tnan the
doinGs of a small faction that is always dis
satisfied. The so-called revolution Will be
short-lived Before the days of railroads
and telegraphs such uprislngs could gain
some momentum before the Government
heard of them Now, however, the Govern
ment is able to cope with any uprising as
soon as it is started"
CORPUS CHRISTI, Sept. 21--A special
frcm Rio Graude says that the revolutiOnlSt
Garcia and nearly two hundred followers
were seen last night sixty miles south of
Camargo, pressing for the Rio Grande River,
pursued by Mexican troops. The invaders
were heading for Santa Maria.
Another dispatch from Laredo says that
eco Mexican cayarymen have arrived there
and will join in the pursuit.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A dispatch re-
ceived to-day at the State Department from
the United States Consul at MaIamoras,
Mexico, says that Garcia and his party Of
revolutionists are being closely pursued by
the Mexican troops and final engagement
is expected. 1t is believed that Garcia will
try to cross the Rio Graude into the United
States at Salicano or Reynosa, or perhaps

The United States Attorney General Orders
The Libel Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The Attorney
General was advised to-day OF the filing at
San Diego. Cal, of a second libel against
the Chilean steamer IJata for $500, 900 for
damages against the vessel for escaping
from the United States Marshal and for
the expenses incurred in her recapture. The
proprety of prosecuting this second libel is
now being considered by the Attorney-Gen-
eral. The first libel against the vessel for
forfeiture for violation OF the neutrality
laws Will in all probability be abandoned,
though pOstpoGtmeut of the trial, now set
for tile 18th inst, will be made.
The AItoruey-tieneral has directed the
United States District Attorney to dis
miss the second li5e! against the Itata. and
she will he Immediately released and free to
resume traffic THIS new libel was fled
against the vessel unknown TO and un-
authorized by the Attorney General.
With the consent of the Attorney
General the ltata was released on bond,
but before the bond was taken, appraisers
were appointed, who appraised the vessel
and cargo. The bOndsmeu accepted will
now be responsible for any damages
against the vessel set forth in the indict-
nent for libel should the court sustain the
libel. October Goth has been set for the
consideration of the indictment against
TrumbuE and Burt, the agents of the YES
sci. The libel case is to be considered i'm
mediately afterward.
Los ANGELES, Sept. 21.-Appraisers in
the case Of the steamer Itata to-day re-
ported to Judge Ross, fixing the value of
the vessel at 100000 and the arms at the
same amount, when the vessel was ordered
released on the filing of bonds in double the
amount. The attorneys for the Chileans
denounce the District Attorney for filing a
second libel, alleging that lie had violated
his pledges to allow the vessel to sail at the
earliest possible moment. The counsel for
defense in the cases against Richard l..
Trumbull, George A. Burt and Captain
0Farrell asked for a speedy trial, which
was opposed by the Government on the
ground that it was immpossible to get the
witnesses. The case was finally set for Oc-

HE FAYORS A TEST CASE.

Mr. burst Not Satisfied With Ex-Justi
McKinstry's Advice.
City and County Attorney Burst Is not
satisfied with the advice given by ex-Justice
McKiustry to the Board of Supervisors in
relation to the increase of the assessment
roll, and proposed at conference yester-
day of the Mayor, himself and the Judiciary
Committee of the Board of Supervisors to
have the question safely and definitely set
tied by test case.
He thinks this course should be pursued
to preserve the legality of the entire assess
ment. If the board proceeds according to
present plans, as intended, and the matter
should by any chance come into court after
ward, the years revenue would be jeopar-
died, and if decided adversely it is lost.
This would be little short OF public calanl-
ity. and If il can be avoided should be.
The Mayor and committee did not seem to
think there was such danger to be feared,
and favored letting the boards proceedings
stand as they are, instructing the Auditor to
make the so rer cent increase in the State
portion of the taxes only.

Sir James Ferguson Appointed Postmaster
General Of Great Britain.

LONDON. Sept. 21.-Sir James Ferguson,
Political Secretary for the Foreign Office,
has been appointed PostmasterGeneral. to
fill the vacancy caused by the death Of
Henry Cecil Raikes.
Sir John E. Gorst, Political Secretary of
the India Office, In an interview to-day
upon the English land question. declined to
commit himself to any definite plan Tor the
settlement of his grievance. He said, how
ever: Something must and will be done or
a revolution is certain. do not mean a
bloody revolution, but l mean the people
will demand the possession of tile land they
live upon. They have now the power to do
so and they are, dissatisfied with their pres
eut lot, consequently they will have things
altered"
Considerable attention has been attracted
toward Sir John Gnrst, who has been
member of the Royal Labor Commission
since June last, when, in a remarkable out
burst of plain speaking in the Commons, he
expressed contempt for certain members of
the Ministry. His present utteIance would
seem to indicate the appointment of Sir
James Ferguson as Postmaster General ad
caused him to break out in a new direction.

leading Tory Democrat and intimateS he is
preparing to bid high for the rural vote.

". R. HEARST SUED.
The Remington Paper Company Brings an
Action for 100000.

NEW YORK, Sept. Civ. R. Hearst has
had the papers served on him in suit
brought against him by the Remington
Paper Company of Watertown, n. Y. The
papers have been in the lawyers hands since
August 10th, but it was impossible to reach
Hearst though the lawyers had even hired
detectives to serve the papers. Hearst was
away onihs steam yacht so often that the de-
tectives had a long weary chase, and did not
succeed in serving the papers till September
10th, when they posted sentinels at three
different piers, and managed to find Hearst
as he was about going aboard his yacht
at Thirty-ftth street. The lawyers say
that the cause of the suit IS
that Hearst made contract with
the Remington Paper Company in 1883. by
tile terms Of which they were to supply pa
per to the Examiner of San Francisco at
a rate of . cents pound for
five years. They furnished the paper until
1890, when Hearst said he could bur the
same kind of paper for less money, and.it is
said, refused to accept any more at the con-
tract price. The lawyers for the Reming-
ton Paper Company say that :he paper was
better in quality than they agreed TO
furnish, while Hearst had charged that the
quality was not as good. The amount for
which the suit is said to be brought is about
