luton in Guatemala in which 500 lives
have been sacrificed 1t appears that
the people were celebrating the ami
versary OF their national holiday, and
President Barillas had personally ap-
pointed the orators of the day. To this
the masses took exception. When the
orators took the rostrum 1t was signal
for a storm of stones, which set them to
flight, they being chased across the big
plaza by bowling mob An exciting
scene followed and every Barillas
partisan was driven from the plaza.
The news of the riot spread rapidly,
and soon Barillas threw battalion
of infantry into the large square
for the purpose OF dispensing
the mob They, with fixed bay
onets. attempted to carry the
plaza by assault. They were met
with a shower of stones and by a fusil-
lade from reyolvers, and fed, leaving
many dead and wounded behind. Mem
bers of the mob shouted: "let's storm
the national palace, XIII RarlIas and re-
store a republican form of government J"
"rlunderinS the national treasury must
cease" Barillas then ordered artillery
into the plaza and infantry and two
cannon to guard his residence. When
the guns were turned on the mob the
rioters fed, keeping up desultory fire
on the soldiers They left the plaza,
but fought In the side streets; in fact
they practically during the night held
full control of the city.

HISTORY IN THE RAW.

eminent at Washington.

eminent at Washington.
1t is said that Secretary Blaine. before
reltnquishing the portfolio OF the Depart
ment OF state, will try to secure the publi-
cation of at least portion OF the historical
archives Of the Government which are at
present stored away under his charge. as
they have been hitherto In the care of his
predecessors. Many attempts have been
made to obtain an appropriation for this
purpose. but Congress has never responded.
The National Legislature IS too keenly In
terested In the present, keeping an eye al
ways on the future. to feel the slightest
enthusiasm concerning the past, and thus
those enormously valuable records are per-
mitted to molder away, food only for the
hookworm and the patient historical
searcher. Here, in fact, is the great re-
pository of American history from which
Bancroft, Henry Adams, Hiidreth and
others drew most OF their information.

RUSSIA FEARS CHINA.


Why the Gar Refuses to A ssist I'm Coercing
the Cclcstials.
The refusal Of Russia to take q hand in
coercing China is attributed to the dread
with which the Russians regard Chfna's
capacity for injuring Russia's interests in
the interior of Asia. Russia has always
feared sudden and overwhelming move
mcnt of the Chinese that would sweep back
the Russian Empire perhaps t, the Ural
Mountains This fear seems to be tradi-
tional, and is as strong to-day as when Rus
sia was a Tartar province. The Chinese
have IL very large force stationed near the
Mo tchoorian boundary. and could throw an
army into Siberia superior to any force
that Russia could readily place in that
