THAT MEXICAN FIGHT.
American Advices Confirm 1t, but
the News From the other Side
Denies it,
But 1t Is Very Hard to Obtain In,
formation From Mexican
Commanders.

LAREDO, Tex, Dee. 2S.-The reported
engagement at Las AnimaS has been
confirmed by news received here this
morning. The Mexican troops were
routed. having thirteen soldiers killed
and MANY wounded. Six of the revOlu-
tionists were killed. They were com
manded by Gen. Estrada, and the Mexi-
can troops by Gen. Garcia. Seven
wounded Mexican soldiers arrived at
Nuevo Laredo. News was received from
down the river yesterday that the
UuIted States troops, under Lieut.. HOli-
ken. and posse of deputy marshalS
with an experienced trailer are on the
trail OF the revolutionary party who
captured two United States deputy
marshals, Guerrero and RenayideS, and
will not stop until they are rescued.
NUEVO LAREDO, Mex, Dec. 2S.-This
has been day Of suppressed excitement
and anxiety in military circles here. as
there was every reason for believing
that the revolutiOniStS would make an
attack on Guerrero, where large guam
tity of arms and ammunition was
stored. 1t is very hard to OBJ
tain any information from Col.
Corona. who commands the gar
rison here. but it is certain that the
expected attack has not yet been made.
There have been rumOrs here of an
other engagement, however, about
twenty miles south of San Miguel, be-
tween $50 revOlutiOniSts and detach-
ment of eighty Mexican soldiers.
i'll which five soldiers were
wounded. The announcement that
the revoluutionitS under COM
mand of Gen. Francisco Estrada had
o,,J AnF
commanded by Gen. Manuel GIritia on
the road leading to Guerrero, produced
much excitement. Gen. Estrada is the
Mexican army officer who was in COM
mand of one of the divisions of the gov
ernment army. He suddenly disappeared
about two weeks ago. and the fact
that he mad identified himself with the
revolutionary movement indicat eSthe
attempt to overthrow the Mexican gov
ernment is to be a desperate one. He
was one of the most popular army Of
| ticers i'll Mexico, ard the fact OF his join
ing the revOlutioniStS will cause thou
sands TO flock to their standard.
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 2S.-The re-
| port that 800 Mexican troops under Gen.
| Garzia had been routed 10y 250 reyolu-
tiOniStS at Las Dimas. west of Guerrero,
! is believed to be without foundation.
| Garcia telegraphed to the government
| today, but said nothing about the re-
| ported engagement.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. Capt J. G..
Bourke. Second cavalry. had an inter-
view with Adjutant General Williams,
of the war department, today, aud left
here this afternoon for his station at
San Antonio, Tex. 1t is understood
that he conveys secret instructions
! for the guidance of Gen. Wheaton i'll
the conduct OF his campaign against the
Mexican TevOutionists on the north
bank of the Rio Grande, and that Capt.
Bourke is charged with the special duty
of investigating tine situation for tho
benefit of the war department.

story he told of where he had been and
what he had been doing was true i'll
every particular. Their inquiries re-
vealed that the man in custody had not
been near the scene of the explosion.
and. an alibi having been satisfactorily
shown. nothing remained but to release
him. The police are, there fore. as far
as ever from discovering the author of
the outrage. Col. Majendie, the head
of the explosives department Of the
home Office, says that, Judging from the
specimens of the debris submitted to
him, he believes that the explosive en-
ployed was Atlas powder,and not dyna-
mite, as has been generally believed.

Dublin, he displayed profound agitatio n.
He quickl y recovered his composure,
however, and, upon being told all the
known facts in connection with the
affair. said that the explosion could
not in any way be connected with
politics. The crime, he added. could
not be accounted for by any sensible
supposition, and was idiotic in its con.
ception. He expressed deep sorrow and
sympathy for the family of Detective

FATHER M'GLYNN.

DR.. McGlynn has been forgiven: but
how about Henry George?-New York
Commercial Advertiser.
That he is fully restored to the priest
hood will certainly make no ones Christ
mas the sadder.-New York World.
Father McGlynn has made surrender
to the church because the impulses
which took him out of it have spent
their force. and because he has been
unable to exercise influence outside of
its pale e-Philadplphia Inquirer.
Father McGlynn is restored to his
prestly functions and freed from all
ecclps aStical cenSures. but what is to
become of the multtudes of that good
but impulsive mans multltudaS of
friends who have strayed after him far
outside of the fOld?-NeW York Iele-
gram.
That the world is improving is demon
strated by the fact that the lessons of
charitable tolerance taught by the Great
Founder of all churches are overcoming
the narroWneSs of ecceSias ticism and
bigotry. We congratulate the good
doctor upon his Christmas gift. New
York Advertiser.
The Leader does not defend the single
tax and anti-pOYerty doctrines Of Henry
George. bnt every man. priest or lay
man, Catholic or Protestant, has right
to believe or advocate those doctrines if
he thinks they are correct, and DR.. Nc
Glynn has as much right to make polit-
ical speeches for Henry George as other
priests nd bishops have to work for the
cause of the Democracy Cleveland

The reinstatement of Rev. DIR. Nc
Glynn as priest in good standing by
Mgr. Satoll. representing the pope. is
a conspicuous personal triumph for him.
In plain English, it means that his sus-
pension and subsequent eXcommunica-
ton were mistakes, to use no harsher
word, and that justice to Dr.. McGlynn.
no less than regard for the interests
of the church. demands his restoration.

by Hoosier Judge

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. .2S.-At Kokomo
today Silas W. X. Jones, seventy years
old, whom Colorado officers arrested
last Saturday night on the charge
of bigamy, was released from
custody by Judge kirkpatrick,
of the circuit court. Gov.
Chase revoked the warrant for Jones'
arrest, putatively because of cler-
ical error i'll the affidavit charg-
ing the crime, but really because of
the showing made by Jones' attOr-
neys that there was an organized
effort to eXtOrt money from the accused.
Meeker, the Colorado officer, remains in
Indiana waiting for properly drawn
affidavit from Denver, when another at
tempt will be made to return Jones to
Colorado.

Feeling of Dread Pervading the
Citizens Of Hamburg.
HAMBURG. Dec. 28.-Cfolera con-
tinues to claim new victims. and, al
though those attacked belong to the
lower classes. the feeling of dread that
warm weather will herald the approach
of another season of epidemic grows in
strength daily. The list Of new cases
and deaths is small, but it betokens that
the disease is ouly quiescent, and needs
only favorable conditions to again raw
age the city. Every precaution has been
taken to check the disease, but it is
feared that the seeds of death sowed
last summer will yield a fruitful harvest
i'm the spring.

OPPOSED BY THE GRANGE.
Supt. Kiehle Not a Friend of the
Common Schools.

Supt. Kiehle Not q Friend of the
Common Schools.
President Bull, of the state grange as
soclatiOn, was seen yesterday. and in
the course of his remarks he said thai a
resolution had been passed at the last
meeting Of the association in December
recommending the the next legislature
to Investigate the text book and supply
system. He stated that he had heard
many expressions by the farmers
throughout the country in regard to the
state superintendency appointment, and
many were opposed to continuance of
the present incumbent on the ground
that he has had the office long enough
and they favored change. Some said
that Mr.. Kiehle favored higher educa-
ton 10 the neglect of the common
schools; that the common schools were
Ill need of teachers in many instances,
and that if new man was appointed
their Interests i'll this respect might be
served.
A prominent educator of Rennepln
county said that this appointment of
superintendent ought not to be politi-
cal matter at all. and he was seriously
opposed to anything of the kind. He
knew that there was feeling in regard
to change Of administration by some,
and that great amount of pressure
was being brought upon the governor
by both sides, but be believed that Gov.
Nelson would make the appointment
regardless of any pressure that might
be brought by any parties.

JONES CHARITY.

Jones was pillar of the church.

The path of moral rectitude
In his sanetimOniouS face.
He neer did wrong TO any man.
His heart no meanness knew,
And he always did to others
AS he wished TO be done to.
His piety was good and strong,
You saw that at glance,
For his constant genutiectlonS
Had worn out his Sunday pants.
The very sight Of poverty
Would give him sore Distress
And those who gave to charity,
He said that God would blesa

OUR OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.

This has Deen severe season for the
Atlantic liners. They have fought their
way from shore to shore in the face of
the storm kings embattled hosts. The
icy seas have swept their decks and
SplaShed high on the maSts and rigging
until these huge transports resembled
rushing icebergS. The temperature has
been lower than ever before known
along the same course, and gales
have seldom blown more fiercely.
Accidents have been numerous, and
that great loss of life has been
aYerted is due only to the almost
incredible staunchness of construction
OF modern ocean steamships. With
hole III her bottom as big as a house,
the steamship Spree came safely to port
through hundreds of leagues of stormy
seas; and scarcely have we forgot our
amazement at this marvellous deliver
ance than the Nordland has an almost
Identical experience. 1t has been dem
Onstrated that, although there are nat
ural limits to the strength of steel and
iron which mans ingenuity cannot sur
pass. and that, therefore, shafts and
machinery may break like brittle glass
under the pounding seas, ships can be.
and have been, built which can survive
this smashing process, and keep afoat
though the water pours into their bot
toms as it pOurS into the basin of Min

that though the price of books has

socialism which regards the consumers

benefit of those engaged in the trade.
All that the judge has done is to apply
TO an admitted state Of facts principles
of law as old as English Jurisprudence {;
and yet, admitting these facts, the de-
fendant company evidently thought the
old law obsolete, Or it would not have
had the hardihood to defend the suit.
The association is made up of retail
dealers IN lumber. Like. the railroad
and elevator companies, they wanted
harmony in their business. They have
the same horror of competition that the
other conspiratOrs have. 1t disturbs
harmony. They found that the lumber
makers sold directly to consumers at
prices which competed with theirs. 1t
would never do to Jet this go on. So the
association took the makers of lumber
into camp. and bound them not to sell
directly to consumers. lf they did, the
retailers in the association would boy
colt the makers. Then they initiated

out their territory among themselves,
