BARILLAS AND BARRIOS.

1t Is Not Believed Here That They Are
Enemies.
The news that Lien fiesta has been elected
President Of the Republic of Guatemala, to
succeed Barillas, and that the younger
Barrios is in San Salvadorian jail. is not
generally believed in this city. notwitlistand-
ing the advices which reached here Tues
day by the steamer City of Panama.
As the story goes Barillas, who during
his term Of Office amassed an enorm Gus
fortune in land and money, is making
strenuous efforts to fly the country and is
in mortal fear Of young Barrios.
John Craig, Assistant Secretary OF the
California Worlds Fair Commission, who
spent long time In Guatemala and is
largely familiar with affairs in that country,
is inclined to make light of the news
80 far as / have any chance to know"
said MIR. Craig. "Barilas and Barrios have
always been the best of friends. The young
man Is, you know, nephew of the elder
BarriOS. who was aSsassinated in 1884,
while serving as President of Guatemala.
Barillas was then Second Niee-President.
and Barrundla, at;erward killed aboard the
Acapulco, was Minister of War. The First
Nice-President fled the country. Barrundia
at once, through his supposed popularity
with the army. sought TO seize the reins of
government, but was defeated by Barillas.

his plantations. WAS sent for bv Nine.
Barrios, and gathering together 500 men,
whom he armed as best he could. he marched
at once 10 the city of Guatemala The army
went over to him in body. and Barrundia
managed to escape to Mexico, where he ell
deavored to create revolution in his native
country. His subsequent killing. and the
recall of Minister Miner in consequence, is
still fresh in the minds Of the public.
"Now my reason for not believing the
story referred to is that the younger Barrios
and Barillas have always been friends and
when the latter left here some time ago he
expressed the most kindly feelings toward
Barillas.
80 far as Barillas is concerned 1t is safe
TO assume that if he is seeking to escape
it is to avoid punishment for his acts while
in Office. He has in the short time he has
been President accumulated a fortune
valued Mt about SIG, coo, 900, and most of it
has been violently wrested from the people.
An unfriendly successor, of course. would
at once pounce down upon him, and that is
probably his real reason for attempting TO

On September n, 1889, r. w. Clifford, E.

Trading Company entered into an agree

to the service of the corporation and be the
general superintendent at the islands His
family was TO join him there. His monthly

agreed to devote his time and attention to

compensation to be fixed after October. 1890.
Clifford, it appears, went to the islands on
October IL, 1889, and until August II, 1891,
claims to have earnestly performed all the
duties required OF him. 50 that from and

TRIED AS A CRIME.
Prosecution of Dee All Tom for Manu-
featuring Opium.

Oplums
To-day the first case of criminal prosecu-
ton in the United States against Chinese
for the illicit manufacture Of opium will be
heard in the United States District Court
before q jury. Considerable Importance is
attached TO the hearing by the Government,
as upon its success depends largely its en-
foTcement Of the laws governing the do
nestle manufacture Of the drug.
The internal revenue laws provide that
no person not citizen of the United States
may manufacture opium within the limits
of this country and Alaska, and as Chinese
are very seldom citizens. they are as class
excluded from such privileges. So. when
ever Chinese person is found manufactur-
ing opium he and his parapherBalia and
stock on hand are taken into custody. In
the past the Government has not resorted to
the prosecution OF the manufacturer, but
has been satisfied with the confscation Of
the property. To put further check on the
Illicit manufacture among Chinese of the
drug the Government decided to prosecute
criminally the next Chinese who might
happen TO cook at an hour so unreasonable
and unlueky that he be caught. This un-
lucky Chinaman is Dee All Tom.
Dee All Tom was arrested over a year
ago by Special Agent Eldridge and Inspec-
tor Thomas at IL Washington alley, while
he was engaged in reducing yen shee" to
smoking opium. "Yen shee" Is the scrap
ings Of pipes after being smoked. and the
product in opium is of poor sort. called
seconds" They were boiling it at the time
of the visit, and said they had made about
80 pounds the month previous. This they
had sold at SO 90 a pound after being boiled.
The manufacture was carried on under the
name OF Sui Fat, and as Dee An Tom was
the only one who persisted in saying he was
part of the firm he was arrested.
The seizure amounted to 166 fiye-tael
boxes of imported opium. 26 boxes of do
mestic drug, 100 pounds of domestic smok-
ing opium in 10 jars, 175 pounds of opium-pipe
scrapings contained in - oil cans, brass
kettles and one ladle. The value of the
whole was placed at $500 by Special Agent
Eldridge

Recent Reports Show That the Desert
Lake Is Not Rising.
Reports received yesterday at Southern
Pacific headquarters from Manager Durdrow
Of the salt works at Salton show that there
is no water coming into the desert lake
from the Colorado River. or from any other
source.
Assistant General Manager Curtis of the
Southern Pacific Comnany in speaking of
the matter yesterday said: "There is no,
the least danger of reptiti0n of last
winters trouble at Salton. At Yuma the
water Is now IA feet inches lower than
last year at this time. and there Is not even
a remote possibility of disastrous over
flow this season. There is always little
water in this depression during the winter
months and last year the heavy storms in
Eastern Arizona caused an unusual amount
to gather. But even in the event of an
overflow there would be no suspension OF
traffic. 1t would be very easy construc-
ton problem to get around the flooded
district. We have no fear, however, OF
having to do any building on account Of an
overflow. There is at present about four
or five inches OF water in the depression"

Morgan Says That All the wheelmeu
Went East Last Monday.
There is no truth in the published state
ment that MesSrs. Eek and Morgan, the
managers of the recent bicycle tournament
at the Pavilion, have gone East leaving the
bicyele-riders stranded in this city, In debt
and without money. On the contrary. every
one of the cyclists left for the East last Mon
day, their hotel bills were all paid and they
departed with clean bill of health.
When Eek left the city suddenly last week
he owed the Russ House S33 and what
was Morgan's surprise when he wanted
to return to home with the cyclists to find
the hotel people declined 10 let him take
away his baggage until he had paid Eck's
liabilities. Morgan having paid his own bill
aud obtained a receipt in full, naturally de-
clined to discharge his partners personal
obligations. Attorney Rothschild has there
fore brought suit against 5. III. Seymour,
the owner If the hotel, for a repleyin of
Morgan's goods and damages for detention.
