Senior Cara, who is attracting consider.
able attention from the Government of
Mexico and the United States troops sta
toned in Texas, through his efforts to create
President Diaz and to recruit his small
band from among the Mexicans on both sides
of the Rio Grande, is man of more than
ordinarily interesting personality. Born in
Matamoras, Mexico, he began life there in
printing Office. From here he removed to
Brownsville, Texas, where he attended the
public schools. Later he went to the Uni
versity Of Mexico, and after his graduation
from that institution, entered the Mexican
army, from which he was dismissed for
gross misconduct, and was compelled to flee
the country to escape further punishment
He is reputed to be desperate man, and has
been involved in several quarrels which
ended in assassinations, the most notable OF
which was the killing of General Martinez,
at Laredo.
Cara is about forty years old, and speaks
English well. He at one time connected
with the Mexican Consulate at st. Louis,
Mo-. and is fully as much at home on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande as he is Oh tue
Mexican soil. About six months ago he
gathered little band of political refugees
and discontents about him and began his
revolutionary operations, which the Mexican
officials assert had only robbery and pillage
for their object. The Mexican Government
offered a heavy reward for Garza's capture,
and also had in its possession list of names
OF prominent persons who are said to be &C
tive sympathizers Of his movement.

Injured American Sailors Demand
$1,000 of the Chileans.

F. Aueyne Orr, an attorney of San Fran
cisco, has sent to the State Department at
Washington tho claims Of the sailors of the
cruiser Baltimore who were crippled or
otherwise injured by the Chileans at
Valparaiso. The claims are accompa MED
by affidavits which rehearss the stories
told by the sailors at their examination at
Mare Island. They amount to the total Of
81, 3O5, 900. John Hamilton leads the list with
demand for $50 900 for stab wounds in the
bullock and right groin. He was frequently
stabbed by the police, and claims that there Is
still a portion Of a broken dagger in his body.
jeremiah Anderson, coalheaver, also wants
$15O, 600 for two wounds in the back, and a
bayonet wound in the lung. John Mcbride.
and William Lacey claim 500, GOO
each for bad wounds. Three others
demand SIS 600 each, and others sums ranging
from $50, 600 to $50, 900.
Mr.. Orr explains the enormous sums de-
manded by these men. He says: Suppose
the Cnileans give Mr.. Blaine lump sum of
81, OOO, 900. Then these wounded sailors will
come in for something handsome, and we
don't want the coin to go back to Chile.
There is no use of false modesty when you
make a claim on any Government"

A FREE COINAGE BILL,
A Favorable Report Made by the
House Comm ittee.

A Favorable Report Made by the
House Comm ittee.
% The House Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, by vote of eight to five, or
dered favorable report on the Bland Free
Coinage Bill Chairman Bland has made
the following statement regarding the meas
ure:
at contemplates the converting of ell our
silver money, silver certificates and Treasury
notes issued on bullion and gold certificates
into coin notes redeemable in coin, thus con-
vertin@ our paper into bimetal paper, instead
of keeping up the distinction between gold
and silver in our paper issues. This con-
forms to the idea of coming both metals on
an equality. gold and silver free. The coin
notes are redeemable in coin, and, of course,
in whatever coin it may be most convenient
for the Government to redeem them IN.
The depositors of gold and silver bullion
have the privilege OF waiting until their bull
lion is coined, and having the coin re-
turned to them, or they may deposit
the bullion and receive notes at the coin
value of the bullion deposited. The bullion
then becomes the property of the Govern
ment and is coined as fast as may be neces-
sary for the redemption Of any notes pre-
scented for redemption. 1t obviates the ex-
pense of coming all the bullion at the time it
is deposited. The people seem to be desi-
rOuS of using paper money instead OF coin
itself-to prefer paper to coin, and for that
reason coin notes may be issued and bullion
held for coinage to be coined only when
necessary for redeeming notes. A man
holding a coin note will not know whether it
is gold note or a silver note, for if he de-
posts gold bullion or gold coin he gets coin
note, and If he deposits silver bullion or
silver coin he gets the same kind of a coin
note. 1t abolishes the present distinction
between our coin notes. Ny bill also differs
from any other bill that has been introduced,
in providing that when France may resume
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
her ratio of 1515 to /, and the President
makes proclamation to that effect, that
ratio shall then become our legal ratio and
our coin shall conform to it. We wish to
retain our silver money as we'll as our gold
coin, hence there is a very good reason why
our ratio and that of European countries
should be the same"

Thunder Storms to Order.

Professor Elihu Thomson, the Lynn
tMass.) electrician, claims to have discovered
the knack of making lightning.
The invention is at present Of more scien-
tific than practical interest although there
will be plenty of practical uses for it
eventually. The Professor has succeeded
by very simple means in securing ex-
tremely high potential discharges. In an
arc electric lamp the carbons are perhaps
three-eighths of an inch apart and in a search
light little further. The flame when they
are separated acts as conductor In Prof.
Thomson's new machine, however, the dis
lance is eight inches, and no flame can leap so
far The result is that torrents of sparks are
thrown off without interruption, and with re-
ports like the rattle OF Gatling gun or a
case of crackers. The strength Of the dis
charge seems to be limited only by the size
of the machine. 1t has been suggested to
the Professor that he form partnership
with Dryenforth, and that the firm furnish
thunder storms to order.

ence during the war of 1912. He witnessed
the exodus from Busro Prairie to es-
cape the knives and tomahawks Of the Indi-
ans. The people were sheltered and cared
for at South Union until the battle of Tip
pecanoe, when most of them returned to
their Indian homes. Harvey Fades rose in
the society from day laborer to the elder
ship. He published an elaborate exposition
of Shaker theology, which has been widely
read. For a while he lived at Union Village
Ohio, but afterward returned to South
