Opinions of GsrZa's Strength by Resi-
dents Of Mexico.
New YORK, Jan. 10-General john B.
Frisbie, an American, who for thirteen
years has lived in Mexico, says:
This Cara revolution is misnomer
There Is not the ghost Of revolution. There
Is DO disafecrion worthy Of the name
The IeYOiutiOnisls, so-called, are nothing
more than band Of adventurers,
mere cranks. There is not the slight
est popular sympathy with them.
They are animated BY much the same
idea that actuated the crank who attempted
10 blow up Russell Sage. So far they have
hardly succeeded in even getting into
Mexico, and l think 1t would not be stating
the case too strongly to say that within the
present month tue whole band will be
ID durance, either on this side Of the border
or the other. As for Cara, lie is an OBJ
gcure individual, who edited a Spanish
newspaper in san Antonio and who has
only just been heard of at the Mexican
capital I believe that there is as little dis
content in Mexico to-day as in any country,
not excepting our own"
Rafae. VI. Garcia, merchant who has ar
rived from the City OF Mexico, says: 1.-The
present uprising you viii soon see spreading
throughout Mexico. Il has the united sup
port Of the clerical party and many other
small parties which are most constant and
bitter enemies Of President DiaZ. DiaZ
from the beginning of bis career
has appeased the cleTicas. That the
DiaZ Government fears the trouble
msssing Of troops on the frontier and at the
capital The rev0luti0nists can buy as
many guns aud as much powder as they
want along the frontier"

SUNDAY RECREATION.
A Great ThrOng of Visitors al
Golden Gate Park.

Golden Gate Park drew about 10000
people from the city yesterday. The burst
of sunshine which made the day the first
genial one out of doors this year had its in
tluence in sending the tide toward the park.
1t was not q carriage day. The masses were
on foot. Even the bicyclists were few.
Through every gate by 1 o'clock crowds
were passing, and when the band played its
opening march every seat in front was occu-
pied, while another great throng filled all
the contiguous walks.
The leafy promenades were still charged
with moisture, and though the air was
warm, the sense OF prevailing dampneSs in
the park was too strong TO tempt people to
linger very long in any one place. Every
body was, therefore, in motion. Every
time the band finished a number there was
a disposition to give the new cOmerS a
chance to get seat. The men wore their
oyercoats and the ladies all came out in
snug winter wear.
The other features OF the park were not
neglected. The deer and buffalo parks
attracted a great many people. The con-
servatOry was thronged, and the attr actions
in the children'S corner proved as irresist-
ible as ever to the little ones.

and the supporters Of the Diaz Govern
ment Affairs reached a crisis Thursday
when the election of a Presidente Of the
town was held. Rafael Ancheles, who has
twice he'd the Office, was elected by a few
votes. Ancheles was distasteful to the op-
position on account Of his efforts to inaugur-
ate reform, and threats were openly made
against his life
About o'clock In the afternoon a mob
OF over 100 men suddenly surrounded the
city building and opened fire.
Ancheles and his Secretary, NJ. D5valas,
were instantly killed.
The mob took possession Of the town
after hard fight. During the battle three

EIGHT WIVES.

Remarkable Matrim nial Experience OF
Bigamist McGaw.
The eighth wife of Bigamist c. v Nc
Cav, who is now in jail, has appeared, says
Louisville special to the GlObe-DemQcrat
Sheriff Bell received letter from her, and
n truly pathetic story is told. The writer
gives her name as Mrs. Zella GlaZier, the
first wife of Byr on 3. Glazier alias McGaw
They were married at Uniontown, Pa,
about twelve years ago, and have two
pretty little daughters, the pictures Of
whom were sent to the prisoner. For
several years they lived happily. Then
GlaZier, or McGaw, concluded to move
TO Cincinnati, where he had obtained
O situation as telegraph operator.
Soon afterward he lost it, and taking what
money he could raise he deserted his wife
and little children, leaving them penniless.
Going to Nebraska he married, left his wife
and then went to Illinois, where he again
entered the married state. In MassRchu-
setts hc took two wives, and two more in
Pennsylvania. One day his two children
saw him in the latter State and ran up to
kiss him and welcome him home McGaw,
however, pushed them away, telling them
they we're mistaken; that his two children
were drowned in the Johnstown flood
This was the last they saw of him. Coming
to Kentucky, he married the daughter of a
farmer named Marion, living near Shep-
herdsviIle. This last marriage got him into
trouble and landed him in the Louisville

Proposition to Change the System Of Com

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-An effort viii
be made by a numb Of Democratic Repre-
sentatives TO have the Appropriations Com
mittee recommend that the fee system in
Federal Offices be abolished as far as can be
done A number OF Congressman, espe-
cially in the Southern States urge that the
fee system results in much hardship to the
people In their States through Deputy Mar
shals and other court officers straining the
laws for the purpose Of making cases In the
courts. thereby increasing The emoluments
of tie officers. 1t IS urged that tie Govern
ment would really save a great deal Of
money by paying salaries to employees nee
essaTy in fee Offices and requiring all fees
to be TUNED into the United States Treas
ugy. Vigorous opposition, however, is eX-
pected to this reform, and the ApprOnria-
tiOns Committee has not yet got to work,
but 1t is uncertain what Will be the out

CHILEAN FEELING.
Minister Egan's Action With Regard to the
Refugees Criticized


Refugees Criticized
New YORK, Jan. 10.-A Herald's VAL
paraiso special says: There is a great deal
Of talk about Minister Egan's action in
escorting the three BalmRcedst refugees
to Valparaiso; but the severe criticism
is disarmed by the knowledge that lie did
so with the tacit approval of the new Ad-
mjnistration. The press discusses the sub
ject In a calm spirit While in no wise con-
dcmning Fgan, it asserts that the
United States must assume the re-
sponsiblity if he loses the respect
Of the bubble In escOrtinE such characters as
these refugees, for his doing so degr8des
him to the level Of a policeman. Then re-
calling the wel-establiShed fact that Egan
had done exactly the same thing for many
prominent Congressionalsts in their hour
OF peril, the Press goes on 10 say:
There Is no comparison between caring
for men like Pedro MOntt, Augustin Ed
wards and others of their standing who
were on the side of liberty and order, and
protecting these refugees VINO are known
outside Of their career as Balma-
ceda's coadJutoTs to be men

SLOW WORK.
Another Quiet Week Predicted in Both
Branches Of CONGRESS.

Another Quiet Week Predicted IN Both
Branches Of Congress
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The Fifty-second
Congress is now in its second month Of ex-
istence, yet it has not materially advanced
any legislation, nor is the present week
likely TO work any change in this particu-
lar The Senate is waiting on the House,
where appropriation bills must originate,
and in the absence of rules comforting the
necessary authority the House committees
are unable to report measures. On the cal
endars Of tile Senate there IS nothing OF gen.
eral interest and little prospects Of reports
coming from the committee at an early day
in the week, so that beyond listening 10
speeches and considering nominations In
executive session there will be little for tue
Senate to do. The House has no programme
Of business for the week. 1t is still embarked
on the seat of general parliamentary practice,
and until code rules are framed the course
of proceedings depend upon the conditions
arising from day TO day. The committees
have as yet done nothing more than effect
OIganiZ tlOn, SO it Is unlikely that any
measure will be on the House calendar for
action before next week. Under a tenn
porary order the House made TO facilitate
business prior to the adoption Of full set
OF rules Monday will be devoted to the IN
PRODUCTION of bills under the call of States.
There Is some opposition 10 the allowance
OF clerks TO the smaller committees which
may lead to prolonged debate on the neces-
sity for economy in expenditures.
Mr. BlOunt, Chairman of the Foreign Az
tairs Committee. has moved n rec0nsidera-
tiOn Of the vote by which the House re-
fused concurrence in the Senate resolution

ply vessel for the relief of Russian sufferers

deayor during the week TO have the House
