horse and buggy for drive. AS they
came to the st. Paul and Duluth track,
Dellwood station, train was backing

VALPARAISO. Ang. S.-A correspond

Governor Costa of the province Of
Buenos Ayres. is still shut up in the
city of La Plata, and has little chance
of escape. His forces are demoralized.
and it is believed that the siege will
end within few hours with the evacu-
alton of the city by the provincial gov
ernor's troops.
Bosch, member of the chamber OF
deputies, asked the cabinet to send q
warship to La Plata to aid Governor
Costa in defending the city, but the re-
quest was not granted. Governor Costa
suffered the humiliation of having the
government directly refuse to aid him.
Members of the cabinet informed his
representatives that the national gov
ernment would maintain a strict neu-
trality between the combatants in the
disturbed provinces.

The Winnebsgo Indians that were

THE PoPULlsT SCHEME.

Their Proposition For Governments
Control OF Railroads Given Out.
CHICAGO, Aug. s.-Since the close OF
the silver convention George T. WASH
burn Of Boston, Mass, chairman of the
Eastern division, national committee
Peoples party. and Colonel A. C. Fisk
of Denver, COL, president or the Pan
American Bimetallic association. to-
gether with other prominent silverites
have been in daily consultation with
leading government officials, bankers,
capitalists and railroad men of the
West, proposing gigantic railway
scheme of government ownership, which
they think will afford financial relief to
the country and make at once an issue
of two Of the
Pet Planks of Their Platform.
The plan proposed is that the national
government shall issue bonds for all
legal and just Indebtedness, being gov
erned by the came tenure and contract
which now exist The amount 10 esti-
mated to be about two-thirds Of the
value OF the railroads, and an issuance
of legal tender treasury notes or silver
certificates for the remaining one-third.
Objection was raised to the Populists'
plan to pay one-third in treasusy notes,
which would greatly increase the price
| of products in the country; but it was
claimed that even though the full
amount of one third should be issued,
that 65, 00O, 600 of people could better
absorb $4,000, 600, 600 of treasury notes
| now than 25,o00,00o Of people did in
| 1867, and that this issuance of treasury
notes would afford
Immediate Financial Relief
and inaugurs;e period of prosperity
| unparalleled in the history of the world.
But the Populists do not propose that
the government shall buy all the rail
roads at once, but do so gradually, sc
that the shock would not be felt in the
money market. Beginning with the
Western roads they would be taken in
the order Of their application, some be
ing ready now, 1t is claimed that the
plan would not antagonize existing rail
way interests, and that il the govern
ment owned all the railroads west oi
the Mississippi river. instead Of being
competitors to the Eastern roads they
would be distributive. and could b.
used by the government to
Move the Crops at Small Cost.
Also that uninabited sections could b.
colonized, the low fares being an induce
ment to immigration and in this wa.
relieve the cities from their presen
congested state and provide an addi
tional market for the manufacture,
products of the people who remain
and that as much as commission onl,
be needed in each state, the saving IL
high salaries would be enormous. Mr.
Washburn will leave for Washington q
once to put the matter before congres
and to secure the support of Western
and Southern congressman,

Directors Discussing the Advisability
of Extending the Time.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The directors of
the worlds fair are considering the ad-
Visibility of running the most attractive
departments for another year. The de-
partments mentioned are those Of fine
arts and horticulture, with probably
some others. Ithas been suggested that
steps be taken toward the continuance
OF the exposition for another year. II
was urged that six months, with Its
varying weather and other obstacles,
was too short time to accommodate all
who wanted to see the display. Sc
strong was the argument for an 1894 fair
that the exposition officials gave the
proposition serious consideration. Moth
ing definite, however, has as yet beer
done In the matter, nor will there until
President Higginbotham returns to the
city.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. S.--All efforts to
bring the Southeastern Kansas strike
to an end have proven fruitless, for the
reason that the operators do not pro-
