The Mexican Revolution.

VAONl EN- L : III A1COs dus Hs"
The Mexican Government,
through the efforts Of General
Bernardo Refs, Governor of the
State of Neuvo Leon, has secured
evidence duplicating two hundred
prominent merchants in the State
of Tamaulipas and the Texas
frontier, in the present revolutions
ary movement. This evidence is
in the nature of a secret ~revolu-
tionary pronuociamento distribu-
ted only among those believed to
be in Sympathy with the ause,
The following is a translation OF
the pronunciamentc: THE plan
of the revolution is conceived for
the purpose of overcoming the
despotisln and tyranny Of Presi.
dent Diez, and returning the
country TO IFS constitutional order
We, the following undersigned
Mexican citizens, in full exercise
of our rights and making use #
the national laws conceded to us
to govern ourselves ard in search
of means for securing happiness,
consider hat the people at all
times have the right to revoke the
power of their sovereign, when
the executive converts it into
tyranny and uses it to his personal
advantage, and that General Diaz
and Cabinet exercise an arbitrary
lower, taking for law their own
voluntary caprices, in order to
satisfy their own illegitimate ans
billions and personal vengeance,
exceeding in cruelty the moet~ter>
rible beasts. They exercise inor-
dinate powers; they have demon
allied the nation with their system
CT terrorism, placing the common
people under the most terrible
yoke, taking away their principle
rights-the right of personal secur~
ity. the right of individual
liberty, and the right of prose
perity. For the above reasons
we have agreed to sustain the plan
of revolution to overthrow the
power of Gen. Diaz and re estabs
fish the Constitution of 1859 in
the country; to disown Diaz as
President of the United States of
Mexico, and we pronounce him a
traitor to his country and the con-
stitution he swore to guard. We
denounce the Secretary of States
and Governors who will be tried
ard punished according to the
charges which may be placed
against them. Military chiefs and
civil authorities of whatever class
that take up arms against our plans
will be considered traitors to their
country and punished accordingly.
From the publication and circula-
ton Ct this plan the Mexican nas
tion is declared to be in a state OF
seige, and for the proper execution
Of this siege the Mexican people
are called to arms, to be called the
Constitutional Army and its
motto shall be the Constitution of
1857. and national integrity. At
the taking of possession of the capi-
tai, CARA will call d general election
of the country for a Constitutional
Convention to meet in the City
of Mexico four months after the
capture of the capital to revise the
Constitution Of 1857, making such
reforms and amendments as the
may consider proper, always keeps
ing in mind the liberal system q
the Federal Democracy.

THE

The General Assembly of N.
G. convened in Raleigh yesterday
It has a Democratic majority in both
branches, ard its personnel is COM
plimented as being, perhaps, the
braine1t and most imposing body OF
men that have characterized a Gen
eral Assembly of our State for many
years.
This being true-and we doubt it
not, the people have the more reason
to expect a wise policy of action and
undallying business energy in carry
ing it out The people have the
more reason to expect no unnecessary
delay in getting down to
work and, hat mere by-plays
and windy resolutions and bills
Of uneven bearing will find nc
place or tolerance before that body:
The people have the more reason to
expect that the session will be brief,
business-like and benign. Brief, be-
cause there is no need for any extern
sive new legislation: business-like in
comprehending and addressing it
self to the duties incumbent upon
il; and benign in sparing the tax
payers of the State the expense of q
needlessly long session.
If the body would early adopt 6
more concise code of rules than have
generally been adopted, enforce them
with impartial sagacity, repeal some
few statutes that are detrimental,in
stead of beneficial, to our State-the
law against labor agents, for in
stance, pass the necessary appropri.
alton bills and then adjourn, il
would render itself the most bene-
fcent and popular Legislature the
State has known for years.
This desirable course can be best
obtained and SUBSCRIBED IN the selec.
tion Of the several committees: and
these should be reduced to the
smallest number possible-not II
the number Of membership, but il
the number of the committed
themselves. And chief among thes.
is the appropriation committee. w,
ay committee advisedly-in the sin
gnlar UNDERGRADUATES the Legisla
ture should not distribute the ap
, preparation bills among a dozel
committees, allowing each commit
Tee togo for all the money in sigh
without regard either to the princi
pie of economy or the wants o
other departments. 1t should leav
the subject of appropriations entirel.
in the hands Of ole committee
which should be abe to cut the ap
preparation garment according t
the Treasury cloth and do it intelli
J gently.
The very reason for having an ap
preparation committee at all i
that the whole subject of appropria
lions may be considered by a body Q
: Intelligent men, who shall give tia
lsubject careful study, with power

DENVER, Col. Jan. 2.-The in-
dications are that the Colorado
legislature will not organize with
out the usual row. The Repub-
licans have a small majority in
the house, but the popuIists and
Democrats have been hustling and
claim to night that they will orr
ganize the body when it is called
to order Wednesday noon They
claim to have secured the pledges
of two Republicans to aid them
Great interest. however, will CEN
ire on organization ofthe senate.
OF the thirty eight members, fiji
teen are Republicans, fifteen are
populist and eight Democrats, the
latter holding the ba 'ance of power,
The probability is there will be
three separate caucuses to.morrow
afternoon and evening, and a hot
time in the dignifed body from
the moment it meets Wednesday
at noon.

Clapp & Company's weekly letter of
June 23d, says:
That the undeveloped problems of
humanity appeal powerfully to all
constructive instincts, and the fact
that vessels carrying the British flag
cleared in 1892 from the United States
ports a tonnage four times as great as
that Of American vessels on all our
rivers, lakes and harbors, suggest i'm
peratiye demand tor revival of our
American merchant marine.
That the South appears gridironed
with railroads, that start nowhere and
end nowhere, and unless constructive,
concentrating and consolidating pro,
cesses can go on, they may possibly go
into liquidation and prove a blanket
on all efforts to reinstate finances
That it is too early for estimates of
the cotton crop to be of value, but if
The present crop estimate of 7,l50, 00G
bales is verified, 8 cent cotton may
seem cheap in October.
That the bull argument of a 10 per
cent shortage i'll the worlds crop of
wheat may have sufficient merit to off
set financial pressure on the carriers
of large stocks in sight i'll America,
and wheat may follow the course Of
cotton, which was apparently i'll Il
similar position about year ago.

BLACK smallpox.

Helena, Mont, Special, July 1G.-A
disease over which the doctors are in
diSputc has ragged with considerable
violence in the smaller town of Ana
cOnda III this state for the last ten
weeks. 1t is alternately called black
smallpox and black measles. The first
case appeared about May /, and at
present there are sixty patients in
various pest houses, and the yellow flag
is flying over eighteen buildings. For
tunately there has been small pro
portion of deaths. The spread of the
epidemic was greatly facilitated by
the fact that Interpolation of the town
is composed almost entirely of men
working III Smclters, who crowd board
ing houses and cheap hotels An eX-
pert has just arrived from New York
to assist the local physicians, and with
rigid regulations and compulsory vac
clnatiOn it is hoped the further spread
of the plague may be ayerled. There
have been but few isolated cases in
Butte, and the authorizes there are
taking vigorous measures to prevent
the spread of this disease Where the
first case came from is a mystery.

Lake business Good.

DEPUTY Port Collector Shields has
prepared his report Of the business OF
Superior harbOr for June and il makes
Il very good showing considering the
lowness of the lake freight rates. The
report shows a general increase OF
business over the same month Of last
year. 1t is as follows:
The arrivals and clearances for June
1898 were 800; last year the number
was 2S3. The tonnage this year was
$50, GSl and last year 3337 go. In 1S9-
the tons Of coal received in June We're
l76, ii5; this year, l56, 81 tons. There
were - cargocs of merchandise receiv
ed last month and last year the June
receipts were %. Cement received last
month was 800 barrels, nearly equal
to the number last year. Fire brick re
ceived last month WAS 1000 and rail
road ties Job.
The wheat shipments last month
were ST. ,372 bushels against ,l6S, 00C
last year. The flour shipments show Il
falling off last month. There were
i24 100 barrels, and June last year 62i,
600.
In June 1892 there were no ship
mentS of iron, while this year 1926
tons were shipped. The copper ship.
mentS last month were $50 tons, and
l $50 last year. Other grain shipments
last month were 1895 bushels, While
in June of last year there were no ship
mentS under this head.
The shipments Of lumber last yeal
were 3,6U0, 900, last month 5000, 600 #.
Last month there were IL foreign ar
rivals, with Il tonnage of l2.2lS. The
foreign shipments OF wheat were $3.50,

Z" Where Are We .ltfo

In the squabble now going on be
tween the city and Capt. Barker, and
the city and the bOndSmen of the var
iOus aflicials, it is barely possible that
we may find out where we are at.
That the affairs Of this city have been
run at loose ends for the past few
years there IS no doubt. At one time,
and only few weeks since, our school
fund amounting to nearly S25O,000,
was distributed about the city banks
and there was not a dollars worth Of
bond put up as security for its safe
keeping, and we believe that the treas
urer of the school fund has not yet
executed his bond in any sum what
ever. 1t was largely because Of the
fact that Mr.. Tubbs, secretary of the
school board, insisted upon having the
banks at least put up security for the
money they held, that he was defeated
for reelection for clerk. Certain mem
bers of the school board who wished
to have things run i'll a loose manner,
thought Mr.. Tubbs was 'meddling
with that which did not concern him, :"
and SO he had to be OuSted If the
business of the city is not run on true
business principles, we will soon hear
something drop which Will aStoniSh
everybody and be more than q nine
days wonder.

Connolly Indicted.

The grand jury of Lake County,
Minnesota, last "Wednesday returned
four indictments against Father Con
nelly, the Catholic priest of Two IIar-
hors, who is charged with raping Miss
Lena Sutherland, an Is year old girl,
on May 10Th.
Two of the indictments are for rape
on separate occasions, one for abduc-
ton and one for Indecent assault. 1t is
alleged that the priest induced the
girl to come to his house, drugged and
then assaulted her. The defense does
not deny criminal intimacy but sets
up that it was with the girls CON
sent That the offensc was often re-
Peated and that there was money
consideration. Father Connellys sis
ter who was his housekecper, when the
alleged rape took place is also indicted
Tor conspiracy i'll the abduction. The
defense will move for Il change of

Drowned En Superior Bay.

Robert W Villains, a deck hand on
Capt. Barker's dredge Menomonie, at
work deepening the channel of the old
entry between Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin points, was drowned last Satur-
day afternoon about o'clock.
\ raft of logs was coming through
from the lake and it was necessary to
move the dredge to allow them to pass.
1t was Williams duty to place IL buoy
in order to tell where they had left off
dredging. lie was proceeding to do
this from the forward end of the
dredge, which was pointed toward the
lake. The buoy consisted Of Sinker
and rope enough to reach the surface
of the water to which is fastened Il
block of wood. In throwing this out
he lost his balance and fell. y heavy
current was flowing i'll from the lake,
which carried Williams under the
dredge He was not seen again alive.
The dredge was quickly taken from
the fatal spot and search commenced
for the body, which was found within
twenty feet Of the place where he
went down, two and one half hours af-
ter the accident.
Robert Williams was 81 years Old
and unmarried lie has three brothers
living i'll Duluth-David, Alexander
and William. One Of them was en-
gineer of the dredge and was on board
at the time.

Tortured Il oman.

HELENA, Mont, Special, July To-
The folly of drawing money out of
safe banks and putting it in the house
or carrying it about ON the person is
we'll illustrated III the mining town Of
Granite, where a stampede recently
closed one local bank Having got
their savings i'll hand, many made no
better use of it than to squandcr it,
One with nearly $500 placed it temper
arily in possession of a woman atGran-
tie for safe keeping. Subsequently
calling for 1t, the woman denied all
knowledge of it. EXasperated, the
owner of the money with several pals
proceeded to force the woman, using
barbaric methods to compel restitu-
ton. Ter hands We're tied and her
face slashed and disligured, and as a
final resort coal oil was poured upon
her and the threat of burning her alive
was about to he carried out. Then the
woman weakened, diyulged the hiding
place of the money, and recovery WAS
effected.

bers We're absent, and the program was
completed. The meeting of the con
yention, however, was fixed for Octo-
Der 10, the first session to be held at
1880 a m.
1t is expected that Superior viii join
with Duluth i'll entertaining the dele
gates and a united effort will be made
TO duly impress them with the many
advantages of the head OF the lake. y
further meeting of the executive com
mittee, to complete the arrangements,
will be held next Monday at > O'Clock

SN.inIicr and Suicide

Helena, Mont, July 10 Several
weeks ago the state was excited by the
mysterious disappearance Of f. b.
ODDS, state senator, and one of the best
known mining men of the State. Pre-
viously to his disappearance ODDS had
borne an excellent reputation rs bus
mess man, and there was much surprise
when it developed after his disappear
ance that he had swindled persons to
the amount of 800 600. To-day while
two boys We're fishing at Boxeman they
found the body of a man in the Boul-
der river. There was a bullet hole in
his heart and a revolver lay alongside
the body, which was badly decomposed.
Closer investigation proved conclusive
ly that the dead body was that of the
missing state senator.

The Crelnatory Again.

At the council meeting Tuesday
evening the board of public works re
ported that they could find no dump
ing grounds that were not open to
grave objections and recommended
that the city take steps to build an
economical crematOry. This an
nouncement brought out several
speeches on this much mooted question,
after all which it WAS moved by AID.
Bailey, that the board of public
works become hereby authorized to
construct 4 garbage crematory of SUIT
able capacity to consume the garbage
OF the city and that the mayor appoint
Il committee of the members of the
council to select a suitable site for
such crcmatory and report to the com
Gil" The matter was carried.
1t is quite evident that there will
be no rest given until the crematory
scheme has had a trial. After we
have bought crem&tory, used it once
OF twice and thrown it away, the pro
ject VIII be dropped for good.
