They Enter Into a Conspiracy to Over
throw President Gonzalez.
BUENos AYREs.-The recent coup
d'etat in Paraguay ended peacefully.
Not a shot was fired. Generals Egus-
guida, Caballero and Escobar, each Of
whom is a candidate for the Presidency,
entered into conspiracy with the Min
lister of War to overthrow President Con-
zalez. When the President, accompanied
by the Minister of the Interior and the
Chief of Police, was entering Congress
in Assumption he was suddenly sur
rounded and arrested by armed men,
who compelled him to resign his office.
The Vice President, who is nephew of
General Caballero, at once assumed the
power of President. The object of the
coup d'etat was to destroy the official
candidacy of DIR. Decond, Paraguay's
Minister to Uruguay. A fight for spoils
between the three gentlemen who want
to be President will probably commence
in July during the election of electors.
The Vice-President favors his uncle,
General Caballero, while the Minister OF
War wants General Egusguida to sue
coed and the Chief of Police supports
General Escobar. Direct telegraph wires
from Paraguay have been cut, and COM
munication is interrupted. kilograms
from the border districts say the people
are indifferent to the outcome of the po-
litical movement. Whatever the issue
OF any such affair, the peoples wishes
are never consulted.

THE BLACK PLAGUE IN CHINA

Raging in Canton and Hongkong-It is
Occurred in London.
VANCOUVER, B. C.-The most impor-
tant news brought by the Empress of
China is of the alarming spread of the
virulent plague that first appeared in
Canton at the end OF April. The plague
is similar to the great plague in London
in the sixteenth century, and is carrying
off large numbers of victims. 1t soon
spread to Hongkong, appearing there in
May. 1t is chiefly confined to Chinese,
but two Portuguese have been afflicted.
The plague has paralyzed business to a
large extent, as many leading steamship
lines refuse to take either passengers or
cargo from Hongkong. The symptoms
of the disease are as follows: Without
premonitory warning in the shape OF a
chill there is sudden onset of fever,
rising to los degrees or over. There is
much headache, accompanied by stupor

McKinIey,s Mite Returned.

MAssnLoN, O.-The miners RELIEF
committee of Massillon has returned to
Governor Mckinley the $40 he contrib
uted to their subscription for the RELIEF
OF unemployed miners on May 20, which
he spoke of in his letter of transmission
as his Unite" This is the letter from
the relief committee: Enclosed you
will find $40, your donation to the miners
OF Massillon. They unanimously refuse
to accept mite from the hand that as
sisted in shifting them. Your donation
was solicited because the miners believed
you were at least as much in sympathy
with them as an ordinary, everyday cit
izen, but since you have Invested your
self your true character stands out in
glowing colors, and they abhor your
charity. Your ambition in a political
way, SO far as the miners are concerned,
is sure to be gratified henceforth."

Denver's Cold shoulder.

DENVER, CoL.-Sheriff Burchinell has
decided that no more Coxeyites will be
allowed to enter Denver under penalty
OF arrest and imprisonment for vagrancy.
Until the commonweal movement has
subsidized special deputies will patrol in
coming trains and all public highways
leading into the city, and no one unable
to give a satisfactory account Of himself
will be permitted to pass the boundary
line. The action is made necessary by
the fact that Denver's extreme generos-
ity and hospitality in the past have been
heralded to all commonwealers through
out the Northwest, several thousand oil
whom are headed this way.

CHICAGO, hL.-The excursion agree
ment OF the Western Passenger Associa-
ton was given staggering blow by the
news from st. Louis that the Chicago
and Alton was making rate of 500 for
the round trip between st. Louis and
Denver for the convention of the Home
opathy Society," cut of $3.50 from the
regularly authorized rate. The Missouri
Pacific at once put on the $40 rate, and
the Atchison and Topeka lost no time in
following suit. The other lines also
joined in without loss of time. General
Passenger Agent Charlton of the Chicago
and Alton denied that rates were being
cut by his line, but the St. Louis agents
of the other lines were positive and
unanimous in their charges against that
road. Chairman Caldwell is still hope
full that he will be able to keep the
trouble within bounds, but the prospects
are not bright.

TO MARK THEIR GRAVES.

Monument spoken Of for the vandalia
and Nipsic Sailors.
SAN Francisco, CAL.-There is move
ment on foot at Vallejo to raise by sub
scription fund sufficient to erect q
splendid monument over the graves Of
the sailors OF the wrecked United States
war vessels VandaIia and Nipsic, who
lost their lives in the terrible hurricane
which swept the Bay Of Apia in 1880. 1t
will be remembered that shortly after
that awful disaster in Samoa, which re-
suited in the loss Of so many brave sail
ors, nineteen OF the Vandalia and Nip
sic's dead were brought to this port and
inferred in the cemetery at Vallejo. I'm.
til recently, however, only q plain board
has marked the location OF their graves,
although it has been hoped that some
steps would be taken by the government
10 place monument over the spot,
Friends OF the dead sailors, however,
have hoped in vain. Unfortunately there
were no funds at Mare Island which
could be used for such purpose. Those
who have the plan in charge propose to
solicit subscriptions from residents Of
Vallejo and the navy yard and also from
men aboard different warships, who will
no doubt gladly contribute their mite to-
ward such fitting tribute.

Yale Versus Oxford.

New HAVEN, CoNN.-At recent meet
ing of the undergraduates of Yale it was
decided to send Yale team to compete
with Oxford in athletics. T. H. Sheriff.,
Jr., 'S9, announced that the Oxford au-
thorities had already procured grounds,
and that letter Of invitation was now
on its way to this country. Compared
with Oxford's records, Yale's showing is
better than the Englishmen's. Oxford
stipulates that all the Yale men must
conform to the A. A. A. rules, and in ad-
dition all competitors in the Oxford Y ale
athletic contests must have taken part
in the recent Yale-Harvard and Oxford
Cambridge sports. The contest will be
held on the Queens club ground in Ken
sinpton.

BERLIN.-Referring to a report from

protested against the decision of the
United States to place differential duty
of / cent on sugar imported to the United
States from countries granting bounties
to sugar growers, and that the German
government had threatened reprisals
against American pork, the Nord
Deutsche Zeitung says the report is false
and probably emanates from Americans
interested in the sugar trade and who
are DESTROYS of stirring up American feel
ing for the furtherance OF their own sell
fish designs.

PIerce County Finances.

TACOMA, wAsH.-Inasmuch as the
next county tax levy. to be made in Oc-
tober, cannot be made available for de-
fraying the county election expenses this
fall, the County Commissioners are dis
GUESSING their powers SO far as entering
into the usual contracts for election ex-
penses. The County Prosecuting Attor-
iiey has several times held that the coun-
ty, having reached its legal limit Of
Indebtedness, cannot legally contract
more expense bills. Elections hereto
fore in this county have cost from "a, 900
to $1,000. The present incumbents ex-
pect TO remain in Office should no cleo
ton be held, which is not probable.

Abdul Aziz' Followers.

LoNDoN.-A dispatch to the Standard
from Madrid says: The Spanish Gen.
erals at Melilla and Couta report the
tribesmen in that vicinity are all loyal
to Abdul Aziz. The Spanish Minister
at Tangier says Abdul Aziz has $4,000
faithful soldiers near Fee and is supported
by the Ministers and the Court and the
coast tribes. General Campos, the COM
mander of the Spanish forces in Mo-
rocco, believes Abdul Aziz will easily es-
tablish his authority if he has the moral
support of the European powers.

how hard times have reduced the cost
