RULES FOR TEXARKANIANs.

To the merchants: Boom your
city, and by so doing both advertise
your goods and pave the way to
fortune.
To the lawyers: Plead your client
into or out of jail, as the exigencies
of the case demand. Use Black
stones knowledge and Cicero's elo-
quence to enforce your argument,
but do not neglect to put in a plea
for your town.
To the doctors: Ye deciples of
'Esculapius, combine the learning
of the ancients with the craft and
science of the moderns in healing
your patient, but do not, l abjure|
you, forget to "doctor up the rep
utation of your community,
To the city fathers: Most potent,
grave and reverend seigniors,
hear We the smoothe and subtitle
voice of the seeker after franchises,
and grant them when the city's
good demands it or benefits there
from will accrue to the people of
your town, but turn We your deft
ear to the moss-back and calamity
howler-harken not to his voice.
Levy taxes forpubhc improvements,
issue bonds upon which to raise
sheckels and apply the same to
street paYements and other goodly
purposes. Prepare ye club of
healthy size, and when the prophet
of municipal evil is heard to pro-
claim aloud that the end of your
city is not far of, seek ye the soft
spot on the idiots head-piece and
apply the aforesaid club where it
will do the most good.
To the preachers we have moth
ing to say, for their duty is ever
well done and their pay small, though
remuneration for their labors is
not of this world, and their flocks
prefer to lay up treasure for them
where the gold will not rust.
But to the property owner we
have yet word: Put a fair mar
ket value on your lots and praise mp
the firm foundation of your build
ings, but confuse not the fact that
your lots, however numerous, are
in Texarkana and not Texarkana
in them. Then give praise to your
city also, and that, too, in meas
ure fitting to the size and impolt t.
ance of the subject in hand. Declare
the worth and desirabihty of your
property in bold voice, but when
you descant upon the resources of
your city and the virtues of her
people expand your lungs, open
wide your mouth and shout aloud.

PEIXOTO CUTS PORTUGAL
BRAZIL sUsPENDs RELATIONS WITH
THE LITTLE EUROPEAN POWER.
The Affair the Outgrowth of the Ac-
tiOn of the Portuguese Men-Of-War
in HarbOring Brazilian Refugees
-Mendonca VIII Not Talk.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 14-Senor
Mendonca, the Brazilian minister, today
received the following cablegram from
his government:
"RIO DE JANIERO. May il, 1894
"To the Brazilian Minister. Washington:
THE president of the republic has sus-
pended diplomatic relations with Portu-
gal, giving passports TO Count Paraty
and the personnel of the Portuguese lega-
ton in Rio. and ordered the Brazilian le-
cation in Lisbon to withdraw.
This rupture Of diplomatic relations is
the direct result of the action of the Por-
tuguese naval commanders in Rio in
affording asylum to the Brazilian rebels
When da Cana abandoned his fleet in
the harbor. March Is last, he took his
followers aboard the Portuguese men-of-
war A1indello and Alfonso de Albu-
querque, where they were sheltered. The
Brazilian government made a demand
for their surrender holding that, as the
refugees were taken aboard the Por-
tuguese vessels within territorial wa
ters, they could not claim asylum, and
should be submitted to trial by the Bra
lillian courts. The Portuguese command
ers refused to surrender the rebels, and
the next day sailed away 10 the river
Platte. The refugees were the cause Of
much trouble to their hosts, for, after
some ugly complications with the Uru-
6ud al duAAlpAlAlGo SAOhAAAE bAN "a III
violation of quarantine regulations, the
Portuguese commanders permitted
number of refugees TO escape on an Ar
gentine vessel. They were recaptured,
but this involved the Portuguese in a
dispute with the Argentine government
the result of which was that they We're
obliged TO give up their prisoners, who
attained liberty on Argentine soil. Mean
while Brazil had not abated her claim,
and insisted that Portugal return the
refugees. Clearly this could not be done,
so the result is as announced in the fore
going cablegram, a rupture between the
parent country and Brazil
What the outcome will be cannot be
predicted. Minister MendOnca, when
seen today, avoided discussion Of the fu-
ture course of his government. The
rupture of the diplomatic relations is
sometimes tantamount TO a declaration
| of war, but it IS scarcely likely to be SO
serious in this case. 1t is difficult TO see
how the Portuguese government can con-
ciliate Brazil although this might be
accomplished by the surrender of Ad-
miral da CANA, who is reported to be
en- route to Portugal, and an ample
apology. Portuguese pride, historical in
its Obstinacy, will probably stand in the
way of any such concessions. and it is
more probable that the two nations will
continue to stand in an unfriendly atti-
tude toward each other until time mol
lilies the outraged feelings Of the Bra
Zilians.

CLEVELAND. May 1.-THE miners
convention was called To order by Presi-

in Bank-st. hall. with about two hundred
delegates present. y committee was .ap-

Nothing of Importance was accom-

convention and it was decided TO hold
another session in the morning at which
the scale committee will make a report.
Each delegate who is a member of the
scale committee will state the rate of
wages paid in his district before the
strike and at present. These reports will
be taken down by the secretary and Will
form a basis for the scale which will be
presented to the operators.
1t is utterly impossible to predict the
result of the conference tonight, for in

PLOT BY CONVICTS
To Blow Up the Michigan State
Prison.

JACKSON, Mich. May s-A deter
mined attempt was made last night to
blow up the state prison with dynamite,
and but for the prompt action of Deputy
Northrup and Guards Horning and Muir
ply it would have succeeded. Some $50
convicts from the west cell block had
been out attending a literary society.
On their return, just before entering
their cells, Guard Horning was attacked
by one Of the convicts. \ lively strug-
gle ensued, participated in by three con-
victs and three officers. While two Of
the cOnvicts were struggling with the
guards a third sprang into a window and
attempted to light a fuse attached to
four sticks of dynmite. He was re-
strained and the prisoners locked up.
The principals in the affair are Ed
ward Huntley, sent from Detroit for
twenty years for burglary and who was
shot in the lower portion Of the abdomen
while attempting to escape a year and
half ago; John Demann, sent from Grand
Rapids on a fifteen-year sentence for
murder in the second degree, and Ar
thur Lawrence, cOlored, sent from Eaton
county for ten years for burglary. War
den Chamberlain believes that others
were interested IN the affair
Where the dynamite came from is a
mystery. An entertainment which was
to have been held in the prison tonight
was declared off. 1t is believed this is
because the officials think that many
other cOnvicts are implicated in the plot
for escaping, and that they suspected an
attempted outbreak tonight. \ slip of
paper was found in the convicts' dining
room, on which was written:
Lawrence Id fool. If he'd waited
till today we'd all be free or in hell
