TOO MANY FEMALES.
Washington Paradise for Men and a
PurEatory for Women.

Washington is paradise for men and
a purgatory for young women. In no
city in America is she so handicapped
by the numbers of her own set, says a
Washington society authority. Else
where she is sought; here she has to
come down off of her pedestal and enter
the grand scramble for attention, or go
without. This is such complete re-
versal of what she has hitherto been
accustomed TO that it shocks and pains
her sense of what is due her. If there
were fifty men to one woman in society
l suppose that the one woman would
be as badly spoiled as the one man is
now. The only security for a healthy
and natural social intercourse is the
equalization of the number of men and
women in society It's one-sided af-
fair now and is very pernicious in its
effect, and results in the men being bad
IL spoiled and the women embittered
or rendered forward and merciless I'd
each other.

WAR LIKELY TO BIZ DECLARED TO-DAY.

Alert left Mare Island yesterday afternoon
and went to sea. They passed down the
bay under a full head of steam, and when
once outside the Golden Gate turned their
course to the south.
A dispatch from Vallejo to THE CALL
says that they will cruise down the coast
engaging the crews in section and other
drills, and make their way to San Diego,
where they will be in telegraphic communi-
cation with the Naval Department and in
readiness to proceed to Central America
at once in case of hostilities between
Mexico and Guatemala. If they are not
needed to guard American interests there
they will go to Santa Monica, San Pedro,
Santa Barbara, Monterey and Santa Cruz,
and at each port drills of various kinds
will be had. While at sea great-gun target
practice will consume much of the time.
The gunboat Bennington is nearly ready
for sea and by Monday will be complete
for any service required.
The morning call., 1895-01-25

it will be presented formally to the Cabinet
and the President at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
It is understood that it is to the effect that
the territory in dispute belongs to Guate-
mala, and if any indemnity is to be paid
Mexico owes it to Guatemala. The pros
poets are that war will be declared to-
morrow or next day.
Colonel R. C. Pate, the American horse
man, has rendered his services to the
President, and in case of war he will be ap-
pointed to prominent command.
With the immense demonstration of the
students in this capital the war feeling
throughout the republic has been wrought
to high pitch. Reports from interior
points show rising spirit of patriotism
among the people, and it is probable that
other great popular uprisings will occur in
many cities.
a full report of the proceedings was sent
by the representative of the Guatemalan
republic to President Barrios at Guatemala,
and it is said to have created profound
IMPRESSION III NofeInIneAI CIrCIeS.
This city is quiet, although the effects of
a patriotic storm are easily discernible. A
volunteer movement is rapidly spreading
and it would evidently be possible to raise
$4,000 volunteers in this city alone within
a day or two, if the General Government
only indicated a need for assistance. A
telegram from Guatemala says the Spanish
Minister in Madrid will not interfere and
saws indications are that Barrios and the
President of Guatemala are expecting aid
from Spain on account of his bold stand.
The morning call., 1895-01-25

settled by the treaty of 1882, made between
Diaz and Barrios, and now Guatemala in
vades Mexican territory. 1t is not true
that Salvador and other Central American
republics will aid Guatemala. The latter
country has always assumed dictatorial
attitude over her neighbors and she will be
permitted to fight it out with Mexico alone.
The assertion of Senor Duran, Consul of
Guatemala, that Salvadoran troops will
take part in the war is incorrect, as my
country has no quarrel with Mexico and
hates Guatemala.
II believe the report that Barrios has
mortgaged his property and sent the
money to Spain is true. He knows well
the outcome of this trouble, and when the
inevitable defeat comes he will be well
away from the scene. Guatemala is almost
bankrupt, having failed to pay the interest
on her national debt for three years, and
her credit abroad is poor.
81 think Mexico would like to annex her
conquered foe, as Guatemala is rich in nat
ural resources and has three fine ports on
the Pacific. President Diaz does not desire
to interfere with the autonomy of the Gen.
tral American republics, but this war has
been forced upon him, and the aggressor
will have to pay dearly for her act.- If the
Mexican forces get well across the border
Guatemala will be wiped from the map.
During my receut visit to the City of
Mexico l had several conversations with
President Diaz relative to this territorial
difficulty, and he professed himself as de-
termined to make Guatemala abide by the
terms of the treaty. He understands the
indifference of the other republics as to the
fate of Guatemala and he will meet no
other troops in the field"
Concerning the coming struggle at arms
between Mexico and Guatemala, it seems
to be the opinion of those who are CONVEX
SAINT with affairs among the ever-turbulent
Central Americans, that President Barrios
is outclassed. and after one battle will carry
himself and his treasure out of the coun-
try. Mexico has population of over r.
1000, and well-equipped army, while
Guatemala, from her 1,500, 900 population,
can only draw comparatively small force
of raw recruits and Indians.
The morning call., 1895-01-25

Yesterday, ST will certainly exercise it. I
believe that l can investigate any depart
ment of the city government, if, in my
Judgment, it needs investigation. / have
already secured the services of a prudent
man to look into the affairs of the County
Hospital, which for years past has been
wretchedly and outrageously managed. In
the course of this inquiry, which will not
be secret, the public may take part, just as
the public took part in the investigations
by the Lexow committee in New York"
Mayor Sutro said he was surprised that
the Legislature had not appointed COM
mittee to look into local affairs, expose
corruption wherever it exists and point out
remedies. He said that the neglect of the
Legislature would not cause him to relax
his energy in discharging all the duties
incumbent on him. If it could be shown
that he, as Mayor, had authority to ap-
point an investigating committee he would
not waste an hour in naming his men for
the work
at is remarkable, y resumed the Mayor,
'tthat the Legislature should ignore the
wishes of the people of San Francisco; but
what can you expect? The Legislature is
the tool of Boss Burns, who does not
desire an investigation, because in it his
fingers would be severely burned. But if

would arrive on the afternoon train, thus
making it ncumbent upon Dolph to receive
46 votes to be elected. The best they could
possibly hope to do was to hold their
own.
The anti-Dolph men are still morgan
lied and without leader. Their only
apparent object is to defeat Dolph, but as
yet they have been unable to center on a
candidate sufficiently satisfactory to har-
monize the conflicting elements in their
ranks. The situation is Dolph and anti
Dolph. That is all there is to it. 1t is
very evident the deadlock will not be
broken tomorrow and probably not for
seve<Bl days.
Secretary of State Kincaid was nomi-
mated to-day as free-silver Republican
candidate, but received only two votes
Herman received none and Moore lost
four, as it became evident the use of his
name was for the purpose of testing the
strength of the opposition to Dolph.
Mention of Ex-Governor Moody's name
was greeted with applause, and he stands
foremost among the dark horses, heading
a long list, among which appear the
names of Governor Lord, Solomon Hirsch,
George w. Mcbride and others.
One ballot was taken for United States
Senator in joint session this afternoon.
The vote stood: Dolph A, Moore 10.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. M.-Matters were
comparatively quiet on the Third and
Fifth avenue roads to-day. The wires be-
tween Sixty-ffth and Sixty-sixth streets
were cut off after midnight and as conse-
quence the electric lights in the depot went
out, leaving Captain Thorne and his de-
tachment of the Twenty-third Regiment in
total darkness. The wires were not re-
paired until 10 o'clock, when traffic was
resumed and at midday sixteen cars were
running as against twenty yesterday. The
foreman said he was unable to operate q
greater number as some of the new men
had been transferred to Green Point.
During the night and early morning the
full strength of the Twenty-third Regi-
ment, with the exception of Companies F,
G and K, was placed on duty along the
road to Flatbush avenue.
At IL o'clock the police on duty at Twen-
tv-ffth street and Third avenue had a
lively time putting an end to a riot which
had broken out there. About seventy per-
sons collected at this point and ieered the
soldiers who were under arms there. The
mob continued increasing until noon,
when stone was hurled by one of the
crowd, striking policeman. This was
followed by several others and then the
police and militia charged. The mob
rushed along the avenue and into the side
streets. Many of them received baycnet
thrusts from the militiamen while the clubs
of the police were used with telling effect
on the heads of the rioters.
The police arrested John Tigh, Charles
Burke and Stephen Cannon. When con-
veying them to the station the crowd at
tackled them and endeavored to rescue the
prisoners. After a. desperate conflict, dur
ing which more stones were thrown and
blows struck on both sides, the three stone
throwers were locked up.
At Twentieth street and Ninth avenue
the strikers during last MI ht cut the feed
wires, return wires and support wires as
far as Flatbush avenue, distance of over
mile. The feed wire in Twentieth street,
between Seventh and Eighth avenues, was
also destroyed. The wire at Fifteenth
street and Second avenue were cut down

MEXICO WE'LL PREPARED.
Consul General Comey's idea Of the Re
salt In Case of Var.

Consul General Coney'S idea Of the Re-
salt In Case of Var.
Alexander K. Coney, Consul-General of
Mexico in this city, is of the opinion that
if the Mexican and Guatemalan Govern
ments come to hostilities the conflict will
be one-sided and of short duration. Last
evening Mr.. Coney said:
81 think that when the Guatemalans
discover the available strength of Mexico
and learn that the Mexican Government can
no longer be trifed with they will quietly
withdraw south of the mountains beyond
the disputed boundary line.
''The Mexican army is in excellent fight
ing condition and the Soldiers would like
nothing better than a brush with the en-
emy. This is not to be wondered at, be-
cause they have had no fighting to speak of
since 1876. The frontier of Mexico adjoin-
ing Guatemala is well guarded. There are
about 1900 men with experienced gener-
ais and well-trained officers. The gener-
ais in command of that portion of the
army are Bernardo Reyes, Ignacio Bravo
and Bonifacio Topete. They are known as
brave and shrewd commanders and born
fighters.

modern weapons, and their ammunition
and supplies may be said to be unlimited.
Communication is easy, now that the
Tehuantepec railroad is completed. 1t
connects Vera Cruz with Coatzacoalcos on
the Gulf of Mexico and with Salinas Cruz
on the Pacific Coast side.
GAS to masslng troops IN the field, that
is an easy matter. Mexico can place 10000
more men on the Guatemalan frontier
within the next ten days, and 100000 more
within thirty days without calling out
single volunteer. There is another thing
that the Guatemalans should not lose sight
of, and that is the fact that the Mexican
soldiers are just as good at mountain fight
ing as the Guatemalans themselves, if not
better. They are regularly drilled to it.
They have splendid equipment Of noun
tain artillery as well as regular artillery.
The cannons are all rapid-fire guns of the
latest improved patterns. In short, Mex
leo is always prepared for war.
''The fact is" added Mr.. Coney, "Mexico
has money, credit and mighty natural
resources. 1t is simply ridiculous for
Guatemala even to think of going into such
war. 1t is as absurd as would be a fist
fight between Jim Corbett and myself"
The morning call., 1895-01-25

ming of cars over the Third-avenue line was
made at Sixty-fifth street and Third ave-
nue., where plot to burn out the dynamos
in the depot was nearly successful. 1t was
evidently the work of skilled electricians.
The wires were cut and guy ropes attached
to them by which they. were drawn down
and grounded on the posts of the elevated
road. The scheme, however, was dis
covered in time to Illustrate the plan.
The inemen on all the Atlantic cars
struck. This act and the lack of passen-
gers prevented them from running cars on
Eighth and Ninth avenues and Nineteenth
street all day. The militia in the various
depots expressed themselves as fairly well
satisfied with their treatment, but all ap-
peared desirous that the strike should
soon terminate and allow them to return
to their homes.
At Thirteenth street and Fifth avenue
two women, about whom gathered crowd
of men, hailed Fifth-avenue car. When
it stopped they boarded it. They then
drew pistols from under their shawls and
ordered the conductor and motorman to
stop work. The men leaped from the car
and left the invaders in possession. One
of the crowd started the car, jumping off
before it had gained much headway. When
the car passed the stables at Twenty fourth
street it was travelling at high rate Of
speed. One of the men standing there no
ticed the car was running wild and jumped
aboard the rear end and soon had it at q
standsti1. Another gang of strikers at
tempted to pull the motorman off his plat
form, but he fought them off. He was
very roughly used in the scrimmage and
had his jaw broken.
Colonel Austin of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment said in reference to the shooting of
of the man Karney that it was perfectly
justifable, that at the time he was throw
ing missiles at the militia. Sergeant
Shriver and Adjutant Broom had been
severely injured. In the future, however,
he should instruct his command not to
shoot when person refused to halt, but
to place him under arrest. He had sent
pickets to the houses along Hicks street to
warn the residents to stay within doors
and keep their windows closed. They had
gone to the roofs of the houses and removed
piles of bricks which had been gathered
there with the evident intention of using
them as missiles in pelting the militia and
the cars.
President Norton of the Atlantic-avenue
Company says so far as his lines are con-
cerned the strike is at an end, for they can
get all the men and conductors for whom
there are places. A new device to impede
the operation of railways was adopted at
Bergen street and Troy avenue, on the
Atlantic-avenue line, where switches were
cemented during the night. New employees
go about the outside of the militia line at
their peril One who disguised himself as
an old soldier was spotted by the strikers
and badly beaten.
Superintendent Groundie of the Kings
County Elevated Railroad issued an order
to-day directing an increase of 10 per cent
in the pay of all employees whose wages had
been reduced.

CoM1~1rAN, State of Chiapas, Mexico, Jan.
24.-The Government has pushed fresh
forces to the Guatemalan frontier and
camp quarters for large body of men
have been arranged for near this place.
Some Guatemalans living in this vicinity
have fed to Mexico rather than be pressed
into an unwilling service.
Guatemala is using every effort to work
up feeling of patriotism among the peo-
pie Nearly every horse for 100 miles
from the border has been secured by one
means or another. The uncommunica-
tive policy of the Guatemalan Government
is having disastrous effect upon public
order.
Residents of the frontier fear an inva-
sion of mounted Mexican rurales. 1t is
generally felt that should war ensue the
frontier will be overrun by troops and pill
Laying renegades.

dence in Guatemala.
