Prospect of Peaceful Adjustment of
Troubles Not Very Bright.

New York, Feb. lS.-A special to the
World from Guatemala says: "Riots are
frequent in many cities of tine country.
While no one of them is important, con-
sidered together they indicate universal
discomfort. Should President Barrios be
unable to divert the attention of the peo-
pie by foreign war it is believed he can
not prevent revolution which will ac-
complish his overthrow"
New York.-A special to the World
from Guatemala says: Gle Infesta, a
leader of the anti Mexican party is sus-
pected of urging President Barrios to
take firmer stand against President
Dlaz. Mexico's claims for indemnity are
not likely to be allowed except for prop
erty destroyed by Guatemalan soldiers in
the last excursion into Mexico. The
claims of Mexican firms for cutting
wood on the strip can not be allowed.
President Barrios declares that he has no
intention of dissolving the national as
sembly as preclude to assuming the
Dictatorship"

THE CATTLE INTEREST.
Colorado Negotiating with Great
Britain-The Mexico Muss-
German Tariff

Denver, Feb. Estate Veterinarian
GressweIl has had his British quarantine
cattle resolution introduced in the senate.
This resolution is to be made the first
step toward opening negotiations with
the British authorities for the exemption
of Colorado grown cattle from the rule
that all American cattle must be
slaughtered within twentY-four hours of
arrival at British port. This is pre-
cautionary measure adopted to keep out
contagious diseases.
Over year ago DR.. Gresswell went to
Washington and there laid before the au
thorities the fact that Colorado cattle had
and could have no such contagious dis
ease as tuberculosis, bovine fever, Texas
fever or pleuro -pneumo onia, against which
four diseases the ports of Europe are all
now guarded. He has also been in cor
respondence with British authorities and
received promise that if his representa-
tions of the immunity of Colorado cattle
from contagious diseases are correct, the
quarantine may be raised to admit them
into British ports. In order to carry out
his plan the state veterinarian has intro
duced resolution in both the senate and
house affirming the freedom of cattle
here from disease and authorizing his
board to take all steps necessary towards
securing British port of entry fer
Colorado cattle.

BIMETALLISM'S BOOM.
Bold Utterances by the German I'm.
Perial OfiiciaIs-A bright Pros
pect In View.

Berlin, Feb. 18.-The silver question
in the United States and Europe has been
the subject with which the political and
financial world of Berlin have been chiefly
occupied during the past week. The
financial troubles in tire United States are
followed with the closest attention, and
rhe National eitung, Kleino's Journal
and other papers have commented at
length upon the situation in Washington;
and the action of the reichstag in adopt
ing Count Mirbachs resolution instruct
ing the federal government to issue invi-
tations for an international monetary
congress TO take action for the rehabili-
tation of silver as a circulating medium
has given marked stimulus to the sub
ject.
Previous to its adoption Count Won
Observation-Disclosures, secretary of state
for the imperial treasury, in behalf of the
government, declared its sympathy with
the object aimed at by the resolution.
He SAID it was not to be denied that the
ever-falling price of silver was prejudic-
ia to industry and to the German silver
mines. Consequently the decline tended
to deprive large body of workingmen
of their means of subsistence. Even
monometallists admitted that the depre-
ciationin the price of silver was harmful.
"The premier and minister of finance of
France Lave stated that France must re-
verse the double standard, and that Ger
many was responsible because she first
began the use Of the gold standard. The
rural population believe that the fall in
silver is answerable for the drain in the
value of the product. This opinion is
shared, moreover, by many rnanufactur-
ers. Therefore, it is the duty of the gov
ernment to return a benevolent answer
to the question which has been put by
majority of the reichstag."
The utterance was received with much
conservative cheering.
Prince Hohenlohe indicated the atti-
tude of the government in carefully
worded declaration which he read, as fol-
lows:
without prejudicng our imperial cur
rency, one must confess that the differ
ence in the value of gold and silver con.
tinues to react upon our commercial life.
Following, therefore, the tendencies
which lead to the appointment of a civil
commission, am ready to consider, in
conjunction with the federal govern
ments, whether we can not enter upon
friendly interchange of opinion as to
common remedial measures with the
other states which are chiefly interested
In maintaining the value of silver"
New York.-The resolutions adopted
by the reichstag favoring an international
monetary congress attracted considerable
attention among bullion brokers to-day.
A London cable says: "There was
sharp rise in silver stocks on kilograms
from Berlin indicating the possibility of
monetary conference"
