CheaD Watches.

It is to the late Aaron l.. Dennison of Birmingham, England, more than to any one else that we owe cheap watches, which were never so abundant and so we'll made as now. Though he died in England, he was Yankee and tho father of watch making by machinery in America. It was in 1850 that he completed his model of the first watch of the pattern in use to- day Previous to that time watches had been mado by bandwork, and the idea of making them in quantities on the inter- ohangcable system was uDdreamed of New York World

GOT HIMSELF IN TROUBLE.

A NEGRO ATTEMPTS TO PASS A QUARTER
 PLATED WITH GoLD.
 T. L. Stokes, colored, was arrested and placed in the county jail yesterday on a warrant charging him with attempting to pass counterfeit money. Stokes went into County Tax Collector Hewitt's office yes- terday morning and offered to pay the taxes on his property in Woodlawn. He threw down S10 spurious gold coin, re- questing that the change be handed him. Mir. Frank Hewitt, clerk in the tax collect OTIS office, on picking the coin up noticed it was not genuine, and on closely examin- ing it discovered that it was asilver quarter with a thin plate of gold. The letters on the quarter had been scratched out. The negro turned to walk away, but was soon overtaken and arrested. He was lodged in the county jail as United States prisoner, and later in the day state warrant WAS also sworn out for him.

 HERALD.
 2 TROY, March 26.-lSpecial Correspond ence. Jon last Sunday it was my good for tune to drive twelve miles from Troy into the country and spend the day with one of the best farmers in this section of the state. He runs an extensive farm; raises cotton, corn, peas, potatoes, cane, syrup, and all the other products of well-regulated farm. He buys nothing save that which he cannot rsise-the manufactured goods. He lives in a fertile soil in one of the best farming sections. He has shown his good judgment this year by dropping twenty acres from more'i in corn, peas, etc. He has used little guano and proposes to farm on what seems a most sensible plan.
 In regard to an exhibit at the Atlanta ex- position he said that by all means Alabama should have a representative exhibit at the Cotton States exposition. He fully indorses the sending of delegates to the convention at Birmingham on April 2. He is pro- gressive in his ideas, sees the great need of Industries, the expanding of capital and the development of our material resources, and says he would like to see some indus tries started. think that with a good, clear present tation of the matter to him he would set to work and copsumn1ate the erection of canning factory.
 When asked if he would take hold of the matter and help raise an exhibit to be sent from Alabama to the Cotton States exposi- ton he signified that he would.
 The man to whom we refer is Yancey l.. Bryan of Hilliard's Cross Roads, Q man noted for his big-souled and good, clever disposition.
 Speaking of newspapers he was profuse in bis ideas regarding the AGE HERALD. He says it is one of the best papers he ever read. He has been a subscriber to it for years, and says he would not be without 1t. He takes quite number of papers and says he would not give up the AoE- HERALD for any of the balance save his county paper. He is a stauuch democrat, a member of the Primitive Baptist church, and . light in his community. He is strong friend oi education. Any section might well be proud to call him it's own.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Ooh. Ludlow, President CT the COmmi.
siOn. NOW In the City.

00h. Ludlow, President CT the COmmis-
sion, Now In the city.
Col. Ludlow Of the engineer corps of the
Amy, president of the Nicaragua canal
commission, called at the State Department
today and informed Acting Secretary Adee
OF the return of the commission from Mic
aragua. The work of preparing the report
upon the feasibility of the projected canal
across the isthmus will begin in a few days
in the offices assigned to the commission in
the Army building at New York. Inasmuch
as the report is intended for the special In
formation of Congress. which directed the
investigation to be made. it Is unlikely that
the report or any of the conclusions of the
commission will be made public before Its
presentation to Congress in December next.
The commission visited the isthmus on
-ile cruiser Montgomery. They reached
Greytown May IL. and took surveys not
only OF the waterway itself, but of other
routes, in which work they were engaged
about five weeks. They then went to Colon
and made a superficial examination of the
Panama canal, and started back home on
the 18th instant. Although the members of
the commission refuse to discuss the char
acter of their report, there is a general un-
derstandng that it will be favorable to the
completion of the Nicaragua canal The
Colorado bar which has caused so much
trouble at the entrance to the harbor of
Grcytown, can, it is said, be partially re-
moved by dredging and kept open suf-
fCis ntly for all ordinary purposes of trans
IortatiOn. 1t is also understood that a
slight change in the route will be recon-
nlended in order TO avoid several serious
Obstacles. There is belief, founded upon
:he investigations of the commission, that
the canal can lie finished in seven years at
q total cost of about sl1OOOO,OOO The COM
mission found many things to criticise in
the past management of the canal, and it is
said that considerable space in their re-
port will be devoted to that subject.

SALVADOR'S LATEST PLOT
The Alleged Attempt to Assassinate Presi-
dent Gutierrez.
Thomas ReEalado, "a Former Ameri-
can Student, Said to BE at the Head
of the InsurrectiOn.

SAN FANCISCO July 23.-Captain
Raphael De Moro of Berkeley has received
copy Of Ell Diario Beune Publico of Sal
vador, which gives an account of q
| thwarted insurrection against President
| Gutierrez, led by Thomas Regalado, a for
mer student at the University of Cali
fornia. Regalado was graduated several
years ago from the Berkeley gymnasium.
The military instruction he received en-
abled him to secure a commission in the
Salvadorean army. He rose rapidly until
President Gutierrez made him his conf
Dental adviser and aid. Then. according
to the account which Captain De Moro
translates from the Bueno Publico, Regala-
do became ambitious to control the govern
ment and plotted an insurrection against
Gutierrez. The president was informed as
to the conspiracy and before the insur-
gents could mature their plans they were
arrested and thrown into prison.
Pablo Areno, Thomas Regalado and Man
uel R1VaS, the leaders, are to be shot, the
papers state without trial. An appeal will
be made to Consul Lemus. the Salvador
representative in San Francisco. to inter-
cede in Regalados behalf
Ezcta. Denies.
The telegraphic advices from San Saliva
dor, published yesterday morning an
rouncing the discovery by the authorities
OF plot to murder President Gutierrez
and Foreign Minister Castellanos are dis
credited. Gen. Ezeta, the exiled president,
says the ruler of the turbulent little re-
public will be deprived of his power in
more heroic maner.
1T Is stated that an Italian cook has
been arrested, and has confessed that ne
had been offered large sun: of money by
me to poison the president and foreign
minister" said Ezeta. Il do rot believe
the Italian made any such confession. 1t
is an excuse 10 get somebody out of the
way. When Gutierrez wants to get rid of
an enemy he adopts such me assures that he
may carry out plans with impunity. If he
did not find some good excuse the public
would rise UP and object to his kigh-hand-
ed proceedings. 1t is simply an indication
OF how Gutierrez is running things in San
Salvador"
Gen. Ezeta repeats the assertion that he
will load ship with munitions OF war and
return to Salvador and overthrow the gov
ernment. but says that instead of sailing
from Pacific port, as Re intended to do,
be will sail from some point en- the At
lantic coast.

THE NEXT CoNGREs S
Opinion Favorable to a Short Session Next
Winter.
Both Parties Will BE Anxious to Get
Away for the Presidential
Campaign.

Public men in Washington are already
beginning to discuss the proba abilities as
TO the length of the next session of Con-
gress. Opinion is generally favorable to a
short session, and is based largely on the
belief that both parties will be Gesirous of
getting away for the campaign at as early
a date as possible. 1t is now believed by
some that Mr.. Reed, feeling practically GER
tain that he will be elected to the speaker
ship, has already virtually completed the
House committee list, and that at any rate
he will be able to announce his appoint
ments very soon after the converting of
the two houses on the I'd of December.
Mr.. Reed Informing Himself.
1t Is quite generally understood that he
has put in q large portion of the time since
the last election in informing himself as
to the qualifications and adaptability to
committee work of the new members with
view to heing able TO make his selections
for committees Is intelligently and prompt
ly as possible The task he has doubtless
found an unusually onerouS one because of
the fact that such large perceutage of
the members, and especialiysthe republi-
can members, are men who have never be-
fore been In public life. He has on this
account been compelled to seek informa-
ton concerning them from local sources,
and the task has not always been one easy
of accomplishment. Ordinarily the import
ant places on the committees are assigned
to reelected members with whoms the
speaker has served and concerning whose
qualifications he has some information at
first hand. placing the newly elected men,
bers in the less important places and thus
affordtng them an opportunity to display
their general capabilities for legislative
work before assigning them to positions in
which they would be responsible for the
initiation of legislation.
1t was early seen, however, that this
course would not be followed in the next
Congress, as it would result in an uneven
distribution of the work well the
honors, not only as applied to members,
but as applied to sections as well.
A Decided Innovation.
Should the House committees be
nounced soon after the beginning of the
session and that body get its work we'll
under way before the Christmas holidays
it would be a decided innovation. Few
Congresses in recent years have begun the
session without this plan as a part of their
program, and few have succeeded in put
ting it into execution.
Some of the arguments advanced in favor
of short session are that there will prob
ably not be the usual amount of general
legislation before Congress: that even
though the tariff may be taken up it has
been SO recently discussed as to leave moth
ing new to be said upon it, and that ma
jority of both the old political parties will
prefer to allow the silver question to rest
with little agitation as possible on the
eve of a national election.
