The First Fatal Encounter at Brooklyn
 One Man Killed by the Militia.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 23.-The first fatal encounter of the great strike took place about II o'clock last night, when in an encounter with few boys at the Halsey street station of the Brooklyn City Railway Co. a volley was fired by the militia. Henry Ahnes, of New York city, was fatally shot, musket ball entering at his mouth and passing through his head. Another man, whose name is Williams, was wounded in the arm. The shooting had the instant t effect of dispensing the mob.
 The ninth day of the tie-up has closed without bringing material change in the situation. It has been a day of alarming rumors, which fortunately have slight or no foundation. There were, between daybreak and nightfall, numerous brushes between the police and militia on one side and the strikers or headstrong, law-defying sympa- thizers with their cause on the others

MEXICO AND GUATEMALA.
Probability of a War Between the Two
 Countries.

Countries.
 MEXICO CITY, Mex, Jan. 23.-An in- teresting rumor in circulation to-day regarding the probable outbreak of war between Guatemala and Mexico is to the effect that Gen. Porfirio Diaz. president of the Mexican republic, will take command of the forces on the frontier in person. Should the con. hict lead into general Central Amer ican fight or develop into unforeseen complications, it is entirely within the range of possibilities that Gen Diaz would then take the field in person, with the probability of adding to his glory as the greatest military man of the present generation.
 It was learned to-day that the war ship Gen. Sargossa has been ordered to a Guatemalan port to take on board the Mexican charge d'affaires, Senor Jose Godoy. If the Guatemalan gov ernment does not answer the last and final note of the Mexican government there is believed to be the most immi- nent risk of declaration of war.

KICkAPOO LANDS.
The Reply of Secretary Smith to House
 Resolution of Inquiry,

Resolution of Inquiry.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. - Secretary Smith, in reply to house resolution asking for the causes of delay in open ing to settlement certain lands in Okla homa ceded by the Kiclzapoo Indians, 5ays that subsequent to the agreement by which the lands were ceded the in- terior department received many com. munications asserting the Indians were obtained through misrepresentations and fraud. The great difficulty in making allotments was the source of much delay.
 A delegate of the Otoe Indians of Oklahoma had an interview with h. dian Commissioner Browning yester- day, in which he sought the permission of the department to lease land with out formal official approval. Interpre- ter George Spread Eagle, Louis Angel and their spokesman from the Quapaws of Indian territory, who want official approval of all allotments of land made among themselves, were also at the department. A delegation of half a dozen Kickapoos from the Indian -,ritory has reached the city to pro- test against the allotment of their land. The delegates are, headed by Pah-Pe-Shick, the leaders of the non- progressive element of the Kiclapoos, of whom there are about 100 out of the tribe membership of 300.

GERMAN FARMERS UNEASY.

The Agricultural Glasses Looking to tho
 Government for General Relief.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There is a great unrest among the agricultural classes in Germany, owing to the de- pression of grain prices, according to a report to the state department by the United States consul-general at Berlin. It shows in striking manner the growth of socialistic ideas in Germany, and particularly sets out the demand for some legislation like the United States anti-option bill, that will prevent the manipulation of prices of agricultural products by speculators and middlemen, and for public gran aries where grain may be stored and money be borrowed upon it, as pro- posed by the Farmers Alliance here.
 The consul-general says that this agitation is not confined to Germany, but pervades Europe, and he cites reSo- lutions passed in London by agricul- tural unions on December 12 and l3, requesting the British government to forbid trading in fictitious food values, owing to the harm it does by lowering prices. Similar action was taken on December 13 by tho Saxon Central Agricultural union, which memorialized the German gov ernment to reform the grain exchange on the basis of actual trading in actual wares, to bring foreign grain into fairer relationship with the German requirements, to increase the funds for land improvement by scientific re- searches, to improve cattle, to create cheaper capital to meet the demands of personal credits in cooperative channels, and to found real estate loan associations to loan money to small land owners. Attention is called to the success of the Russian govern mental granary system, and a strong movement has been instituted to dupli- cate it in Germany.

 SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 23.-With drifts 40 feet deep and snow 22 feet deep on the level at the summit, the utmost energies of the Central Pacific railroad people are needed to keep the line open.

Luckily the wind is not blowing and the situation is not com plicated by formidable land and snow slides. In places mountaineers in the smaller towns communicate by means of tunnels through the snow. Houses are obliterated. Trains proceed eau tiously through solid perpendicular banks of snow like marble walls tow ering above the coaches.
 Word was received yesterday that the snow on the summit of the noun tains had reached the cross arms on the telegraph poles and that four mora inches of snow would prostrate every wire over the mountains.

"The tariff of 1890 was the latest application of protection to American industry. That it was adapted to the conditions of the country was splen- didly and unanswerably demonstrated by the unprecedented prosperity that followed. During the two years that succeeded it's enactment the republic reached the zenith of its industrial greatness, wages touched their highest point, enforced idleness among work ingmen was scarcely known and every branch of business felt renewed life. The principle upon which that measure was devised will constitute the frame work of the next republican tariff. The people have tested "McKinleyism" and they have tasted Wilsonism, and the world knows their verdict. The details of the next protective tariff will take care of themselves.-N. Y. Adver- tiser.

sg~"The gradual lowering of the rate of wages, which has been going on for some time"-since the victory at the polls in 1892. It does not require a great deal of learning to see that the lower duties mean less revenues for the government, combined with greater importations; smaller consumption of domestic goods, throwing men out of employment, combined with lower wages for those employed. Meanwhile the consumers will be looking in vain for that SlG3,O00,000 which the new tariff was to save to them on woolens alone.-lowa State Register.

CARLISLE AND BRYAN.
They Take Different Views on the
Money Question.

Memphis has been the scene of a
great debate the past week. John
G. Carlisle as the champion of the
gold dollar to the exclusiveness Of
other money, to base circulation
on made perhaps strong speech, at
least it is so reported by papers who
think with him.
Bryan, the silver man, made a
good speech. He tracked Carlisle
up since he had been in public life
and showed that Carlisle was man
who switched off and there was no
dependence to be put in what he
said politically.
The goldbugs will have
many thousand copies of Carl
isles speech printed and sent over
the country. The silver meu are to
have meeting shortly in New Or
leans and they too will have politi-
cal documents sent out and the
fight will be a warm one.
