Of MIS-. Br0Wns
If a certain welI-knoNn young bust
ness man of Richmond, Va, visits
Baltimore Christmas, had we a good
voice we would be inclined to sing
"What can the poor girl do?"
The many words of praise and en-
enlargement our last issue brought
forth, has led us to belieTe that the
colored public of Baltimore are willing
to support a paper of their own if they
can get a good one, Very well. We
are exerting all of our energies and
using every honorable method to
please you, but don't forget that the
larger part of the success of a news
paper depends upon the Individual
efforts of the public.

ECUADOREAN REBELS WIN.
They Have Guayaquil and Other Coast
Cities md VIII Triumph.

Washington City. June s.A telegram
dated Guayaqui. Ecuador, yesterday ana
received today says: The insurgents
have possession Of the city. Gov. Gen.
Flores has resigned. Tgnacio Robels lio-
erai, has been proclaimed military and
civil general Everything Is quiet a pres
ent Communication with Quito by tele-
graph is interrupted.
The last statements explains why the
state department has heard nothing Of
the progress OF the revolution from United
states Minister Filiman. who should have
arrived ar his post a. Quito some time ago.
Ecuador has been in a turbulent state for
some time past. and much dissatisfaction
was expressed by the people generally
AZ the conduct of the government. This
was fonented by the transfer of he cele-
hratad Chilean cruiser Esmeralda from
chic 10 Japan under cover Of the Ecua-
do-ean flag early in the spring. and since
that event there have been several revO-
lu+ionarv outbreaks eliminating in this
last successful attempt 70 overthrow the
government FOR Il is believed here that
as Guayaquil and other principal coast
cities have fallen into the hands of the
revoIrfionists their complete success will
he only a matter OF 2 few days.

instance OF the interstate commerce COM
mission. at least four OF the most promi-
nent railroad lines in this section. to-
getber with several big Eastern lines, will

the larger firms finding themselves under
sold in Eastern markets began a system

he:

The advantage the Canadian Pacific
has gained IN the Oriental trade may ne
overcome by the construction Of our road.

miles distant. and thus the former town

neviva Garibaldi 2"

When Garibaldi took Naples the King
was still in the city; the police were sui
len, but quiet, and on .he action of the
military depended the fate of all. The
people turned out en- masse to see what
would happen. Leaving the train the
general with Cozens entered carriage,
followed by three other vehicles filled with
officers of the staff.
The gunners of the fortress OF st. Elmo
had received orders to fire on the first
Garibaldians who came in sight. AS the
carriages approached the guns were aimed
and the matches lighted. Slowly came
the generals carriage, followed by mil
lion eyes.
Drive slower" cried GaribaIdi, and the
frightened coachman obeyed. When he
was right opposite the yawning mouths of
the guns the general rose calmly and fixed
his eyes on the gunners. Three times the
order to fire was given while Garibaldi
waited At the third command the gun
ners dropped their matches, threw their
caps in the air and shouted:
"Viva Garibaidip
