the marriage. This was secured. No date
was fixed for the wedng.
AT that time Iarlin WIS a telegraph
operator in San Francisco. Every thing
seemed to point to an early welding.
One day. however Miss Meta found a
package of letters which Pariin had care
iEesssly Es dropped during one OF his visits.
She read those letters and learned that
she was not the first love OF her betrothed.
In fact she learned that he had been mar
rled in the east ana that his wife was
dead. She also learned that he had a
child in Helena. Montana. He bad de-
clared that he was only 30 years old. but
he letters showed that he was past 81.
The next time Parlin called he had a
real pleasant time. He was askei all
about the statements contained in the
letters. His explanations were lame. He
admitted that he had not told his pros
pectlve wife all the secrets of his life. He
had an oily tongue, however. and he
managed to make the best OF an awkward
situation. Miss Meta forgave him, and
again the current of their love ran
smoothly. The wedding day was fixed tor
June 10th last. In the meantime Parlin
lost has position as an operator and he
concluded to go south. ii e informed. hls
sweetheart that he would return IN time
to keep his wedding engagement. and
after the marriage they would make their
home in the south.
ParlIn, after his arrival in his new
nome. Kept up correspondence with
Miss Behrens. assuring her Of his undy-
ing devotion. He. wrote that he was
studying medicine, and that he was maxi
ing great progress. As matter Of fact
it is said that he was motorman on an
electric street car line. Mrs. Behrens says
his letters to her were couched in the
most loving terms, and he always signed
them, Your loving husband" She de-
nles that she was ever married to Parlin
by contract. but some of her letters to
him point to different conclusion.

c. ?. HuntIngton In ID.

SAN Francisco, CAL, January 29.-The
land involved in dispute between Mexico
and Guatemala is covered for the most part
with dense forests of precious woods.
Mexican choppers from the north and
Guatemala choppers from the south have
cashed to the heart of the forest that fringes
the banks of the rive:s Usumacinto and
La Cantun and their tributaries and this
precipitated the conflict. The controversy
rests on the question whether La Cantun, or
one of the forks of the Usumacinto consti-
tute5 the boundary between the Mexican
state of Chiapas and Guatemala.
An American engineer, Miles Roch, was
sent to survey the boundary. He ran line
through the forests still further west than
the La Cantun and included as Guatemalan
territory the country of precious woods in
which the com plication had arisen. Accord
ing to Guatemala claims, the lands under
dispute have been Guatemalan territory for
over fifty years. The Guatemalans claim
Mexico's desire to extend her territory is at
the bottom of the com plication in Chiapas
border.
1t is also stat d that the blame for the
whole trouble is by some people laid at the
doors of c. P. Huntington, who has besn
negotiating on the construction of railway
from San Jose, California, to Guatemala.
This, it is alleged, caused scheme for a
railroad Gown the eastern coast of Mexico
to fall through. The latter line would have
brought Guatemala within three days of
New Orleans, and, according to its report,
Guatemala charges Mexico with the defeat
of the plan.

Another Finance Measure.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 26.-Mem-
bers of the house banking committee have
spent much time during the past few days
with Secretary Carlisle discussing the fea-
lures of a new bill with which to make an
other effort toward financial legislation.
The most radical OF the new propositions,
for which Mr.. Cox stands sponsor, is that
for the coinage of silver. 1t contempiates
the cancellation of the Sherman notes when
received at the treasury and the issue of sill
yer certificates in denominations of 81, s.
and 50, or OF silver dollars if the receivers
prefer. To hack these silver certificates it
is proposed to con ali the bullion in the
treasury, which. including S54, 100000 seign-
forage, amounts to S1Sl, 100000. 1t Is ca GU
lated not more than S40.00O,000 can be coined
in a year.
The changes in the banking features Of
the plan provide that while the banks shall
hold the same reserve now required, one-haH
shall be legal tender greenbaeks or Sher-
man notes.
Representative Cox explains this arrange
ment would relieve the treasury OF the raids
upon the gold made possible by the large
volume of the outstanding notes, since it
wou dispose of $500 100000 of notes by
using them to form the basis Of banking
and 100000 for reserve in banks. 1t is
conceded that it might be necessary to en-
power the secretary to issue low rate bonds
20 protect the treasury against large with.
drawals of gold

statehood bills for Arizona and New Mexico
unless they added Oklahoma
In the event the democrats force the fight
in the senate to admit Arizona and New
Mexico an amendment will be offered to
add Oklahoma. The bills to admit Arizona
and New Mexico passed the house, but that
was before the election, and it is now not
certain that the democrats want to push the
bills in the senate. In the event they do it
is reasonably certain they cannot pass them
without conceding republican demands to
admit Oklahoma. 1t is pretty certain the
Indian lobby will continue to fight Okla
homa statehood even if they defeat the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico. This
might block all statehood bills
