Revolutionary Outbreak expected
Personal Encounters of Politicians.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct 3.-As
cabled today, the plans for another
revolutionary outbreak against PTesi-
dent ZeIaya have been discovered. Sew
eral suspects were arrested two nights
ago. They were accused of making
preparations to bring about an upris-
ing against the Government, but the
men arrested are not persons of gen
eral influence: in fact some of them
are suspected Of being spies of the
Government and it is added that they
will possibly be released on making
accusations against native Nicaragu-
ans of wealth, so as to furnish the au-
thorities with an excuse for imposing
heavy fines upon them. In spite or
this. however, there is no doubt that
there exists strong feeling OF oppo-
sition in certain quarters to the gov
eminent of President Zelaya, and there
have been several movements of i'm
DCrtance among his political opponents
and further trouble is apprehended.
The Presidents enemies are believed
to have planned some time ago 10 cap
tUre the military barracks and maya
zines and to overthrow the Govern
ment. Il was further reported that
General Antonio Lara, who fought
against President Zelaya in the recent
revolution, and who has been impr1s-
oned here ever since, has declared that
he overheard discriminating cOnversa-
lions between some of the recently i'm
prisoned suspects,

bank agent of the London Bank OF
Central America, and Consul of the
Argentine Republic here, got into a

that his company was prepared to deal
extensively in silks, mattings, embroid-

These are to be placed on the market
here and elsewhere, or exchanged for
-four, canned goods, machinery and
other articles that can be profitably
sold in Japanese markets. After re-
naming here a fortnight il is Mr..
Noro's intention to go to Portland

country. He will then go to New York

The reported refusal of the Porte to
allow American war ships to pass the
Dardanelles may be taken, we believe,
with grain of salt. The part taken
by the United States in the training of
Turkeys mis-ruler has been very slight
indeed. United States war ships have
been on hand simply TO give protection
to American citizens, and not with a
view to laying violent hands on land
or anything else belonging TO the
Turks. 1t might be possible for the
powers of Europe to form a combina-
ton and attempt to use the United
States as a catspaw. This, in fact,
seems the most reasonable eXplana-
ton. If the Porte can be forced to
pick row with Uncle Sans men it
will afford an opportunity for the
European towards to daily over and
put off The inevitable division of the
Turkish Empire.

ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Four Storehouses Being Built Near the |
Line by Americans

SEATTLE, Oct. 5.-The United
States lighthouse tender Manzanita re-
turned from Alaska today, where she
had taken party of stone masons and
laborers under the supervision OF Lieu
tenant Galliard of the engineer corps,
u. S. A. The mission of the Manzanlta
is significant in that it was for the
purpose of constructing four store
houses at different points near the
boundary line of Alaska and British
Columbia, presumably to be used dur
ing the coming summer by American
surveyors who will take to the field.
These storehouses will be built at Sal
mon river, Halibut bay, Lizard point
and ManZanita cove, and are suDstan-
tial. coy buildings. 1t is possible that
the Government has taken heed OF the
many hints that have been thrown out

nent Alaskans regarding the activity

have been in the field for several years

BRYAN FEVER COOLING.

A prominent wool dealer OF the Unit
ed States who passed through Homo
lulu on the WarrimOo is so positive OF
the election of Mckinley that he has
started off 10 make his yearly pur-
cbases in New Zealand so as to be ready
TO take advantage of the improved
condition of trade bound to follow after
the election. This is certainly an ex-
hibition of supreme confidence and it
is more noticeable since it comes from
a Cleveland Democrat, typical mug
wump member of a mugWump nr1n.
With the exception of the news as
dished up by the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. the dispatches by the last mail
certainly verify the confidence in Nc
KinIey's election which was shown by
our friend the wool dealer. The change
in the situation has been very slight,
except that the Bryan fever is being
steadily cooled by Mckinley common
sense The two candidates are con-
tinufng the same style of campaign
work that they started out with. Bry-
an is whooping it up from car plat
forms and public squares and McKin-
ley is making about as many speeches
to the large delegations calling daily
and almost hourly at his home. The
men who make up the Mckinley ex-
cursions can be depended upon as
Mckinley voters, but 1T is an open ques-
ton how many curiosity seekers there
are in the Bryan throngs. In betting
ring which is one of the best political
thermometers the odds on Mckinley
are steadily on the increase.
The principal utterances of interest
have been Bryan's acceptance of the
PopuIist nomination and his assertion
of confidence in his own election.
Bryan's final letter of acceptance is
not a very remarkable document. lie
practically gives the Peoples party
credit for originating the silver move
ment, and suggests that any minor
points in party platforms should be
overshadowed by the silver plank; he
also expresses confidence that there
will be no antagonism between the
various regiments of the one great
army This last is amusing in view
of the warm words with which Sewall
has been received by the Populists.
There is talk of both the candidates
for vice-president resigning, and in
this seems to rest the only menace to
Republican victory. Let the national
committees decide at the eleventh hour
upon some new man for the second
place; let this new candidate be one OF
the Bryan stamp who can furnish red
lights of oratory for while, the Re
publicans will stand a fair chance to
lose the ground they have gained. How
ever. as Sewall has contributed 100000
to the campaign fund he need not fear
being displaced.
Bryan's assertion that he is to be
elected brings to mind the remark
passed by President Cleveland when
the returns from the 1888 election were
coming in AS the telegraph instru-
ment licked off the news of Harrison's
success, Mr. Cleveland said, 1T is inn
possible, am man of destiny" When
BRYAN reads his defeat he can have the
consolation that he is not the only
man of destiny who has been dumped
by the roadside.

There seems to be no diminution in the

If you will carefully read the statis-

The majority of readers have never
