Present Government With Success
Directly Ahead

The condition of affairs in Uruguay

cording to dispatches received from
Montevideo. The government has re-

astrous defeat of the Federal caval-
ry in the department of Duraserno by
Jose Sarahiva, the Brazilian insur-
gent, and the death of the Uruguayan
leader, Maj. Rodriguez, Half of the
Federal regiment of cavalry was an
initiated in the battle. The govern
ment was also informed that its col
umns had suffered further loss by the
defeat of Col. Alcoba, who attempted
to decOy the insurgents into an am
bush in the department of Lorida.
The plans of Col. Alcoba were frus-
trated by the foresight of the rebel
leader Aberlo Marquise and the Eru-
guyan troops were routed. There is
feeling of great alarm in Monte
video. which was emphasized by the
discovery of depot wherein was
stored many dynamite bombs. Many
persons accused of completely in the
plot to overthrow the government
have been arrested and the town is
fast being deserted by all who have
it in their power to leave their homes.
Rumors are current in well informed
circles that there have been many con-
ferences Of persons Of high position
in politics with view to a demand for
the abdication of President Idarte
Bonda. 1t is reported that plans have
formed to establish n government by
triumvirate composed of Senior To-
mas Gomensoro and Generals Louis
Perez and Maxine Tales.
The revolution receives every day
fresh strength even in the capitol. and
the government has quartered greatly
increased bodies of troops at the pal
ace and municipality and at all points
where influential and wealthy persons
live. The war department has also
ordered that the fifth battalion Of bit.
ter memory, dissolved in 1887 by Pres
ident Tajas. be recognized.
Citizens of Uruguay residing in
Buenos Ayres. have issued a mani
festo in behalf of the revolution in
their country, in which they say that
truth and justice are the only objects
of the insurrectionary movement.
They ask for aid and recognition.

LEATHER AND SHOE TRADE.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The Chicago Shoe
and Leather Review issued today,
says: The pack hide market eontin-
ues to decline. Eastern tanners are
making a determined stand. Buen0s
Ayres hides are one cent lower than
they were early in November and
Chicago packers native steers quoted
at 10 cents the week after election are
now unstable at Q cents. The over
confidence that pervaded the leather
and shoe trade has given place to n
more conservative feeling and there
is an universal demand for cheaper
raw material. More than 1900 brand
ed hides have been sold since Wednes-
day consisting of Texas steers at S1a
cents and Colorado steers and brand
ed cows at ~ cents. The prices are
1 cent lower than we quoted Noyem-
Der IA. Chicago country bum hides
are weak at 8 cents. 1t is under
stood that the Milwaukee grain leath-
err tanners held a secret meeting this
week and resolved to abstain from
buying beef hides until the market de-
clines to z cents. Local dealers are
making unavailing protestations. Chi
cabo packers tallow is very weak at
3% cents for prime. About 10000
pounds sold early In the week at 81
cents but 3 5-S cents Is now the best
bid Obtainable.

ONE SENSIBLE DEMOCRAT,

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 5.-When
asked what legislation he thought
woukt be Enacted at this session of
congress which convenes next Mon
day, Senator White said: Il think
very little will be done beyond pass
ing the regular appropriation bills.
Practically nothing will be done IN
til after the holidays. l do not think
the Dingley bill will be passed. and
indeen that it will be considered. II
would be foolish to pass a tariff bill
that would have to be changed by the
next congress. l doubt If there will
be very great opposition to the senate
passing a tariff bill in the 55tb CON
gress. The Republicans claim that
then' policy will improve the indus.
trial condition of the country and wa
claim that it will not. The comfy

could claim that they did not have n

DISTILLERS' CoNFAB.
Agreement Not Signed but Contents
Given.

Given.
Chicago, Dec. 5.-The distillers
agreement is not yet signed. This
much is announced authoritively.
What the agreemnt will contain, IL
it is ever signed, and when it will be
signed are matters that the people
most interested seemingly do not care
to discuss. The entire conference of
distillers is being hedged about with
a good deal of secrecy. Even the
names of the people who are here at
tending the conference are being kept
a secret. The principal man in the
agreement is supposed to be president
of the American Spirits Manufactur-
ing company, Samuel Rice,who arriy-
ed in Chicago early in the week.
There are perhaps one dozen distillers
who are in Chicago for the purpose
of discussing the proposed agreement.
1t will take several days yet before
the entire scope Of the agreement can
be settled upon and there are many
diverse interests to be considered and
in some cases to be placated. A
stockbroker who claimed to have in
side information gave out the follow
ing as a plan of agreement: The ma
king of fund of 100000 to which
the distributors were to contribute. ac-
cording TO the output Of their plants.
Each firm in the agreement was to
pay into the fund from % to 90 cents
for each gallon of spirits produced,
the repayment of this to be condi-
toned upon a faithful observance of
the rules of the organization. The
rules further provide for the distri-
button of spirits and to take up ques-
tons of railroad rates and other mat
tiers of like interests to distillers.

COBB ON CUBAN RIGHTS.

st. Louis, Dec. 5.-Copgressman Seth
w. Cobb of st. Louis, is authority for
the statement that congress will rec
ognize the belligerent rights Of the
Cuban patriots whether President
Cleveland recommends 1t or not.
"The situation is grave one" said
Mr.. Cobb, "and 1t is difficult to say
what the president will do. 1t is my
opinion, however, that President
cleveland in his message to congress
will speak very kindly of the Cuban
patriots, but will not recommend any
action. do not think he is in favor
of taking any positive steps and will
leave that to congress"

Victoria, B. O.. Dec. 5.-The Aus

one Of the most remarkable tales OF

liam liner left Sydney, containing an
unsealed message to the effect that the
ship Mohawk sprung a leak in lati-

west, and that the crew was taking
to the boats as a last resort, The mes
sage which was yellow with age con-
cluded, "God help us, (signed) John
Franklin"
The Mohawk, John Franklin mate,
was lost with all hands sixteen years
ago on a voyage from Quebec to
Tyrone, in Ayrshire. and this wave
beaten message is the first word as
to how she met her doom.
