Managua, Nicaragua; Advices re-

After six hours fighting at Matearis

Gen. Ortiz and have captured portion
of the rebel artillery. The rebels
were completely defeated and were
driven to La Paz, on the route to Leon
with a loss of 800 killed and wounded.
The government loss was about 300.

Rerlin: The long visits of Emperor

Baron Won Bierberstein, the minister

speculation in the press and in po-

Austrian minister for foreign affairs,
and the future relation OF Italy to the
dreibund In the face of Itaiy's diff

King Humbert, in order to escape
from the dilemma, will abdicate in

SAYS THE DIE DIE is CAST.
Mr.. Teller Regards Mckinley's Nomn-
alton as Certain.

Senator Teller, the leading Republic
can silverite in the Senate and one of
the few Republicans who held up the
tariff bill, said yesterday that he be-
lieyed Mckinley would be nominated.
To some Of his colleagues Mr.. Teller
predicted McKinley's nomination by
acclamation, but to the representative
Of the Post he admitted that this
prophecy was probably a trife too
elastic
"But,' Senator Teller repeated" Il
have no doubt that Mckinley will be
the Republican nominee"
"And then?'
Well" said the Senator, she cannot
carry Colorado any more than he can
carry Texas. But added Mr.. Teller,
1.-THE truth is that no Republican can
carry Colorado on a gold platform or
on a straddlipg platform. remember
that after Harrison had been nomi-
mated in 1892 / was asked whether my
State would 60 Republican. / replied
that it would not, and the result proved
my prediction true. The same circum-
stances will govern in the approaching
campaign. The people Of Colorado

form. AS ii is now, there is littla or
no interest in my State in the selection
of delegates to the National Republi-
can Convention. The Republicans all
seem to think that Mckinley viii be
nominated, and they don't want him."

and elected, be pledged more than any
other man, to the passage Of a high

Senator Teller smiled. Not a bit

they would abandon everything rather
than be forced to take the free coinage

4 SAD STATE Of AFFAIRS.
The People Are to Burn Corn Be-
cause They Have Not the
Money to Buy Coal.
Do You Want Four Years More Of These Con-
ditions?-N so Vote for Mckinley

(F'rOm the St. Paul Globe, Gold Bug.)
Owing to the coal combine, hard coal
in southwestern Minnesota, Western Iowa
and Nebraska costs $3.50 to s. per ton.
There is no likelihood of the price coming
down, and the depressing news comes from
that section that the distracted farmers
will be driven to the necessity of burning
this years corn crop in their stoves and
ranges in order to keep warm during the
long winter months.
Twice during the last ten years the farm
ers have been driven to the same course,
and each time the coal combine was large
ly responsible. Unless an unlocked for
change of heart comes from the barons and
eastern railways which control the hard
coal fields, hundreds of thousands of BUSH
els of corn will be fed to the flames.
The situation is just this. The price of
corn is too small to realize any profit, at
all and the price of coal Is excessively
high that the farmers say that it will be
far cheaper to burn their corn for fuel
and thus save excessive coal bills. The
general manager of one of the large sys-
TENS leading into st. Paul said to the Globe
yesterday that he had several converse
lions with people residing to the south and
southwest, who were at their wits ends
over the situation. Burning their corn
means to them the losing of all their stock
in trade. for while there would be al best
but small profit on their corn, they would
be compelled to sacrifice even this bit for
ready money for the reason they could not
pay $50 and 50 ton for coal. He had
also asked an Eastern coal baron what
prospect there was for the reduction of
the prices of coal in the Northwest. The
reply was not favorable:
We lost money last winter, and cannot
afford to this winter
A. N. Mott. a cattle owner on a very large
scale, and the owner of several very large
city yesterday, consulting with the officials
of the Great Western on rate matters. Mr.
Mott was somewhat blue over the situation
and verified the statement that corn would
be used largely as fuel in his territory, and
country adjoining.
My neighbors sold corn for II cents a
bushel. is cheaper to burn 1t as fuel he
said.
The coal combine is, of course, re.
sponsible for the unreasonable price
of coal; but the demone tization Of sill
YER has broken down the price of corn.
If corn was so cents bushel the peo-
pie could pay 50 for coal. The silver
question is at the bottom of every.
thing.

The same game of threatening the
debtors which is being played in Min
nesota is practiced all over the coun-
try. A recent number of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says:
A Pennsylvania correspondent
writes US that the money-lenders in
his locality are telling the debtors
that if Bryan is elected alr'notes and
obligations to pay money will be called
In and made payable only in gold, and
that persons are terribly frightened
who owe debts. We hope that neither
threats nor brides will cheat them
out of their votes. We say that II
Bryan is elected, and he has Con-
gress who will stand by him, all debts
can be paid in the lawful money of
the United States, and that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver will be
restored, and thus nearly double the
volume Of redemption money. There
is light ahead for all wealth prod ucers
who depend upon the products Of la
Dor to meet their pecuniary obliga-
tions if Bryan Is elected. God pity
every debtor who must pay his debts
10 gold! There is no danger OF too
much primary money!
