WASTED HIS SOUP
And Now Asks for the Butchers
Discharge

MODESTO, Cal. Sept. 19-Another
National guard court-martial has been
ordered. the outgrowth of the trial by
court-martial Of T. Andrews, Company
d, who at the recent Santa Cruz en-
campment threw a plate of soup at
Captain Morris, of his company, for
which Andrews was dishonorably dis
charged ard disfranchised. The aim of
Andrews was bad and the plate of soup
missed the captain but was spilled over
another soldier, A. L. Fogarty, who was
wearing a new costume. Fogarty dis
liked having his soup served in that
way and when the guards had seized and
placed Andrews under arrest, the bel
ligerent warrior charges that Fogarty
struck him on the ear. Because of this
blow, Andrews has instituted charges
against Fogarty, who in private life, is
a butcher.

SEALERS SATISFIED
WITH THE POSITION TAKEN BY
ENGLAND
No Trouble Is Expected Over Agree
ments When the Facts Have
Been Ascertained

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Off
cials of the state department are not
disposed to comment on the fur sealing
correspondence given out by the British
foreign office and summarized In the
London Times, further than to say that
it shows that the object sought by the
government of the United States Tor the
past three years has been attained py
the agreement of Great Britain to par
t;c;nate in the convention to he held in
October. The British governmHen!n1 a. ms nas
puta as to Seal life 1t was precisely this
result which was contemplated by Sec
retary Gresham when he proposed the
appointment of a commission of scien-
lists to ascertain whether under the op-
Grafton of existing regulations the seals
were or were not on the road to exter-
mination. If such commission should re-
port in favor of the contention of the
United States, this government did not
doubt that Great Britain would consent
to such modification of the regulations
as would save the seals from extermina-
ton. The continued refusal Of the Brit
ish government to consent to such COM
mission and a conference led to the
transmission to Ambassador Hay of Sec
retary Sherman's note Of May 10th,
which was followed by Lord Salisbury's
reply agreeing to conference.
Surprise is expressed at the state de-
partment that the London Times should
publish only the concluding paragraph
of Secretary Sherman's note and devote
four columns to a communication from
the colonial office which is referred to as
"Mr. Chamberlain's answer to Secretary
Sherman" paper which has not been
communicated to the state department
and therefore to which an official reply
cannot be made.

GOOD REASONS GIVEN
FOR THEIR TOURS TO FOREIGN
COUNTRIES
Guatemalan Citizens Leave Home for
Their Health-Politica1 Condi-
tions Are Simply Chaotic

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19-Among
the passengers on the steamer Colon,
which arrived from Central America to-
..---.-----sfr twv- Pr0rzrr1fv1rt- c1tlZens
Guatemala, both of whom have thought
1t expedient for political reasons to re-
main for awhile away from the scene
OF hostilities in that country The best
known Of these voluntary refugees is
Manuel Morales Tobal, who finds HIM
self embarrassed by the fact that while
minister of agriculture under Barrios,
he is cousin of Prospero Maroles, the
revolutionary leader. He obtained
leave of absence, his resignation on
account of illness being refused, and
came to this country ostensibly to place
his daughter in school. He would ex-
press no opinion regarding Guatemalan
politics.
His companion is Francisco e. To-
ledo, a lawyer, who was one of the
recently deposed congressman, and with
Aledo Gre Leon was imprisoned for three
days by order of Barrios after the lat
ter had proclaimed himself dictator. He
is an avowed sympathizer with the
revolutionists and expects the ultimate
success of Morales, who, he says, is
favored by most of the generals in the
demoralized army of $4,000 men. How
ever he does not deny the constitutional
power Of congress to extend the presi-
dental term. He describes the siiua-
tion as chaotic and he will await the
result of the revolt in this country.
AS the steamer left Guatemala before
the recent exciting events already re-
porteds in these dispatches, they have
nothing to relate in the way of news,
except to confirm the published ac-
counts of the dissolution of congress and

Made Goods

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The United
States consul at Annoy, China, says in d
recent dispatch to the state department
that 1.-The Chinese prefer American cot

goods and meats, and even buy them at
higher prices than other importations
can be had for"
He says: There is a more amicable
feeling existing between the natives and
foreigners in Annoy and the surrounding
country than probably exists at any
other port in China
He thinks the rapid increase, of trade
between the United States and this part
of China should command the attention
of American merchants and of the

We descended the stairway, and

We descended the stairway, and
found the cellar bare and empty. I
peered into every dark nook and cor
ner, but there was nothing which could
have caused the noise.
Nothing to be seen here, Sarah," I
said. ''Maybc we can find something
of interest in the old storeroom."
My grandfather, in his latter days,
had kept the village store and post
office.
The house was built on the side of a
small hill, so that it was three stories
high on the street side and two in the
rear.
The cellar was divided into two apart
ments by thick wall of stone. One
apartment was used for the house sup
plies. The other section was in turn
divided in two, the front facing on the
street serving as the store and post
office, the rear, a deep, cavernous, I'M
foreground room, having been used for
the storage of barrels of vinegar, mo-
lasscs. tobacco and dried fruit.
We descended the open stairway lead
ing down to the storeroom from the
main hall. The door was at the bot
tom, and at first 1 thought it was
locked. Upon closer examination, dis
covered that it had only become tightly
damned by slight settling of the sur
rounding timbers. A few vigorous kicks
soon caused it to open, and we stepped
down into the room.
The shutters to the windows were
closed, but there was above the door
leading to the street small transom.
Through the dust and moisture-be-
grimed glass few rays of light pene-
trated, producing twilight gloom in
the apartment, but not SO deep that we
were unable to see.
One of the old counters still remained
and scattered over the floor were a
few empty boxes and barrels. Thought
of the white-haired old man whose form

the room. and I glanced over to the
corner with a fancy that he was here

Sarah was right. There had been a
doorway. through which I had stolen
many times for the purpose of filling
my pockets with raisins and dried fruit
There was none now. The wall of solid
masonry confronted us.
It really seemed matter of very

excited EXPLANATIONS about it, until
finally stopped her.
