War is to Be Added to the
COuntry's Other Ills.
1T is BARRIOS' FAULT.

in Office.
viii Be A Fight If He Stay and
A Fight If He Go.

San Francisco. Sept. 9.-News just re-
ceived from Guatemala is to the effect
that the country is in bad way fnan-
cially and politically.
During the last month the following
failures were reported: Fredico Chase,
$S0O,O0O; Lorenzo Eissen, s., ,70O, 900; En-
rique Mentze, 81, 300, 900; A. Scoli & Co.,
$1,000, 600; Bauer & Co., $500, 900; Victor
Matthews, $2,ooO,000; total, $7,OOO,0Oo.
All of these houses have been extern
sively engaged in the expectation of
coffee and other Central American pro-
ducts and the importation of merchan-
disc.
Besides a great number of firms have
gone under for less amounts. The total
is nearly $S,O0O,00O, but is a trifie mis-
leading because it represents Central
American money, which is very much
deprecated in value.
Reina Barrios, the man who was
president and declared himself dictator
of the republic a couple of months ago,
recent high handed action and his
cruelties.
There is a demand that Prosper Nor
ales, a lawyer and former minister of
war, be chosen to succeed Barrios. To
prevent this Barrios intends calling
session of the assembly very soon in or
der to have himself confirmed as die
tator. If he is successful, war is al
most certain, because the country will
not longer submit to his oppression. If
he is defeated, war is just as sure, be-
cause he cannot afford to be driven out
of office.
Ex-President Rarillos, who made it
possible for Barrios to succeed him, has
declared he will never again draw his
sword excepting to fight Morales, who
has threatened to expose his financial
operations.
Barrios is alleged to have killed
number of the most prominent citizens
of his country because he thought they
were not in sympathy with him Be
sides these 243 men of lesser prominence
are said. to have been slain by his order.

large amount of mining machinery. Two

party, who will search for new fisheries.

MONARCHY FOR FRANCE
An Important Change in the
Government is Brewing.

London, Sept. 9.-The Daily Chroni-
cle's Paris correspondent says that a
startling movement to revise the French
constitution is contemplated. The ma
tional assembly is to be convoked at
Versailles to consider a plan for the
modification of the Office of president
of the republic.
The Chronicle in an editorial says:
''If the foregoing is verified 1t is evil
dent that an attempt will be made to
take advantage of the visit of NJ. Faure
to st. Petersburg to bring the govern
ment nearer to a hereditary monarchy.
Possibly the Bonopartist and Orlean-
ist factions might be induced to support
such a movement, and there is no Gam
BETA to resist. But We doubt If any
serious attempt will be made. Mr..
Hanataux is the strongest man in the
ministry, but neither he nor NJ. Faure
is likely to be the pivot of such a
change"

Senator Harris Committee is Power.
less to Stop the u. P. Sale

Washington, Sept. 9.-Senator For
aker of Ohio and Senator Harris of
Kansas, who are members of sub
committee appointed by the Pacific
railroad committee of the senate last
May to inquire into the sinking fund of
the Union and Cen. Pacific railroads and
other minor questions, have held an in
formal meeting. In as much as the
committee was appointed before the
decree of the sale of the Union Pacific
was entered a Omaha, it was decided
that nothing could be done.
Senator Harris is anxious that the
decree shall not be carried out and the
road sold before the next session of con-
gress. If the attorney general should
enter an appeal from the Omaha decis-
ion, a question he is now considering, it
would carry the matter over until the
next session of congress. Senator For
aker saw the attorney general and he
ment with him at which the situation
will be discussed.

Ohio Gold Democrats Not so Sure

Columbus. O., Sept. 9.-The gold

TWO CENTS FOR A PAPER,

to it's cheapness alone. The rivals were
wrong, but the friendly experts who
predicted that first-class morning pa
per could not be produced for one cent
without loss were right, and the Mail
people have at length come to the same
conclusion. Owner Harms worth and
Editor Kennedy Jones admit that the
least any respectable morning paper
can be made for is two cents, and from
the 1st of January next that will be the
price of the Mail.

SERVANTS HOLD THE FORT
They Refuse to Vacate Closed Sum-
mer Hotel Until They Get
Their Wages

Cape May, N. J., Sept. 9-These are
dark times, indeed, in Congress hall.
All its guests have fled and only the
colored servants remain to face grim
hunger. The causes that conspired to
this doleful ending Of the season have
been felt up and down the coast, but
Congress hall was the first to be af-
fected- A week ago it NETS its crisis
in the payment of a water tax.
TO clear off this Indebtedness only
$500 was needed. 1t might have been
$4,000, for the way that Manager Cake
looked at it, so he announced on Tues
day night that the house would close in
the morning. Then he discreetIy with
drew from the uproar.
On the exodus that followed the col
ored servants looked aghast. To each
of them the pay for many weeks was
due, and with the going of the guests
they saw their money heeting. So, hast
lily forming committee, they retained
a lawyer, who advised them to stay.
mot going?" asked the manager.
mot till we are paid" answered the
committeeman.
The force trailed back to the servants
quarters, and there it has remained
since. As for Manager Cake, he still
has headquarters in the hotel, where he
has settled down to wait the going of
the help. The servants, however, say
they are determined to stick to the ho-
tel until they get their wages. None
of them has any money, many of them
have families in Philadelphia, and with
out their wages they would have to
walk there.
Fearful that the manager will play
some trick to oust them, the so cham
ber maids, walters, laundresseS, cooks
and kitchen servants took their exercise
in squads. In the matter of food. they
are in sore straits. At the beginning
of the siege they ravaged the store
rooms and laid hold of everything edi-
BILE. 1t went in couple of days. After
that the servants went out to their
meals till their money gave out, and
then they induced butchers and grocers
to give them enough to keep body and
soul together. These tradespeop1e expect
to be paid when the servants get their
money.

EniOined From Fixing Rates.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Sept. 9.-Judge
>CarIan in the federal court has issued
a temporary injunction restraining the
South Dakota railroad commission from
putting into effect the new schedule OF

have no recourse and he held that the
companies were entitled to a chance to
show that the rates were unreasonable
