AEninat Hnrrion,a 99. 900.

SAN Francisco. Nov. Seen. Daniel Fuentes.
leader of the recent revolution in Guatemala,
arrived to-day on the steamer from Mexico.
Fuentes admits the complete defeat Of his plans,
but attributes his failure to lack Of men and
equipment. He says at no time did he have
over 5000 men, poorly armed and drilled, while
Barrios had $50 regular soldiers. Fuentes
says the crisis came after the capture of MEAL
tenango. His army was not able to hold what
they had captured when Barrios rushed thou
sands Of fresh troops against them.
He declares. however. that the feeling is still
bitter against Barrios, and he doubts whether
his Administration can last much longer.
Fuentcs. who is a brother-in-law of Barrios.
took refuge in Tapachula, but Diaz ntimated
that he had better move on. as he was too near
the border.

Special Cable Despotch TO THE Srs.
LONDON, Nov. s.-A despatch to the Standard
from Berlin says that NJ. Czcrnik. a Russian
chemist, has examined two minerals found in
the Caucasus which have apparently never be-
fore been analysed.
One OF these minerals is a kind OF coal ashes,
from which NJ. Czernik obtained a considerable
quantity Of helium and a quantity of the rare
earths which are employed in the manufacture
OF the mantels used in incandescent gas light
ing.
The other mineral is called cerite. 1t consists
mainly of argon. NJ. Czernik's discovery is re-
markable from the fact that the new elements.
helium and argon. have never previously been
found as minerals in a pure state, but always in
combination with other elements.

DE ARM1Tr LOST THE CONTRACT.
His Bid the Lowest, but WorLlnEmen Said Il

~PITTsBURG. Nov. s.-The City Councils to-
day rejected the bid OF the New York and Cleve.
land Gas Coal Company for supplying coal to
the CITY water works. This is the company OF
which w. =. De Armitt il President. and is tho
only coal company in the Pittsbure district
against whom the miners are still striking.
Dc Armltt's bid was the lowest, but the United
Labor League and other workingmen's unions
protested to the Councils that 1t was not the
best and most responsible bid" inasmuch rs
the miners organizations still maintained the
strike against DE Armitt and might prevent
him from supplying the coal. The strike against
De Armitt four years ago cost the city 800. 900
more than the contract price, as II required that
amount OF money to pay for the petroleum
needed to make up for the scarcity OF coal.

View Neighbors Moving In.

From the Boston Globe.
New neighbors moving in, and all the wo-
men in a flutte~,
AS, peeping out between the Stats of eV'ry
close drawn shutter.
Their views upon the vans contents be-
meath their breath they utter
They criticise the carpets, couches, tables,
chairs and presses;
They comment on the bedsprings and the
stuffing of mattresses,
And, as TO the whole outfits worth, ex-
change the widest guesses
From what they see they calculate the in
come and condition
OF those who're coming in-their antece-
dents and position,
And whether twill be safe to give them
social recognition.
They greet a baby carriage with righteous
indignation,
To which a sled or doll house is a grievous
aggravation,
Their street-they think-now holds near
all the children in creation.
It vexes them to see the signs of poverty
or riches
If they themselves are neither rich nor
poor-they don't know which is
The worse, new neighbors husbands in
silk stockings or patched breeches.
Their tongues wag on and hack and rend,
as pitiless as sabers,
Though here and there some simple soul
will share the strangers labors-
Some simple soul, who as herself, loves
cen unknown new neighbors.

Last spring, says the Washington cor
respondence of the Chicago Times-Her-
aid, two of the assistant Justices Of the
supreme court were requested by Chief
Justice Fuller 10 coach" Justice Field
on a court decision in which the aged
and infirm jurist was TO take part. They
were not, Of course, 20 attempt 20 inf1u-
ence his opinion, but We're 10 save him all
the work they could and give him the
benefit of their researches among the au-
thorties. The TWO justices called one
night a Mr.. FIELDS house and found the
veteran in an unusually lethargic condi-
ton. He sat in a big armchair, mis- head
bowed down upon his breast, his eyes
closed. It was with difficulty that he re-
cognized his callers and exchanged few
words with them. Then his eyes closed
again, and the two justices looked at one
another as if TO inquire what should be
done next
Finally one of the visitors took from his
pocket some memoranda he had prepared
on the case in hand. 1t was really the
basis of his own conclusions, and contain
ed a statement of the points involved, ci-
tations from decisions bearing on them,
and an exposition of the philosophy of
the law leading to the conclusion. He ask
ed permission TO read this TO Justice Field,
and taking silence as consent proceeded
10 read aloud. For some minutes Justice
Fields head lay StiH upon MS breast. Ills
eyes remained closed. No one in the room
could be sure that he understood a word
that was uttered.
But presently the old justice lifted his
head and opened his eyes. 1t seemed thai
the legal phrases, the constitutional argu-
ments, the statements of law so familiar
through all these years to his mind had
at last reused the sleeping brain TO ac-
tivity. Ins another moment or two jus
tice Field raised his right hand, warm
ingly.
Read that again" he commanded.
When the passage had been reread the
veteran jurist exclaimed:
That is not right. That is not good law.
You err yhen YOU say so-and-so.'
And then Mr.. Field. now thoroughly
reused, delivered an argument which for
depth, clearness and force astonished both
his listeners. This DONE he relapsed into
his former coma ose condition. When the
two visitors gathered up their papers and
left the room Justice Field was still
asleep He did not know when they left.
The sequel of this little story is the most
interesting part of it. When the two JUS
tees compared notes on their way down
town together they were both forced to
admit that Justice Field was right. He
had assaulted their positions so success
fully that they were forced 10 abandon II.
And in this way, as a matter of fact the
aged jurist really overturned a decision or
the court, for other justices who agreed
| with these two We're also forced to change
their views when the argument advanced
by Mr.. Field were reported to them by
| their colleagues.

At a dinner at the Windsor hotel New
York, a few evenings ago. Col. Waring,
of house drainage and street cleaning
fame, INDUCED in some speculations in re-
spect to the future of Greater New York.
Among other things, he said that, accord
ing to his figuring, there would be 10000
900 of people in that city and its imme-
date vicinity before the end of the twen-
tieth century. Long Island, he predicted,
would be covered with suburban homes,
all easily and quickly reached by some
effective method of rapid transit. Every
body who could get a home outside of New
York city proper would do so. and that
part of Greater New York would be crowd
ed with architectural monstrosities which
would be given up wholly to business
problem would be, how to supply the
10 100000 of people with water. The rivers
available for water supply and the GRO
ton water shed would not begin to meet
the demand.
Col. Waring said the problem might be
solved by using the water over and over.
purifying 1t each time after being used.
He expressed his idea as follows; per
haps in time, instead of spending millions
on watersheds, the city will furnish COM
pressed air power to pump the water al
ready used to the roofs of the houses,
where, received in clsterns. 1t may be
filtered and purified"
In reference to transportation Col. War
ing said he believed that within twenty
years the horse would have wholly disap-
peared from the streets of Greater New
York. His place would be taken by the
automotor carriage. The disappearance of
the horse would aid greatly in solving the
street cleaning problem.
Great things are going to be seen in the
next century, and 1t is not improbable
that Col. Warnings speculations are some
where near the truth.
