BARRIOs HAS A MERCHANT SHOT

Belief That the Dictator VIII Engage
I'm Wholesale Slaughter.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September 25.-
The following dispatch was received here
yesterday:
'LIBERTADAD. San Salvador, Septem-
Der 2i--Barrios shot Juan Aparacio in
Quesaltenango on the day that the rev.
olutionists took San Marcos. telegram
received today by one OF the leading mer-
chants of this city gives the news that
Morales and his 1900 or 1900 victorious
troops are in Antigua"
Juan Aparac;o was the most prominent
exporter and importer in Central America,
whose house is represented in London, Paris
and New York This news was confirmed
by dispatch received from Aparacio's bus
iness house in New York. Members of the
Central American colony in this city say
that il Barrios is bold enough to cause the
execution Of so eminent man as Aparacio
he Will not hesitate to carry out wholesale
slaughter among the people who oppose
him.
A meeting will be held here today for
the purpose of sending a petition to the
State Department to take some action to
put ar end to the severe censorship now
prevailing in Guatemala, so people can re-
ceive news from their friends in that coun-
try. No cause is assigned in the news re-
ceived here for the killing Of Aparacio but
there is every reason to believe that he
was shot because he refused to give moral
and financial aid to Barrios.

GOLD DEMOCRATS, POLICY.

Chicago Platform In Ignored.

Will support the Party When the
Chicago Platform In Ignored.
The policy Of the gold democrats in the
coming fall elections has been outlined by
Chairman Bynum OF the national commit
tee to friends in this city. Mr.. Bynum Is
here on his way to Kentucky to assist the
gold democrats of that state in their CAM
paign. Mr.. Bynum has talked with num-
Der of leading gold democrats here. The
policy of the gold democrats was fixed some
time ago. They decided that they would
fight the silver democrats wherever the
Chicago platform was made the platform
Of the democratic hosts. That is why they
are fighting the silver democrats in Ken
lucky, and would fight them in Virginia ii
II would be any use.
MIR. Bynum intimates that the gold demo-
Gratis will stand by the democratic ticket in
Maryland this year, and will prove as loyal
the projects Of Tammany are carried out
the gold men of New York will support the
Tammany ticket in the mayoralty election.
1t is understood that Messrs. Whitney and
Flower have both informed 'Tammany that
If that organization will knife the Chicago
platform 1t will receive their support. Mr..
Bynum also talks as If it will receive his
support, together with that of the national
organization. The intimation Is strong that
Tammany intends to ignore the Chicago
platform, believing it will get more votes
from the gold democrats than 1t will lose
from the detection of extreme silver demo-
Gratis. 1t certainly believes that it will get
more financial support by this plan-,, ,

LONDON. September 25.--The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes dispa .ch
from Paris, giving the substance of an in
terview with Pierre Botkine, formerly Sec
ond secretary Of the Russian legation at
Washington, and now the Russian delegate
to the Bering sea conference at Washing
ton, who sails for New York from HAM
burg September 80, in which he is quoted
as saying he does not contemplate any Diff
Guilty In coming to an agreement on the
sealing question. as he believes the excel
lent reports Of Messrs. Jordan Thompson
and Grebintsky will enable the delegates
to arrive at prompt and friendly under
atanding.
NJ. Botkine expects the conference to
last six weeks. and he anticipates that the
results will be the signing Of treaty en-
bracing the concessions which each OF the
four powers Is inclined to make There is
every reason. he adds. why Great Britain

M'IEAN IS DISSATISFIED
Thinks Silver is Made Too Prominent in the
Ohio Fight.
1t is Said That He Believes the Issue
is Not as strong as Might BE
Democrats Divided.

Privat. re ports from sOhio Indicate that
the Mclean people are not altogether sat
isfied with the prominence given to the
silver issue in Oiio. During the Chicago
convention Mr.. Mclean, WHO ives then un-
derstood to be a candidate for the vice
presidency, was out very strongly for sill
yer. His sincerity was not questioned then
nor since. He was for silver when the
state convention met and that issue was
made prominent.
1t is said however, that he is becoming
apprehensive that this Issue is not as
strong as he would like for such a con-
test as is being made in oaio. especially
since the advent of prosperity, and that
his Heutenants want to give less prom
inence to 1t and make the fight chiefly
against "Hannaism."
Hanna's personality has entered strongly
into the fight on the republican side, and
1t is claimed by democrats>that the Junior
erator from Ohio is unpopular.
!, On the subject of the issue there appears
to he some disagreement between demo-
Gratis in the state. Th. cs4didate for gov
ernor, as shown in his opening address,
mas made the money question first and
foremost, and his friends: are working on
those lines, and it is SAID privately that
whatever unpcpularity may attach to Mr.:
Hannas name Is sufficiently counteracted
by the presence of Mr.. AIcLean's person
ality in the hight for the senatorship.
The result is said to be that the demo-
Gratis are divided into practically two lines
of campaign, one trying to hedge ON the
money question and concentrating their
attack on Hanna, and the. other adhering
to the money question and trying to ge;
out from under the shadow of Mr. Nc
Leans candidacy for the Senate. In the
are having some trouble in Hamilton couE-
ty, are perfectly confident Of success

THE AIR MOTOR TESTS
Inspector Bailey Reports Them as Being
Eminently Satisfactory.
Comment Concerning the Route
Adopted for the Experiments-Prob-
able Action Of mmfssioners.

Inspector Bailey, the Districts represen-
tative who accompanies the air motor on
its four-day scheduled run, furnishes a
daily report of the trips as made. Thus far
tney nave been eminently satisfactory. he
says, although the cars have used a large
excess of air over that stated by the COM
pany as necessary. The tests will be COM
pleted tomorrow. and early next week it is
understood the Commissioners will give the
company permission to equip its road with
air motors.
Ihere has been some comment, among
those who have observed the progress OF
these tests. concerning the route along
which the car has been run on the schedule
experiment. The regular line of the Eek
ington road. north and south, leads from
the power house in lexington to the cor
ner OF 9Th and B streets northwest. and
thus includes the steep hill on Louisiana
avenue. This route is taken by all the
morse cars on the north and south branch
OF the road, and was recently used in the
test of the motor for its capacity to haul a
disabled car to the power house.
For some reason not yet explained the
car has not since been sent over the regu-
lar line, with its hill and curves but has
been switched Uf from this line at the cor
Eer OF 9Th and G streets and run thence
TO the treasury and return. This has in
VoiVeo snghtly longer run,s but it has
not required great an expenditure of
powe. as the regular run to the corner OF
9TH and B streets.
Inasmuch as the run straight to the
market corner AUST be made as part of
the schedule performance of the cars OF
one or the other of the two branches of
tnls road, II 1t should be equipped wit h
the air cars, there is good deal of in
terest among those who are following the
course of the experiments as to whether
df,.o
schedule can lie regarded by the Commis-
sioners as reliably indicative of the actual
working capacity Of the motor. This treas
ury route was followed by the car in the
course of the original experiments in the
spring and early summer. because, II was
stated by the company. 1t afforded greater
convenience to the patrons of the line. a.
majority Of whom go westward from this
transfer point to reach the departmental
buildings. The later tests. however, which
were ordered by the Commissioners for
their own Information, are intended to
serve the public only incidentally.

-SHAMOkIN,. Pa, September 25.4The
bodies of Arthur w. May, aged txenty-
four years, and Miss Cora KasemaH, aged
eighteen years, both of Shamokin, were
found in the blacksmith shop of Joseph
Smink this morning. May had shot his

had been employed by Mr.. Smink.
The couple had been lovers for some
time, ana last week they arranged to go
away and be quietly married. The parents
of he young woman objected to the mar
riage. and this caused postponement.
Being thus opposed blythe parents of the
girl, the young couple, evidently made up
their minds to end their Troubles by dying
together. Thsy met last night, and, it is
supposed. made all arrangements to carry
out their terrible plan.ii'
The girlleft her home early this morn
ing and went direct to the blacksmith shop,
where May was in waiting. The couple
went into the second story of the building
Tie first news of the doiible tragedy >Has
