The Fall OF His Government Daily
Expected.


New York, Sept. pa dispatch TO
the Herald from Panama, says:
Reports from the Herald's cores
pondent in San Salvador state that
President Guiterraz has sent large
force of troops to the Guatemalan
frontier, owing to uprisings against
President Barrios in the departments
of Jutiahpah and Chiquimula. the
eastern boundaries of Guatemala. The
Salvadorean troops so merely to pre-
vent an invasion.
This is the first step of open defiance
of the president in this district during
the present troubles and adds greatly
to the strength of the rebel movement.
There now seems little doubt, says
the correspondent, that the fall of the
Barrios government is a matter Of
days. His forces cannot cope with the
revolutionary movement now in pro-
gress in the Southeastern departments
in addition to the active rebel move
ment around Quezaltenango.

IRELAND ON LIBERTY.
The Archbishop Tells What Rome
Allows.

AllOMS.
st. Cloud, Mimi, Sept. 29.-In the
course of a sermon at the installation
of Bishop Trobec, the new bishop of
st. Cloud, Archbishop Ireland today,
after calling attention to the many ma
tionalities in the diocese of st. Cloud,
said:
ut has sometimes been said that
there is among Catholics in America
a diversity of opinion as to the use
within the Catholic church of foreign
languages. There is no diversity of
opinion. Americans and Catholics
will before this altar of truth believe
and assert that men are free to speak
what language they will, to retain
what memories they will, provided
that always American and the Ian
guage of American and American in
stitutions obtain their best loyalty.
Catholics in America may kneel before
their God and pray in the language
that best expresses their emotions.
"The holy Roman Catholic church
within recent times has promulgated
in this regard the law of liberty by
sending a message from the eternal
city that Catholics in America may
speak and practice their religious du-
ties in the language they may choose.
The decree of Rome proclaims that
immigrants and their children are at
liberty if the will to join parishes
where the English language is spoken.
by Implication the decree allows to
them the liberty to speak and practice
their religious duties in other languag-
es If they prefer those languages"

THE MALT COMBINE.
Will Not Have Things All Its own
Way


Way.
New York, Sept. 29.-The American
Mailing company. organized TO manu-
facture and deal in malt with an au-
thorized capital of s30,O00,O00 has just
been incorporated at Trenton, n. j. In
its attempt to control the malt output
of the country the organization is like
ly to meet with opposition. Though
it will control the great mailing houses
in the west, only five concerns in New
York state, it is said, have gone into
the combine. These are Charles
Chandler, of this city, the Brooklyn
Mailing company of Brooklyn; Chas.
A Garner, of Syracuse; c. G. Cutley,
of Buffalo, and the w. d. Matthews
Mailing company, of Leroy. The
last named firm Joined the combina-
ton this week. The other five large
mailing companies in this state APP
parently have little fear that it can
succeed. In this city the company Is
likely to find wide-awake opponents
in Neidlinger & Sons and Charles C.
Clausen. Adam Neidlinger the head
of Neidlinger & Sons, said:
1T is the same old story Of the west
trying to manage the east. The west
ern masters succeeded in having a
prohibitive duty of 30 per cent. placed
on Canadian barley so that we east
ern masters have to find customers
in the west. We were the first eastern
concern invited to join the combina-
ton, but / am satisfied to manage my
own business with the aid of my son.
THAT this syndicate is going to put
down the price of barley is foolish.
Malt has been going up recently, but
it is on account OF the poor crop of
barley and not on account of the COM
bine."
There are 81 breweries in this city
and forty in Brooklyn, nearly all of
which buy their malt in the local mar
ket. Many believe the syndicate will
find it hard to crowd out the local
masters.
