RIPE FOR REVOLT
General Political Upheaval Is
About Due in Central
America.
Fall of BarriOS Will Probably
Only Be the Beginning of
the Matter.
Believed a Plot Was Incubating
to Overthrow the Mexican
Government.

New YORK, Sept 2S.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
The Central American republics, &C.
cording to Pan. American diplomats in
Washington, are undoubtedly on the
eve of q general political upheaval.
The success of the revolutionists in
Guatemala entailing the downfall of
Dictator Barrios and the elevation of
Prospero Morales to the presidency, is
believed to he inevitable and is likely to
of itself bring about revolution in sew.
eral of the sister republics. The i'm.
prisonment of the Costa Rican consul
general, Don Eduardo Beoche, by the
Nicaraguan authorities is regarded as a
serious breach of international courtesy
that can hardly prevent rupture.
The seeds of sedition are easily sown in
Honduras and the uneasiness in that
country seems likely to develop into
open revolt against President Bonilla,
as an indirect result of the success OF
the revolution in Guatemala. Salvador
alone of the Spanish American states
at present appears quiet and likely to
remain so.
A successful revolution in either of
the three republics composing the
Greater Republic of Central America
would mean the dissolution of the feeble
diplomatic bonds which now Unite
them, and from present indications
another coalition of this nature might
be difficult to bring about.

body of Benjamin Frank Lamar, a
prominent farmer living at Fairland, O.

box at the theater in front of which his
lead body was discovered at daylight.
He had large sum of money when last

NAY SEVER RELATIONS.

Programme of Uncle Sam, According to
Latest Report From Madrid.
MADRID, Sept. 28.-The arrival of
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has caused sensation.
The programme of the United States
has been ascertained. This does not
contemplate q declaration of war if
Spain rejects mediation, but, according
to report, an "ostentatious" proclama.
ton to the world of disapproval of the
Cuban regime by suspending diplomatic
relations with Spain and withdrawing
the United States minister. General
Woodford has declined to be inter-
viewed on the subject further than to
say that his conference with the Duke
of Tetuan, the foreign minister, was of
the most satisfactory character. The
Bitterness of Press and Public
has painfully impressed him, but he
hopes this will soon be allayed, as he
believes his mission favorable to Span
ish interests and cannot comprehend
that Spain could reject mediation de-
signed to end an impoverishing war.
He has not named time at which the
war must be terminated, but he hopes,
as the result of his tenders, that it will
be ended quickly. He believes the war
is incalculable loss upon the United
States and that it is impossible to pre-
vent the organization of filibustering
expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but
the trip was quite uneventful. A
party of gendarmes, commanded by a
sub-lieutenant, guarded the Southern
express on which he was passenger.
Secret Police Were at the Station,
and the prefect Of police was waiting
to escort y III to his hotel. The drive
through .Ae streets was marked by no
special incident, though several people
saluted him, receiving bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family
did not accompany him, but remained
behind the French frontier. General
Woodford explained that his rarty was
large one, requiring a large home.
The legation cannot be used as resi-
dence. General Woodford has already
engaged a box at the Royal Opera
house and has purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome, but received
official visits at the legation, where he
passed the entire morning.

SPANIARDS INCREDULOCS.

Fail to See What Austria Could DO in
Case of HOstilities.
LONDON, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch to The
Standard from Madrid says: The ru-
NOR of Austrian mediation between
Spain and the United States in the
event of hostilities has created surprise
mingled with much incredulity. Span
iards fail to see what Austria could do
unless seconded by naval powers, or at
least by the combined pacific action Of
several governments.

Gntee the Bonds.
The Farmer to Be Compelled to
Sell Their Barley at q
Lower Price.

New YORK, Sept. 2S. The Tribune
says: The masters trust is now said
to be permanently organized. All the
details are declared to be completed and
it is said that a tull outline of the or.
ganization will be made public at a
meeting to be held on Wednesday. For
the last ten days score or more of rep
resentatives OF large mailing houses in
the West have been in consultation
with Eastern concerns, and Wall street
men who have had charge of the finan-
cial end of the combination. Seymour
Scott, president OF the Scott Mailing
company of Lyons, N. Y, is said to be
the chief promoter of the organization,
and Elverton R. Chapman of the firm
of Moore & Schley, has looked after the
financial end of the matter.
Some trouble was encountered when
the project was broached from malsters
who did MT care to enter the combine,
but it is now announced that all those
who hesitated have been induced to
come in, and that the combination en-
braces every prominent mailing house
in the country and will represent an
annual product of $4,000, 900 bushels of
malt, upon which there is q profit of
over $l,OOO,OOO.
How Profits Will he Increased.
It is said that the organization i'll.
tends to increase profits by centralizing
the manufacture and putting stop to
the competitive buying of barley. In
stead OF operating all the small mailing
houses throughout the country, the
manufacture of malt is to be confined to
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Phila.
delphia and this city. At present com.
petitive buying of barley keeps it at an
artificial price, SO the promoters of the
organization say, and they think that
having the trust as about the only pur.
chaser, the farmers can be induced to
sell barley uniformly at a lower price,
Money is to be saved in operating ex.
penses also and SO the profits will be
increased to a considerable extent.
The name said to be selected is the
American Mailing company and the
capital stock is to be $l5,OO0,O00 pre-.
ferred, on which per cent dividend
will be guaranteed, and $4,000, 900
worth Of common. 1t is expected that
the stock will be snapped up eagerly.
The Cunard Steamship company is
mentioned as heavy investor and J..
P. Morgan & Co., are said to guarantee
the bonds. In the event OF the success
OF this undertaking the, ott-talked.of
beer trust may be organized.

ball at the time was not more than 8

sailing high in the air. 1t dropped

The game, which was played In the

Chicago all the way from to 20 yards
The right end Of the line proved to be
Michigan's weakest point. and when
Chicago was running with the ball most
of the gains were made there. Gardner
scored the first touchdown for Chicago
after a run of IS yards. Herschberger
kicked an easy goal. A little later
Herschberger successfully attempted q
place kick from the 17-yard line, which
ended the scoring for the first half.

A few minutes later Herschberger and
