the interest of General Morales, the leader
of the revolutionary forces.
Lopez is the man that publicly de-
nounced President Barrios as thief and
then proceeded to advance proofs OF his
charge. That was several months ago
when Lopez was mem Der of the Guate
malan Con sress.
Referring to the occasion Lopez said
yesterday: "As soon as Barrios heard of
my speech in Congress he sent some of
his men TO watch me. He sent one man
to my servant with an offer of a large re-

Before Lopez left the country he took
the precsution to sign all his property
over to his American partner, and it has
not been coniscated.
Lopez discredits the statements and the
sincerity of Consul-G General CarriIlo, who
he asserts was not so very long ago a pro-

politicians criticized it sharply. Every

pie question whether the solution of The
crisis does not show Sagasta could not
control the old standing rivalries among
the Liberal front rank of politicians in
this crisis. Like all Spanish ministerial
cries much more is going On behind the
scenes than appears on the surface. One
thing, however, must be said, and it is
that both Sagasta and the Queen Regent
show much sincerity and determination
in the approaching Cuban question. 1t
remains to be seen whether the Liberal
party will promp pity assist Saga sta, Moret
M auret and Gamazo in The sincere execu-
tion of the home-rule policy.
But Sa gasta seems quite confident thai
he will hurry the party along with him.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 5-"Democ-

prominent Democrat tonight 10 The
CALL correspondents. Whether it be an
event OF national character or one IN

prejudice or bundering stupidity, never
takes advantage of a situation when pre-.
sented TO it.

"Do you think Leonard strongP' asked
The CALL correspondent.
"Strong2 No. Leonard is good fellow
and all that, but he is not the man the
people wanted to run against Land. and
you know it.
With this the good old Democrat
brought his observations to close. but
his declarations, nevertheless, placed the
present political situation in Sacramento
in a nutshell.
While Leonard may have received the
nomination from the hands of a duly or.
ganized and accredited convention ,of
De mocrats, the delegates were appointed
by the CITY central committee, and manv
hints are heard to the effect that the nom.
ination of a Democrat of strength was
never intended. There is great disgust
and upon this tidal wave of Indignation
the weather beaten bark of Russ Stephens
is about to be launched. through the will.
ing hands of those who are now being
asked to sign his petition.
For years and years and years Russ
Stephens lowered above his fellow Demo.

word was law and his personality domi-
mated in everything Democratic, but las.

to free silver and Bryan, and on election
day placed little red cross after each and
every one of the Mckinley electors.
The question now arises among the
Democrats, if Russ is elected will bis ad-

good prominent citizens OF 10th parties.
His candidacy is being urge by those
who at first thought would naturally
stand back of Hubbard, and their deser.
ton of Hubbard is attributed 10 the fact
that the Citizens Association is now
headed by DR.. Dixon. At any rate the
forces of Leonard are weak, the Hubbard
contingent Is fast dissolvinc, the Stephens
wave has not gathered. and away off to

OLD gentleman VINO views the conten-
tions and strife going on with compla-
cence, and his nameis William Land.
Every day that passes strengthens him
in his intrenchment of honor and intey-
rity. Every day that passes brings many
Republicans to the realization that
the party that has just brought a great
nation out of despondency and decline
can safely be trusted in the healthful pro-
motion of municipal affairs.
In the various districts wherein trustees
are to be elected the same rule holds good.
Everything else being equal, the Repub-
licans are going 10 get the best of it, and
as in eac case the Republican nominees
will profit from any kind of comparison.
there will not be one of them defeated.

The united congregation OF the old and
nav Trinity churches yesterday Joined in
the dedication festival Of the church erec-
ted 100 years ago. 1t was a most enjoyable
religions occasion. The services were
conducted by the Rev. II. Ashton Henry,
rector of Trinity Church, and the Rev. NJ.
Is Dunlap of Old Swedes.
The annual sermon was preached BY the
Rev Edward S De G. Tompkins, NJ. A.,
OF the Diocese Of Albany. The words
chosen for the text were found in Psalms
los. |: 20 God, my heart Is fixed. | will
sing and give praise even with my glory."
Among some other remarks DIR. Tompkins
made the following:
There are three classes of people in tho
world, One class Is simply silent; they
lack even the ability to DO wicked. Their
characters lack positivGness They sound
like tina loose string Of u violin if they
sound ut all, and give dull twang moro
pitlablo than noise, for 1t p0rtrays their
utter w0rthle5sncss. The Cleverest and
best tones always come from strings most
tightly drawn.
The second class is composed Of people
who autagOnize the good In the world, in
short those who have drifted from possible
usefulness into helpless sin, If a man Is
to be man it is well for him to be known
and heard, for it Is by the greatest cxer-
ton that he can make himself felt A

A priWtcly printed volume about tho

while he went into tho club. A minute or
two later out came real bishop, who

How the Tartar Hordss Overran Persis
and Turkey.
10 Tho St Nicholas series Of articles on
Historic Dwarfs," by Mary Shears Rob-
erts, there is paper on Casan, who was
In the service of the great Genghis Khan.
Mrs Roberts says Of the occurrence that
led to the Tartar invasion of Europe;
Genghis Carried on his victorious battles
toward the west until he reached the ter
ritories Of the mighty sultan Of Khuarezm.
Here he halted, having no immediate de.
sire to go beyond these limits. He sent
ENJOYS with presents and peaceful mes
sage to Mohammed, the shah, and but for
an unfortunate occurrence the Mongol
armies would probably never have entered
Europe.
soon after the interchange of civilities
between the two sovereigns, some of the
snitan's subjects plundered caravan Of
Tartar merchants, and Genghis demanded
satisfaction for tho outrage. Instead Of
giving up the chief offender, as Genghis
required, the shah beheaded the Mongol
envoy and sent back his attendants with
out their Boards This was an insult that
must be avenged, and soon tho two en-
pires began great preparations for war.
The sultan was master of many coun-
tries, among which were Persia and much
OF India. He collected an enormous army,
but In case of failure he had no other re-
cruits to fall back upon. Genghis, with
his overpowering troops, rushed on all
parts of Khuarezm at once. They swept
from city to city, leaving nothing behind
them but ashes and ruins. The sultans
armies were almost always defeated Mu-
halnmad, driven from one extremity to
another, escaped to an island in the Cas-
plan seq, where he died in sickness and
despair, leaving what remained of his en-
pire to his son Jalaluddin. Julaluddin
was brave and courageous, and did all
that man could do to avenge his fathers
death and to prop up his tottering throne
Hemmed in by the loss of city after city,
he was at last driven to the banks of the
Indus. Here was fought desperate bat
tie. The Tartars, led by Genghis Khan in
person (whom little Casan always follow
ed), far outnumbered the Turks. The
mighty army of the sultan had been re-
duoed to few hundred men, who fought
with undaunted courage till forced to foe. |
Jalaluddin, knowing that all was lost,
stripped himself of his armor, threw away |
all his arms save his bow, culver and |
sword, and mounting fresh horse
plunged into the river go feet below. With
admiring gaze Genghis and Casan stood
watching the fearless horseman.
In the middle Of the stream he turned
and emptied his quiver In defiance of his
enemy, and soon after was seen to mount
the opposite bank. He passed the night
in tree to keep clear of the wild beasts.
Genghis sent men to pursue him, but he
escaped to Delhi. He managed to recruit
q few soldiers from the beaten Turks, but
his spirit was broken. He could not en-
dure exile, and after many misfortunes he
returned to his own country and died in
obscurity More than six centuries have
passed away, and still the rayagcs of the
great Khuarezm war have not been entire
ly repaired.
