NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. %. - The
Herald's Panama cable says; Reports
from Herald CORES pondents in San Sal
vador slate that President Gutierrez has
sent large force of troops to the Guate-
malan frontier, owing to the uprising
against President Barr:os in the depart
ments Of Jutiapa and Chlquimula, on the
eastern boundary of Guatemala. This
is the first report OF open defiance of the
President in this district during the pres
ent troubles, and adds greatly to the
strength of the rebel movement. There
now seems little doubt, says the CORE
spondent, that Barrios' government is
matter of days. HIS forces cannot
cope with the revolutionary movement
now in progress IN The southeastern de-
partments in addition to the active re bel
movement around QuezaItenango.

The REPUBLICAN majority IN the U.
S. House of Representatives will not
even allow the democratic minority
therein to express opposition to any OF
its proposed measures; that in the SEN
ate does let the democratic minority
there talk, but contents itself with
replying, "what are you going to do
about it." and with casting solid vote
against every amendment to any OF its
bills that minority may advocate. The
republican majority in Congress Is set
in its ways; it is pursuing the same auto
cratic and unreasonable course now that
it did before the commencement of the
war between the States, and subse-
quently, when in the House it expell-
ed fairly elected Southern white mem
beers, in order TO give their seats to ne
groes who were not elected, and cried
out, "Give US another Niger" But al
things must come to an end, and the
South has learned to be patient, and to
bide its time. 1t is suffering less now
than any other section, and present in
dications are that the next dance O.
death in this country will not be hello

FAY TEMPLEToN's INHERITANCE
By decision of Justice Freedman in the
Supreme Court of New York, yesterday
the will Of Howell Osborne was admit
ted to probate. The will bequeathed
800, 900 to Fay Templeton, the actress,
whom he married, despite the provi-
sion in his mothers will forbidding
that in the event of her sons death any
portion of legacy of 100000 which
she gave him should descend to "the
issue Of any marriage between him and
wife who had sung or danced pro.
fessionally." In addition to this Mrs.
Osborne bequeathed to her son
$400, 900 in trust during his lifetime on
condition that he would not oppose the
probate of the will. Osborne spent his
money rapidly, and it is doubtful
whether his estate is now worth $780,
600. bis executor brought the suit
just decided to prevent possible con-
test of MIR. Osborn's will. 1t is probable
