1T Is not surprising that Mr.. Mc.
hlnley should be worried about
what to say in his annual message
TO Congress about the Dingley
tariff, which was, according to its
supporters, TO be such revenue
produo'r tlf't the receipts OF the
government were TO speedily cx-
"ceed us expenditures. The fncts
are unsatisfactory enough to worry
him aud every other supporter OF
the Dlngley law. Since. the first OF
July the Treasury deficit has been
more than $40. 900, 900. The right
thing for Mr.. Mckinley to do
would be to come out like man
ana say that the present. tariff had
failed to provide sufficient rev.
enue, and to ask Congress to pro.
vide other means of raising revenue.
either by amending the tariff law
or 10y imposing additional taxation.
but he will hardly dare to do that.
as 1T would be an Acknowledgement
OF error upon the part of himself
aud those who imposed the Ding.
ley tariff upon the country. 1t is
proable that he Will wind nm bv
sticking to the original Dingley
tarlH, that the tariff will, in time.
produce revenue sufficient to meet
the public expenditures, and let il
go at that, trusting to time. cir.
cumstances and luck to furnish
some way of getting himself and
party out Of the tariff hole.
Ex Secretary Foster met the fuIl
expectations of his enemies, who
had predicted from the beginning
that he would make mess of the
sealing negotiations, SO far as En-.
gland was concerned. He has done
the very thing. although he is
charged with having made some
questionable statements about rec.
lproclty. and other things to Sir
Wllfred Lanrier, Premier of Can

the plan arranged by them with Leon
del Castilli. The latter is now close to
Guatemala, and expects to enter the
capital within the next six days. As
soon as the moment arrives to strike
the blow, the plan of the revolution
lists is to act in concert and engage
the divided forces OF Barrios stimuli
taneously.
Reports have also reached this city
OF extreme measures taken by Bar
