FRUSTRATED THE PLOT.
PRESIDENT CUESTAS ARREST
ED DIR. HERRERA Y oBEs,
Adherents of the Old Corrupt Reg
ime Plotted to Kidnap the
President.

MONTEVIDEO, Nov. 21.-The public
is recovering from the effects of the
panic that followed the announcement
last FRIDAY of the arrest of DR.. Her.
rera Obes by President Cuestas and
the latter's assumption that he was aim
ing at his overthrow by force There
has been no outbreak and the city to-
day is tranquil.
LONDON, Nov. PA dispatch from
Montevideo to the Times says:
On Friday evening last the Govern
ment frustrated plot of the adherents
of ex-President Herrera Obes in the
Legislature to kidnaD and depose Senior
CGestas. who succeeded to the Presi-
dency ad interim after the assassina-
ton of Senor Borda The discovery of
this plot has produced strong popular
demonstrations in favor of Senor Cues
tas, whose candidature for the Presi-
deney is now formally proclaimed by
the Blancos and by all parties except
the adherents of the old regime.
The latter, who, owing to the corrupt
electioneering methods they have used,
constitute large majority in the Legis-
lature. refuse to accept Senior Cuestas
and threaten to elect a retrogreSsive
President. The dissolution of the
chamber, which is generally regarded as
the only step that will save the country
from disaster and revolution would be
warmly approved by public opinion and
the army would probably support Senor
Cuestas against both chambers. which
would then be DowerlesS. Senor Cues
tas declares his determination to stand
by the people. to give them honest and
economical government and to protect
foreign interests and asserts that for
eign residents as we'll as natives should
be consulted on public affairs and the
selection of a President.

TO STUDY THE CONDITIONS.
MENDIZ, A LIBERAL LEADER
ARRIVES IN CUBA.
Confer With Him
and Encourage His Hopes of
Solving the Question.

HAVANA, Nov. 21.-Senor Jose Ca
naljas y Mendez, editor of s'El Heraldo"
of Madrid. one of the leaders of the
Spanish Liberals, and former Cabinet
Minister Immediately after his arrival
land, visited the authorities. Later he
was entertained at banquet and has
already had many conferences with
leading representatives of the various
parties. He had advised the Conserva
tives to acknowledge the good faith of
the Governments intention and declara-
tions with reference TO the new regime.
Last night Senor Canaljas exchanged
views with the Autonomists. The con-
ference was We'll attended and the pro-
cedings We're of the most cordial char
acter. Senor GalveZ. the President of
the Autonomist party, traced the his
tory of the party and the persecution it
had suffered for its loyalty to its prin-
ciples.
He said he had never made himself
a partisan of General Weyler's political
or military policy. He had confined
himself to indicating his gratitude when
General Weyler released the imprisoned
Autonomists. In his opinion signs of
favorable reaction were now evident
and he believed that the announcement
of the regime would lead to thorough
reorganization of the Autonomist party
as soon as sufficient guarantees were Of
fered for the establishment of the new
regime.
The Autonomist party would then
demonstrate it's Importance and infiu-
ence Senior Galvez also indicated that
the conduct of CaDtain-General Blanco
thus far met with his full appreciation.
Senior Galvez and Senor Canaljas
agree in thinking that the serious eco
nomical problem confronting the coun-
try will be solved by autonomy, but the
study of the question is rendered addi-
tionally difficult by the want of sta
tistics and data necessary to prepare
definite scheme of solution.
lei Pals" the Autonomist organ, says
to-day that the evident conviction OF
Senior Canaljas is not inconsistent with
the promises of Senior Sagasta. 1t con-
siders the action of Senor Canal1as In
coming here as entirely in order, ap-
pIauds his patriotism and intellectual
gifts and expresses the hope that ne
will soon visit other parts of the islano.
This he expects to do, beginning Win
the province of Pinar Del Rio. He VIII
accompany the Spanish columns IN
their operations.

MIDNIGHT LAW-BREAKERs.
Two Men Indulge in a Wild Ride
Through the City.

Shortly before ] o'clock this morning
TWO young men in livery stable buggy
dashed down K street as fast as they
could make the horse travel by a lib
eral use Of the whip, supplemented by
shouts and wells.
Ihey drove to Front street, turned and
went back through K street at the same
mad speed. Police Captain Fisher, Of
ncer Talbot and Special Officer Almos
got together between Fifth and Sixth
streets and attempted to stop the wild
riders on their return trip. The officers
lined up across the street and com
manded the men to halt. but they only
laid the whip on their horse all the
harder.
The horse. however, did slacken his
speed little as he neared the officers,
and Captain Fisher and Amos, on either
side of the buggy, grasped and at
tempted to hold the occupants or drag
them from the vehicle. AS they refused
to stop, and whipped up the horse
Fisher struck at the one nearest him
with his club but the wrist-looD broke
and the club caromed from the fellows
head into the bottom of the buggy.
Almos had got between the wheels in
the effort to get the other man, but the
horse was started UP 80 rapidly that
he had to cling to the side of the buggy
to save himself. In this manner he was
carried along, or dragged, for several
yards before he could free himself from
the wheels. and 1t was thought he must
have been badly hurt. The chief dam
age done, however, was to his clothing
on which he is out several dollars.
The men in the buggy continued their
wild ride UP the street and when last
seen they were turning into Ninth street.
In the meantime the patrol wagon
came UP from the station, but it was too
late.
There will be little difficulty in identi-
fying the law-bre akers to-day, 1t is
thought, and the prospect Is that they
will be hauled up in the Police Court and
prosecuted

The water in the canyon was many
feet higher than ever known before,
washing the entire track away About
the only evidence left that railroad
was ever built there are the six tunnels
The road will not be operated this
winter east of Granite Falls.
In all probability the road will not
be rebuilt through the canyons. The

miles of road almost entirely destroyed.
With the most favorable weather the
road cannot be repaired before the 10th

Thorough Measures by the Ma

It and Struggle for Existence In
the Po1itic-Commercia Sphere.

VIENNA, Nov 21.-Count Golouch-

of Foreign Affairs, in his annual ad-
dress yesterday before the Austrian
and Hungarian delegations, when max
ing an appeal TO all Europe to take ad-
vantage Of the present era of peace
and join closely for the vigorous de-
fense of conditions common to Euro
pean countries, as against the crushing
competition of transatlantic nations, %
said.
"A turning point has been reached
in European developments which calls
for the unremitting attention of Gov
ernments The great problems of ma

pressing every year, are no longer mat

acting measures, if the vital interests
of the peoples of Europe are not to be
gravely compromised.
I'VE must fight shoulder to shoulder
selves for the struggles with the means
at our disposal. Just as the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries were absorb

of nationality, so will the twentieth

may the epoch of peaceful develop

and devoting ourselves chiefly to this
end
EXCITES GREAT INTEREST.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The Berlin cor
respondent Of the Daily Chronicle"
says:
Count Golouchowskis statement with
reference to the struggle with America
has excited the most widespread inter
est here. 1t is believed that before he
made public so remarkable an enuncia-
tion of policy, he had the consent of
the other powers. with the exception of
England. and spoke as the mouthpiece
Of those Governments.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle" says:
Count Golouchowski's appeal TO Eu-
rope to unite against trans-oceanic
countries is regarded rather as a pla-
tonic desire than a concrete programme.
Thus far no practical attempt in that
direction is intended, at least not by

PITTSBURG, Nov. 21.-Pittsburg has
perhaps never been the scene of a more
notable religious gathering than the
Methodist Church Congress, which be-
gan six days session at Christ Church
this morning. In conception, purpose
and treatment it is unique in ecclesias
tical annals and marks an epoch in re-
ligious history.
The call for the congress, which was
signed by Bishops Vincent, Nindo and
Fitzgerald and many prominent Metho-
dist educators. says:
THE congress does not propose to in
vite or favor destructive criticism Of ex-
listing Institutions, but simply to bring
out from persons representing different
phases of intellectual activity a frank
expression as to whether the church can
meet any more fully than it does the
demands of our times, and if SO. wherein
its activities may be modified or di-
rected to advantage. The congress will
not concern itself with questions of
church policy, but with issues bearing
upon the relation of the church to the
thought and life of the people as af-
fected by current scientific and literary
teachings. The congress will aim to
tendencies of the current scientific and
literary teachings and also suggestions
as to the best service to be rendered by
the church in interpreting those ten
denotes for the spiritual and intellectual
advantage of it's followers.
The list of speakers who will attend
the congress includes the names of
many of the brightest men in the de-
nomination and the topics announced
for discussion are such as will doubtless
prove attractive to all thinkers without
regard to their UNCONVENTIONAL affilia-
tions.
Delegates from all parts of the coun-
try will be present. The inaugural ses-
sion was auspicious and evinced the
popular favor with which the movement
has been received
Bishop John Vincent of ChautauQua
fame, who will preside over the con-
gress. preached this morning to an au-
dience that packed Christ Church to the
doors. His text was: BE We doers of
the word and not hearers only, deluding
your own slaves
The sermon, which occupied about an
hour in it's delivery, was remarkable
exhibition of pulpit eloquence.
