FOUR YEARS MORE FOR BARR1oa
GuatomaIa's E'reaident Outwits His Opponents
and Gets His Term Extended.

and Gets His Torn Extended.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept 1l.-Gen. Bar
rios, President OF Guatemala. will serve four
more years tho ruler OF the Central Amer
lean republic. Information to this effect has
been received by several persons in this city,
and the news is confirmed by a despatch sent
to Schwartz Bros, mercantile representatives
OF the Guatemalan Government.
According to the messages received hero the
GuAtemalan Congress met few days ago and
voted unanimously to extend the Presidential
term OF barrios four years. that Is to January,
1901. Bv this act Congress relieves the coun-
try of the burden Of the election. which was TO
take place next January and has completely
upset the plans OF Barrios's political enemies.
Never before in the history OF Guatemala has
there been moro bitter strife for Presidential
honors than began several months ago when
tho campaign was opened.
Gen. Barrios's chances for denomination were
considered very good at the start but when
three candidates. Morales. a former Minister;
Tuentes. and Costello, both Governors OF prov.
inccs. entered tho field. the candidacy OF tho
General began TO assume a doubtful aspect.
II am not surprised at the news, said Martin
Sosa, late American Consul to San Salvador,
who arrived here on the last steamer, for Con.
gress was considering this move before left
the South. 1t regarded the reelection of Bar
rios as a necessity for the welfare of the repub-
lie, and those who understand the situation
there viii undoubtedly approve of its action"

Whether a treaty-a contract between

that as matter of international COM

reply was that that was matter OF

of the uptown saloons last night. A
short, thick-set man in the butcher
business got into an alteration with a
taller and apparently weaker man
from one of the other Islands-a man
who has been hard and scientific hit
ter in his time. The former would
have measured his length on the floor
had not some of his friends caught his
arms The little fellow took advan-
tage of this to hit his opponent in the
nose. The latter walked inside to
bathe his nose. One of his friends fol-
lowed and explained why he had held
him, when he received blow on the
side of the face from the thick-set
man. He retaliated and the butcher
fell to the floor. Friends stepped in
and stopped further trouble.
