Pittsburg, Sept, 20. Between 15,.
000 and $4,000 coal miners in Pitts
burg district returned to work today in
accordance with the action taken Sat
urday at the convention authorizing
the men to resume work in all mines
complying with the provisions Of the
scale Of 65 cents, made at Columbus.
The remainder Of the 5000 miners Of

In England at an advanced age was

tion and enterprise brought him a
splendid fortune. He retired from
parliament in 1895. He has the repu-

ventions, been the first man to make
luclfer matches. Sir Isaac had a
method of his own in regard to eating
and drinking For breakfast he par
took of baked apple, one orange, a
bunch Of grapes and a biscuit made
from banana -four. His midday meal
consisted of very little beef or mutton,
with now and again small cupful Of
soup. If he partook OF fish, he had so
much less of meat. For supper he
practically repeated his breakfast menu.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopklns 3 compaay's Review
of Trade.

The leading feature of the market
during the week has been the rapid
suhsidence OF the speculation that in
part caused the marked and sudden adj
vance in values, The market is now
once more upon plane Of action where
supplies and demand can be expected
to exert the controlling influences.
The forward movement of the winter
wheat crop has been fairly large and Is
now about to be supplemented by in
creasing receipts of spring wheat. Up
to the present time export clearances
have been sufficiently large not only to
prevent any increase, but to cause de-
crease, in available stocks that were al
ready reduced almost to depletion. The
advanced values have checked export
sales, and we may, with the larger re-
ceipts in the near future, look for in
creasing stocks at centers Of accumula-
tion. SO, while the general situation
remains as strong as ever, the advance
appears over for the time being. or at
least until the foreigners again become
large buyers OF wheat.
In corn the week has resulted in some
marked changes. A large crop is no
longer anticipated by anyone, and the
only question is how small it may
prove. We are justified, from all the
information obtainable, in claiming
that the early planted corr promises
well and 10 practically beyond damage
from frost. The planted corn is in an
entirely different position. Under the
most favorable weather conditions it
can make nothing but nubbins and fod-
der. The final result promises not
more than two-thirds OF q crop, and
frost within the next two weeks might
further reduce tine yield.
The advanced values for wheat have
attracted speculation to corn and re-
suited in some improvement in values
A. still further advance would have
taken place had it not been for the
enormous receipts of corn sold to arrive
before the extent of damage to growing
crop had become known. Since then
farmers have ceased selling freely and
receipts next week promise to be much
smaller. The market, relieved OF the
selling pressure for country account,
supported by an excellent cash demand,
promises, with the aid of the increas-
ing speculative support, to advance still

Determined Revolt Against the Rule Of
Barrios-City of QueEaItenango At
tackled by Three Thousand Rebels.
New York, Sept. 20.---A special to
the Herald from Panama, Colombia,
says. Guatemala now faces an upris-
ing far more serious than the one of a
few months ago, telegraphs the Herald
correspondent in the city of Guatemala.
The present rebellion is led by men Of
great wealth and influence, and is
slightly gaining in strength each day.
Advices just received from Guate-
mala are to the effect that 5000 rebels
attacked the city of Ouez9ltenango on
the morning of September l3. The
garrison there consisted Of less than
1000 soldiers, but they fought valiant
". The attack continued far into the
night, when the rebels, despite their
superior numbers, were repulsed. They
vigorously renewed the attack at half
past 8 O'Clock on the morning OF the
l4th. and the advices state that the
latest report is that the fighting still
continues.
The garrison still holds the city
against the rebels, but the fall OF the
city is inevitable, unless the reinforce
ments now hurrying forward arrive
within few hours.
The present revolution is headed by
General Prospero Morales, who, until
few months ago was minister of war
in the cabinet, General Fues Barrios, a
brother-in-law OF President Barrios, and
Feliciano Guitera.
These three men were candidates for
president to succeed Barrios for the
constitutional term from 1898 to 1901.
Their antagonism to the president
dates from the time he declared himself
dictator of Guatemala and announced
his intention Of having law passed in
defiance of the constitution, permit
ting presidents election for second
term. This meant another term for
Barrios, and met with solid opposition
from the upper classes of Guatemala.
In view of this growing discomfort,
the three presidential candidates de-
cided to meet Barries with bullets in
stead of ballots. The first movement
in the plot was to get possession of the
barracks at San Marcos, where large
quantity ofsarms and ammunition was
stored. This was done by bibery,
nearly all the soldiers at San Marcos
at that time joining the rebel move
ment.
The rebel force is now 5000, and is
growing. This is made possible by the
wealth and standing Of General Mo-
rales and his chiefs and the great dis
content in the financial circles OF the
country, growing out OF the business de-
preston there.

used for pumping water from the river
with which to irrigate several hundred
acres OF land.
This plant consists of an S0-horse
power, horizontal single cylinder, Her
cules engine and krogh Msnufactur-

Ions of water per minute 27 feet high.
There is also smaller pump OF 400 gall
Ions minute capaci driven by the

The engine is arranged to use either
gasoline or distillate oil, and as the lat
ter is very cheap it will no doLbt be
the fuel selected for use. The 20-inch
suction pipe, made Of No. 10 steel,
passes through the levee, on an incline,
into the river, and at its lower end ia
a large foot valve weighing 1900
pounds
A 20-ineh discharge pipe carries the
water from the pump to head box 90
feet square and feet high. For the
foundation Of the machinery an excava-
tion was made and filled with concrete.
The FIRST test made showed much
larger pumping capacity than the con-
tract called for, the flow of water ex-

A GIANT PUMPING PLANT
Packers Great Irrigation En-.
terprise a Success.
Hundreds OF Acres OF wheat Land Along
the sacramento River sup
piled With wator.

Pumping plants have been so Inn
proved in the last few years as to lead
enc to hope that in that direction lies
the solution OF the irrigation question.
George +. Packer, although considered
one of the most conservative men in
the county, has led off in number OF
things. Same years ago he checked of
some land and put in flume for win
ter irrigation and planted alfalfa. He
made survey himself to determine the
practicability Of taking the water out
of the river below Stony creek to water
the river lands, and wanted the cooper
alton OF some of the farmers to build
the canal. He oppe sed both the Colusa
and the Central districts because he did
not believe in that plan--and time has
shown that he was wiser in that than
many Of us He wanted to know who
was to manage.
Again he comes to the front. The

Francisco has just completed, on his

slowly at first, and increasing in velo-
city, the water began TO come with
force into the reservoir. II gushed for
awhile, when one Of the smaller parts
OF the engine became clogged, and 1t
was stopped for arrangement Just
then, as all stood STILL there was u
splash and wild shout came from
those who had climbed upon the edge
Of the reservoir. All rushed up and
found Mr.. Stice, Of Red Bluff, who is
here buying fruit. fioundering around
in the water, having lost his balance
and tumbled in. There was much mer-
rlment at his expenee, and il had a
healthy action on the crowd. bringing
laughter and good will all around.
Again, the engines started, and fore
ing 1900 gallons to the minute, the
great reservoir was soon overhowing,
and all pronounced il the grandest Of
successes.
The success OF Mr.. Packers enter
prise will show conclusively that IL
will be immensely profitable TO irrigatc
even wheat lands that are at all favor
ably situated. Who would not give a
sack Of wheat an acre for the privilege
Of 10inches of water at willy II would
make difference, one year with an
other, Of five to ten sacks; there need
be no summer-fallowing. A certain
crop every year. But then there comes
in more profitable crop--alfalia and
sugar beets.
This plant was put in for Mr.. Packer
for $500, but the head OF the COM
pany informs us that this was an in
ducement and that another would come
higher.
