REVOLUTION IN GUATEMALA
Fierce Fighting Follows lie ASSASSINATION
of President Barrios.
Gen. MarrOGuin Killed in an Attempt
to Make Morales President
RcvOluti0nists Retreat.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, February ia
special from San Jose de Guatemala says
civil strife and bloodshed have followed
the killing of Barrios. Before the body of
the late ruler had found sepulchre the
factions were flying at each others throats,
and as result Gen. Marroqun, the chief
supporter of Prospero Morales, one of the
aspirants to the presidency, is dead and his
forces are seeking safety in flight. 1t was
last night that Gen. Marroquin attempted
to seize the reins of government in behalf
of Morales. He made an attack in force on
the palace barracks. The assault was
vigorously resisted and in the fighting Gen.
Marroquin and a few others were killed.
Seeing that their efforts would not prove
successful, the attacking forces, consisting
of 1000 men, headed by Gen. Majere and
Col. Arrevalo. fed from the city.
Today Gen. Toledo, who has been ap-
pointed minister of war by Manuel Estrada
Cabrera, the president pro tern. of the re-
public, ordered the artillery in pursuit of
the fleeing revolutionists.
The popuace and soldiers are now de-
manding that Gen. MendiZabel be pro-
claimed president. The situation is becom-
ing more complicated, and crisis Is near.

Second Circuit in New York to BE
Opened Tomorrow.


Opened Tomorrow.
A number of members of Congress espe-
cially interested in postal matters and Gen.
Shallenberger, the second assistant post
master general, will be present tomorrow
at the opening in New York of circuit No
of the pneumatic tube system built for
the transmission of the mails. The second
circuit runs from the general post office
to station H, or the Grand Central railroad
station, and is three miles and half in
length. Notice that it was ready for op-
Grafton reached the Post Office Department
today. and Gen. Gary being unable to at
tend the ceremony, delegated Mr.. Shallen-
berger to represent him. Good results are
looked to from the new tube. Greater ia
cility in handling the immense amount of
mail matter passing between the post Of
flee and the Grand Central station will be
the greatest advantage gained. AS a result
of the introduction of the service the pos
tai officials believe that resort will be had
to the mails for hasty communication by
many persons who heretofore have used
the telegraph for that purpose. Quick SER
vice can be obtained by the use of the spe-
of the mails is one of the sources which
the officials believe will ultimately increase
the revenues of the department and more
than pay for the outlay involved in the new
scheme. Between 90 and 95 per cent of the
mail matter transported between the post
Office and one of the exchanges where there
is already pneumatic tube service In op-
Grafton goes through the tube, and the
opinion is expressed that there should be
10 reason why that between the post Office
and the Central station should not be as
generally used.

leadership was rendered Prof Zimmerman
in October last, when Prof. Fanciulli sew

TEMPORARY ORDER ISSUED
Anacostia and Potomac River r. R. Com
pany Enjoins Capital Company.
District Commissioners Also Made
Defendnnt-Text Of the Bill I'm
Equity Filed Today.

The Anacostia and Potomac River Rail-
road Company today filed bill in equity
for an injunction, the defendants named
being the District Commissioners and the
Capital Railway Company. The court is
asked to restrain the Capital Railway Com
pany from running its cars on 11th street
east, NJ street south and Sth street east by
the Brown system" and that the Com
m1ssloners be restrained from granting any
further permit to reconstruct the system or
make further experiments on the streets
mentioned. Further. it is asked that the
Capital company be perpetually enjoined
from running cars on the streets in uues-
ton by means of the Brown surface sys-
tenn, and that it be decreed that the COM
pany forthwith remove certain contact
boxes and plates and other Instructions
from the streets.
The bill was presented to Judge Cox, in
Equity Court No. 1. who signed tenn
porary restraining order, returnable the
10Th instant.
The Declarations.
The complainant, in the bill, declares that
the Brown system is not a safe or sat
isfactory system for the streets in the
city of Washington; that it endangers the
complainant's horses, and the lives of
those who travel on the streets referred to
heretofore; that it is incompatible with the
underground system now In vogue on the
Metropolitan road, and which is the sys-
tenn to which Congress referred in the act
of May %, 1896; that the Capital company
ought not to be permitted to obstruct the
road of the Anacostia and Potomac River
Company in such way as to prevent its
adoption and operation of the underground
system on it's road that continuing to run
the cars, and the granting of further per-
mits and time for further experiments with
the Brown system would not only be
without authority of law, but would be a
serious blow to the complainant and would
do the latter an irreparable injury; that
the defendant company is wholly insolvent
and the complainant can have no relief for
that reason against it in any action for
damages even if it was clear that any such
legal action could be maintained.
During the recital OF it's case the Ana
costa and Potomac River Company states
that its board of directors have been long
contemplating the possibility of introduc-
ing some system of rapid transit on its
road, hoping that its traffic might be
thereby increased, and its road improved
50 as TO better serve the public, and at the
same time become profitable to its owners
1t is added that the Anacostla company
believes that the way will soon be open to
ii to install some satisfactory system of
rapid transit over that portion of its line
running between the central part of Wash
ington city and Anacostia, if it can be al
lowed the use of its tracks and roadway.
Messrs. Edwards and Barnard are the
solicitors for the complainant.

COMPLICATIONS IN TEXAS,

An interesting struggle is on in Texas.

LOOKING TO ADJOURNMENT.
Talk About Finishing Up Business by
Nav L.

There is some quiet talk at both wings
of the Capitol of a plan looking to the
adjournment of Congress about the Ist of
May. There is said to be an understanding
between Speaker Reed and some of the
senators representing the controlling power
of the Senate that the appropriation bills
are TO be hurried as rapidly as possible and
that as soon as they are disposed of an
Adjournment resolution shall be sprung so
as to cut off all other things pending The
one particular thing aimed at, it is said, is
the Hawaiian annexation treaty or resolu-
tions. though other arguments for an early
adjournment are advanced to secure sup
port for the plan. 1t is said to be in con-
temptation that the annexation question
shall be kept pending until the appropria-
ticn bills are disposed of, and that after
that number of motives for desiring an
adjournment will be appealed to.
