TROUBLES IN SALVADOR.
Low Price of Coffee and Silver May
Cause Revolution.

New York, March 4.-"The low
price of coffee and also silver may
cause revolution in Salvador soon, :
said Charles Gray of Bloomington, ILL.,,
who has been living in that country
the past two years and who arrived
yesterday on the steamship Codallinca
from Colon. Coffee in Salvador is
selling for IA pesag per one pound,
where formerly it brought 80 pesas.
This is due to overprOduction and to
the increase in the Brazilian output.
Legislation aimed against silver has
sent the price of that metal down and
Salvador, beng silver using country
feels the demonstration keenly. For
all their imports the Salvadorians
must pay heavily, while they are get
ting little for their coffee. This con-
dition they ascribe to their existing
government. They blame President
Guiteras and there are mutterings to
overthrow him."

cation from William Henry Ferris, OF

proceedings of a mass meeting of col
ored citizens of Boston held on Feb.
% to express adherence of the action
of the South Carolina mob. Mr.. Allen
(pop., Neb.) charged Mr.. Lodge with
introducing politics into the discus
sion Of the resolution and thought
the communication ought not to be
read by the clerk. The communica-
ton was read, however, and then Mr..
Lodge said that there was no question
of politics in it as far as he was aware.
Mr.. McLaurin (dem., S. CD said he
hoped the resolution would go to the
committee without discussion. The
state authorities we're exceedingly act
i've in their investigation of the
crime and he was assured that every
effort was being made to bring the
perpetrators to justice. The resolu-
ton was then referred to the commit
tee on contingent expenses.

PROF. CALDWElL's REVENGE.
Stuffed Snow Down Back Of Lad Who
Threw at Him

Chicago, March 4.-War was de-
clared in Evanston yesterday by Pro-
fessor William Caldwell of Northwest
ern university on the small boys who
indu .ged in snowballing. The profess
sor OF sociology was walking on Chi
hall when a shower of SnOwballs from
a group of youngsters descended upon
him. He became somewhat Wrathy,
but proceeded on his way, when he
was suddenly struck by second
shower, which disarranged his clothing
and made his back smart. Professor
Caldwell did not mind the smart so
much, but the ind gnity to his clothes
was too much for him to bear with
equanimity. He is always spOtlessly
atti1ed in the latest "Lunnon" styles,
and he objected to their disarrange-
ment. Accordingly he started in pur-
suit CT his tormentors. They wisely
scattered in all directions, but this
did not 'feaze" the professor, who. Sc
Letting one of them as his victim,
continued the pursuit The merry
CHI Sc continued for some time. The
boy was a good sprinter, and several
times when his pursuer, who is the
captain of the Northwestern University
Hare and Hound club, was almost upon
him, he lodged behind trees and then
doubled. The determination of the
professor seemed to aid him, for at
length he captured the boy. The spec
/ tators, who by this time were not a
few, watched with wonder to see
what would happen next. The pro-
lessor carries o regulation society cane
! with head as large as an apple, and
some feared he wou d punish the boy
with it. Meanwhile the other small
boys had rallied to the rescue of their
friend ard were pouring in the damp
white balls from all directions. I'm
dismayed, the victor dragged his cap
tive to huge snow drift and, open
ing the boys clothes about his neck,
hegan to stuff them with snow. The
boy ECU rmed and yelled and kicked,
but all to no avail. The professor
kept stufing in the snow until a
large part of the drift had disappeared
and the boy had taken on an appear
ance of plumpness that would gain him
situation as ''fat boy" in museum
Not until the youngster was well
packed did the professor stop, and the
boy sad he was ready for the Klon-
dixie.

HE BOUGHT BEER.
Court Gusts Mayor Good of Springfield
From Office.

Springfield, o., March 4.-The cir
cult court yesterday issued a decree
oustiug Mayor John M. Good from
office. The proceedings were brought
under the Garfield election law which
requires candidates after election to
file sworn statements of all of their
election expenses. Judge Adams said
that this showed that Mayor Good
spent 1888 so in the campaign which
he failed to include in his sworn state
ment of expenses. Of the above
amount SOL was spent for beer. Good
is one Of the most prominent business
men of Springfield. This is his first
experience in politics. Good formerly
was prohibitionist, but was elected
as a democratic candidate.
