San Francisco, Feb. 10.-The news
of the assassination of President Bar
rios of Guatemala created great ex-
element in this city, SIS both the muir
dered president and his wife are well
known here and also because a number
of San Francisco merchants have ex-
tensive interests in that republic. To
the colony of refugees who fed from
Guatemala some months ago and To-
Gated here to escape the wrath of the
dictator the announcement was not so
surprising, as the insurgents threat
ened some time ago to kill Barrios be-
fore the expiration of his term, March
Is.

PRESIDENT BARRIOS OF GAUTE-
MALA KILLED.
CALLED HIMSELF DICTATOR
He Had Served Nearly Six Years and
Congress Had Extended the Term
Vice President Has Already Sue
ceeded to the Presidency-Uncle of
Dead Man Was Also Killed.

Washington, + eb. l0.-Lajo Arriaga,
states, Wednesday afternoon received
an official cablegram from the minister
OF foreign affairs at Guatemla, an
nuuncing the assassination of PreSi-
dent Barrios and the succession to the
presidency of First Vice President
Manuel Estrada Cabrera. The dis
patch came from Guatemala city, the
capital 1t added that entire calm pre-
walls. This assurance, coupled with
the immediate succession of the first
vice president in accordance with the
constitutional methods Of the country
is a special source OF qualification to
the officials of the Guatemalan lega-
ton. The relations between the late
president and Arriaga were much
more than of an official character.
They were close personal friends. Ar
riaga said that Barrios was man of
wide attachments and marked execu-
tive ability. He was only AZ years old.
His six years term Of service would
have ended March 18th next, but the
national congress had extended the
term for a further four years. The new
president, Cabrera, is man of prom
inence in Guatemala, and one of the
two chosen by congress to fill the pres
idency in case Of a vacancy.
New York, Feb. 10.-General d.
Jose Regina Barrios, the assassinated
president Of the republic of Guata-
mala, was born in San Marios in 1859.
He was nephew of Former Presi-
dent Justo Rufino Barrios, who was
killed in 1885. The general was edu-
Gated abroad. In 1892 he succeeded
Barrillas as president, his term of Of
flee expiring in March of this year.
Last June he publicly declared himself
dictator of Guatemala. His partisans
say that under his administration the
country prospered and developed ex-
tensively.

apolfs Tribun1 as "an interesting Illus
tration Of the working of the protective
principle in favor of American labor"
The Tribune remarks:
If this is their mode of securing ere
venge' on the customs officials it will be
revenge that will conduce to the inter
est of American labor and American farm
ers and merchants, for the work of manu-
featuring their goods will be done here,
American workmen will be employed and
the wages paid to their employees will be
spent here instead of abroad. Thus pro-
lection encourages an importation of cap
ital and industries rather than of goods.
The way to national development is
through the diversifcation and muAiplca-
ton of industries. Political economists
say we need foreign capital to properly
stimulate our growth, and the application
of the protective principle is bringing it to

The Tables turned on England
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington says that the fact that
British imports into the United States
have fallen off greatly in the past year,
while American exports to Great Brit
ain have greatly increased, has been
announced from time to time during
the year, but the full years figures just
presented by the treasury bureau of
statistics, bring to the surface some in
teresting facts heretofore unpublished.
These figures show that while the ex-
ports from the United States to Eng
land have increased II per cent, the
imports from England have fallen off
35 per cent. The exports from this
country to England during the past
wear, in round numbers, were five times
as much as the imports from England,
the figures being:
Imports from England. $1O9, 13S, 365
Exports to England $40, $3.50, 1872
Our imports from England decreased
IL per cent. and our exports to Eng
land increased D. per cent, making a
net gain for the United States of At
per cent, almost one-half, and yet the
Democrats condemn RepubEcanism
and protection!

TO RULE ALL EGYPT.
GREAT BRITAIN WILL DECLARE
A PROTECTORATE.
True Meaning of the Activity in the
British Foreign Office France
Agrees to Retire from Fashoda, bnt
Other Powers May Act.

Advices from London say that Great
Britain's secret is out at last in the opin-
ion of we'll informed men of affairs who
have been keeping close track of the re-
cent extraordinary preparations for war.
OF far more Importance than the posi-
bility Of little brush with France, which
would be a repetition Of the Spanish
American war, is the declaration that
England is about to take the bull by the
horns and proclaim protectorate over all
of Egypt. This is the theory that is now
generally accepted as being the true solu-
ton of the problem, and it is the only one
on which the remarkable activity of the
war office and the admiralty can be salts
factorily accounted for.
All probability of trouble with France
vanished with the receipt of positive state
ments from Paris that Major Marchand
will be Internationally withdrawn from
Fashoda, but the war preparations have
been continued since then with more en-
ergy than before.
The proclamation of Egypt as a part Of
the British empire would set all Europe
by the ears and would undoubtedly result
in war were it not known that England
was prepared and looking for trouble
There is reason to believe that the Ger
man Emperor abandoned his trip to Egypt
so as to be out of the country when the
proclamation was issued. He is thought
to be fully aware of England's plans.
The British naval and military prepara-
tons are being pushed to an extent with
out precedent since the Crimean war.
England was about to declare protecto-
rate in 1884, urged to do so by Prince Bis
marck, and it was only at the last min
ute, when all the preparations had been
made, that the scheme was abandoned
for more favorable opportunity. That
opportunity seems now at hand.
England's occupation Of Egypt is based
on might and has frequently been de-
nounced by the khediye himself, by his
suzerain, the Sultan of Turkey, and by
France as illegal, while the other powers
have quietly tolerated the act.

END OF THE EXPOSITION.
Seventy-five Thousand Visited Oma-

ed the grounds during the closing day. Up
to the last morning 1852, 1888 people had

total will considerably exceed 100000.
The exposition was a financial success,
something over 100000 remaining to be
divided among the stockholders. A frac-
ton less than 100000 has been received
and 81 100000 expended. The exposition
owed 100000 when the gates were open
ed; 100000 was subscribed for the ex-
position and all but 100000 of that amount
paid in. In addition corporations donated
$15O,OOO. 1t is estimated that the sub
scribers should receive back 80 per cent
Of the subscriptions.

There Is Plenty of Gold.

The refutation of the plea of the sill
verltes that there is not enough gold to
answer the demands of the gold stand
ard for money is found in the reports
of the production of gold throughout
the world.
The Director of the Mint has just
published his report of the gold produc-
ton of the United States and Of the
world for last year. 1t shows vast in
crease over 1896, just as 1896 showed
an increase over preceding years.
Taking the worlds production, Afri-
ca leads with something over $58,OO0,-
600. The United States comes next
with over $57,OOO,OOO, and Australia
next with over $55,OO0,0O0. Russia
leads European countries with 23,000,-
900. Altogether the worlds output Of
gold for 1897 was nearly $23S, 100000,
which is an increase of $50 100000 over
the output of 1896, and more than twice
as much as was produced in 1890.
The indications for the present year
and that not less than $27O,OOO,00O will
be the production for 1898.
The statistics for the United States
show that Colorado has at least sur
passed California as gold State, her
output being $19,OOO,O0O, as against
$14,0O0O00 for California. South Da-
kota-the Black Hills region-comes
next with S5,0OO,OOO, and Montana
with 100000. With such a produc-
ton Of gold the world Overcome that is
a permanent addition to the worlds
wealth-how futile it is to say that
there is not gold enough to answer the
demands Of monetary system found
ed upon it.
1t may seem paradoxical to say so,
but the more gold we have the less we
will need it as money. The worlds
business is done with paper, and all
that is needed is uniform standard
for the paper. That standard is gold,
and we have it in abundance.-Chica-
go Times Herald.

Extend Protection to Ships.

We must be able to feel secure in the
control of our home markets before
there is any letting down of the pro-
tective bars. Just at present prOtec-
ton should be extended and the great
CARRYING trade of this nation should be
brought under control of American in
terests. We are paying three hundred
million dollars year in this direction,
because we are not yet able to COM
pete with the cheap labor on foreign
ships. We can build the ships as
cheaply, but we cannot run them at as
low a figure as can the foreign own
ers. principally on account of the star
walton wages paid to foreign seamen.
The remedy is not to even up this dis
advantage by reducing the wages of
American seamen, but by extending
the benefits of protection to American
shipping, whereby we can successfully
compete with that of any foreign ma
ton, and at the same time pay higher
wages. This has been the result of all
other American industries fostered by
protection; there is no reason why it
should not work as successfully in
building up an American merchant
marine.-Tacoma Ledger.

Repub1icanism and Labor.


A formidable movement of capital
lists in Massachusetts for repeal Of
laws enacted in the interests of labor
was turned down by the Republican
Legislature in 1897. The object Of the
movement was to put the cotton manu-
featuring industry on more equal
footing with the Southern mills. The
recent Republican State convention of
Massachusetts adopted the following
resolution:
The laws of Massachusetts passed in
the interest of wage earners, establishing
short hours of labor, compulsory educa-
ton for children, frequent payment Of
earnings, guarding. as far as practicable
by law, life and limb from the risks Of
machinery, and demanding the best SAM
tary conditions for the workshop and
home, have proved wise and wholesome.
If, in the industrial development of the
country, they have become adverse factors
in competition, the remedy is not in their
repeal but through education and the eff
forts of organized labor to procure the en-
actment Of similar laws in the other States
of the Union.
The charge is frequently made by
the opposition that the Republican
action in Massachusetts gives no sup
port to the charge.

not be approximated. But mos. OF them were
Democrats, who had been under cover since
1860. This seems TO be borne out by the tact
that the Republican total, instead OF being less
was 900 in excess of the total of 1892, the
preceding presidential year, and therefore the
SILVER detection could not have been very heavy
some estimates place it at 5000; others at
500. But, no matter what labels they wore,
the lu ion ticket needs them in this election,
and the fusion fight is to get them out to the
polls. If the Democrats 60 to the
polls, the old habit OF voting against the Re-
Republican ticket will assert itself. This re-
lers, OF course, to the Democrats who voted tor
Bryan. The sound-money Democrats will vote
the Republican ticket this fall, as they did in
1906. To sum up the Democratic situation in
this campaign there are three classes OF Dem
ocrats: First, Democrats who will vote the
fusion ticket Second, Democrats who will
vote the Republican ticket. Third, Democrats
who will not vote at ALL How to reduce the
third class to the lowest possible minimum IS
