Rexolntion In Salvador.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-A cable dis.
patch received in this city from Liber-
tad, Nicaragua, states with revolution
has broken out in Salvador. 1t is only
a fortnight since Salvador, Honduras
and Nicaragua joined their destinies
and formed the United States of Cen
trail America. Merchants and CONNER
cial men in this city who are familiar
with affairs in Central America, how
ever, were not surprised when informed
that revolution in Salvador was re-
ported to have broken out. While the
federation Of the three countries was
approved and carried out by the presi-
dents and commissioners appointed
from each country to draw up consti-
tuition, the people of Salvador have not
been enthusiastic over the scheme, par
ticularly as it appears that the financial
burdens of maintaining the new state

Germany BUSHES to Explain.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It is under
stood that assurances have been given
by the German government that the
visit of Emperor William of Germany
to Spain is entirely devoid of official
character or significance. that the offic-
ial trip of the imperial party ended
when they left Palestine and that the
proposed stop at Cadiz and Cartagena
is largely health precaution in behalf
of the empress, as the sea trip would
be long and arduous if unbroken by
these stops at the Spanish ports. The
assurance appears to be voluntary on
the part Of the Berlin officials and to be
in line with the care taken in that
quarter of late to minimize and remove
the bad impression caused by several
incidents occurring during the recent
war.
The state department had not, so far
as is known, taken cognizance of the
emperor's movements and certainly
there was no purpose of inquiring as to
the step in Spain, although this action
by the emperor was looked upon as
rather inopportune, to say the least,
when the peace negotiations with Spain
are at critical juncture and when,
technically, the war is still in progress.

Revenue Tax to Stand.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The Wash
ington Post states that the war tax will
not be abolished at the coming short
session of congress, that there will be
no revision of the tariff whatever. 1t
bases this announcement upon the posi-
tive statement made by Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee,
who in an interview says:
"The government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Octo-
ber the war expenditures exceeded the
war revenue by some $l4,O00000, and
this month they will be $4,000, 900 in
excess. This being the case, there will
be no changes at least this fiscal year.
The war revenue act will continue in
force and unchanged, except. perhaps,
in few minor administrative features,
for at least two years.
ut is hardly necessary to add" con-
tinued Mr.. Dingley, "that there will be
no revision of the tariff, although Ihave
seen some statements to the effect that
such revision IL contemplated.

Quiet at Wilmington.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Nov. 12.-This
city was remarkably quiet last night,
the turmoil and terrible race conflict
considered. The military are doing
police duty at the request OF the city
authorities, although no marshal law
has been proclaimed There are five
companies on duty. The negroes are
thoroughly terrorized. Hundreds of
them have left the city, fleeing through
the country in all directions. w. E..
Henderson, the most prominent negro
lawyer here, asked for a military escort
to the Atlantic coast line station for
himself and family. 1t is believed that
the race war is about over. No negroes
were shot yesterday and none of the
wounded have died.

dikers arriving i'll this city bring the
news that the city of Dawson has been
visited with 100000 fire, in which
40 buildings were burned, including the
new postoffice building and some of the
best buildings in the city. The fire took
place on the morning of Oct 16. 1t

result Of row between two women of
the town. Belle Mitchell threw lighted
lamp at another woman. The lamp
broke, the oil spread and in few Sec
onds the building was on fire. The fire
started at $40 a. m. The fire of year
ago was caused by this same woman,
who threw a lamp at Il man with whom
she had quarrel. A month ago she
tried to burn her own place on Third

at woman and nearly caused a con.
hagration by again losing her temper
and welding another lighted lamp. The
news was brought out by several of the
miners who arrived in this city. The
steamer Ora left Dawson Oct. 20 and
20 through passengers reached Bennett

Platform of 1896 Not Abandoned.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov 16.--Colonel W.
j. Bryan last night gave to the Associ.
ated press the following interview rela.
tive to the late election:
while l do not understand that
service in the volunteer army prevents
a soldier from expressing opinions upon
political questions, declined to take
part III the late campaign lest | should
be accused by partisan opponents Of at
tempting to embarrass the administra-
ton. Now that the election is over,
shall exercise q citizens privilege of
discussing the returns.
Compared with the election of 1895
the Republicans have gained in some
places and lost in others. 1t was not a
sweeping Republican victory. On the
whole the result is not surprising when
1T is remembered that the administra-
ton is just concluding successful war.
While a majority of the soldiers are
probably anti-Republican, the manage.

''These questions We're forced into the
background by the declaration of war,
but they must be faced again as soon as
peace is restored. The Chicago plat
form presents for public consideration
certain vital, economic questions. That
platform has not been abandoned by
those who Endorsed it in 1896. 1t will
be reaffirmed in 1900 because it gives

Neither can the election be regarded
as all Endorsement of any definite for

In regard to the Nebraska election. he
said "A light vote was cast in Ne

the entire state ticket and carried the
same congressional districts that they
carried in 1896. If Senator Allen is de-
feated for reelection it will be because

Garrett's Choice.

By the action of the county conven-
ton assembled in Oakland on Tues
day last, and which unqualifiedly
endorsed State Senator Robert A.
Ravenscroft for the nomination for
Congress from the Sixth Congress
sional District of Maryland, all
republicans in Garrett county are
called upon to give him their support
and try in every laudable manner to
secure for him the nomination.
Two years ago Senator Ravenscroft
was an aspirant for the nomination
which he now seeks. Our readers
will remember how, after nearly one
thousand ballots had been taken, the
nomination went to Capt. Mcdonald,
of Montgomery. The people of the
district are now very well satisfied
that the nomination of Mcdonald was
a mistake. To give him another
term in Congress would be a political
crime.
The delegates from Garrett county
will go to the Frederick convention
pledged to do all in their power to
secure the nomination of Senator
Ravenscroft. By the action of the
convention they cannot do otherwise
and keep faith with the people they
represent.
Garrett county has been at the tail
end of the political procession long
enough. 1t is now her turn to furnish
the necessary timber for a represent
alive in Congress. She has the man
in the person of Senator Ravenscroft
When the party needs votes to elect
her candidates to office Garrett fur
nishes them when pie is handed
out Garrett is ignored.
If the district expects this county
to go on forever furnishing the major
tiles which she has been doing in
years past, her claims should be rec
ognized, and now is the accepted
time
