MORE TROUBLE ,x GUATEMALA.

Revolution

HevOIuttOn.
San Francisco. July 9.--Prominent citi.
zens OF Central America living here claim
to have received dispatches Indicating thai
Guatemala is on the verge OF another seri.
Gus revolution. President Gabrera's at.

1t is reported that DR.. Jose Iorendo. the

ment and death and sought refuge In the

is said to have afforded them the protec-

to the principal offenses of which they
are charged.

San Francisco, July 9.-Several Leading
citizens of Guatemala just arrived ON the
steamer San Francisco confirm the reports
that revolution is threatened In that
country. A prominent planter now here
said:
The inflated currency, combined with the
surplus production of coffee explains the
conditions. OF late years every bit OF
arabic land has been used for the growth
of coffee with a result that there is over
production.
The Call says that President Cabrera is
charged with having ordered the coinage
OF silver standard piece 600 fine in place
OF S35 fine. This brought a storm about
his ears and he laid the blame upon the
superintendent of the mint, who now Hes
in jail. In order to adjust the matter,
Cebrera made q demand upon the banks
for subsidies Of silver. This was refused
with the result of the expulsion of Presi-
dent Receneda Devila and the forced flight
of several bankers. All Guatemalans who
attempt to ship silver are apprehended and
incarcerated. The treasury, foreign re-
lations and public works portfolios in the
cabinet are now vacant, no one caring TO
accept either office.
The floating of s2,500,O0O in paper In
which the laboring people are paid and
which Is practically worthless. has led to
much sufferings in all parts OF this coun
try.

THE PLUNGER'S DOOM.
The Rise and Fall of the Most Famous Charac-
ter in the History of the Turf.


The fortune of a pluDger who makes 1t
business 10 play the races and who takes
pleasure in startling the sporting world
by his unique betting methods is fully as
uncertain as the summer wind, To-day he
has wealth at his command. tomorrow dire
poverty stares him In the face. Today he
is admired and courted by the scores oil
followers who hope to participate in his
good fortune, tomorrow he is deserted and
cast aside like a racehorse that has had
its day.
The history OF the turf is filed by ex-
amples that illustrate the truth of this
assertion. There have been Walton days
and Grammar days, but they have passed

THE SITUATION AT FALL RIVER.
PROBABILITY Tha! The Textile Council Will Order
General Strike.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. THE five la
Dor organizations Of this city affiliated
with the Textile council will hold meet
ings during the week, to consider the
resolutions of the Textile council refer
ring to them the refusal of the manufac-
turers to grant the increase in wages
asked for, to take effect Nov. 10. The
entire situation here, as far as it relates
to the wage situation, will be gone over
thoroughly.
From information given out last even
ing, 1t Is probable that each of the labor
organizations will pass vote or con-
fidence in its members on the Textile
council, and refer the matter back TO
the council, with instructions to act IN
complete accord with the other unions.
1t will then be the part of the council TO
again refer the matter back to the
unions for further action, upon the pass
age of which, the Textile council will
have the power to proceed further In
the premises When all these formall-
ties are gone through with, the time set
for the advance TO take place Will have
passed, and a crisis will have been
| reached.
The members of the Textile council
are unit in their belief that the man
ufacturers have fairly refused to grant
their demands for an increase in wages
and If they are given the power by their
organizations they will, If it is deemed
practical order a strike as a protest
against the action of the mill men.
