New York, July 13.-Mlartin Rob-
erts, financial representative of the
government of Guatemala, is in the
city trying to sell railroad that has
been built in that little republic by,
American capital. He says that this
republic and most of the other repub-
lies making up the Central American
states arc looking forward to the day
when they will be part of the United
States.
Besides the agitation for annexa-
ton, Roberts says there is a pro-
nounced feeling against the silver
standard. The fault found with silver
is that it fuctuates with the crops.
There is tremendous crop of coffee
this year and even now more is grow
ing than ever before.
1.-The result is that the price has,
fallen to degree never known before
and silver follows it. There is no use
denying that the metal is greatly de-
based in Guatemala and that fact has
brought about the present bad tinan.

FAMOUS BLACKLIST CASE.
Appellate Court Affrms Lower
Courts Decision.


Courts Decision.
Chicago, July 1a.-Because Judges
freeman, Horton and Shepard, com
posing the branch appellate court,
could not agree in the disposition of
:he appeal of William i. Mcdonald i'm
MS suit against the Illinois Central
Hallway company, the decision OF the
circuit court denying McDonald's ac-
ton to recover damages from the rail-
roads is affirmed by divided court.
The suit has attracted much attention
as one of the alleged "blacklistings
cases growing out of the railroad
strike in 1894.
OF the many legal questions report
ed for the consideration of the appel
late court none is passed on. the d.
vlded court filing no opinion. Tho
ruling in the appeal was short. 1t
reads.
MIR. Justice Horton could not par
ticipate in the consideration and de-
cision of this cause by reason of his
relations with one of the counsel for
the plnintiff in error. The rernainins
justices are unable to agree, and the
Judgment must therefore be affirmed
by divided eouTt. No opinion can
therefore be filed"
Mcdonald was conductor i'm the
employment of the Illinois Central
Railroad company. After the settle
ment of the strike he attempted to OBJ
tam employment on the Chicago and
Northwestern. His failure to secure
work was attributed by him to the ex-
istence of Establishing agreement
between the railroads of the country
to deny employment to the 1894
strikers and he brought suit asking
$4,000 damages from the two com
panies.

Against Gong to Prison.

Ann Ingersoll, kidnaper of Gerald
Lapiner, spent last night in solitary
confinement in padded cell in the
penitentiary at Joliet. The terrific
struggle for liberty which she began
when the officers started to take her
from the court house in Chicago was
kept up all the way to the prison. SO
intense became her rage, she tore with
her teeth and hands several handker-
chiefs into shreds. At Joliet she be-
came more frantic, and her repeated
cry was that she would never go be-
hind the bars. The warden locked her
in solitary cell until she would quiet
down.
The warden said it was the worst
case he ever had to contend with"
said Jailer Whitman. "There was no
hysterin about it. She had full CON
troll of herself, but was Just ugly"
