Mexican Governments.
Chicago, Oct. 2l.-A special to the
Record from FL Paso, Tex, says:
General Ezeta ex-presilent OF Saliva
dor, and an exile from that country,
who disappeared mysteriously from
his home in Oakland, Cal, where he
had lived for three years, came to Ell
Paso Saturday last, and left over the
Mexican Central railway for the City
OF Mexico, in company OF j. IL.
Holmes and G. S. Greene. Holmes is
manager of the Iturbide hotel, of the
City of Mexico, and Greene is the city
attorney of Pasadena, Cal.
General Ezeta divulged his identity
to an official of the Mexican Central
road at Juarez, Mexico. The ex-presi-
dent said he had become tired of his
Punishment from his native country,
and preferred to die in an attempt to
free his people from tyranny than re.
main an exile for life. General Ezeta
said he and his party would confer
with the Mexican executive on the sub.
ject OF a revolution in Salvador for the
overthrow of the present administra.
ton.
1t is understood that General EZeta
will offer to turn over Salvador to the
republic of Mexico, in return for the

Washington, Oct. 23.-AIr. Tower,
British charge here. called at the state
department today and notified Secre-
tary Hay of the formal acceptance by
his government OF the proposition for
a temporary adjustment of the Alaska
boundary line proposed by Secretary
Hay.
The state department is confident it
has conserved American interests in
the matter, without unjustly treating
Canada. The divisional line, bounded
ON the west by the Dalton sail, is
placed % d miles above Pyramid har.
bor, which is regarded under the treaty
as tidewater mark, so the Canadians
are not allowed to reach any point on
Lynn canal. Moreover, there is nc
permission for q free transfer across
American territory OF Canadian goods,
except miners belongings. These
matters may figure later. when it comes
to a permanent boundary line, but they
are not touched upon i'll this modus.

Washington, Oct. 2l.-President
McKinley's message to the next con.
gress is expected to be the most impor-
tant document of the kind since the
civil war. After the presidents West
ern trip there can no longer be any
doubt as to his intentions regarding
the Philippines, for it has been amply
demonstrated that he will recommend
that the islands become the permanent
property OF the United States, leaving
their treatment to congress, but asking
that policy be early outlined, in or.
der to quench the Filipino hope that
there will be change in public senti.
ment in the United Staes which will
result in the domination of the anti.ex.

Exports Still Climbing.

Washington. Oct. 19.-Present indi.
cations warrant the belief that the ex.
ports of the calendar year 1899 will be
the largest in our history. The total
for the eight months ending with Au-
gust showed an excess of 1912, 900, 600
over the corresponding months of 1898,
which was the largest calendar year in
our exporting history, and the septem-
Der statement of breadstuffs, provisions,
cottons and mineral oils, just issued by
the treasury bureau of statictics, shows
for those four classes alone an excess
Of $12, 100000 over September of last
year. When to this is added the fact
that the exports of manufactures are
now much larger than at this time last
year, and that even in the re.exporta-
ton OF foreign goods the figures of this
year exceed those of last, it SENS prob
able that tho calendar year 1899 will
show larger total of exports than that
OF any preceding year.

Victoria, Oct. 2l.-The steamer En-.

est trip of her 43 voyages. The second
day out from Yokohama she encoun-

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. PA Great
Northern official said today that the
conclusion had been reached Ivy tho
road that strike could not be averted.
Higher officials will not talk, but the
wholesale merchants have been prob.
ing into the situation, and their reports
confirm the statement that the Great
Northern is likely to witness the most
effective tie.up ever experienced in the
West. The jobbers will lose thousands
of dollars per day, and are anxious to
head off strike. The recent order
making conductors responsible for dam.
age to their trains is the last straw.
Every organization is involved, and
every trainman, from conductor down,
including telegraphers, will 60 out If

ACTIVITY IS WIDESPREAD.
Volume and Value Testify to Prevailing
Prosperous Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Trade activity 10
widespread, all volume and value testi,
flying to prevailing prosperous condi-
tons. Only good reports are received
from distributive trade centers, and
some markets report fall demand 40
holding out longer than expected.
Railway earnings, bank clearings, res
turns and quotations of staple prices
are all encouraging, pointing as they
do to a maximum volume of business
for this period of the year. Crop re!
turns for October bear our earlier ims
pressions of shortened yields of most
leading agricultural products. Expec.
tation of more moderate yields OF lead.
ing cereals ia not confined to this coun.
try; the worlds wheat crop will admit.
teddy be smaller, and rye, barley and
oats yields are not expected to be %
large as year ago. The higher range
of prices of all staples, and particularly
of agricultural products, will furnish
q profitable balance of producers.
The liberality of foreign demand is,
perhaps, best known in the SeptembeD
report of exports OF leading products.

will go back to work tomorrow. The
men have conceded the nine hours u
day on all vessels not owned by the
government. On these latter the days
work will be eight hours for 10 hours

As result of the artisans going back

TT WAS AN ARTILLERY FIGHT
Tho Seizure Of Dundee Hill by the BOcri
Was ~ surprise to tho
British.

Glencoe Camp, Oct. 23.-Altel
eight hours of continuous heavy fight.
ing, Dundee hill was carried by the
Dublin iusileers and the Kings Royal
rifles, under cover Oi well -directe,'
artillery fire by the Thirteenth and
Sixty.nint batteries. The Beers, who
threatened the British rear, have re.
tired.
The fight was almost an exact coun'
terpart Of that OF Majuba hill, except
that the position of the Boer and Brit.
ish forces were reversed. General
Symons was severely, but not danger
c"usly wounded.
The battle today was a brilliant sue
cess. The Beers got a reverse which
may possibly, for II time at any rate,
check all aggressive action. The Brit
ish artillery practice i'll the early part
OF the day decided the battle.
The seizure OF Dundee hill by the
Beers was a surprise; for, although the
pickets had been exchanging shots all
night, it was not until II shell doomed
over the town into the camp that their
presence was discovered. Then the
shells came fast. The hill was posi-.
lively alive with the swarniing Beers
till the British artillery got to work
with magnificent energy and precision
Directly the Boer guns ceased firing,
General Symons ordered the infantry to
move on the position. The infantry
charge was magnificent. The way the
Kings Royal rifles and the Dublin fu.
sileers stormed the position was one OF
the most splendid sights ever seen.
General Symons was wounded early
in the action, and the command then
devolved on Major Yule.
The enemy as they fled, were fol-
lowed by the cavalry, mounted infan-
try and artillery. The direction taken
was to the eastward. At the latest re.
ports the cavalry had not returned.
A rough estimate places the British
loss at $50 killed or wounded, and that
of the Beers ut 500.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Many Stories Of Brisk Fighting Are in
Circulation.

London, Oct. 1o.-NTany stories of
brisk fighting are in circulation, but
although the forces may have come in
contact, all alleged details must be re-
garded as premature and speculative,
especially if the report be true that the
Orange Free State troops are now ia
complete possession of the railway from
Kimberley to Orange river, 10 miles
away.
The alleged virulence Of the Boers'
attacks upon Mafeking and Kimberley
can readily be understood when it is
realized that Bechuanaland is to the
Beers what Alsace-Lorraine is to
France. 1t is therefore probable both
towns will be forced to undergo long
and dreary investment before the Brit.
ish arc in position to send relief
column.
On the other side of the country the
Beers are closing around the British
outposts, and have already come into
touch with them and exchanged shots.
Therefore more stirring news is ex.
pected.
Advices from Cape Town relate that
excitement is kept up there by cease
less reports of battles, but that little
uneasiness is visible in official circles,
where the opinion prevails that MAIZE.
king and Kimberley are safe. The last
message from Kimberley, prior to the
cutting of the telegraph and railway
by the Beers, said: "All troops at
Kimberley are WE'LL"
The calling out of the Cape Colony
volunteers is supplemented by de-
cision to raise 1900 more volunteers
in Cape Colony and 1000 in Natal.
Thus the total strength of the volun.
teer forces in both places will amount
to 800 men.
