HOMES FOR AMBASSADORS.
Longworth's Amendment Goes Out on
 Point of Order.

LongwOTth's Amendment Goes Out OF
 Point of Order.
 Washington, May 29.--During the consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill today in the House. an interesting debate was had on the amendment proposed by MT. Longwarth of Ohio. to appropriate one million dol lars for the acquisition in foreign capi- tals of proper sites and buildings for the embassies and legations of the United States for the residences of Am- bassadors and Ministers to foreign countries.
 MT. Longworth. in urging the amend ment. which went out on a point of order, insisted that by providing res idences for our Ambassadors, the ques- ton of rent would be eliminated. He said this was now the largest neces- sary expense. With a residence pro- yided by the government. a man of moderate means could live In a digni- fled way on his salary. All other na- tions, he said. either own their own residences or allow liberally for rent.
 MT. Shirley. (Ky) discused the wasteful extravaganza, the outrageous and un-American method of living of some of our representatives abroad SC
 He spoke of the representatives Of America to the Court of St. James, pay ing s4o,0Oo a year for house rent In London and remarked that he was not representing but misrepresenting the country that honors him..

PROCLAMATION OF REBELS.
Barilla and Rarrios Say They stand Fo
 Radical Reform.

Mexico City, May 29-The Mexican government was aware that for some time past dissatisfaction with the re- gime of President Caberia was wide- spread in Guatemala and that several malcontents had gathered in the Mex ican State of Chiapas. The Governor there required General Barilla to move to Tonala, some distance from the bor- der, in order to prevent violations of the international law.
 General Barilla and General Castil- 10, on crossing the line Sunday night. distributed a proclamation to the in- habitants of Guatemala. Among other things the proclamation to the in \ ;bi- tants recites that the standard O. re- vole has been raised at the two ex- tremes of The republic against Cabeira the most calamltous figure of our con- temporaneous history. who. having pos- sessed himself of power by crime, has perpetrated himself therein by a chain of crimes.
 The proclamation continues:
 We desire. with the entire country, radical reform of the constitution of 1879, In order that 1t may fulfill the aspirations of true liberals who are such by the principles and conviction. not of usurers who don the Phrygan cap for lucre, and who, calling them selves the champions of law and lib- erty, pass their lives in open enmity with all liberty and all law. We de- sire that reform that guarantees that the individual may no longer be at the mercy of the first despot who has a mind to trample on him so that there may be no more savage torture. arbitrary imprisonment, nor executions without trial in Guatemala: so that justice may be done to him who Is en- titled thereto.
 eve desire a Legislature freely cleo ted hy tn, people We desire a change in the blundering foreign policy of President Cabeira. We desire to cuI- tivate with our sister republics cor dial and truly fraternal relations. in stta4 o' provoking by disregard of others rights continual pecuniary claims on the part of foreign powers Our own government should prove by the uprightness of its acts and not by pettifogging subterfuges that the foreigner can live in our midst in the same way as any other civilized coun- try and that we don't deserve to be classed in the matter of international usaee with the barbaric States.
 eve desire purity, order and econ onv in the administrative expendf- ture through the settlement of our in- ternai and external debts
 eve desire silver as the basis of currency and the abolition of the pres ent disgraceful paper money regime
 "Compatriots. we urge you to join me and rally round the banner of na- tionsI regeneration. Our mind is made m and we will rise and achieve the reeeneration of our country or meet glorious death.
 The proclamation was signed by Generals Barilla and Barrios and was very lengthy.

CONVENTION
 IN AN UPR0AR Warm Times With Tennessee Democrats. FREE FIGHTS ON THE FLOOR Partisanship Runs High and
 Pandemonium Reigns. M - Three Candidates For Nomination For Governor Finally Decide To
 Name Committee Which VIII
 Select Chairman.
FREE FIGHTS ON THE FLOOR

Nashville. Tcnn.. May 29.-The State Democratic convention which met here today to nominate candidates for Gov ernor and Railroad Commissioners, ad- Journed at 6:10 o'clock this evening un- til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with out even having effected temporary or ganization.
 It was decidedly the most turbulent body of the kind that ever assembled in Tennessee. Pandemonium and free fights were the rule and 1t was with the utmost difficuity that any sort of record of proceedings could be made. Adjournment was reached after an un- 6erstapding between leaders of oppos. ing factions that the three gubernato- rial candidates. Governor John I. Cox, Congressman Malcolm R. Patterson and Judge John R. Bond. each name four representatives who shall constitute committee to decide on temporary chairman.
 Before this agreement was effected, the battle over contested delegations occupied the entire time of the conven- tion, which is the largest in the his- tory of Tennessee politics. Many coun- ties are contested and the vast Ryman auditorium where the convention sat. was taxed to its utmost capacity The services of the police were necessary from the outset.
 Vice Chairman W. K. Abernathy. of the State Committee. called the con- vention to order at noon.
 Confusion From the Start.
 There was confusion from the very outset, and when the call of counties for selection of temporary chairman began, the uproar steadily increased.
 Challenges opened with Crockett county, and when Davidson was reach ed a battle royal was on. the widest excitement prevailing. The county was finally passed. the contest going to the Committee on Credentials. yet to be named. and slowly the roll call pro- eeeded. every move marking fresh contest
 Though chaifman Abernathy is a splendid presiding officer. he was often swept aside by the tempest and with many speaking and shouting from various parts of the hall none could be heard
 once the chairman laid down the eavel and advanced to the front of the stage. as he says, to make himself heard When he went back for the Ravei. Luke Lea of Davidson county. a Patterson supporter, had 1t and was essaying to act as presiding officer. Ab- ernathy protested. Lea was obdurate ana from then on there were two pre- siding officers ard pandemonium on the floor.
 At length, council of war between the leaders brought about temporary truce and adjournment followed.

FAST MAIL SUBSIDY.
Again Considered by the SeBate-Op-
 pocsed by Simmons,

Washington, May 2s.-The Senate again today had under consideration the subsidy for the Southern fast mail train and Senator Mallory presented an amendment in the nature of a sub etitute for the Senate amendment pro vidine that the Postmaster General shall not be required to expend the money appropriated unless 1t be nee essory to provide the same or as good a service as now provided.
 Senator Simmons opposed the amend ment. saving that as there are three railroad lines to the South equally as eood if not better service would be secured without the subsidy. He said thai no investigation as to the need of inc service had ever been made by inc nostoffice department and contend cd that such in1uiry should be made beinre the n-oneN Is expended.
 senator Mallory defended his amend ment and the subsidy as In the Inter est of an improved mall service. He said that the Southern Railway, on which the fast mail trains run is the most direct route from Washington to Atlanta. Senator Money also spoke in surport of the subsidy plan. saying that it had done much in the past twen- ty years to keep the South In touch with the country at large. He opposed

INSPECTION or MEATS.
Agricultural BiIl Now Before the House
 Committee.

C0ufmfftee.
 washin gton, May 2s.--The agricultu- ral appropriation bill. to which special interest attaches because of the meat inspection amendment placed on 1t in the Senate, is now before the House Committee on agriculture. The bill would have been sent direct to confer ence yesterday had not minority leader Williams indicated that he would ob- ject to unanimous consent for such procedure.
 There will be a meeting of the com- n,ittee before a conference Is asked.
 So far there has been no request made for q hearing on the part of the packers It is understood this request would be granted by the committee. coupled with the understanding that if the packers were heard the committee would desire also to hear the other side. and this might necessitate mak- ing public the special reports regard ing sanitary conditions, etc, now in the custody of the President.
 As analyized by members of the com mittee, the inspections and amend merts contain three new propositions. It extends the inspection to the prod uct consumed in this country; provides for a sanitary inspection of packing plants and places the cost of the in- spection to the packers.
 For some years the House Committee on agriculture has considered placing the cost of inspection on the packers and the amendment now on the agri- cultural bill was pending before the committee as separate bill, having been introduced by Representative Henry of Connecticut. It was the pur- pose of the committee to consider this measure at the present session. Dr. Melville, of the Department of Agri- culture. stated to the committee dur ing the hearings on the appropriation that the present ante mortem and post mortem inspection of cattle and hogs covered about three-fourths of the meat product.

 St, Lotus. May 29.--In the hasr ft the wilderness o1 ;. lonely island ID -..e middle oe the Mississippi, six miles above Alton, H.. free from Interruption by the officers of the law from either State, Harvey Robinson, son of John H. Robir son. Chicago attorney, and John Murphy, a Cincinnati pugilist, fought terrific fight to a finish yes- terday afternoon. The fight was for $500 a side.
 Robinson. not wishing to disclose his real identity, fought under the name of Jack Kelly of Detroit.
 The fight was the elimination of a long standing enmity between the two men, who fought with all the ferocity of two frantic animals. The battle lasted five rounds.
 Robinson won with a terrific blow over the heart, which sent his adver- sary spinning towards the ropes, over which he fell backwards and hung as if lifeIess, while the referee slowly counted ten seconds.
 Murphy was then carried to the boat. where he was bathed in cold water and his muscles rubbed vigorously until he finally regained consciousness Only twenty-five spectators witnessed the fight, the entire party having char tered a yacht at Alton yesterday and quietly gone to tho island.

JAPAN'S WAR NOTES
THEIR CIRCULATION IN MANCHU-
 RIA COMPLAINED OF.
Now Denied By Tobki0 Government That Any DiscriminatiOn Against For eigners is Permitted. But the
 Reports Do Not Cease.

Washington. May 29-From various sources the attention of the State de- partment has been drawn to what it regards as the great hindrance to for eign trade with Manchuria, caused by the circulation of the war notes is- sued by the Japanese generals in the field during the late war to the Chinese supplied either fodder, food. trans portation or labor for the Japan ese soldiers Like note were issued curing the Civil War by Union com handlers in cases of necessity, and they were all redeemed by the national gov pment in the end.
 It9is not doubted that it is the pur- pose the Japanese government to also redeem fts-potes, and in fact the but in a manner which is clsimed is giving great dissatisfaction to the for eign houses trading with Manchuria.
 The charge Is made in some of the complaints that have reached Washing ton that discrimination Is practiced to the great detriment of our trade in that quarter. It is said. however, that these charges are not official and all that comes to the department on the mere statement that the very circula- ton of these notes is injurious to American trade.
 typical report is that from Consul General Rogers at Shanghai, dealing with the reasons for the diminution of trade in that quarter, who says that besides monopolizing the transporta- tion facilities, the presence of the Japanese in Manchuria has had a de- terrent effect through the circulation of these war notes. The Shanghai merchants will not accept this paper (which Is discounted 20 per cent) in payment for their goods and the same situation prevails in Nieu Chwang, SC that foreign goods remain stored and unsold in the warehouses. That is the official side of the matter.
 The unofficial reports stat1 that nc less than fifty million of these notes were issued by the Japanese and that the Japanese officials refuse to redeem them directly from the Chinese. but oblise the latter to buy Japanese goods with the notes and afterwards redeem them, when presented by Jap anese, either in coin or in new paper notes issued by the state bank
 The Japanese government. through the embassy in Washington has ener- getically denied that any dtscrimina- ton against foreigners is practceu, | and has asserted that the war notes
 are redeemed at par. but there haS been no dimunition in the complaints on this score, and some time must pass in all probability, before the foreign traders can recover the ground that they have lost in Manchuria. through the circulation of this currency.
