Fairfield had evidently gone to the
Shanty to throw a switch, according to
his nightly custom. When the west
bound freight train, due here at 1885

operator could be found, an investiga-
ton was begun. IN
The body of Fairfield was lying in
hammock in the switchman's Ghanty.
The hands were folded across his lap
and a revolver was held in the left
hand. 1t is believed that death was
instantaneous. 1t is thought that tho
person or persons who killed Fairfield
placed the revolver in his hand in or

GUATEMALA'S COMMISSIONER
Will. Board MarbIehead at San Jose,
Probably Today.

Washington, July 1S.-The armiStice
between the warning Central American
republics went into effect at O'Clock
this morning. Mr.. Munro, the Guate-
malan minister, called at the state
department today and announced that
he had been advised by his government
and a secretary to represent Guate-
mala at the peace conference. They
will go to San Jose, Guatemala in time
to board the Marblchead which is cx-
pCcted to reach there tomorrow.
The state department has not been
advised that fighting has actually
ceased. but the American minister to
Salvador, Mr.. Merry and the American
charge at Guatemala City, sent dis
patches dated yesterday and reached
here today which announce the agree
meEt OF both Salvador and Guatemala
to stop fighting at daybreak this morn
ing.
Mr.. Combs. the American minister to
Guatemala, has not yet reached Guate-
mala City because of lack of transport
tation facilities and Mr.. Brown, the
charge. has been instructed to board
the Marblehea1 and act for Mr..
Combs until the minister reaches the
cruiser, probably next Friday.
The state department has few details
concerning the grievances of the war
ring republics.
The Guatenalan minister. Mr.. MunoZ,
is much annoyed by reports from Sal
vadorean points that Guatemala con-
tinued fighting after it had been agreed
to cease hostiitics.
"Such stories are absolutely without
foundation" he said today. "TEerc
was no agreement to cease fighting I'M
til after the armistice went into effect
this morning and the enemies of my
government are endcavoring to put it
in a false light. Negotiations for an

CAPITAL CHAT.
A Story Of Senator Hale
Of State Of Maine,
How He Saved Meat Inspection
Bill at Critical Time.
While Others "Sept on II" His Work
Saved the Measure.

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-(SpeciaU.
With the departure for Chicago of
Secretary Wilson to look into the new
work of inspecting meat, there has
come out a little story of the work of
the recent session of Congress which is
of interest in Maine. 1t pertains to
Senator Hale, who several days ago
started for his home at Ellsworth and
for a period of well earned rest.
When the fight between the Senate
and the House over the meat inspec-
ton rider on the Agriculture Appro-
priation bill was at its hottest and the
House conferces had refused to consid-
err any proposition for Il compromise.
Senator Hale one afternoon advised
that the matter go over till the next
day so that there might be time ito
sleep over it." The Maine Senator
was rot Il member of the Agricultural
committee but the Senate was looking
iournment, which, as it happens. was
largely the program that Senator Hale
had himself mapped out. The rest of
the Senate did sleep over: the matter
that night, but Senator Hale went
around to see Speaker Cannon. They
had long and serious talk over the
situation, which threatned to result in
the failure of any meat inspection legis-
lation.
As the result of that talk an agree
ment came about. Senator Hale
thought the Senate could afford to
yield considera bly, to the House and.
as soon as he had an understanding
with the Speaker about it, there was
little difficulty in bringing the agree
ment about. The next day it became
known that the conferees were going to
agree but it was all done so quietly
and so effectively that hardly anyone
was aware Senator Hale had done the
work. Other Senate leaders usually
fini, a way to let the country know
when they are achieving something in
the direction Of effective legislation, but
Mr.. Hale is modest about blowing his
own trumpet and the fact of his good
work only became known recently and
by accident.

over 10000 Guatemalan soldiers made
a desperate attack on the Salvadorean
positions, by way of Metapan. The
Guatcmaian artillery, stationed on high
plains fronting the SaIvadorean posi-
lions cannonaded the latter unceasing-
ly, though the bad quality of the shells
and the poor aim of the artillerymen
resulted in the SalVadOrcan forces eS

The thunder shower, or rather the
series of thunder showers which passed
over this vicinity Tuesday afternoon,
were very heavy. The lightning was
almost incessant, while the rain came
down in torrents. Although scores
upon scores of thunder bolts were
hurled from the towering clouds but
little actual damage was sustained by
lightning. The only loss of property re-
ported up to the writing is from Fay
