POINT FOR MRS. HARTJE.
Negroes Confession Admitted-Lawye,
Attacks Pittshurg Women.

Negroes Confession Admtted-Lawye,
Attacks Pittshurg Women.
Pittsburg. July 21.-Eyes blazing de-
fiance of all attacks on her good name,
Mary Scott-Hartje, wife of the paper
millionaire, whose husband is suing
her for divorce, sat in the witness
chair and Indignantly branded as "out-
rageously false the suggestion that
she had been guilty of improper con
duct with Clifford Hooe, her husbands
negro coachman In the same hour
the home of her father, John E. Scott.
the railroad millionaire, was watched
continuously by squad of police and
detectives to prevent the threatened
kidnapping of her two children Mrs
Hartje did not then know her son
and daughter were in peril else she
might not have been able to restrain
the maternal impulse to fly to them,
even at the sacrifice of her fame as a
wife. Warning of a plot to abduct the
boy and girl was received by Police
Superintendent Thomas McQuaide of
this city from Police Superintendent
Taylor of Philadelphia when the moth
er was in court.
The police superintendent said he
would save Pittsburg the shame of a
kidnapping IL he had to use every blue
coat In the city to do It,
Mrs. Hartje's eloquent defense of her
character important though it was, did
not supply the chief sensation of the
court session. That came when J.
Scott Ferguson, counseLto Hartje, in
redhot speech opposing the introduc-
ton of evidence as to Hooe's perjury
in making affidavit he had been init
mate with Mrs. Hartje cast slur on
many other women in this city by as
serting, Many woman high in life
socially and In this community has
sinned as this woman has DONE" re-
ferring to the defendant Ferguson's
seemingly sweeping attack on the wo-
manhood of the city was the subject
of much hot debate In clubs, hotels,
restaurants, theaters and other public
places throughout the evening and
doubtless in thousands of homes. 1t
was characterized as perhaps the most
remarkable assertion ever made in
open court in this part of the state.
A decided victory, it was considered,
was gained by John NJ Freeman. Mrs.
Hartje's attorney, in having Hooe's
confession of perjury admitted in evi-
dence. -Four statements signed by the
negro were admitted. The first was
the affidavit he made in the office of
John L. Welshons Augustus Hartje's
bosom friend, indicted jointly with
Hartje on charge of having conspired
with the coachman to defame the wo-
man in the case.

Conditions Exceptionally Encouraging
For This Time of Year.
New York. July PR. G. Dun g.
Co.'S report for the week says:
Exceptionally encouraging reports for
this time of the year are received re-
garding trade, industry and transporta-
ton, but there is no response in the
market for securities. The best news
of the past week comes from agricul-
tural sections, where progress is fully
maintained harvesting of winter wheat
promising larger yield than expected
and of good quality, while corn and
oats exceed anticipations.
Cotton picking has begun In the early
districts, and hay alone in the leading
crops threatens to be short. AS results
on the farms become assured there Is
a growth of confidence that brings out
large orders for fall and winter deliv-
cry Of all staples
Bright domestic crop prospects have
tended to weaken grain quotations. al
though the wheat market has had the
support of unfavorable reports from
Russia and more liberal export trade.
Dispatches regarding rust in the north
west attracted little attention, being
attributed to speculative origin, and
winter wheat harvesting is exceeding
the most sanguine expectations.
Commercial failures for the week In
the United States are 1872 against 202
last week, 1873 the preceding week and

TROUBLE IN MEXICO.
Americans Told to Leave country--May
Be Revolution.


Laredo, Tex, July 21.-That there is
trouble of a serious nature brewing be-
yond the Rio Grande there Is no longer
the slightest doubt. The air is full of
rumors of uprisngs, strikes, and even
the dread word revolution is freely
mentioned, and the developments of the
last day or two indicate that 1t Is In
deed the latter that is portending.
There are threats against Americans,
circulars distributed about the streets
and posted in every public place warn
ing the gringoes to leave the country
or suffer the consequences. These con-
sequences are:
That every American found in the
republic after Sept 16 will be driven
into the sea-"
In San Luis Potosi, Monterey, Sal
tillo, Guadalajara, Durango and, in
fact, all the important cities of the re-
public one Is greeted at every turn by
these printed signs threatening death
to gringoes if they don't quit the coun-
try
A great strike of all the laboring
claSseS III Ine country is proclaimed Tor
Sept. 16. The entire laboring element
is now thoroughly organized, and secret
meetings are being held night and day.
The laborers have demanded a wage
equal to that paid to Americans, and
as this has been refused on all railroads
and IN other lines the Mexican laborers
propose to drive their gringo rivals
from the country.
1t is alleged that a far deeper sig
nificance attaches to this agitation than
appears on the surface. 1t is asserted
by prominent Americans living in Mex
leo that revolution is brewing, and
with two or three prominent governors
of states In the lead. Supreme over ell

Hostillties-TroubIe Caused by Revo-
luton In Guatemala and Invasion of
Neighboring Country.
San Jose, Guatemala, July 21.-A
treaty of peace was signed by Guate-
mala, Salvador and Honduras on board
the United States cruiser Marblehead
on the high seas off the Guatemalan
coast.
There was a strenuous discussion
and some difficulty in reaching accepta-
BILE conditions. The Mexican minister,
Senior Gamboa, was active In assisting
in bringing about an agreement.
The peace commissioners adopted
resolutions thanking the presidents of
the United States and Mexico for their
intervention.
Thus the Central American war
which threatened to spread over the
whole land and possibly involve Mica
ragua and Costa Rica as we'll as the
three countries actively engaged In the
war has been brought to a termina-
ton on the initiative of President
Roosevelt, assisted by President Dia2
of Mexico.
Beginning of the Trouble.
The war began in May with the de-
-parture of expeditions from Salvador
to assist Guatemalan revolution un-
der the leadership of General Toledo.
Engagements with varying results
were fought between the insurrection-
ary forces and those of the govern
ment of Guatemala until Salvador
formally entered the conflict. A little
later Guatemalan force entered Hon
duras, the result being to array that
republic on the side of Salvador.
From the moment the trouble pass
ed beyond the phase Of an internal
disturbance the government at Wash
ington set about instituting measures
for the re-establshment of peace The
cruiser Marblehead was ordered from
Panama to La Libertad, with direc-
tions to report to Leslie Combs, Ameri-
can minister to Guatemala and Hon
duras, and Mr. Combs and William
L. Merry, minister to Costa Rica, Mica
ragua and Salvador, were instructed
to use their best endeavors to bring the
war to an end.
Mexico In Peace Move.
At the same time David e. Thomp-
son, American ambassador to Mexi-
co, was instructed to make such rep
reservations to the Mexican govern
ment as might enlist It's efforts for
the same end, Mexico's desire for
peace between its neighbors being well
known. Mexico entered heartily into
the project and its diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Guatemala and Salvador
were instructed to cooperate. with
Ministers Merry and Combs. Guate-
maia, Salvador and Honduras agreed
to an armistice to consider terms for
n treaty of peace. The conference be-
gan on Thursday, the cruiser being
then on the high seas off the coast of
Guatemala, practically neutral terri
