May See War
In Central America

/ Mexico City, July 3. - Word, has
reached this city that President Cab
rera of Guatemala has caused the ar
rest of 100 citizens of that republic on
the charge of alleged completely in the
recent attempt to assassinate him. All
were thrown into prison and later
herded into squads of 20 and tried in
groups. Two bands have tried and
many been of the accused sentenced to
death. Among the men imprisoned are
some of the most wealthy and promi-
nent men in the country. The state
ment is made that these men have long
been on Cabrera's blacklist. and the
charges made against them were trum-
ped up for political reasons.
The report has created excitement
among Central America residents in
this city, and at mass meeting to be
held Sunday the matter will be dis
oussed.
When the news of the wholesale ar
rest became generally known, the dip
lomatic corps, with the exception of
Phillip M. Brown, the United States
charge d'affaires, protested. No at
tention was paid to these protests by
President Cabrera.
The British minister was thereupon
charged with drawing up note detail
ing the incidents of the trial, which
was characterized as a farce. This
note is to be sent to the powers.
The dispatch says that absolute chaos
reigns in Guatemala. Farmhands are
being impressed for military service,
and crops are rotting in the fields The
rich are threatened with ruin unless
they contribute to the war fund.
Troops are being hurriedly rushed to
the Mexican frontier and the Hondur- !
an borders. and San Salvador. Special |
trains of artillery are being sent out to |
the frontier. The legations are being |
beseiged by relatives and friends of the
imprisoned men, who fear that they
will be unceremoniously put to death.

NATIONS FAT BANK ROLL.
Fiscal Year Begins With Surplus Of
More Than Saz 100000.

More Than $s7, 100000
WESTINGHOUSE far as working pur-
poses are concerned the fiscal year OF
the government closed recently with a
surplus Of substantially $4,000, 900,
one of the largest net balances ever
shown. In the fiscal year 1902 there
was surplus of $91, 1891 ,S72, but that
was the largest since 1890
While the official figures for the
fiscal year will not be announced for
a few days, the figures available are
approximately accurate. They show
that in the year just closed the reve-
nue. was $685., S06.1S4, and expenditures
$57S,S76,70 as compared with receipts
of 1894 ,454,121 for the last fiscal year
and expenditures of s56S,7S4, 799, the
surplus In that year being $25. 669, 1922.
There has been a tremendous in
crease in receipts in the year just clos
ing, while the expenditures have been
only about $10,000,00v in excess of last
year. The largest increase in receipts
has been from customs. although in
ternal revenue has shown a big gain.
The receipts this fiscal year in customs
were $SSS,230 126, and in internal reve-
rue $270.309,3SS.
The customs receipts last year held
the record up to that time and this
years income from that source is
about $33,000,000 in excess of last
year.

and when my three children are at
home from school there are generally
several dances each week on my drying
floor. In the daytime when the place
is not occupied by coffee beans there
is always a game of tennis going on.
AS the demand for Mexican coffee

of the supply, have never experienced
any trouble in dispOsing Of my crop ut
a good figure. Perhaps in the course
of time there may be an over supply,
but I don t look for it in my day.
Coffee planting is not work that
many people rush into, because to most
beginners five years seems a long time
to wait for your first paying crop.
Most people wish to put their money in
something that will give quick returns.

Gin almost every other field there
seem to be women acting as middlemen

WHITE LABOR IN
AUSTRALIAN CANE

The Sydney Morning Herald of June
25, has the following:
Under the auspices or the Womerah
branch of the Australian Natives AS
| ISOLATION, Mr.. R. NJ. Shannon, at the
School of Arts, last night delivered a
lecture on the sugar industry in North
ern Queensland and eolored labor. Mr..
Shannon, who has been a planter for
fourteen years, said he was not going
to enter on an argument as TO whether
white men could cut few sticks of
sugar cane in the fields of Northern
Queensland. 1t would be an insult to
our countrymen to say that they could
not do what kanakas had done. The
question which concerned them most,
and which he would deal with, was
what were they going TO do to make
the whole of their great northern lands
serviceable for their own people. The
sugar industry had been Graded in
slavery. The men who had taught
Australians how to grow the cane had
learned the industry in Jamaica, Cuba,
and Mauritius, among black labor, and
thought it could not be successfully
carried on under different conditions.
It was this which had had much to
do with the start of the agitation for
the introduction of the kanaka. The
labor was not distressing when COM
pared with other work undertaken by
Australians. In support of this, he
quoted the progress made by the small
farmers who had been encouraged by
the introduction of the central mill
system to go in for cane growing. The
total area under cane In 1902, said Mr..
Shannon, was $4,000 acres. In 1906
it was 13I, 900 acres, and of this 10000
was grown by white labor. The pro-
duction for those years was 1900 and
178,000 tons respectively, and of the
latter quantity $4,000 tons was the
product of white labor In 1902 there
were 2496 white men growing cane in |
Queensland, and at the beginning of |
1906 the number had increased to 4230. |
It was mainly the owners of the big |
who were in favor of black |
labor, and if these people were to pass
out altogether, the industry would get |
along quite well without them. The !
employment Of white labor had led to /
better conditions and better work, and
% the development of natural indus
tries in other directions. In fighting
The hardships of the north they were |
earning TO grow into people, with a /
strong national feeling, and by the en-
enlargement of white settlement. in
he event of an invasion they wouId
nave men familiar with the peculiar
conditions of the north available at a
5 notice. Some Asiatie ma
ions knew of this continent hundreds
# years ago. but thy were not colo
lists. Now that we had done all the
lard pioneering, they were beginning

SOME SAD SEQUELS.

The gypsy moth is still gypsying in
Massachusetts,. Ii seems to have start
ed chain of disaster which is likely
to be endless. There is no end in sight
to the money which must be spent in
fighting it. There is no end in sight to
the ruin it is going to bring to trees.
And now we read that the squirrels on
Boston common are rapidly dying of
poison and are near extinction. 1t
appears that the trees on the Common
have been sprayed with preparation
in order to keep off the moths, and
that the squirrels are poisoned by it,.
They seem to get the poison on their
furry coats as they climb about and
then when they wash themselves, after
the manner of cats. they get the sub
stance into their systems
Perhaps we shall soon read that dogs
are eating the poisoned squirrels and
dying and then that birds are getting
poisoned in the trees. If the parasites
which are relied on to eat the moths
fail something more will have to be
done. 1t is a sad commentary on things
that gypsy moths have more definite
ness and persistence than Democrats,

HARTFORD FOLKS IN NEW HAVEN

The Hartford Post evidently visited
New Haven during the recent celebra-
ton, for 1t has since been telling the
wondering people of Hartford about
some of the things it thinks it saw
here. For instance: "a drunken man
may lie sprawled out, half dressed, on
the brilliantly Illuminated Central
Green, beside the path on which
thousands of people are parading
while a band concert is going on
without a cent in his pocket, and no
body will disturb him." This indicates
what looking without seeing and
speaking without thinking will do
That man was not drunk. He was {
Hartford man, so overcome by the
splendors Of the Green Beautiful tha
he wanted to rest forever there. Why
should he have been disturbed? The
good people and the good policemen OF
New Haven know the difference be.
tween the contentment caused by SUI
pernal beauty and the contentment
caused by internal rum. So they pc.
litely let this lucky Hartford mar
alone. He is duly grateful to them fol
allowing him to rest and dream un
disturbed in the midst Of such Par
adisaical surroundings. But how
must he feel toward his undiscriminat-
ing home paper?"
BY the way, how did the Post fine
out that this man didn't have cen
in his pocket?

electric service between New York and
New Rochelle In a few days Stamford
will be connected and then the expert
ment of driving the great railroad by
electricity will be on.
From what has been seen of the de-
velopment of the electric service
throughout New England during the
past fifteen years we are all justified
in believing that 1t will be but short
time before the patrons of the road will
travel from one end of the system to
the other in cars propelled by electrici-
ty No doubt attaches to the expert
ment as did to the introduction Of the
third rail. The experts this time feel
sure that they have solved the problem
and that it will be but short time
before the scrap heap claims the steam
engine.
We forbear to dwell upon the delights
of skimming over the surface Of the
ground driven by electricity or upon
the expected reduction in the cost. One
thing Is reasonably certain. Travellers
will take to trip to New York or Bos-
ton in the good old summer time with
the same delight they now take in a
trolley ride Ia slice of the millennium il
in sight.
