The State Department has recsived the
following dispatch from Mr. Brown. in
charge Of the American Legation at
.Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras:
''Trujiilo IN possession Of revolutlonists,
and north coast exposed TO attack.
This news. coming from Honduran
sources. is considered conclusive. It was
reported yesterday that Truiillo was be-
ing attacked from the sea by Niearaguan
war ships. These evidently eo-operated
with reyolutionists on land.
Americans Ask for War ships.
Philip Rider, secretary Of the American
Legation TO Honduras. has telegrsphed
the State Department asking that an
American war ship be sent TO Celba, a
port on the north coast of Honduras
which is threatened with attack from the
sea by the Niearaguan naval force, which
yesterday was reported at Trujillo.
No further news has been received at
the State Department Of the attack on
Trujillo. This country now has two war
ships on the Caribbean side. the gun
boats Paducah and Marietta. One of them
will probably be sent Immediately 10
Ceiba. where there are many American
interests.
It appears that the Nicarsguan naval
expedition, consisting of three steamers,
is patrolling the north coast of Honduras
threatening the towns Of Ceiba and Porto

United states Circuit Court OF Ap-
pesIs suHtains Its Patent Claims.
The United States Circuit Court OF Ap-
peals in New York has recently handed
down three decisions which are Of great
interest 10 the talking trade and
very far reaching in their consequences.
The two companies engaged in the
manufacture Of disc sound records the
American Graphophone COMPANY. makers
Of Columbia records, and the Victor
Talking Machine Company, which manu-
factures Victor records. have both sought
to obtain control OF the business under the
patents respectively owned by them.
After long litigation. the court, by
unanimous decision, sustained the Graph
ophone Company's patent and gave il a
broad construction. s. as 10 cover ali
disc records as now made in this country,
and in separate decision has held that
the material used ia Columbia records
does not infringe the Victor Patent
In the course OF the opinion. which was
concurred in unanimously. the court, re-
ferring 10 Columbia disc records, said:
The disc produced by the patented process re-
spends 20 the test of success where Others have
failed. The uatentabie noTelty Of the process oi
tse patent is not ony indicated ty large sales. but
also by the unsssaahle evidence II that most sin-
cere form Of Aattering recognition; namely. imita.

that apparently al disc reconds are now made hy
said process and conHlaiHauts chief comHsttG has
discarded it, patented etching pfooess and has
substituted therefore the process o! the patent in

The effect Of the decision is to give the

The bells Of old St. Michaei's in Charles

and a eheckered career. II Is said this
church was designed by Gibbs, architect
Of ST. Martit-in-t the Fields. London. When
1t was finished. February 1. 1861. the clock
in the tower and the bells in the taIl stee-
PIE had been brought at great expense
from England. In 1852 Maj Fraiile,
British officer. took the bells away, and
despite the pIeadings OF the Charleston
people the English government would not
restore them. However. they were sold in
England and bought by a man who re-
turned them to St. Michaeis. When the
civil war broke out the vestry had the
bells taken from their seaport home and
carried inland to Columbia for safety. IN
doing this they had not reckoned on Sher-
man, and when he burned Columbia the
bells were rendered useless. and two OF
them We're stolen. IN 1866 the remaining
ones were sent again 70 England to be
recast by the successors of the firm that
had made them, and ia 1868 they were re-
hung
An old story Of St Michaers tells OF a
negro slave who once saved the sacred
structure from burning. A building was
on fire near by. there was no fire-fghting
paraphernalia that could throw water any
distance. and when a brand was blown
high on the steepie OF st. Michaels the
people were in distress. for they knew IT
meant the destruction OF their beloved
church. Then a negro slave sprang from
a cabin near by, made his way through
the crowd. climbed the steeple, and threw
the brand far out in the street He man
aged TO reach the ground in safety, and
his master set him free as a reward for
his brave act.

New York. Jan. 26.-Dr. Charles
w. Townsend, one of the best known
physicians and surgeons on Staten Is
land, was shot and probably mortal
ly wounded at his home. New Brigh-
ton, S. l., earl ytoday.
The case is surrounded with mys-
terry, but IL is believed that Doctor
Townsend was the victim of a man
who sought revenge for a real or
fancied wrong. That it was not q
burglar appears borne out by the fact
that nothing was taken from the
house, and by the stories told by the
neighbors.
The coroner declines to make
known any information obtained from
the doctor or from the wife of the
deceased. They declare that to do
so would tend to defeat the ends of
justice.
DR.. Townsend and wife were awak-
ened about 4 o'clock by slight noise,
and a moment later were startled by
the flash of a match revealing a man
holding a revolver. Seeing the in
truder Townsend attem pied to arise.
but before he could do so the assassin
fired three shots at him, two of which
took effect. The assassin then fed.
When Mrs. Townsend tried to call as
sistance she found two telephone
wires cut. but the third evidently had
been overlooked.

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The rebuff of the
socialists in yesterdays election has
astonished everybody. While the
general result of the election had
been considered in doubt, nearly ev-
erybody believed that no matter how
the other parties Jared, the socialists
would gain. The extent of their de-
feat is now the only question. The
prediction is made that their claim
of 3,oO0,O 900 supporters will be cut in
half Most of the former supporters
of socialism who failed to support
their ticket, are supposed to have
voted with the radicals.
Result of Election.
The results of the reichstag election
have been officially declared in 361
out of 397 districts The socialists
lost seventeen seats and gained one.
The counter party lost two and gain
one. The two conservative parties
lost three and gained four. The mod
crates lost one and gained three. The
national liberals lost six and gained
ten. The agrarians lost four and
gained three. In 361 districts only
209 members were elected, second
ballot being necessary in 152 dis
tricts. The socialists, who had twen-
ty-one out Of twenty-three Saxon dis
tricts, have been victorious In only
seven districts.

~
Ii c
A Fake Nevada Mine Broker
age Firm and It's
Operator.

Several months ago the newspapers
of the southwest and also some OF
the big eastern dailies published full
page advertisements of Mackey, Mon
roe & Co, mine brokers and dealers.
supposed to be doing business i'm Ton
opah, Nevada. This firm OF fakirs
instructed the newspapers. accepting
their advertisement, to send marked
copies containing same, with their
bills. promptly when payment would
be made, but as far as this office has
been able to learn these fakirs have
paid no bills. They have even ignored
drafts drawn on them, and pay no
attention whatever TO letters or hills
sent to them.
Here is what /. G. Bronson. editor
and proprietor of the Tonopah Sun,
thinks OF them:
"Tonopah, NeY, Jan 5.-In the
absence of the writer on an eastern
trip, letter from you inquirlng an
to the financial responsibility of Mac
key. Munroe & Co, was received az
this office and we are not sure wheth-
er or not II has been answered How
eyer, in case you have not received a
reply, we will now state most en-
phatically that you win never get any
money from that phantom firm of
bankers and brokers. In fact. no
such firm ever had offices In Tono-
pah. although we have an idea that
one, Il. X. Hauer, was ale author OF
the advertisement published and the
writer knows said Hauer to be as
crooked as dogs hind leg. and, fur
thermore, the writer happened to be
one of the directors of the Mizpah
club of this city which had the
pleasure OF eNpelling Mr. Hauer from
membership in the club for his crook
edness."

"SCOTTY'S" MYSTERIOUS
GOLD MINE LOCATED

a San Bernardino dispatch says:
The mysterious gold mine of Walter
Scott, the Death Valley miner, for
which hundreds of miners searched
in vain, has been located. This was
possible only when "Scotty," through
his partner, A. M. Johnson. filed a
location notice recently, although he
has worked the mine for two years
and a half.
The mine Is a placer property, in
an isolated district, and its location
shows the shrewdeness of "Scotty."
for while he had claims on the east
side of Death Valley, in the Funeral
range of mountains, his real source
of wealth was on the west side, in the
Panamint range. The "Sheephead"
for that is the name of the mine
has been carefully located, not mere
ly by the usual signs of the desert
prospector, but by careful surveys,
which name it's exact location by de-
grees and minutes.

FRENCH FISHERIES HAVE
BEEN ABANDONED

St Johns, N F., Jan. 26.-Owing
to the great scarcity of cod fish off
the Island of st. Pierre the French
feet has abandoned the fishery, and
over 1000 persons have immigrated
to the United States. There are now
empty sheds, stores, shops, and
houses all about the town of st.
Pierre and Miquelon in various stages
of disrepair and decay. while the
remaining merchants are trying TO
dispose of their goods to follow the
immigrants. Everything in the way
of merchandise has to be imported
as the islands produce nothing, be-
ing used entirely for the fish indus
try. The cod export, which in 1898
was more than $3000,000, dropped
last year to more than half that
sum. On an average there are 100
days of fog in these islands. The
British fishery on the other islands,
however, is thriving and the fleets
getting larger each year,
