THE FARMERS UNION.

meeting of the Farmers .,,,o of Nevada County held at 'a. oourt house Saturday, called ,or ,nr nurpose of devising some loa ons for relief of present de- u..sd u.sSed condition of cotton, and ,rhich the merchants Of Pres U were asked to come, It was Soe;ded Sosa to request the cotton buy auf srs of the town to refrain from s s"yine cotton for a period, with .%o uDs hone that such action univer- soi s over the south would bring .Se M nrice of the stap.e up to nor nal stage. ,

None of the huvers at that time were prepar- ed to give the committees a decis- i've answer, but promised to take the matter under advisement.
 At meeting of the buyers held this morning it was decided to nostpone taking a stand until an ther meeting of the union was held. which will be next Satur- day. when probably a more com plete understanding could be reached. But during the waiting neriod. they will purchase all cot ton offered on the Prescott mar ket.
 Some very exaggerated reports have gone forth regarding the action of the union Saturday, and which we believe, does 1t an injustice. There were no threats made, no retaliation suggested, and no spirit manifested by the committee, save what might be

 The Farmers Union for the most part are composed of some Of the best citizens of Nevada county men whose honor and in tegrity are above reproach, and men whom merchants would trust with money or merchant disc.
 The situation demands the ut most care and consideration in solving. and being business matter can only be settled in a business way. Any other kind of effort would naturally result in a complete failure That the men who head the Farmers Un- ion and the merchants of Pres cott can agree on safe course to pursue we confidently believe as what is best for one gives the other the greatest amount of benefit.

The presi- dent and the two secretaries were in close conference until o'clock when all sat down to dinner with the presi- dents family.
 After dinner the conference was re. sumed and continued until at quarter to o'clock when Acting Secretary Bacon departed for Westbury.
 Secretary Root and the president, ac' | companied by two of the president, sons, were seen later, starting towart the beach in Cold Spring Harbor, wher' the president goes bathing. Some o the party carried towels, and 1t wa supposed all were bound for a coolins l dip in the bay

 General William Cro2ier, chief of the bureau of ordnance, had this to say to- day of the team:
 "The magnificent performance of the rife and ammunition as shown by the victory of the American team, demon strated that the shortening of the army rifle has not been followed by any de- crease in It's accuracy as predicted and the ammunition used though not of government make, nevertheless carried a sharp pointed bullet similar to the one recently adopted by this depart ment.

REVOLUTION TO END IN UNION Scheme of Cabrera Calls for Bringing Three Central
 American Republics
 Under One Head.
UPRISING WELL ORGANIZED
Captors of Towns Have Been Salva- doreans-Honduras Officially Declared in State
 of War.

Puerto Cortez. Honduras, July &, via New Orleans, July 12.-The fight Eg which has occurred about Gracias and Choluteca bears the earmarks of organized revolution. The reports say the attacks on these towns were begun by small bodies of armed men who were at first repulsed by government troops, but who returned to the at- tacks and finally won. Although the captors of these towns were said to be men from Salvador, significant fact is that just preceding their ap- pearance in Honduras, officials of this government claim to have received notice of a preconcerted plan for up- risings throughout Honduras. To nip these uprisings in the bud, several ar rests were made here and at San Pedro, before the Honduran frontier was invaded from Salvador.
 Apparently the Honduran officials lbelieve these arrests have effectually 6QudlClltu tilt ItNoiulioiiuiy iiNNNhiShN among the residents of this country, but they fear that the appearance of fresh bodies of invaders from any of the other republics may revive an arm ed opposition in Honduras.

 Report places two of the leading per. sonalities of the five republics at the head of the present imbrogllo.
 Strada Cabrera, president of Guate- mala, and Manuel Bonilla, who was a year ago deposed by revolution from the presidency of Honduras, are these alleged leaders, and while the reports differ as to the details of their plan, an attack of Nicaragua is said to be their aim. It Is said that If Honduras ie gained possession of, the revolutions fists will make Bonilla president again and that General -Jmingo Vasque7 will march at the head of an army into Nicaragua.
