I of Chiapas show that a revolution I against tlie existing administration of I President Estrada Cabrera, of Guate- , E? t I mala, has broken out, and that Guate- c l\ mala was invaded from four points by c | as many bodies of armed men, ail \ [ equipped with the best modern rides. t t General Manuel Leaudro Barrillas, s pj ex-President of Guatemala, with 200 j [' cavalry and a stock of 700 rifles, crossed t j toe Mexican border at a point uear n Motozinla, aiming at Quetzatlange, a 0 large town garrisoned by Guatemalan ^ I regulars. Barrillas has great coffee estates in that neighborhood, where , he is very popular and whence he was ^ ?) driven four years ago by President Ca- s W brera. v Barrillas successfully evaded the a search of the authorities. He will re- j i ; cruit new men on his march across the r mountains, the people being loyal to a . bim, he says. g ; ? Jose Leon Castillo captured Ocos u j "without much opposition beiug shown. a He took that point with 5<X) men. and j) y was received with enthusiasm by the t B. people. Simultaneously General Toledo, ex- ^ ^/Minister of War in Guatemala, crossed n into Guatemala with 2000 troops, in- a eluding the Salvadorean regulars and ^ disaffected Guatemalans, largely ref&; ugees from the tyranny of Cabrera. r Thin imnnrtnnl- hoilv nf trnnns is woll ..

All foreign planters in Guate- ^ mala are disgusted with the oppressive E&Aregime of Cabrera, and the onerous ^ , taxation and are rallying to the support e of the levolution. ^ V*'' German planters offered a drilled j, g: , body of men. Americans and British ^ are similarly disaffected. Guatemala is reported honeycombed r with sedition, so high runs popular seutlment against President Cabrera who. for a long time, has had to make his public appearance with an armed guard } to protect his person.

Chief Secre- a tary for Ireland, introduced in the s House of Commons a bill authorizing li a loan of $22,500,000 to provide labor- p ers' cottages in Ireland.

I .< MIMIC THE' SHIP ; *oe So Popular That This Fish j Seems Doomed. i ? aovernment Expert Declares They Are Rapidly Disappearing Under Rapacity of Fishermen. Washington. D. C.?"Shad fisheries j >f the Atlantic coast are doomed unless 1 he States take immediate steps to pro- j ect them from the rapacity of the fish- | "rmen." is the opinion held by John W. i ["itcomb. in charge of the hatching ser- | ice of the United States Fish Commls* : ion. The great demand for shad roe pre- I ents natural spawning aud perpetua- ' ion of the species. The bureau is now j losing the hatching and distribution ?f shad for this year, and reports from ! -arious stations give startling evidence j hat the supply of shad on the Atlautie 1 eaboard is rapidly diminishing. Failities of the bureau allow the hatch- j ng and setting free in the streams of 1 he country of 300.000.000 shad fry an- j lually. but this year only about 45,000,- I' 00 have been handled. The output j ras 63.493,000 in 1904. and last year it . ras below 57.000.000. Mr. Titcomb predicts that in ten ears, without the intervention of State | protective laws, shad will become so j carce in the Atlantic rivers that they ; rill be purchasable only by the stew- ; rds of big hotels and those who sup j It- t.ihlos nf flit* verv wea'.thv. Habits of the shad lead themselves dmirably to the extermination of the sh. They approach the shores in im- i sense schools, actually crowding one nother in their efforts to reach tlio |. ead of the fresh water streams, when? ; lie spawn is deposited. The fishermen j ave learned how to intercept the run ; y nfts in the bays and in the broad j louths of the rivers, and the market- j ble shad are now uearly all caught iu ; bis way. Few roe shad escape the nets. The ( ivers are thus much depleted, the nat I ral spawning of the fish interfered j rith and the supply of eggs available or the hatching bureau cut off. In pointing out a remedy Mr. Tit , omb says it is incumbent on the States 0 enact restricting laws against the iking of fish in the brackish waters ot 1 1 4-Ua mAnfhe /\f flio rf TT. 1 Lit!

He believes the fish should be al jwed to ascend the rivers unmolested, t least during oue of the annual rung, j ossibly that in May. and during a con ! iderable part of the shad season the j atch should be limited to fresh water. i Streams on the Pacific coast have 1 pen stocked, and the shad transplant d from Its native waters in the Atlan* j ic Ocean with good results. Shad are icreasing in California and other Western rivers under the restrictive nvs there enforced. KEPT TROLLEY OFF. j lississippi's Famous Shell Highways j Not to Be Profaned. Pass Christian. Miss.?"We will walk ather thau have trolley tracks on 6ui i hell roads!" was the decision of a re- j ent town meeting, and President i ones, of the Gulf and Ship Island ! Railroad Company, had to promise to ! iv his road's new trolley feeder on a J rivate right of way. Tlie shell roads f Mississippi's coast have been faious for eighty years. Shaded by nes of beautiful live oaks, they wind 1 and out. now showing an old-time : outhern mansion, now a glimpse ot tie blue Gulf. Locally they are said to , e the best in the country. The many rinter visitors from the North seldom i ispute this claim. The finif nnd Shin Island Railroad, | -hich controls transportation in South- j rn Mississippi, is building a trolley j ne for thirty miles along the coast as j feeder. Pass Christian people are de- j jrmined that the trolley must keep off iieir roads. Other people's roads did ot matter, hut the shell roads must j e sacred to the horse and. under pro- i jst. the automobile. As the rails came nearer interest rew, until the town had not so been tirred since the war. and a town meet- | ig resulted. The sense of the meeting : ,*as that, while trolley roads can be \ uilt anywhere, shell roads can be ; uilt iu few other localities than the lississippi coast. Captain Jones prom- 1 ?ed that no profaning pick should ouch the beloved shells, but that the i ne would be built as near the highway j s possible. And so Pass Christian's hief pride and ornament will remain ntarnished. PITCHED CHILDREN TO PLOW, j 'armer Compels Four Little Ones to Drag a Ten-Acre Garden. Oshkosli.

PACKERS EQUALLY GUILTY j oth Oppose the Bill For Rigid Governmental Inspection. ISEASED CATTLE SLAUGHTERED p I igures Showing That 200,000 Live . Animals Were Rejected at Chi- j cago Last Year---Beef Trust ! Combined Against the People. Washington, D. C.?It is not alone ie meat packers but the stock raisers i ho are in the busiuess of fooling the ; ublic, and certain members of Confess are getting ready .to prove, not | 7 magazine writers, but by the official j ;cords, that these stock raisers ought ( >t to receive sympathy. Coupled with ' ie exposure of the stock raisers is to I 1 une an attack on the cauners of fruits j ad vegetables. Just now the Presi- j . 2nt is interested in the figures prov- j . ig how diseased live stock is sent to j j ie slaughter houses. In Chicago there ! :e only twenty-three establishments 1 ader the inspection of Federal offi- i als. The others have city inspection, j a the country at large fifty cities i ave in all 152 establishments where | 1 leats are inspected. The figures from these in the Bureau ' Animal Industry for the last yeai low that 1 Go, 104 animals were qoneruned by Federal and city inspectors, II having come with disease from the tock farms. This proves that the inspection was ot.as lax as alleged in recent stories, [ lit it shows the stock raisers to be ;norant or criminal. Of the live stock jndemued for disease the figures give 26.2G2 hogs, 19,879 cattle, 9701 sheep mi moo Miroo r?f tiioco tho pitv in- i [lectors discovered in fifty cities 19,899 ! ogs, 4289 calves, S98 cattle and 411 i leep. Tuberculosis was the chief dis- I ise. Infacttwo-thirdsofallcoudemned j ere found with this malady. The | ecords show that 4913 animals were I sund suffering with abscesses or yemia; 1705 with enteritis, peritonitis r luitris; 1384 with septicemia, and | 3.533 with hog cholera. It is hardly necessary to say the | hippers could not have been ignorant f these conditions. Their anxiety now j 3 rush to the support of the Chicago ; ackers indicates that they fear not ! >ss of trade, but a more rigid inspec- j on. An official of the Bureau of Ani- | in 1 Industry says that the inspection i f live stock now is meagre and that, j 'ith a proper force, twice as many j attle, hogs aud sheep would be con- | emned. The stock raisers have been I arned several times, but have felt ; rnt, with the Beef Trust to aid them, i ley could defy the department ex- j ?pt in notorious cases. It is certain that they get animals ! irough without inspection. Then they J vade the law by insisting that live j took traveling interstate is not sub- | jet to Federal inspection, some or i liis stock is killed outside cities, and \ lere is no inspection of any sort. Few ! f the cities have one-third the force ; ecessary. and so, with the assistance i f the Beef Trust, the stock raisers j et rid of diseased cattle. The figures ; or last year, incomplete as they are, j how part of the truth. I OUR BEEF SCANDAL ABROAD. uestlon of Protecting ' BrltUli Public to ; He Ilalged in the Commons.

A BILL to promote the construction of a national system of good roads, facilitate the extension of the, postal service, and lessen 4he dependence of ttio agricultural and industrial interests of the country upon the railroads for transportation has been Introduced in Congress by Representative Hearst, of New York. The bill has attracted a great deal of attention, and it is understood its author will leave no stone unturned to get it through Congress. The bill provides in effect that any State or Territory or any county thereof which shall have authorized and undertaken. subject to plans and specifications filed with and duly approved in writing by the Secretary of Agriculture, the construction or reconstruction of more than ten miles of public road outside the limits of any city 01 incorporated village shall be entitled to receive out of the United States Treasury, under certain conditions, one half the cost thereof. The Secretary of Agriculture shall sign warrants,for such payments only after it has been established to his satisfaction: First, that the road for assistance in whose construction claim is made of sufficient public importance to come within tho purview of the act, taking into account its use, location and value as a main market road, a mail route and as an integral part of a national system of good roads. Second, that the State, Territory or county claiming payment has made suitable and adequate provision for the payment of one-half tlie cost of tbe entire construction or improvement authorized and undertaken, and for the permanent maintenance thereof without recourse to the United States. Third, that the work has been done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and at the cost claimed. No payment herein provided for shall be made except as the work of actual construction progresses, and in no case shall the payment or payments made 1 by the United States in advance of the final completion of a road, for assistance in whose construction claim is 1 made, exceed forty per centum of the cost of the work then actually completed. The Secretary of Agriculture is given authority to employ the necessary engineers, inspectors and clerks, and make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry the proposed law into effect. The bill appropriates $50,000,000 for the purposes of the act, but provides that not more than $10,000,000 shall be expended in any year. Such sum shall be apportioned among the States and ? * ^ ?I* ftloimn o T'O ro. rerritories irum ?uau unmo ceived in proportion that the population of the several States and Territories, reckoned according to the last Federal census, bears to the total population of the United States.

Hall Proceia of Making White Metal Noir Open to All. On April 2. 1906, the patent of Charles M. Hall on a process for makiug aluminum expired. This patent was granted to Mr. Hall on April 2, 1880. It protected the use of an electrolyte composed of cryolite as a solvent for bauxite, and one of its special features of value is that it possesses llie important property of being easily fusible. Charles M. Hall is connected with the Pittsburg Reduction Company, of Niagara Falls, and this patent 1 has given the Pittsburg Reduction Company a practical monoply of the manufacture of aluminum in this country. While the Hall patent has expired it is stated in Niagara Falls that the method of operation of the Pittsburg Reduction Company is still protected by the patent granted to Mr. Bradley, one of the early pioneer workers in the aluminum field, and which does not expire until February 2. 1909. Naturally, the expiration of the Hall patent will inspire others to enter the field to manufacture the metal that has such a wonderful demand as has aluminum. It is intimated that competing ??? olMoHr hllt it mflV ' ' v*ULi\a cii.c aucauj ? be.that .any marked progress will be delayed by the Bradley patent, which, it is acknowledged, is of fundamental importance in the manufacture of aluminum, as it covers the use of the ' electric current, as weil as keeping the electrolytic,bath in a molten condition and effecting its decomposition and setting the aluminum free at the cathode. In Niagara Falls the Pittsburg Re-, auction Company has contracted with the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Company for a block of 27,000 electrical horse power, to be available in 1907. During the \ present year thi ompany proposes erecting a very ?arge new works on the lauds of the power company men- ^ tioned, and considering the fact that the Hall patent lias expired ana tue , Bradley patent will expire, the activity may indicate that within a few years " aluminum will be wonderfully plentiful and cheap. Still, it is generally admitted in business circles that for all the Pittsburg Reduction Company has had a monopoly of the manufacture of aluminum In the United States, it has never used this power to unduly boost the price, but ever since the late Captain Hunt established the great works at Niagara Falls the price of aluminum Las steadily declined. ' "-a The demand is far greater than the supply at present. Should aluminum be made in much larger quantitlesv4n Niagara Falls or other localities, and a lessening of the price follow, it may ?& be expected to affect the price of copper, which metal it has already supplanted in many fields. Found Lout Coins After Fifty Tear*. \ $ Mrs. William Maine, of North Stonington, is the owner of some gold coins which have Come to her in a peculiar Over forty-five years ago Johu Robinson, iu company with three or four other men, was trying different feats ' of strength, among them being a jumping contest. Mr. Robinson had $52.50 in gold in his vest pocket at the time, and after the contest he missed the mouey. A search was made, and two -fj $20 gold pieces were f^udd, but nothing of the remaining $12.50. Last fall Mr. Maine, who now lives >;$ on the farm, saw something glistening iu the hen yard.
