that Tho Twy liepubllcs (daily news
paper) today contains an editorial on
tlio intorventiou of ?e Unltod States
In tho Guatemala dispute, whK'h may
ho considered us ludkatlvo of ihy go n
??ral feeling in Mexico. It is as fol
lows: *>
"Tho t olographic announcement from
"Washington that the United States, if
ugreeablo to Mexico, will mediate in
the Mexican-Guatemala question, cre
ated no littio surprise, and comlder
able Ulssatlsfaction. Guatemala has
from t|^e commencement of the pros
Wit dispute insisted on submitting the
question qf tho question to the arbi
tration of tho Government uf tho Unit
BM S ates. Mexico has maintained
that tho question having been practi
cally settled by the treaty of 1 SN3, id
not of a character tlnu should'be sub
mitted to arbitratiou. In proposlug
to 'submit the question to arbitration
Guatemala merely wishes that matters
which h?Vi?-been fully discussed and ft
naily agrt^d upon by tho two countries
be re-opened,' wl. h the' hope tnat u new
dectaiou may be reached. It is on
this view that Guatemala caused the
invasion of tho territory which had
formally been In dispute, hut which
was, by the troa y of 1882, to be re
garded as Mexican; ponding the final
survey of t lie boundary.
"When Mexico protested against this
procedure Guatemala coolly proposed
that tho matter bo left to arbitration,
and il is understood ihe Guatemalan
minister in Washington on four dif
ferent occasions asked tho United
States Governijr.ont to offer ;jt? ser
viced for arbitration, nnd on' those foni
occasions tho request was flatly refus
ed. Now the announcement is in ado
that tho United Slates wiil offer to
mediate In tho interest of peace. Me- i
diation Is not necessary. In this case
it would bo interference in the Interest
of a nation which Is endeavoring to
elude compliance with its treaty ob
ligations. Upon the whole tho ofTei
of the Unltod States Government, If
> Correctly reported, seems to be ill-con
sidered, and Inopportune, and will
probably prolong and vox tho question j
which has now to bo determined.
"A crlslrt has been reached and if
there is no ouUside interference there
will bo an end, pacific or otherwise,
to tho question in a very short time."
Will Arbitrate.

The only condition of the com 'st Is that
every contestant must be a youtiy sub

Tho contest will close oil December 25,
ISttf. and the prizes will be awarded as
soon thereafter as It Is possible to com
pare tho returns and ascertain who havo ?
r.ils ?1 tho winning hogs. (Contestants
will he required to send to The News and

certificate sinned by three wUnos^Ps, and
sworn to before th ? nearest Trial Justloe,
jfivlnsr the uge, gross weight and iyj|t
weight of their hogs, and stating as near

raising and fattening the hogs, the cost
of raising tduun and tho breed of each.
The contest will be open to every man,
woman and child In tho State who Is a
yearly subscriber to The Weekly News
and Courier, and ivho can own and culti
vate ca pig. The' purpose of The News
and Courier In offering the prizes Is to on.
courago tho people of the State to raise
their own meat and to show that South
Carolina leads In thc\ production of hog
and hominy, as It leads In the manufac
ture of cotton goods. Some days ago we
received n letter from a Rarnwell county
farmer sugg^tetlng that The News and
Courier oft'.=>r premiums for tho biggest
hogs, and wo have adopted the sugges
tion. Our Harnwell eounty farmer said:
?' "It Is gratifying to the friends of your
paper to see tho Interest manifest vi in
the welfare of our farmers. Only a few
years ago The News and Courier urged
tha people to plant tol*ac.eo, which, from
all ^accounts, has been a blessing to many
In the Fee-Dee section of the State. Now
you are showing what our people can do
in raising their own bacon. 1 would sug
gest that The N <ws and Courier ofTer a
premium of $100 to the ono killing the
heaviest ? hog nevt December. 1 believe
that this would have a good eff ect and
cause many of our people to give more
attention to tho Hog, and that next De
comber there would be bigger hogs kilhd
In this State tnan ever before. This plan
would allow the smallest farmer to com
pete for the prize."
Thp reports from all parts of tho State
whluh woo havo published show that
while tho peoplo have little money they
havo more home-raised hog and hominy
than In any year since the war. Some
of the reports of big hogs tluit we. have
received are almost startling, so big were
the hogs, and grown at so little expense.
It has been demonstrated that bacon can
hot produced in South Carolina at qn aver
ago eost of three cents a pound.
i ho News and Courier will pay one hun
dred dollars In gold to the two m< n, wo
men or children who shall grow the two
biggest hogs this ye<ar. Kvery farmer In
the State should enter for the contest;
ovory town In the State should try con
clusions with Its country neighl>ors.?

In TurlfY.
By Southern Associated Press;
Washington, Jan. !?0. ? The German
emibatwy makes the following explanation
of tihe cotton seed oil matter:
The German Government, as has been
reported, is contemplating a change iu
the tariff on cotton seed oil. This con
temploited change, however, is not of
recent date. In the spring of 1803 and
ia,gnin in the spring of lbtM a law was
submitted to '4 ho German Parliament
wthlch failed of being acted upon. The
plan contemplates a change in the not.
of 1871 as <to make a difference in
duUee on vogclahJe oils which are used
for food, ft'tid tho?e, whiclwire used oiwjf
for mechanical purposes. In 1871), when
the law was passed imposing duties on
vegetable oils, science hud. not .su,fIiciont
ly plygressed to purify such oils as those
made of cotton seed for food purposes.
Sueih being llhe case, ng>w the German
Government chitons that if -used for table
purposes it should pay a higher rate of
duty than that simply used for mui.ihin
ery. Jf used' for the latter purposes the
tariff is to be reduced if rum 4 marks
to .'I 1-2 marks per kilogram . It is like
wise gifiu ouit that the amount of the
now duty in con teinphi lion is to he i?
full harmony with the duties on similai
oils of all other ?ouutries.

>A dittJe later a suit was brought in
equity against the commissioner asking
an injunction prohibiting the reduction

was involved. This ease was also do
t'idvd by Judge Cox in favor of lA?ng

\Ya tUi iug ton, 1). I',, Jan. ?10. At the !
earliest moment after the opening of tho I
session of the House, Mr. Catching* re- |
inirted from the Committee on ltules a j
resolution fur the consideration yf 'he i
Kelly I'a&ific ltailrond funding bUl. It !
lirovided iW general ilebut/ froiu the ;
adoption of the resolution until o o'clock
tomorrow, Thursday's session to begin <t t
1,1 o'clock, debate under the live minute [
rule to continue uutu 4:ih> o'dqpk when
the vote shall ho taken on the hill and
pending amendments. The order giving j
Thursday to the Committee ou the Dis- j
trlet of Columbia was abrogated and
Friday set apart fox business from that
committee.
A remarkably aerimoniouti debate fol- j
lowed the resolution and tho Committee J
on Hides were violently attacked for tin-/]
duly restricting debate by lloatnor,
(Dem.) of Louisiana, Maffuirc, (Dem.) of
California, ilryan, (lk*in.) of Nebraska,
and Cooper, (Hep.) of Wisconsin, and
.defended by Cabohiugs, (Dem.) of Miss
issippi, W'yle, (Dem.) of Mississippi, and
Kellly, (Dem.) of Pennsylvania. The at
titude of the Democratic party toward
the question involved in the bill was in
terjected by Mr. 1 Ionian, who asserted
that the party had always frowned upon
every attempt to settle the matter. This
was vigorously denied by Mr. Catching**,
who criticized Mr. lloluuiu's "prev.ouw
uesa" and asserted that the statement
was untrue.
Mr. McMilliu, (Dem.) of Tennessee,
joined in the colloquy, whiah was con
ducted with much gesticulation and de
nuivoiation , and pounding of the
Speaker's gavel, and was finally ended by
the sergeant-at-aruis. .
The demand of the previous question
on the passage of the resolution was
seconded by a vote of 133 yeas to 121
nnys, and then, before the oesire.l voto
was taken upon the passage of the reso
lution a modification was accepted iby
Mr. Catchings and it was agreed to by
unanimous consent.
As adopted the resolution provides for
general debate tip to adjournment of the
tomorrow's session, which shall hc?in at
11 o'clock, and in what ever time the
Committee on the District of Columbia
shall not ooeup.V of Friday's session;
"Saturday's session also beghinlug at 11
o'clock shall be devoted to the consid- !
eration of the bill under tho r? minute
rule until 4:?10 o'clock, when the vote ]
shall be taken, on its passage.
Tho dcilmfe from the 'beginning had j
proceeded amidst confusion, the mem
bers crowding al>oiit the Speaker's desk
and thronging the area in front of the j
desk, but all that was nothing to the hub
bub that accompanied Mr. Catch-iugs's
eil'orts to close, lie said the rule d.d not I
commit the House to any settlement of i
tiie question; the only question hivo.ve.1
was as to whether or not the House
would proceed to consider tho bi.l and lie
coulVl not understand why so much ex
citement should be occasioned over a
Simple order of business. Diverting to
the merits <>l tin; case Mr. Catching? s.iid
he understood there -wci* members <m tho
lloor who would not I'd sorry if tin [rev
< Turnout's interest were sacrificed, ?nd
the practii/oj quest! )ii Confronting the
House was should an effort be made to
get the money due the government? lie
believed that tho Ilouso would bo re
creant to every trust if it fulled to make
eflV>rt iu that direction.
The gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Hoi
man) suid Mr. Catchiuge had asserted
what was not {rue, that the, Democratic
party had frowned upon cv^ry attempt
to settle Or compromise the debt.
At ibis Mr. Holinan -was ou his feet
shotitlug and gesticulating violently, and
half a hundred members crowded about
tho Speaker's desk, whose voice was
drowned in the tumult, to which the
Speaker, pro lem., Mr. Richardson, of
Tennessee, added to by a vlgoousr rap
ping of tho gavel.
Mr. Catchingu asserted that the jour
nals of the 48th and lOtii Congress vsoul.l
sliow that two committees ? one of ibem
prewlded over l>y hi? colleague, Mr. Outh
waiLte ? had reported hills for the settle
ment of the question.
Mr. Ho! man ? Tlioy wont show any- '
thing of the kind.
Mr. Catx-hings?They will show It and I
know what I am* talking about. If we
had had rules to foroe consideration the
bills would have been passed, but they
?*>uld not be readied.
Mr. McMillin and Mr. Outhwaite were
uow on their feet and shouting their
news. Mr. MoMillin Mtid the House bail
refused to pans the bill.
"Mr. OMtchings ? The House d'.d not re
fluso to paws the Idlln; they were not J
oon?idored. *
Finally, by appealing to meirtbers to
restore order and dirojbing the sej-g^airt
a|-?rms to request them to take their
s dffs, the Speaker pro tern., succeeded in
r?|fr>rlng something Cike order and Mr.
t5JTtchingH concluded, with na expression
of opinion that two (Lays were amply
sufficient for an elucidation of crery
pr<?po*itioi? that could properly urise from
the discussion. More than two days
could not l>c given at tliki time in jus
tie? to quito as important Matters which
were demanding to be heard.
Tim proceedings leading to the modifi
cation of the rutoos above indicated fol
lowed with leea exxritement andthe House
resolved Itself into committee of the
whole to conrrtder the Itollly bill. The
bill was rend iu full to empty benches.
The debate was <bmpun by Jklr. Itellly in
favor of the hit and iMr. Harris, (Dem.)
of Kansas, in opposition and their
apeerfics exhausted the day's session.
A House -bill was flossed authorizing
the chief official of any State peniten
tiary or jail to open the mail of a priso
ner which, he has reason to believe i*
intended to be derogatory to the discip
line at the institution. Mr, Hatch re
ported the agricultural appropriation t>Ll
for the year ending Jan* 90, 18U6, and'
It was placed on the calendar. The
