Webb's letter, I thiuk that Mr. Powderly has: the best of the dispute so far."

He says he will investigate the story about his telegraph lines, which have but recently-been made. He expressed himself as very much pleased with his treatment by the Salvadorians, but has nothing to say: as to the result of his trip.

Unless Mr. Mizener breaks his guarded silence, the causes of a number of the recent troubles will not be explained, as It Is thought he knows more than he is willing to divulge. Consternation continues in this city. Provisions and all other necessaries of, life sell at fabulous; prices. Commerce is very much depressed.

Merchants have sent orders to the United States and to Europe demanding no delay in the shipment of all goods ordered for Guatemala. The war is felt by all classes. President Ezeta said that he decided to. advance on Guatemala again -owing to the rejection of the effort of the diplomatic corps who were trying to arrange peace that would be honorable in the terms for Salvador. Ezeta was highly Indignant at the terms proposed by Bar-rillas.

Salvador considered herself the offended party and claimed the right of dictate terms of peace. He also claimed that acts of Honduras played bad faith and their efforts failed to bring about the desired results.

THE FIGHT ON THE FORCE BILL MAY YET OCCUB Before the Present Congress Adjourns Senator Hoar Introduces a Resolution Which, If Passed, Will Bring- the Sill tip September 1. 1 Washington, Aug. 20. Just before the Senate adjourned, Mr. Hoar gavo notice of two.

amendments to Senator Quay's resolution providing for an order, of business in the Son ate-. The first- is his resolution to provide for calling the previous question. The other amendr ment is to take the place of Mr. Hoar's substitute for the Quay resolution. The amendment provides for taking up the federal election bill Immediately after the tariff bill is disposed of, and that the bill shall remain before the Senate every day for three days after tho reading of the journal to the exclusion of all other business and on the fourth day of September at two o'clock voting on the bill and pending amendments shall begin and shall continue from day to day to the exclusion of all other business until they are finally disposed of.

Mr. Quay's resolution Is for a final vote on the tariff bill on SaturdayAugust 30. If the resolution with Mr. Hoar's amendment should be adopted, the elections bill would come beforo the Senate on Monday, September .1, with only three days allowed for general discussion. There is no likelihood, that Hoar's proposition will meet with the approval of the Senate.

The Impres-Eion among Republican senators is that the Quay resolution will be voted down or postponed under an agreement, which it is thought can be had among Republican senators conference or A great many Republican senators svho favor a postponement of the con-' sideration of the elections bill, believe that it would be bad policy to declare that sentiment by vote of tho Senate, and they advocate an agreement between the Republicans and Democrats to be reached by conference.

Even this would be Bcant recognition of the services which Ericsson rendered to the United Statea during the Rebellion.

Beginning with yesterday the House at Washington is to give six days to the consideration of bills reported from the Committee on Agriculture. In discussing the order to set aside the time for this purpose Major- SIcKintey "stated, that there was no legislation demanded by the country so uni- i ersaiiy as tuat --cumpnseu uie report of the In its report of this order the committee was simply responding to the agricultural sentiment of the country, both North and South. There was a disposition on the part of the Democratic members from lower Mississippi Valley to oppose the order for fear that it might interfere with the passage of the river and harbor bill. Hatch, of Missouri, saw the box in which the Democratic party was being placed for the opposition to the order came from the Democratic side alone and warned them that any Democrat represents an agricultural district would rue it before the frosts of November i Tie should throw any obstacle "in the way ot the adoption of the order. The Senate bill providing I for Federal aid to agricultural colleges was pa-wed yesterday, amended so that the appropriation be applied only to instruction in agriculture, mechanical arts, the English language and the various branches of mathcmal- ical, physical, natural and economic science, with special reference to their applications in the industries of life and to the facilities tor such instruction.

TIIE MALAY WIFE The wind was making wild musioin the riggiiig of the ship Winchester as she bowled along upon her course to Japan. ''The seas were rising and their thunder reverberated throughout the ship as they came crashing against the weather-rail. "Sail sang out a man on the topsail yard. "Whereaway?" "Two points off tho lee bow; about three miles off. Looks like a capsized boat" Instantly bows and rigging and yards were crowded with our men.

Presently came the order to lower a boat. The boat soon was down and away wo went, arriving in the course of half an hour at what proved to be the wreck of a Chinese junk. She lay over upon her beam ends, her bold half full of water, her bamboo sail submerged way in the sea. Tied to thobulwarks we discovered the form of a youngs Malay girl, evidently a slave, as the junk's crew had gone away without taking her with thein, The girl was worth I had never seen a more faultless form, while her complexion was not much, 'darker' than a brunette's. She was naked to the.

waist, around which was fastened a piece of pretty calico, while. a string of simple beads' encircled her throat. Lu ckily we had a Malay among our crew, so that when wo boarded tho ship we was ablo to leara the girl's story. It seeuiod that she had been, carried away from her native isle by the crew of the junk to be sold into slavery. Duringa gale, the junk being water logged, the crew deserted her, leav- ing the girl tied to the bulwarks, as there was not room for, her in tho boat.

She had remained thus for two whole days. The captain's wife being aboard she took au interest in the pretty girl," gavo her a civilized garb to wear, and fed her iu her own apartment. The Jcastaway returned her care" with a great show of gratitude and affection, and in course of time the throe becamo great friends. Th3 captain's son the first mate a fine looking fellow of 20, foil in love with the pretty and told his mother that he meant to marry her. ThiS mother, while sha did not exactly approve of his marrying.a Pacific Islander, said she had no objection to offer if he really loved the g-iri.

Not so his father, however, who swore that he would never consent to such a step and would put the girl ashore when they arrived at apan. Vainly the son endeavored to turn his purpose; the captain was inexorable. Meanwhile, the ship, with fair wind continued -on her course, and soon Japan was but a few day's sail ahead. The captain's son, Harry Marline, looked anxious. Unseen by hjs father he would often encircle the waist of pretty Malooka that was the glri's name and swear that nothing should part them.

Then Malooka would lean her head upon' his breast, and look up into his face with a word of love shining in her dark eyes. Herwhola soul seemed bound up in him; he was her world, and the firet words she could stammer 1n English had been of hot love for him. The blue -peaks of the China coast soon became visible; the night but one when the vessel should arrive in port came at last. In the middle watch Harry Marline stole on deck, loading Malooka by the hand. He moved to the gangway, and with the girl ascended iuto boat alongside.

There was at the time no person of the watch on deck, with ths exception of the helmsman, who was hidden from Marline's view by the binr.ucle.

The boat, filling in an lnBtant, went down, leaving Harry and his coinpari' ion struggling in the water." At the eame: moment, the moon," bursting from behind a cloud, flooded the, sea with' silver light, revealing tho forms of those in the water1 Quito plainly. V'-i'' The Malny girl was swimming by her lover's side swimrainsr away from the captain's boat, her blaolc tresses streaming on the water shadow as sho proceeded. 1 Notwithstanding hia. anger, the captain could not repress an exclamation admiration at of the girl, rippled aloud through the water like some beautiful swan. i She swam so fast that she soon left her lover a couple of fathoms astern of her, when, turning over on her back, she floated in wait for him as easily as if eho had been Jjorn in the sea.

At this Instant a cryof horror broks from the for a long, sharp fin the fin of a sharic was seen swiftly cleaving the surfaoo of the water- la the direction of the young mate! The monster; would be upon sha sailor before the boat could reach him his doom seemed iuevitablo!" Oh, God! My son! my son!" 'screamed the captaiu. Malooka, hearing that cry, soon ob- served the danger of her loverj 1 From her girdle -she drew1 lontr, sharp knife, then plunged -beneath the water. Meanwhile on came the shark. Soon it wus within a foot of Harry Marline. The captain and several of the men hurled their oars at the monster, hoping thus to turn the creature from its course.

Vain attempt! The shark ia seldom, if ever, influenced in that way. Presently the monster was seen to turn and dive to seize its prey. Harry however, still remained safe enough, the reason of which was soon made plain. First; a cloud of dark blood was Been to risa to surface of the water. Then, as the; spectators exclaimed, 'The shark ha got the girl instoad!" the Maylay smuirdon and the shark came fiercely battling.

-s Wheeling and charging with the skill of a trained shark lighter, the girl continued to- ply her glittering steel, keeping the monster at bay until she and her lover, were: both, helped into the boat. The blood now, was streaming down Malooka's arm from a bite which' she had received in her cried the captain, "It is nothing!" interrupted iMa looka, not mind at all!" Then the captain looked at his son. "You have saved my boy's lifer' said be, admiringly. "I no longer have any objection to offer to your marriage. -Your bravery, my child, has won me over to your side.

Take my boy, who is hardly worthy of such a wife!" The boat's crew cheered and shook hands with Harry, and his intended bride. They were conveyed aboard, where the mother, almobt wild with joy at the happy return of the son whom she had thought was lost to her forever, clasped him to her bosom.

Manifestly elected by fraud (for the negroes would never vote for such a man as Paxton to represent them in a Constitutional conventien, or anywhere else, and without their votes, if both whites and blacks were allowed to freely cast their ballots, he never would have been elected) Mr. Paxton shows clearly the determination of the white people of his section. The blacks must not be permitted to "rule" any section of the- South, it matters not even though they outnumber the whites ten to one.

It is to pre Vent their that this convention wa called. Every scheme proposed by -the members all Democrats but two) bag had this in view. One proposition submitted to this end proposes to disfranchise all persona who do not own a homestead or at least $200 worth of taxable property, arid to make the Legislature competent to make buying or selling lottery tickets in that State a forfeiture of the right to exercise the elective franchise. Another proposition is to require a voter to take the following bath before being allowed to register: "I have read and comprehend the article cf the Constitution of this State which prescribe the qualification of voters'; 1 am not debarred by the tests it prescribes, but am entitled to the same, so help To- be convicted, whether rightfully or wrongfully, even if maliciously and for -that very purpose, of certain offenses, some very trivial, under this clause would work the forfeiture of the right to vote. These propositions are manifestly not designed to lessen crime or to make the people of the South more intelligent, as might be supposed.

They are for the one purpose, which Pax-ton's resolutions plainly indicate, of depriving the black man of his right to vote, and thus to contribute to the gain of the Democratic party not only in local affairs but particularly in Congress and the Electoral College. Similar regulations in the North would do quite -as much for the Republican patty as these would accom plish for the Democrats in the South. Jt is against the principles of the Repub lican party, however, to resort to such a It is reserved to the Democratic party, which is ever parading itself as the "party of the people to stoop to such class legislation to further its partisan ends. Washington correspondents of Demo cratic papers have been of late sending out statements regarding census and its bearing upon the representation of Southern States in Congress, i By some process, unknown to the run of mathematicians, they figure out that ihe South will be the great gainer by the census returns. At this announcement the Northern Democratic papers clap their hands with The Cin-? cinnati Enquirer by this hidden process arrives at some very interesting conclusions.

With' the Congressional ratio as it now is, 151,000, "every Southern State, except will gain from one to four Congressman," it says. But if the ratio is raised to 181,000, Arkansas will gain two, Florida one, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana each one, Maryland two. North Carolina and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West Virginia each three and Missouri two a total of 18. A ratio of 181,000, it says, would make the membership of the 53d Congress 350 or 355, a gain of 25 or 30 over the present. From these claims it is clear that the Enquirer man believes that the IS Southern States will have 13 out of a possible 25 or 30 new members of Congress.

The Ohio Stale Journal shows the absurdity of these claims in the "Now, see how the figures of tho entire Union, based upon rouh counts and estimates, knock Democracy into the middle of the second decade of the 20th century.
