CHICAGO. -May 23.-The railroads
gave their first definite answer yester
day to the demands of the freight hand
lers for an increase in wages. It met
with flat refusal. While only two of
the roads, the Rock Island & Chicago A
Eastern Illinois, disclosed their posi
tions, their action is believed to be in
dicative of the stand which the others
will take.
Committees chosen from employes
were told the company was willing to
renew wage scales of the last year, but
that an increase in pay, in view of the
conditions in the railroad business was
out of the question.
The offer promptly was refused by
the men.
An attempt was made by the officials
of the Chicago 4. Eastern Illinois Rail
way Company to induce the employes to
sign individual contracts.

MEXICO CITY. May 20.-The Mexi
can government was aware for some
time past that dissatisfaction with the
regime of lsident Cubeira was wide
spread iu Guatemala and that several
malcontents had gathered in the Mexi
can State of Chipa. The government
there requested General Barillu to move
to Tonola, some distance from the hot
der, in order to pivvent violations of in
ternational law.
I General Barillas and General Castillo
on crossing the line Sunday night, dis
tributed a proclamation to the inhabi-
, tants of Guatemala. Among other things.
the proclamation to the inhabitants re
cites that the standard of revolt has
been raised at the two extremes of the
republic against Cubeira, '"The most
calamitous figure of our contemporan
eous history, who having possessed him
self of power by crime, has perpetuated
himself therein by a chain of crimes."
The proclamation continues:
"We desire, with the entire country,
radical reform of the Con-titution of
1879 in order that it may fulfill the as
pirations of true literals who are such
by principle and not of usurpers, who
don the phrygian cup for lucre and who,
calling themselves the champions of law
.I,-, . ... ..
ana uoerty, pas their lives in open
enmity with all liberty and all law. We
desire that reform that guaranteed that
the individual may no longer be at the
mercy of the first despot who has a
mind to trample on them; that criminal
functionaries shall be made to answer
for their misdeeds that there may be no
more savage torture arbitrary imprison
ment nor executions without trial in
Guatemala; that justiee may be done
to him who is elected thereto. We de
sire a legislature freely elected by the
people. We desire n change in the
blundering foreign policy of President
Cabejra. We desire to cultivate with
our sister republics cordial and truly
fraternal relations instead of provoking
Western Sentiment Against Divid
ing Reclamation Fund.
WITH THE EASTERN STATES
Residents of Western Arid Lands, Un
willing to Divide Reclamation
Fund With Eastern States For
Swamp Drainage.
ASTORIA X NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, 1). C May -Western senti
ment against diiding the existing re-
clanmtioii fund or its prospective in
crease w ith eastern state, for swamp hind
drainage in the latter, is blocking the
movement inaugurated this session. The
fairness of the offer to devote funds
derived from sale of eastern state pub
lic lands to swamp work, i- iiipreeiated.
When the reclamation fuinl was erented.
it was held to be a general government
revenue, but the aridity of land contigu
ous to such us was being -.old to priv
ate owners in western states and the
forlorn prospect of utilizing such wastes
for perhaps generations, prompted the
government to devote land revenues of
the wct to red, muit inn Since the In
itial movement, results have mole than
met all expectations, until the ultimate
benefit are conceded of national scope.
Former foes of segregation now approve
the policy, and are among the mo-t opti
mistic regarding future developments in
the west.
When it was shown that approximate
ly (M).(MM,ntK) nrtes of swamp land ex
isted in the, country, almost exclusively
111 the east and middle states, leclaina-
tion inimciiiutely became a popular sen
timent, and the first notes were for
equal use of the present fund. Had not
western people oposcd any reduction of
resource for their work, the swamp land
agitator might hae won quickly. Hut
early opositiori seems to have been
effective. lowcer, it is regarded proper
that western men should continue xjm.
