Don Catarino Garza, the Mexican rev
olutionist, who is known by John T.
Long, J. II. Catron and one ortwoothers
in Tacoma, has had a remarkabie and
interesting career. As a politician, a
smuggler and a daring, reckless alven
turer, his experiences would fill a very
interesting volume. His ambition in
supposed to bo to become president of
Mexico.
Personal acnuaintancea describe Garza
as being much more than the ordinary j
border adventurer. Not only is he
Strong physically out lie possesses omnia,
thov sav. capable ol directing the efforts
oi a mail who is not only powerful but
ambitious, lie seems to possess, fur
thermore, a singular insight into the
affairs oi men, particularly of the class
he has to deal with, and this, together
with his influence at the Mexican cap
ital gives him more power as a revolu
tionist than many would suppose.
Garza is a man about .'!( years old and
is now in the prime oi life. As a boy he
possessed a lierce temper and early ex
hibited the will power and qualities of
a leader which havo very recently
pushed him to the front as the main
Sluing in the Mexican rovelutionury
movcin int.
About seven or eight years ago Garza
went to Laredo, where ho distinguished
himself as a political of social firebrand.
For two or three years ho was constant
ly in hut water and became obnoxious
to the authorities of Laredo, Corpus
Chriati and Rio Grande City. In a
street light in the last named place ho
was shot by one Sebue, a juror who had
helped to convict him ol murder.
Several shots were . exchanged and
Garza was badly wounded, being shut
both in the chin and the stomach. The
latter wound nearly ended his career.
Ho was laid up ior repairs lor several
months. iar.a dug the bullets out of
his anatomy and had them mounted aH
watch charms, which he wears to this
day. i
Tiijs incident well shows the timber
the man is made of. It was at Laredo
that Contractor Long knew Garza who
at that time was forming political alli
ances and hatching schemes while em
ployed on the Laredo police force. This
was seven or eight years fuo.
About this period of his picturesque
career Don Caterino fell in love with
Hcnurilii Gonzales, daughter of Don Ale
jandro Gonzales, ouo of the wealthiest
, rancheros ol Nueces county, Texas. His
ranch is something like forty miles
square. It is true that when he fell in
love with the charming seuurita Garza
had a wife and two children living in
llrow nsvillo, but that circumstance did
not deter the valiant adventurer from
prosecuting his suit with true Mexican
ardor. Old Don Gonzalos, however, did
not look on so complacently, atid . h
; u .. .u rfnat i.,,W c.aioriho
sought to clear the way by a divorce suit
which he brought against his wife in
lirownvillu. He was nonsuited in this,
but at the next term of court Mine.
Gar.a tried her hand at divorce with
more success. Garza paid her $500 to
bring thu suit. The lirst Mrs. Garza
was Miss Caroline Connor, daughter of
an liisli-Aniorican in I'.rowuvillo and a
Mexican mother.
Mrs. Connor, it seems, was something
of a terror, and she made lile very
wretcliod for her dashing son-in-law.
She had the utmost contempt lor him
and did all she could to facililato the
divorce. Not long utter the divorce was
granted Garza and thu lair Gonzales
wore nmrriod in Laredo.
They took a wedding tour to the City
of Mexico, the bride's father supplying
the bride's father supplying the casii
which they spout with a lavish hand.
When the honeymoon was ended Garza
began to long for something more ex
citing than married lite on a Mexican
ranch. Jt was about this time that he
began to organize his followers for a raid
inlo Mexico. For awhile Garza and hia
men employed their leisure tune in
smuggling American goods from the
Zone l.ebra into the interior and to the
City of Mexico. The Zone Lebra, or
free zone, is a district about 20
miles in width extending from the
boundary ol the United States south
ward. The government some years ago
look oil' all Iho customs duties within
this district for I ho purpose of building
up towns, or at least settlements on the.
frontier, which might bo made use of in
case ol war with the United Stales ni
nny similar difficulty. Though the lower
edge ol the Lone Lebra is guarded by
ollicers, smuggling is not dillicult, a's
contraband goods can hecarried through
in the night, or, if the smuggler is
generously inclined, ho can buy up (lie
soldiers and pass tlieiu in by daylight.
In this manner Garza ami his men
raised the wind to an extent whereby
they could lit themselves out with
horses, supplies and ammunition with
which to begin their border warfare.
While organizing Ins discontents
Garza went oyer into Tamaulipas in d as
uir souin as Monterey. He met num
bers of people discontented with the
Hiac government and, it is now be
lieved, gained considerable support,
both in money and arms. Then ho
came hack to Texas, and on thu bilh of
September last made his famous
crossing of the Ifio Grande, where
he issued his proclamation
raising the standard 'of revolt.
The revolution was organized in Mex
ico; Gar.a only crossing over with his
personal loliowingot about a dozen men.

form Mexico's government is very ;
largely a oue-nian government, the
president being Ihe man who has the !
largest iollowing of men or who can so-;
cure tne reins of government by other'
means. Garza's possibility of success,
they say, lies in his power to bring I

his ability to raise an army to carry out I
his wishes where milder means laii.

J'iiilaukm'ika, .Ian. 22 It was learned
yesterday that the Lehigh & Wilkes
barre Coal Company made a sharp cut
in coal prices Wednesday and it was
rumored that other companies were
meeting the cut. The Lehigh & Wilkes
barre company Wednesday quoted grate
coal at if.i.zo a ton on the cars. New
York stove W.50. nut 3.10. and egg
if:i. 15. This is an average cut of about
50 cents a ton. When the announce
ment of the cut was made, other com
panies notilied dealers that they would
iave to raake corresponding reductions,
an(j ,ler0 wa3 a jlveiy tjlne in coal
virtues.
It was said that the cut was made by
the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre in order that
the Reading might understand what the
coal companies could do in case they
attempted to enforce the demand for a
iarger share in the anthracite pool. The
Heading has been above the market for
some time and dealers have found some
dillicultv in disposing of its coal. The
ollicials of the company have steadily
declined to meet the cuts made by the
other companies and it is not nowknown
whether the cut made by the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre will induce the Reading to
change its policy.

CuicAuo, Jan. 22 A new phase has
been put on Jay Gould's charges against
fellow nienibersof the Western Traflic
Association by Traflic Manager Hanley,
of the Atchison. T 10 facts about the
cut on sugar are that 100 cars of sugar
from the Sandwich Islands had to find
market before the sugar bounty became
eli'ective, and four hundred cars were
hurried to market at regular rates, the
Union Pacilic getting its share or more.
The last hundred ears had to be moved
on an emergency rate or not at all.
The vice president, Stubbs, of the
I ' ti iuii Pacific, and Mr. Dissell wired
this, Mr. Dissell asking permission to
make the reduction. The only other
line interested was the Union Pacific,
and lliinloy wired Dissell to make the
reduction if the trallic manager of the
Union Pacilic agreed. He consented,
the emergency rate was made and the
cars were forwarded. If any Atchison
ollicial is guilty Hanley is the one, but
it looks a trifle inconsistent that Gould
snould nii'ko such a row over this case,
when one of his own roads, the Union
Pacilic, was quoting the sauio rate at
tlie saino time, on the authority of its
trallic manager.

Wilmington, Del., Jan. 22 William
Dupont, son of the late Colonel Homy
Dupont, head of the great powder firm
of this State, today transferred all his
real and personal property to ex-Secretary
of State Thomas F. Bayard for $1.
The value of the estate is put at several
millions of dollars, and the transfer has
created a hubbub here. For several !
months it has been rumored that Mr. ;
Dupont had instituted proceedings for I
an absolute divorce from his wife, his j
own first cousin and daughter of one of ! Washington, D. C.,".lan. 20 There is

homestead, about three miles from this ! ference with Senators Cameran and Mo
city. It was alleged then that his wife I I'hersou oi the Senate naval committe
went to her mother's home. The deed
of transfer was drawn in Minnehaha
county, South Dakota, on January 11,
and was attested before P. J. Kodge, a
notary public. Mrs. Dupont does not
join in the deed.
The laws of this State provide that in
giving a fee simple title the wife sliail
join with the husband in the deed if she
be living and not divorced. This last
move on the part of Mr. Dupont lies
set tongues going again, and the fact
that his wife's name does not appear in
the deed leads to the supposition that
he has gone to South Dakota, secured
his divorce and will locate there in the
powder business.

! and it is understood the secretary laid
beiore them a statement of the exoendi
tures he has recently incurred in his
preparations for a naval demonstration
in southern waters and asked that when
his estimates for appropriations should
be submitted he receive tho support of
the committee. A week ago he is al
leged to have said that these prepara
tions seemed to be absolutely necessary,
but ho now believes there "will be no
war.
It is further understood the secretary
received assurance of the committee
that he will be supported in every pro
per and necessary expenditure involved
in his precautionary movements. This
expression on the part of the secretary
of a belief that the crisis has passed is
Liken as an indication of conciliatory
dispatches from the Chilian government.
It is regarded as paving the way for an
ultimate act oi reparation on the part of
onin. At all events it is certain the war-
like tone recently manifested at the naw
uupaiiineiK nas Been considerably mod
ified. There is no less activity in the
navigation bureau in the preparation
and
translation of cipher dispa cries,

Secretary Tracy had nothing to give
out, and at the state department all was
quiet as the grave. Secretary Blaine was at
home and sent word to the President
that he was all right. The President's
message will not go to Congress today
and probably not this week. This fact
has somewhat allayed the excitement in
Washington and is responsible for the
beliel now finding many supporters that
Cnili will at the last moment make
a full apology. The statement
was inado that some sort of
peaceful proposition from Chili
had been informally submitted for the
consideration oi the President and Sec
retary Blaine, but this is not bv any
means definite. The navy department
is going ahead with its preparations as
if war were certain, and Secretary Tracy
was almost overwdtelmed with callers.
General Herbert, of the House naval
committee, was among those who had
long talks with the secretary.
Many naval ollicers refuse to place
entire credence in them alleging that
Chili is making a show of relenting in
order to gain time for her own prepara
tions. A very accurate index of popular
sentiment is obtained through the let
ters that pour in upon Secretary Tracv
from all parts of the country, whereas
ten days ago these indicated the devel
opment oi a decided war spirit, today
there seems to be a change in tone anil
there is a growing disposition to urge
the secretaay to a conciliatory course.

Peace is in the ascendency at the capi

conviction that war is not" the
necessary outcome of (he present
complications between the United States
and Chili, although there is also the
general belief that the good temper
and forbearance of this couutrv have
been sorely tried by tho exasperating
procrastination of tho Chilian govern
ment in its correspondence. A Pacific
coast senator tersely summed up the
views of many of his colleagues today
when he said: "There will be no
war. Chili deserves a spanking, but
the United States cannot all'ord to sacri
fice her dignity and play the school inarm
unless it is absolutely necessary, and
it is not. Our government has
adopted such a quiet, dignified tone in
its correspondence and has awaited the
pleasure of the Chilians iu the
conclusion of their nice hair
splitting, equivocating judicial
inquiry with so much patience,
that the little South American nation
has grown presumptuous, but has at
last come to tealize the fact
that the dignity of this country
is not to bo trifled with, and
when the President's ultimatum is
sent they will come down from their!

Sfi.m'u-:, -hiu. L! Compulsory drill at j
the State I'liiversity lut.-j aroused the1
determined opposition of a number of j
tlie students, who eoolly dec lare that !
they will sutler expulyion rather than 1
submit. The faculty nppear equally de-.
term i lied to require weekly drills, be
tween the professors on one side and ob
jecting students, male and female, on
the other, an excitement and eon''usion
prevails in the eoliege that may break
out into an open rupture at any .moment',
''Tlie faculty need not underestimate
the iniportanee of our objection," said
one of the opponents to the compulsory
drill, yesterday, "There are fifteen oi
ua who have positively refused to drill,
and we will aland expulsion rather than,
give up righta which we honestly be
lieve we post-ess. We have several ob
jections to offer. When we joined the
university a certain course of study was
outlined. J 'rilhnr was not uuhat course.
But imagine our feelings when, after we
have p:dd our t'oeu for this now qmvrtor,
they spring tiiis drill course on us.
"Again, most of the boya wdio object
make their living by their own exertions.
Many of them carry newspapers in the
early houru of tlie morning, and any one
can readily understand that they have
enough exercise. "
One of tho faculty sa'd yesterday,
when informed ol tho serious objection
of many of the students, that the drill
would be enforced oeyond any question,
and the students might as well under
stand the matter now as later.

the terrible sullei ing and pitiable condi
tion of lumbermen in the lumber camps

woo. Is districts irom t he ravages of the
grin have been received here and are
vouched for by lumber and wood pulp
agents w ho have recently been up there.
I.. M. Proctor, of Ugdeusburg, N. Y., has
just arrived from (ieorgian bay. He
says that in a lumber camp of the
liuieroy Lumber company, of Chicago,
111 men out. of loO had died of grip and
half of the remainder were sick, the bal
ance taking care of them. Other camps
a. e similarly all'ected.
The HUll'erings oi the men are inde
scribable. Some oi them are reported
to have gone crazy, it taking two and
three men to control them. The accom
modations are meagre and it is no fit
place for sick men, the lodging houses
being log cabins or shanties of the
crudest kind. Medicinal aid is hard to
secure and the men simply sillier and
get well or die. Some camps are com
pletely desecj.ed and many of the men
taken Kick are leit without care.
Agenta for wood pulp syndicates have
returned to report the back Canada
woods district in a similar condition.
The lumbermen are scared at the
scourge, as they call it, and tlee for the
large towns and cities whore they can
secure medical aid. lu this way the
lumbering interests are greatly sullering.
Many camps are totally deserted, with
the exception of the sick and a few
noble fellows who are staying to look
after their comrades. The deaths, have
been numerous. The burials take
place iu the woods under the snow,
where ninny a man whose family knows
not where he is will lie sleeping lorever.

live Democrats on the streets yesterday
would probably have expressed their
opinion that tlie party nomination for
mayor .would go to J. T. Ronald. It is
apparent, however, that the movement
for ll. 11. Giluian, chairman of the State
Central Committee, is growing strong.
The conservatives are insisting that he
is the best man and Hint if he can be in
duced to take the nomination, it must
goto him. Since .Mr. CI 1 1 man will re
turn to the city in a few days, his action
in the matter will so m be known.
Some of tho most zealous adherents of
Mr. (iilniaii assert that in case he rati
ior mayor the Democrats could raise in
his favor the cry, "Ureal Northern
against Northern Pacific," and bring to
the aid of their candidate tlie old Seattle
prejudice against tlie Northern Pacilic
railway. The Democrats point to the
fact that enmity to this corporation has
been Hiiccessfuily appealed to bo ore in
elections. So il Mr. Gilman will run, the
heavy weights of the party will try to
get him the nomination.
