INTERESTING FIGURES IN THE SOUTH AMERICAN EMBROGLIO

THAT BLOODLESS REVOLUTION.

The Complicated Political Situation in t*«»ath America. The northern end of South America is in the midst of one of those political upheavals without which life in that region would seem unnatural. Thus far it has lieen a bloodless revolution, but the dan ger of war's ravages was sufficiently threatening to cause various governments, including the United States, to send the warships thither for the protection of their interests on the isthmus of Panama and in Colombia and Venezuela. It is now two years since the Liberals of Colombia rose in open rebellion against the Conservative government ami ever since there has l>een more or less raidin r and robbing. An effort was made to capture Panama about a year ago and nearly suet ceded. The rebels, who have arms and ammunition, are securely intrenched in the mountain fastnesses and one man who has visited them declares that one camp of 1,000 men is so secure in its position that 100 times their number could not dislodge them. A peculiar political situation has resulted from this rebellion, which involvi s several South American countries. The rebels of Colombia have the open support of President Cipriano Castro and the Liberal government of Venezuela, and in the event of war Venezuelan troops would undoubtedly aid the Co’ombian rebels. The Litterals of Colombia are also receiving moral support from their fellow partisans in Ecuador and Nicaragua, where Liberal governments are in power. Colombia’s Conservative government is not popular with the governments of the countries mentioned, but is popular with the revolutionary elements in the same countries. The situation can Ite likened to a disrupted federation, composed of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia and Nicaragua, in which Liberal aud Conservative parties are helping each other uud intriguing together. Being timing separate nations, however, the poll.leal and armed intrigues threaten interintion al trouble. It is reported that the Conservative revolt in Venezuela against President Castro is receiving actual support from the Colombian Conservative s. Nicaragua's threatened revolution will probably be similarly aided on the occasion arising. These conditions give ground for the report of actual or threatened international complications, and the talk of a federation or consolidation of some or all of the countries mentioned us a “Grap Colombia.”

Automobile Business Brisk Abroad.

The demand for automobiles in France lx lu-isk, the fine roads of that country contributing very much to the popularity of the machine. One factory employs 1,21)0 men and turns out 100 machines a month. Another tirm will turn out 12.000,000 francs’ worth of machines this year. *

TRAIN SAFE IS LOOTED.

Successful Hold-Up by Five Ban tits Near Evluu, Tea. No. 1 Cotton Belt passenger trniu. leaving Texarkana, Ark., at 0.25 p. m. Tuesday in charge of Conductor Armstrong and Engineer Henderson wa»i held up and ndtbed near Eylau. The train wax flagged by one of the robbers, who forced the tireman t.» go back anti cut off the mail and baggage cars, ami returning, forced the engineer to give up the management of his engine. One of the rold»ers, who, it appears, is an expert engineer, ran the engine, mail and express cars about a mile from the point where the first stop was made and forced the express messt nger to open h s cur. The robbers then blew open the safe with dynamite, s«*ctiring, it is said, a very large amount of booty. 7 The engineer ran back, picked up the mail and express cars, and, going lo the remainder of the train, coupled on and continued south. Neither the passenger nor the mail ear* were molested by the robbers. The spot selected for the robbery was well adapted for this kind of work. It is very wild and heavily tituliered. There were five men in the gang. The robbers, after securing the loot, cut off the engine from the mail nnd express cars and, forcing Engim-er Henderson to get off, they took the engine in charge of the robber euirineer nnd went south nt full speed. Engineer Henderson followed on a bandcar. which he had secure I from a nearby switch house. Early Wednesday morning he came up with his deserted engine about four miles from the scene of the robbery. The robbers .who. the engineer believed from their actions, were all railroaders, had escaped into the dense woods surrounding the track at thia point

THE STEEL STRIKE.

No Material Change in the Great Industrial Con fl 'ct.

The steel strike situation has not very materially changed, though in Pittsburg the manufacturers have somewhat strengthened thtir position in the mills in which they have resumed operations. Two mills of the Painter plant have been added to those already in operation. The strikers have not called out any more men, though the work of organizing the employes in the non-union mills is going on. They nre, apparently awaiting the next move of the manufacturers. In Pittsburg business is greatly affected by the strike, the iron and steel market Iwing demoralized and the hardware trade being also affected. Many small factories and shops using iron and steel nre either closed or are threatened with idleness. The owners of boats engaged in the ore nnd coal trade are feeling anxious. for unless then* is a speedy resumption of iron and steel production the mining of ore must cease. This impending stagnation has aroused the efforts of the Civic Federation to attempt a settlement of the strike aud every endeavor is now being made to put au end to the ruinous industrial war. Meantime at Bellaire, Mingo Junction. McKeesport nnd Wheeling the strikers maintain a strong up]»er hand and though they are ready to discuss peace terms they will not sue for them A conference nt which conditions of peace in the strike were discussed was held Wednesday at the office of the United States Steel Corporation in New York. The participants in the discussion included President Charles M. Schwab of the United States Steel Corporation, Samu. 1 Gompers, President of the American Federation of Lala>r; John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers’ Association; Prof. Jenks of the industrial commission: Secretary R. M. Easley of the Civic Federation, and Harry White, secretary of the Garment Workers’ Association. The conference was asked for by Samuel Gompers aud John Mitchell, who were believed to be acting in behalf of President Theodore J. Shaffer and the Amalgamated Association.

NEW YORK’S POLICE SCANDAL.

Prominent Figures in the Present Henan tian. The two most conspicuous figures in the police investigation which is now going on in New fork City are District Attorney Eugene Phllbiu and William S. Devery, chief of police. The former is determined to learu who are responsible for the evils which are said to thrive under the protection of the department of which Devery Is the head, nnd the disclosures which nre being made are furnishing sensational gossip nnd news for the metropolitan papers. It flktbe hope of the prosecuting officer of the second city in the world that he will be able to fasten enough violations of law and neglect of duty npon Devert to compel his removal. Phllbiu has been District Attorney of New York for about a year, and Devery has had the supervision of the police force ever since Tammany regained control by Van Wyck’s election in IW7. Mrs. Louise Hheridan, luff ter known as Ixtuise Davenport, widow of W. E. Sheridan, the Shnksperenn actor, was foun I dead in a squalid room, where she had been living, in Bnn Francisco. - Whites tried to drive negro laborers from their work on a railroad, Jellico, Tenn. James Hatfield, white, was killed and his brother, Winfield, fatally injured.

Blushes When It Rains.

One of the strangest things found tn the morasses ot Florida Is the blushing tree. It is found only in the thickets of these interminable marshes, whose luxuriant vegetation always proves a revelation to explorers. It Is called the blushing tree by those who know it because It actually blushes or turns a pink color when rain falls upon It It Is a graceful tree, with broad, bananalike leaves. Wide-spreading branches hang down slightly waving in the warm breeze, and it has emerald-hued foliage. It rises to a height of-twenty feet and Its thick, substantial trunk Indicates many years of existence. “While watching the tree the rain began to fall in torrents," says a returned swamp explorer, “after a custom It has In these parts. As the cool water drenched the tree I was amazed to note a changing of Its color. Gradually but unmistakably the green hue was giving way to pink. I went up to its trunk under its spreading branches to obtain a closer look and found it to be true, and the tree was blushing from the effect of the rain. In a few minutes the green had faded from sight, except in a few half-hidden spots whore the rain had failed to penetrate." After the shower had passed over the spectator watched with equal Interest this remarkable tree again assume its familiar green color.

Effect of Cold on Seeds.

Experiments with plant seeds subjected to extreme cold have shown that the power of germination Is not destroyed, but merely suspended by the cold. By the use of liquid air, seeds of barley, oats, squash, cucumbers, peas, sunflower and some other plants were recently kept for 110 hours at a cold of from IS3 degrees to 102 degrees centigrade. They were then carefully and slowly thawed for fifty hours. They were then planted and sprouted as well as If they had not been frozen. The experiments were made by Messrs. Browne, Escombe and Horan in London.

PE-RU-NAJVERTS DANGER In That Critical Time When a Cirl Becomes a Woman.

S MISS BESSIE KELLOG. < Mln Bessie Kellog, President of the Young Woman’. Club, of Valley City, North Dakota, write, the following from First street, South, Valley City, North Dakota: "Uver since I matured I suffered with severe monthly pains. The doctor did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he prescribed from time to time did not help me. He finally suggested that I have an operation. One of my friends who had been cured of a similar affliction through the use of Pernna, advised me to give It a trial first, and so I used It for three weeks faithfully. My pains diminished very soon and within two months I had none at all. "This is six months ago, and during that time I have not had an ache nor pain. I give highest praise to Perun a. Every woman ought to use It, and I feel sure that It would bring perfect health. "—BESSIE KELLOG. The experience of Miss Bente Kellog, of North Dakota, ought to be read by every
