destroy their grass, but that their
herders and their employers had
threatened to destroy all fences and
burn the houses of settlors who fence
their land, or drive otr the stock.
Many of these herders are said to carry
revolvers and in many cases Winches-

H. G. Butler, of i'.ueuos Ayre\
writes as follows to the New York
bun:
"The efforts which a Mr. Buchanan
has been making through the Amer-
ican papers to boom the Argentine
Republic are most ill-advised and have
had in one way extremely bad results.
Daily young men are arriving from
the states who do not speak the lan-
guage, have no money anil no trade
or profession; they expect that they

Marshal Annis arrested Hall and his
tnai was set for 10 o'clock, this morn-
ing, he being held tinder a fifteen dol-
lar bond meanwhile. He failed to ap-
pear at til- time s,.t, however, and the
bond was forfeited.
Morris pleaded guilty to a breach of
the peaae and appeased the offended
tries to live in of the world, and sal
aries are very low. Many of the
young men who arrive here seem to
expect that we should be waiting on
the doek to receive them and at once
open our purses and houses to them.
"Anyone coming here with an
agency or with money and speaking
the language will find plenty to do
and be sure of warm support from
the Argentines, who are our friends,
but these young men who are now

This age is givinga dignity and place 1
to electrieity that were not (.'reamed j
of a few years ago. and now comes M, «
L. Pence, professor of physics in th«
Kentucky college, at Lexington, claim* j
ing—and not without strong proof— i
that the space pervading ether is •
form of electricity.
This theory strongly supports Mr. ;
Tesla's claim that intelligences in i
widely separated planets can com- !
municate with each other, and is in
line with the often expressed hypotbe- i
f>is that electrical energy plays a great !
cart in the motion of the spheres, and J
ay be the real cause of what we call
"gravity."

more than ten barrels per week, all
